Who They Are, And Where They Come FromQuite obviously, the protagonist of the show is hapless Urashima Keitaro. He’s likened to a henpecked husband, and certainly fits the description to a T, only he is not married. He falls in love with a sweet girl, Narusegawa Naru, but constantly gets beaten up by her through his accidental “prodding and touching”. Joining them are tenants with one of the biggest ranges of personalities I have ever seen.Urashima Haruka: Keitaro’s aunt, who constantly chews a stick and dislikes acknowledging her age, preferring Keitaro to leave out the “Aunt” instead. Konno Mitsune: A mercenary, foxy girl whose only aim in life is to fall in love with someone from Toudai, but spends time bringing Keitaro and Naru together. Maehara Shinobu: A shy, withdrawn girl who abstains from all things children aren’t supposed to know. She meets Keitaro by accident and becomes a member of the hostel in one of the first few episodes. Su Kaolla: Her origin is unknown (although she seems Indian with blonde hair), and she is the gearhead in the hostel. She has an obsession with eating, and is open and carefree. Aoyama Motoko: Swordswoman by day and feminist by night, she hates Keitaro with a vengeance. Although she tries to believe that she doesn’t need a man, her actions betray her occasionally. Also in the story is a girl with a personality almost similar to Keitaro’s, a Casanova, a girl with an urge to destroy and an eccentric professor. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. |

Good enough yet? Well if not, Welcome to Anime Music heaven!! To be blunt, there are so many good songs on this show, from Instramental, to good ol' J-Pop. The cool thing about the J-Pop is the fact that Megumi Hayashibara, the singer for the majority of the music in the show, was at the same time was the voice of Haruka Urashima. (Keitaro's Aunt.) That was especially nice during the festival episode where she ends up singing the theme to the show, "Sakura Saku," witch turns into a group singing. Nothing special in original terms, but I thought it was very enjoyable and is one of the more memorable parts of the show for some reason. Moving onto instramental music, I must say that the mixed variety was very good, and usually came in at the perfect times. At some of the few huge turning points, the instramental music chimed in, and multiplied all emotion levels by about 10! You Anime music fans will be in for a treat.
