You said it yourself there is a lot of nudity, and it deals with a strange incestuous (sp) relationship that Keitaro's sister wants to have with her brother. In theatres lots of nudity would get a movie an R rating, so why should an OVA with lots of nudity not get a mature rating. Also I see that it's your first post, but you might want to use a bit better grammar, and better spelling, it would make your post much easier to read.

Hmm... I have to say I disagree with that rating also. Kanako is not even Keitaro's real sister, just an adoptive one, and this kind of situation has been very common in anime as of late (heck, Da Capo deals with the exact same thing, except it even has a first-cousin relationship, and the rating there is OC)

As for the nudity, it's undetailed and for most parts, not done in a sexual manner. Ikkitoussen and Green Green, both rated Teenagers, have far worse nudity and even more sexual references. So really, I don't think Love Hina Again deserves a Mature rating, unless you change the ratings for all those other shows I mentioned (and I have many many more that are worse than LHA that I can mention)

I don't understand either why it was rated mature. I haven't seen it, but I cannot imagine Love Hina EVER treading into territory that should be reserved to mature audiences. Ungodly amounts of fanservice does makes the age appropriateness "mature" but rather of "teenager" level, and I've changed it so.

I also disagree with the "mature" rating. I've seen the whole thing, and I only recall some fan service with a lot of cleavage and a few fanny flashes. But other than that, I don't understand. Confused
