Love Hina vs. KareKano

[The cruel angel's thesis]

This is pretty self-explanitory.
While I haven't seen either, I'm seeing KareKano first mainly because it's by Anno. What are your opinions?

[Yumiko]

Kare Kano! because Love Hina sucks!

Love Hina was a huge marketing ploy. That was all it was.

Kare Kano was an amazing shoujo love story that is both touching and sweet.

[cloakactive]

I have seen both series in its entirety.... Depending on what you want to base this on lets see.... Personally I like KareKano slightly more then Love Hina, however, have you taken a look at the popularity of Love Hina? In Japan its gotten pretty popular and its pretty popular amoung us underground anime people :D . There are more places to find Love Hina episodes to download then there are Karekano right now as well. That speaks volumes of how popular Love Hina is.... so many people want to do it.

This is how i see it though, More Females like KareKano over Love Hina and vice versa; More Males like Love Hina over KareKano. True this is not always the case but in the vast majority.

Oh, The rights to both titles have been picked up companies in the U.S so expect their evil dubbed (ugh) and subtitled (WHOO HOOO!!!) releases to come out in the not so distant future..... (KareKano is going to be renamed the tales of ridgemont high, ugh, how evil of them to change that name! Argh!)

[random1377]

It's unfair to even compare the two, because one is a well-written look into the lives and problems of teenagers, and the other is a fluffy male fantasy of having a whole bunch of pretty girls infatuated with one average guy.

By having excellent writting, believable characters, and realistic situations, Kare Kano absolutely DESTORYS Love Hina -- there is NO contest...

(Just to note, I LIKE Love Hina, it's is really fun to watch.... but when compared to Kare Kano, it is VERY lackluster and formulaic)



.....oh, and a name change to something THAT stupid is like changing Neon Genesis Evangelion to Big Robot adventure..... really.

[Kano Miyazawa]

(KareKano is going to be renamed the tales of ridgemont high, ugh, how evil of them to change that name! Argh!)

...Are you joking?!

Why don't they just translate it to His and Her Circumstances, what's wrong with that??

[Pr0crastin8r-distro]

I AM OUTRAGED! HOW CAN THEY CHANGE THE TITLE????? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I'm serious, lets start a f*****g petition and make sure this awesome series gets the title it deserves.

Where did you hear this from? I went to The Right Stuff's website, and I haven't seen anything about a title change...

[The cruel angel's thesis]

blegh..they could at least get a better name than "the tales of ridgemont high" if they have to change it. Why don't they just stick with the translation?

[akoayanime]

love hina is a little more better than kare kano.....
i have watched them both and ....

[cloakactive]

I FOUND IT!

Heres the link to read about that name change from KareKano to North Hills High. Ugh.

[cloakactive]

I dunno if the name change holds true but if this site does tell the truth i know i'm gonna be ticked.... thank god i already watched it fansubbed. hehehe :D

I can see why. Even though karekano is classified under comedy/school it is a romance kind of to, and a lot of women like romance (not all. I'm not trying to be sexist here.) And Although i havn't seen love hina I'm guessing that it's full of nudity. That would explain the complete and uder male fantasy thesis. Which I think is correct.

Stupid sh!ts. that's ridiculous. I agree with other person that i'm to lazy to quote about the petition. The worst thing they can do is change the name. Translating it wouldn't be as bad but... if they translated EVA's title then we'd all be talking about new age gospel in here which wuld make us all sound like god freaks...


For those of you who do not know me or are not my mod, I'm male. For those of you who havn't figured it out yet I'm a karekano person thing. I even made a wallpaer out of karekano and EVA pics and put it on my site. If anyone wants to see it the web site is located at http://www.angelfire.com/anime3/asukashrine/index.html


It's under wallpapers and it's called a tribute to Gainax.

Right Stuf and Enoki Films is all confused (or confusing us :confused: )

From what I gathered at the Anime News Network, Right Stuf liscenced KareKano from Enoki Films USA, and it's Enoki Films who wants the title to be "Tale of North Hills High." Right Stuf don't have an "official" title for the show yet (although I don't see anything wrong with the ORIGINAL title...then again, god forbid us Americans from learning Japanese :P).

