    Well, not quite.

No.. I think not.
 


    My main complaint here is that almost everything you cited that you 
liked about Love Hina were things I thought were really not so amazing.  
It seems to me everyone's going to like different aspects, and what you 
like may not appeal to soomeone else (say, the author) as much.

    Personally, I think that while Keitaro's not offensive as a main 
character, he's really just not very spectacular, either.  I have a hard 
time seeing him with all the positive qualities that you've attributed 
to him; more to me, it seems he was just the ingedient at hand when it 
came time to mix a relatively formulaic episode where the new character 
changes a pre-existing dynamic and everyone comes out of it feeling 
positive.  And if you haven't seen THAT a million times in anime, well....
