Love Hina Resource Links - Mine, Yours, Everyone's

[Kataja76]

This topic is related to the Come & Share project as well as the Scan Deviations Shinobu-fan project, sponsored by the Shinobu Brigade Foundation, and also representing a new initiative called the Love Hina Forever Movement.

I started searching for LH material and fan communities on the web in late 2005. In early 2006, I spent a lot of time trawling for material and ideas needed to make SB and HKSS sigs and other fun stuff, which was a popular everyday activity on AnimeB back then.

Ever since I have kept bookmarking new LH resources. In the meantime, one computer of mine and one computer of my friend's have broken down, taking my bookmarks with them. Program bugs have led to minor data losses. I have learned to be more careful with backups, and have paid to professionals for restoring a pile of lost files.

Today it seems all my scattered LH bookmarks are finally gathered in one place, nice and tidy, as if a Maid in the NBB had organized them.

This lays a firm basis for my work for the LH fandom and especially in the SBF, as now all of the online resources are at hand when needed. Except some that have disappeared over these two years, of course. (So sad. They were not necessarily the weakest ones. )

To celebrate finishing this private project, I am posting a screenshot of my Iceweasel browser's Bookmarks Manager.



Commentary:

As you can see, one screen is not enough for all of my LH bookmarks. Expanding the AMV:t ('AMVs') folder, for example, would have lengthened the list too much to fit.

Not all the sites provide information in English. Seemingly the French-speaking world is pretty much into LH, but also German speakers, Hungarians and Norwegians have produced interesting content. And I have heard of more.

No cool Finnish site dedicated to LH, though, I'm afraid. That's why I came over here in the first place, mind you.

Muut foorumit stands for 'other forums' - LH fan forums other than AnimeB, that is.

LHf is short for Love Hina -foorumi. I have used LHf as my standard abbreviation for AnimeB since 2006, denoting that AnimeB is the Love Hina forum for me. Other people may have different opinions, and that is more than okay!

After a moment of consideration, I decided to censore a few entries, just to be sure, even though that is a JPG without any real direct links. The harshest one led to a listing of LH hentai dōjins; the rest were more like borderline cases as regards fitting to be published on AnimeB. If you burn to know more, you can always PM me. And I will probably answer, sooner or a lot later.

vanhentuneita stands for 'out-of-date' or 'obsolete'. The bookmarks in that directory are to be checked once more, maybe the sites to be searched by engines. Eventually, deletion awaits.

I do not have any links to any love hina sites as I dont tend to book mark. You should be proud of how many love hina sites you have. I find them pretty hard to find sometimes. Well done =)

I tend not to bookmark or have pretty much anything organised, but I'll have a run through and get a list together

pretty hefty list, Kata! Sterling work!

I see some blackouts there... what's with the use of dark matter?

[Kataja76]

Thankies! Anybody else awake?

H-rei, I will return to that dark matter issue later...

[Mandrake]

Does character specific sites count?

[hinarei]

I would say so it's all info about the series, in't it?

Yes, of course. My listing includes at least one clear case: Arrow Signs.

Here is my link:

Kanako's Notebook:: : *: **: *: : A Shrine to Kanako from Love Hina

There has not been an update from this site for more around 2 years but it does offer a great in depth analysis of Kanako Urashima.

Still digging, Kata! I swear I'll come up with something soon

[Kataja76]

Thank you for your devotion!

[Betong Åsna]

When I get home, I'll get bored, and maybe even help you out a little bit

[Keitaro004]

Thanks for the links. I think I'll use a couple of hours on visiting those sites.

as I said, I tend not to bookmark much, so this isn't much of a list, to be honest, but here's some LH sites I've found handy on my travels round the net