On an interesting note, Enoki Films had planned to name Utena to "Ursula's Kiss"... here's the sight for that of anyone wants to see it: http://www.enokifilmsusa.com/library/ursula.htm

Seeing as Utena is Utena, perhaps KareKano will stay KareKano...:)

[renagade]

:confused: Ok. I'm confused.

[ajohn]

Right Stuf hasn't decided on a name yet, and they have final say I think. I'm pretty sure they won't go with something as dumb as "Tale of North Hills High." or something similar. His and Her Circumstances is what I think they'll go with, I personally prefer Kare Kano.

[renagade]

Karekano is just like a nickname. You know, since the japenese name is so long they could say it without memorizing some big name. It's kind of like Evangelion being called EVA.

[cloakactive]

Right Stuff International Announced At Anime Central that the official title of the Commercial Release for KareKano will be "His and Her Circumstances"

And they all rejoiced. :D

[The cruel angel's thesis]

well, I just saw kare kano a couple of weeks ago, and I think it's a damn good show. Not sure about love hina though......I still haven't seen it yet.

[renagade]

well... I'd fight to the death to defend Miyazawa (I wouldn't even do that for Asuka). I have no idea wether or not I just spelt her name right...

[Ikari_Asuka_Langley]

Um.... *coughs* check my avatar... I enjoy the way Love Hina makes me well... not want to kill myself.

Yep. They should both be coming here sometime late this year.

[Takahashi]

Look at it this way, there is a forum for Love Hina and none for Karekano, enough said. I haven't seen Karekano yet, but Love Hina is currently my favorite anime. There is no NUDITY in Love Hina, also woman are not object, but human being with feelings and own will. As to the story it has a superfiscial and a deeper layer, taking on subject ranging from lonliness, comitment to honor and devotions. Anyone who is so narrowminded to not give Love Hina a chance is missing out on one of the funniest serie ever.

Ummmmm seeing as how both companies already have a full dvd release schedule lined up for this year, it would be best to say to expect their impending release NEXT YEAR.


Oh and Titan21.... just because KareKano doesn't have its own forum doesn't mean anything and vice versa, Just because Love Hina has its own forum doesn't mean anything. Some of the other series that have their own forum usually go a day or two before someone else will respond to a post. If there were a Kare Kano forum, there would a lot to talk about on the series seeing as how the storyline of Kare Kano is definitely a lot more intricate.

Speaking of narrowminded, your own statement was very narrowminded. How so you may ask? You shot down KareKano even though you've never seen the show. I've seen both shows. So untill you've seen a show all the way throught you have no right to shoot it down without reason. Once you've seen the show then you can shoot it down as much as you want as long as you can back yourself up with facts. Even though I Love Love Hina as well, I will have to agree with Yumiko in the fact that it was highly commercialized.

Titan21... If i have offended you in any way let me apologize ahead of time.

There is also no nudity in Kare Kano, women are not objects, and it takes on subjects ranging from lonliness, comitment to honor and devotions as well as issues of child abuse, lasting commitments, remarriage, depression and honesty -- and it does them all realistically (and not a flying turtle in sight).

Just because Kare Kano does not have its own forum does not make it less popular, and I'm gonna have to go ahead and alter your last comment for my own use: Anyone who is so narrowminded to not give Kare Kano a chance is missing out on one of the deepest, most sincear animes ever.

[renagade]

The reason more of the female pop supprots karekano is simple... Acording to the english gainax site it was infact created for women... and I just have one question... did I shoot down either show (has a short term memory)... I don't think I did. I belive I only supported karekano...

