"Many accusations have come from within and outside
both the anime artistic community and anime fan community
that anime has begun to rely more on it's recent series
for inspiration instead of outside sources or more classic
works. Many such series can be used to prove this argument,
today's case is the comedic series Love Hina based on
a popular manga of the same name. It's a decent series
on it's own merits however one watching it can't help
but feel the spectre of the early 90s phenomenon known
as Tenchi Muyo! in the creation of this series..."

"After such epic classics as Ranma 1/2 and Maison

to get my hands on Ken Akamatsu's Love Hina..."

"The brothel comedy is nothing particularly new
to anime, and as a result, one might be inclined to
think that the genre has run its course. However, the
amount of variance that the basic concept (one male
and several females that he must deal with) creates
allows writers to keep returning with different ideas.
Ranma 1/2, Tenchi Muyo, El Hazard, and Urasei Yatsura
are all brothel comedies, but each one has a different
feel and pace to it because each of the male characters
are different, plus all of their suitorettes relate
to each other (and the man of their pursuit) differently.
Enter a fairly new member of the genre, Love Hina..."
