Love Hina (2000) Review Mar 24, 2023

Episode 394: This week we visit another show from the 2000s to 2009 decade and watch one of the OG harem anime: Love Hina. This anime adaptation of Akamatsu's manga was a slow build up romance, with budding friends, perverts, and terrible knack for repeating the same tropes every episode. There is a such thing as dated anime and this is one of them.

Anime Catchup - What Are You Watching? Mar 17, 2023

The episode you are about to hear was winged due to last minute maintenance on Som's end. That being said we hope you enjoy it because we would rather put content out then miss a week and of course we hope you continue to be patient with us as Som gets her shit together! This one is actually not Hunny Bear's fault!