Guess I provoke some reaction and to my defense I never said anything bad about Karekano yet, so don't be offended so fast. I have seen some episode from Karekano, the ones that I can get and I am not impressed one bit. Animation was all screwy, too much shifting of styles and they talk too much. People said a picture could expressed a thousand word wel one episode could make a few hundred picture, I mean damn they can talk your head off if you give them a chance. I get the story, its just not halve as funny as Love Hina. Who gives a damn about it being too commercialised, its a matter if you enjoyed it or not, i have a lot of laughed out of it, when I get depressed I know exactly what anime I am going to watch. Sure Karekano has some good points and at some point its makes me smile, but overal it still is boring. Narrator jumps in every five second(or was it the main character), speaking offscreen. I don't need each screen to be explained, I rather like to see it for myself. It has a lot of gay and lesbian reference, not that I have anything against gay people, but every episode need to remind me of gay people and what they do.

cloakactive, I am not shooting down Karekano, I am just putting a few word in Love Hina defense. All the things I have said has been positive towards Love Hina and kill some prejudice people have about Love Hina being an T!t and @ss show and give reason why the females audience shouldn't avoid a great show.

[Yumiko]

A review of love hina that I agree with

Overview: Urashima Keitaro is a deluded loser. He has wasted his meager academic talent applying to a school (Todai University) which is obviously beyond his reach. Having failed the entrance examination he is now a ronin, forced to wander the earth with no discernible prospects for his future.

Somehow the fantasy of attending Todai is mixed up in his mind with the memory of a childhood sweetheart of his. Before she disappeared from his life forever she somehow convinced him that they should attend Todai together. Improbably, he can't remember her name and has no idea where she lives...

Somehow the solution to all Keitaro's problems boils down to his becoming the resident manager of a girl's dormitory (the Hinata Inn) and making further doomed attempts to enter Todai. All of the females at the Inn are undersexed to the point of hysteria... Keitaro is ensnarled in their madness as dogsbody, scapegoat and voyeur.

Hounded far past the point of madness, Keitaro begins to fantasize that one of the girls is his old childhood sweetheart...

Review: This is the most annoying anime series ever. There are dumber, more poorly executed and more boring series but this one is the most annoying. Never have I seen such a highly touted series deliver so little of what it promised.

First off is the so-called romantic premise. The producers of this series made an industry out of doing almost nothing to resolve the central romantic question in favor of spinning specials to cash in on its popularity. Instead, improbability is piled onto improbability until you can climb upon the tower of nonsense and practically touch the moon. Of course, you will have to do it alone...

The second problem is the alleged comedy. Most of this consists of random abuse of the central male character. He is flung through the sky by some irate female in episode after episode - I was bored with the idea the first time. The only other comedic staple is an endless parade of fantasy elements which obscure and confuse any possible plot drive.

The characterization is something out of a mental hospital. Keitaro is craven and lifeless - the most toothless and hen-pecked 'romantic lead' ever. He is surrounded by emotionally crippled enablers who embark with him on an endless journey of denial and self-abuse. For all the empty promises of confessions and achievement we get nothing but more empty promises. The characters' feeble mumblings to themselves to try harder next time are a poor substitute for plot payoffs.

Visually this show contains some of the worst character design in any anime series ever. The girls look flabby and doughy; too much is made of the breast sizes of the older females. Keitaro is similarly uninspiring; he looks like a middle-aged man with a dye job.

The overall look is inconsistent. Some elements are oversimplified while others are more detailed. Vehicles in particular always look sketchy and backgroundy, while backgrounds tend to be more carefully rendered. The animation is well done; why so many fight and chase scenes are included in the series is beyond me.

The seiyuu work has its moments but the cast doesn't seem to work together all that well; there is a cut-and-paste feel to some of the scenes. The OP and ED tunes are very good; Hayashibara Megumi does an excellent job with both numbers. The accompanying sequences, however, are vapid and forgettable except insofar as they try to promote the physical charms of the females. There are a fair amount of breathy and cutesy image songs, none of which fail to give me the creeps.

Rating: D: Strictly for the chronically depressed.

