Summary: Keitaro and his childhood sweetheart make a promise to be accepted to the prestigous Toudai University. Soon after the girl moves away and Keitaro promises to meet her again there and to fall in love. About a decade later, Keitaro has become an artist and a daydreamer, having ranked 27th from the last in the national practice exam. When his grandmother leaves the all-girls dormitory, he becomes the residential manager and soon meets up with two Todai applicants who may have been that sweetheart, since he's forgotten her name.

Explanation for Rating: Adoogen: When you really think about it, this anime is so stereotypical it's not even funny. Guy likes girl, guy does something that is interpreted the wrong way,girl punches guy (over and over again), cycle repeats. So why did I give Love Hina such a good rating? Maybe I'm a sucker for the predictable, but I still enjoyed the series, the manga especially. Characters were very unique, and Motoko and Shinobu especially have some drastic character development (moreso in the manga, of course).

Other animes with similarties (we think) Full Metal Panic! (at the very least, season 2) Inuyasha Ranma 1/2
