Love Hina: Motoko's Choice Between Love or Swords: Don't cry! · review

This DVD bonus episode is an adaption of the fan-favorite "Burn up Blade!" arc from the Love Hina manga. It's a fairly well known fact that mangaka Ken Akamatsu's favorite Love Hina character is Motoko Aoyama and this arc is probably the turning point in the original manga where she begins to appear much more frequently. As an interesting side fact, by the time the series ended the character of Motoko was more popular in fan polling than the lead heroine, Naru Narusegawa! So with that being said, if you are a fan of Motoko and in particularly the idea of a Motoko and Keitaro fan-shippingrelationship, then you will enjoy this episode immensely.

The quality of this episode is just as good, if not better than the televised episodes and Motoko's seiyu, veteran Yuu Asakawa never disappoints with her performance as Motoko. The only real downside here is that they condensed what could have easily been a full length OVA or 3 episodes into a single bonus episode. It's still good, but there was a lot of stuff tossed in the adaption from the original manga arc that would have been nice to see animated.

Final verdict: If you love Motoko, then you will love this bonus episode.