[Takahashi]

Yumiko, forget about this review, personally I hate these kind of stupid narrowminded reviews. The best reviewer is yourself, then you can say if you like it or not. I gave Karekano a chance, why don't you give Love Hina? Sure my experience aren't that positive to speak of, but I am willing to watch more episode just to see past my judgement so far. Do not be prejudice like the reviewer. The person probably has already made her/his mind up about the serie before she/he has ever laid her/his eyes on it. See past the exterior and you will see there is more to Love Hina than what that person describes.

[Yumiko]

i have seen all of love hina because it was advertised all over tv almost as much as lain and so i expected it to be good.

so i have seen all of it. i still say it sucks. the only good thing in the whole series was the turtles.

[Takahashi]

Then I guess your mind is set, to each his/her own opinion. Atleast you gave it a chance. About the commercial well there isn't any anime related commercial(except DBZ, digimon, flint and Pokemon!!!! :mad2: )in the Netherland so I was not biased or has any presumption about the serie, so I enjoyed it pretty much.

[renagade]

A lot of the time in ads they show the best parts of the show, so when u see the actual thing it's quite a let down from what the comercial made it out to be. Reviews... ba hum bug. I once saw a review for a game called "blue stinger" and they made it out as the worst game. I had already played the game and I just ignored the stupid thing... I'm going to agree with Titan on the review bit...

[Morbius]

I haven't seen Love Hina but KKNJ was one of the best anime series I have ever seen so it would have to be really good for me to put it above Kare Kano... And judging from what people here say about it, it isn't that good....

[jinshil]

i have seen both love hina and kare kano. although i love both to death, i like the character development in kare kano more, although the animation wasnt as smooth and clear. also, i believe that love hina's plot wasn't nearly as good as kare kanos..but thats just my opinion.

i

[iwakura]

In terms of plot quality, I must choose Kare Kano.

Love Hina is great, somewhat mindless entertainment.

Kare Kano deals with life changing situations and personal growth.

[scanned]

I have only seen one episode of Kare Kano so far, so I'm not the best person to judge them here, but... they are a bit different genres, aren't they? Love Hina is "harem anime" (:D), while Kare Kano can be classified as "romantic comedy". I love Love Hina, and I definetely liked Kare Kano based on the first episode I saw. I just try to enjoy them on different levels.

And oh, we are talking about anime here right? Because LH vs KK battle in manga would be a lot more interesting.

[cloakactive]

I have both the LH and KKNJ manga and let me tell you... they are still VERY different from each other. While its true that the story presentation is a far cry higher in quality for LH, KKNJ still easily knocks out LH when it comes to character developement and quality in story. But you do have to understand that both are directed towards different people and are both in different genres.

True that it would be a lot more interesting to see, results would vary depending on ones personal tastes.

[iwakura]

Actually, KK is more like romantic comedy minus the comedy.

[The cruel angel's thesis]

egads, this is an old thread. Well, after seeing both shows fully I can comfortably say that I prefer Kare Kano. The lack of character development in love hina will KILL ME.

[scanned]

Originally posted by iwakura

Dunno, maybe I'm a weird pervert, but I laugh quite a bit when watching Kare Kano. And oh, I've only seen the first 6 episodes so far. But one thing is for sure - Kare Kano is the second anime I'd give 9 points outta 10 after Noir. First place (10/10) is still held by Serial Experiments.

I love Kare Kano! (Least the first 6 episodes :D)

[iwakura]

I guess the first 6 epsiodes are kinda funny, but these "funny" things get flipped into "sadness" when the reasons why they occur are explained.

At least to me.

[scanned]

Okey, I've seen 11 episodes, but still, no sign of sadness. Just how sad is it supposed to get? Don't tell me that someone dies or something? Oh well..

[iwakura]

Don't worry, ithe sadness thing might just be me.

I see the character flaws and see that the people aren't nearly as happy as they pretend to be. Even as they approach happiness, they pull back out of fear or some other thing.

[cloakactive]

Its a different type of sadness I think is what people are referring to. Not the sadness one gets from loss of someone else, but sadness as in a lack of completion or going all the way through with something when you know it should have happened. Thats what I believe people were trying to say when they referred to sadness.

