Christmas is in the air. Rumor has it that if you confess your love on
Christmas eve, your wish would come true.
Everyone is rooting for Keitaro and Naru, but will these two finally get
around to admitting how they feel about each other?
Review: Love Hina Christmas Special
I had originally incorporated the Love Hina Christmas Special in my Love Hina TV series review as the 26th episode, but since it had been released
separately I've had numerous requests to review it on its own.
Love Hina Christmas Special anime serves as a conclusion of sorts, wrapping the
series up while at the same time maintaining an open-ended air about it.
Thw whole Hinata Sou gang is excited about Christmas Eve, more so when they
find a gift inside Naru's closet with the word "love" on the note.
Everyone assumes it's for Keitaro... and try as they may to keep their
discovery a secret, Keitaro eventually hears about it.
Keitaro gets so excited that he injures himself. He then decides to tell Naru
exactly how he feels, but Naru's reaction to his impromptu confession isn't
exactly what he expected.
What follows is an extended chase sequence for Keitaro and Naru, one going
after the other through a series of misunderstandings and relayed messages.

Love Hina Christmas Special maintains the series' generally light-hearted feel
while infusing more emotion and significance to the plot and the characters.
There's genuine concern for the two main protagonists, with everyone putting
aside their own feelings in order to give way for what they believe is best. Naru's bull-headedness gets frustrating but it's actually not that bad in this
installment.
Love Hina Christmas Special sports the clean and cute style of the TV series
in terms of visuals, but I somehow got the impression that the overall effect
was softer compared to all the other Love Hina episodes I've seen.
I also enjoyed the extra New Year scenes that were incorporated into the
ending credits.
Overall, Love Hina Christmas Special is a must-see if you've been following
the series. I was actually content with the ending, even if it's not as solid as some
would have liked.
