I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Brilliant and touching

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

Keitaro and the girls of the Hinata House are back for a double length Christmas special. There is a belief that if you profess your love to somebody on Christmas Eve then you will have a happy life with that person… both Keiraro and Naru intend to profess their love for each other but inevitably things don't quite go according to plan! Having badly sprained his ankle Keitaro tells Naru how he feels but he doesn't get the reaction he was hoping for; she walks off and catches the train to Tokyo. Keitaro and the other girls all follow her but when they find her she is with her old flame Seta. Keitaro imagines the worst and leaves not knowing she was telling Seta that she liked Keitaro. Now she has to find him before midnight; it shouldn't be hard but inevitably there are plenty of difficulties along the way.Having enjoyed the twenty five episode series I expected to enjoy this too… I was not disappointed. There is somewhat less slapstick than the series; this is a more romantic story; but that isn't a problem and there are still plenty of amusing moments. These include Motoko dealing with a groper on the train, Keitaro ending up naked in a love hotel with Mitsumi and inevitable Keitaro being thumped when he accidentally sees the girls in the hot spring. The romantic story was sweet without being overly sentimental; I'm sure most viewers will be hoping that Keitaro and Naru manage to get together before midnight.These Comments are based on watching the special in Japanese with English subtitles.

First Of All, Love Hina is a great Anime Series. I watched all 25 episodes, the 2 specials and the OVA over 4 days! And believe me, it wasn't a waste of time!Anyway... The Christmas Special in my opinion is the better special out of the 2! There are many moods and feelings in which you encounter when you watch this special!It's a great movie! I have watched the movie many times and I still love it!I would recommend this to anyone along with the Love Hina Episodes, Love Hina Again and The Spring Special!The Music Is Fantastic as well! (Yeah, I love listening to Japanese music! One day I hope to learn how to speak Japanese!) I had to download it after I watched the movie!Anyway, I'd give it a straight up 9 out 10 !