[Kodachi]

IMO, Kare Kano beats Love Hina in everything but fan-service.

Well, not really. Love Hina has a better ending (by ending I mean episode 24. Everything beyone that is garbage IMO) and it maintains the same high level of quality throughout the entire anime, something which cannot be said for Kare Kano, an anime that just... loses it somewhere around the middle. A darn shame too, as it could have been a real flawless gem.

[cloakactive]

The only reason LH has a better ending is b/c the mangas are done with. KareKano is still ongoing and last i check is currently on Manga #12. When they finished the producing the anime of Karekano they were still part way through the play in the Manga. Sooner or later Gainax will give us what we want, our second season of KareKano... and when that happens I'm sure there will be many people ready to jump at the chance to watch it.

Just really curious... but is there someone else out there that is collecting the manga? ^^

[iwakura]

Yeah, I thought the recaps during the first few minutes were cute, then ehy went off and did a multiple-episode recap.

Did they run out of material or what?

Then there was episode 25...

[Paradox]

I thought that multiple episode recap thingo in KK was due to change of producers, since Anno left halfway through the series right? And perhaps the multiple episode recap was just to buy some time to reorganise things?? . . . Cos I notice after the multiple episode, the quality of KK went slightly down . . .

Yes, I know all about that. It doesn't justify a poor ending. They could have released the 13 first episodes as an OVA and then waited for the manga to end. Look at LH, at least the studio that produced that anime had the decency to stop at 24 and wait for the manga (Not that it did them much good, everything beyond 24 turned out to be nonsensical nonsense wrapped with T&A).


Sooner or later Gainax will give us what we want, our second season of KareKano... and when that happens I'm sure there will be many people ready to jump at the chance to watch it.

I know I am, but I doubt if they really will make another season. The events that are transpiring in the manga are probably already inconsistent with what happened in the anime, making a second season impossible.

btw, you can get translated hq scans of the Kare Kano manga on the web. Though they're only up to the third volume right now, I'm afraid.

[cloakactive]

The anime followed almost exactly the story of the manga. Unlike LH, you can actually hold the manga and read along with the anime at the same time (with the exception of Kazuma left out). :) Yea, i know of the existence of the scans out there... I have the raw mangas... and just for anyone who is curious, the translations of the manga are up to volume 10 last i checked... (but those who are lucky will have translations up to the latest album. ;) )

Well last year their probably was no chance of that happening since gainax aren't really known for doing sequels but

Since they annoucned Gunbuster 2 and a second season of Mahoromatic the chances of this happening has improved

I pretend to be happy 24/7, but I'm not. I know LOADS of people who fake happiness... so yeah...

[Al Ketsu]

I saw both but I jus started to watch Kare kano and finished love hina. I heard of Kare kano but was not able to find anywhere on MIrc. But from the beginning of Karekano I got a little annoyed.den I got addicted after the second episode. Suddenly I jus watched all of the episodes on the dvd. dats how I started in love hina. Do i prefer both of them. It was so damn hard to find a dvd of karekano but I was able to find one at babbages. So i think it might get popular....I think.So no one hears of a finishing love hina marriage epiode or Ova of love hina. I guess dat sorta suks.

[iwakura]

The Love Hina Again anime was missing much of the charm of the original. I don't think it's worth going any further after seeing it.

[Al Ketsu]

I guess it would'nt, but if u read the the ending manga, theirs an itch of u wanting to see it in anime form.:lol: I guess its just me.

[ChcksDigScrs]

i've seen both, although i havnt seen all of kare kano, what ive seen so far is to my liking. there both good in there own inimitable ways but imo i don't think it's fair for me to affirm one over the other. maybe if i was a chick, id like kare kano more but im not. also i think there genres are so transparent and predictable, sometimes i get really annoyed watching two people being cheeseballs, i need more tragedy. they should make romeo and juliet into an anime and maybe i would be satisfied. and if there is someone please inform me!!!:smokin:
