Harems were already popular before love hina. Tenchi Muyo serialized 4 years earlier for example. I'm sure you could find super old harems if you bothered.

>>152269252
Main girl wins and she is pretty bad, she is a tsundere done wrong. Motoko is better because she is tsundere done right (at least compared to Naru). I always liked Shinobu the most though, because we were the same age and the character I could relate to the most. I got a pretty big hardon when I saw her naked in the hot spring after the time skip when she was older and I was still the same age.

It's a pretty bad story, wouldn't recommend it.

Motoko's dere side is incredibly cute, her behavior/personality is also more believable by anime standards than Naru's. Naru is just 95% tsun.

>>152274141
>dere
Naru's dere is just as cute, or cuter.
>more believable by anime standards than Naru's
Motoko is a raised in isolation with little contact with people samurai girl tsundere. She's more exaggerated and eccentric than Naru.
>95% tsun
Not close to the truth. Naru is not even tsun half the time. She's down-to-earth, almost the girl next door type save a temperamental fuse. Naru does a lot of introspective narration behind her actions and thoughts that depicts her more kuu than tsun and she has a lot more of that Motoko.

>>152274206
Manga counterpart is superior, No debate there. But anime counterpart is still exceptionally good. A lot better than most tsundere nowadays, in any case.

Naru a shit.

Literally Houki before Houki was even a thing.

From bait to truth.

>>152274206
That's true for practically just about every adaptation. Love Hina's adaptation wasn't bad and the characters were still faithful enough to the manga.

Motoko and Houki were both my favorites in their respective shows. They definitely had less tsun in the manga (LH) and light novels (IS), and you got to see more dere.

>>152274854
>>152274988

Motoko is more violent.

>>152275475
No. I'd take a cap, but you'll just say it's an edit.

As said, Houki is modeled after Motoko. You can't deny that.

Motoko is a classic tsundere, she fell in love with Keitaro after like 3 years and when that happened the became 100% dere

Naru is a neo-tsundere, she was friendly with Keitaro since the beginning but also very prone to violence and never admitted her feelings, and she stayed like that until the very end.

Would you stop baiting already? Naru is a classic tsundere and was tsun for 70% of the story. She was friendly as a normal person would be to a pwrson she befriended, but she denied her feelings many times, in which she persisted with a tsun front. Coming to terms with her feelings was a struggle and the admittance became the climax of the story.

>they almost died
>they almost got lost

The masturbatory nature of this shit was not only on the ecchi regard, but in every single aspect. Nothing really happens, it's just teasing, almost going somewhere, but never making it.

The way they dealt with the "girl of the promise" was retarded as hell too

All that said, Megumi did a wonderful job on this. Kimi Sae Ireba still a 11/10 song

>>152286614
Ecchi is bad, m'kay?

Mahoromatic and Green Green fit the former and not the latter.

That's the character's catch phrase, which is the first thing that springs to mind when I see said character about ready to have an aneurysm at the sight of exposed assets like you see in the post to which the quote was directed.

>>152287344
they all had issues

>>152287082

The characters catch phrase is a joke about the show itself. 'Ecchi stuff is bad!' in a show where ecchi is the focus.

And I don't know what this has to do with what I was pointing out.

>it's making hitting the MC a more popular trope.

It was already extremely common before LH. Stuff like urusei yatsura and Ranma had that in the bag three times over.

>>152288088

Urusei Yatsura had a reason to hit Ataru. He was actively hitting on every girl and being a dick to every guy. He was what a MC should be.

Ranma and Love Hina have girls beating up guys who don't deserve it. Making the lead girls look like bitches.

>>152288199
Ranma did deserve most of the hits because he couldn't keep quiet.

>>152288439

He was pointing out actual truths about the girls. Specifically pointing out when Akane was doing something butch or pushing a double standard. There was times when Ranma said something dumb like saying Akane was weaker or smaller than him. But most of the time, he was just getting Akane back for her saying something bad about him.

>>152268563
How is the anime compared to the manga? Manga is surprisingly good for haremshit even if Best Girl doesn't win. All I know is that the anime apparently never actually finishes the story or something and just goes off into its own thing after a point with some OVAs.

I liked Motoko much more than Narusegawa but you're full of shit.
Motoko regularly threatens Keitaro's life by means of slitting his throat. Naru might throw a punch but thats it. Naru shows some softness and compassion every now and then (I.E. tutoring MC) while Motoko is only dere during the chapters focusing on her and only temporarily. I'm guessing you're a secondary who's not read the manga
Motoko's dere is much sweeter though, especially combined with her easily embarrassed nature and inexperience with acting feminine which makes her a blushing tomboy of sorts
I'd still marry Motoko any day.

Motoko was still beating up Keitaro in the last volume as I recall, man. Dere is one thing, but still having a problem with prevented/indecent things is another.

It also helps that Motoko got a ton of character development compared to Naru. Did we ever find out what Naru was studying or what career she wanted?

Motoko had to face her past, her sister, and her own fears with Keitaro's help in order to find her own way forward.
