Trivia:
Onsen Tamago, the turtle, is named after a type of Japanese snack. It consists of eggs that were soft-boiled in a hot spring. The name literally translates to "hot springs eggs". more
Goofs:
Continuity: Naru's need for her glasses varies dramatically between episodes. For most of the series she goes without them and has no difficulty at all (and there is no evidence that she uses contact lenses). And during the fireworks display at the festival, she is able to recognize Keitaro without her glasses in the dark, from behind. But earlier, when she and Keitaro both run off and break their glasses, she cannot recognize him without them even at a distance of inches. more
Quotes:
[In Keitaro's room, Kitsune places his hand on her breast]
Mitsune 'Kitsune' Konno: That's worth a month's rent.
Keitaro Urashima: Huh?
Mitsune 'Kitsune' Konno: What, weren't you listening? You cop one feel, I get one month's rent free.
Keitaro Urashima: What're you talking about?
[Naru barges in]
Naru Narusegawa: What do you think you're doing, you sleaze?
Mitsune 'Kitsune' Konno: [Fake sobbing] H-he started grabbing my breasts, going, "You like it here? How about here?"
Keitaro Urashima: It's the other way around!

Bizarre! Violent! Perverted! Addictive! AMAZING!, 14 March 2007
10/10
Author: Torgo_Approves from El Paso!

Ever since his first love disappeared from his life when he was a small child, geeky Keitaro has striven to be accepted at Tokyo University, where he strongly believes he will find his long-lost love again. Unfortunately, Keitaro's strongest assets (if he has any) aren't his grades, and he ends up being the student with the 27th worst grades on the school. Looking for a job and a place to live, he ends up at the all-girls dorm Hinata Inn where he quickly becomes the caretaker, despite the protests of Naru Narusegawa, who, to put it mildly, isn't Keitaro's biggest fan. Violent and hilarious comedy ensues as Keitaro must deal with his own extreme bad luck, angry girls, and an ever increasing sense that the world is against him.

This is in no way fine art, but that doesn't stop the show from being absolutely impossible to stop watching. This adaptation faithfully brings the essence of the manga to the TV screen: horny teens accidentally getting into awkward situations, lots of goofy humour, lots of violence (in 99% of the case directed towards poor Keitaro), lots of hot girls, a heart of gold and a generally surreal atmosphere. It's over the top, absurd and repetitive at times, but never boring. Some minor changes have been made from the source material but the show never suffers from it. In my opinion, this is as great as an adaptation of the wonderful manga can possibly be. I love it.
