There is no difference in the way they wrote it. Complete should mean Complete no matter how they word it. Funimation sure has a strange interpretation of what COMPLETE means then. It's like saying they're copy of Ikki Tousen is complete... It isn't but they marked it as such.
Now maybe if they MEANT the TV series, then I'd see no reason to complain, but they didn't. They said SERIES. Series means ALL of the show and NOT just one piece of it. Am I being clear now? What they did was NOT the whole series. Not including the Specials means they sold only part of what they promised which they did and it looks like for all intents and purposes intend to do for the interim which is NOT acceptable. So please PLEASE release them.. Even Bandai didn't pull this crap on people so why is Funi?

If this is complete series, series should mean everything. If they said "complete TV series", they that would make sense but because it said "complete series" but everything is not complete (the specials & OVAs aren't released), they might as well call it "complete TV series". But you know what, I'm going to ask them in their Q&A session to rescues Love Hina Again, release the specials, and re-release the WHOLE series with a re-dub (because of the dub of the TV series & specials being poor, and the OVAs an eldritch abomination of a dub).

Release the Spring and Christmas Specials AT LEAST for crying out loud! I WANT THOSE! Just do what Bandai did and release them separately, just don't make people pay an arm and a leg for them. THAT is where Bandai failed.
If you want to do them together, do it $30 tops. Don't be like Bandai and charge $50 for 3 OAVs. That was sick and wrong. I want all of them okay? There I said it! I'll even buy the set again if I have to, but I WANT the whole thing! Not just part of it!
And BTW, which part didn't sell well, huh? You don't put something on the classic line if it doesn't sell, right? Love Hina's on there.

Ah. Well, they should still release the other two regardless. Why don't they think Again won't get them any money? This is Love Hina we're talking about here! ~_~ So what, they're just going to play a Disney and sit on the Specials until they lapse? Is that it? Because that's pretty much what they're doing for Only Yesterday and I can Hear the Sea/Ocean Waves. Having never seen them, I guess I wouldn't know but that's still no excuse for not releasing the others when they DO have THOSE.
Releasing the Specials (and OVAs if they finally get them) would be easy since they could just put them on another disc within the next re-release (if possible).

Funimation's release of Love Hina can't be complete without the Specials released and the OVAs picked up (not to mention, re-dubbed because the dub of the series was poor, especially the OVAs, which was an eldritch abomination of a dub). You know what, I'm going to ask Funi at the Industry Panel at AX 2012 about getting the OVAs, releasing the Specials, and re-releasing it with a new & much better dub and more extras.
@Domayv: Please do... This is maddening that we STILL don't have the specials when we know they already have access to MOST of them already and the only one they don't seem to right now is Again... but yeah, try to see if they'll ask them if they'll allow them to even work on a new dub since Bandai's was so bad. Maybe if they can actually GET Again... again, we might actually be able to have them as a set. I hate to pull a Bandai on the set but I REALLY want these! Hey, wasn't there also supposed to be an official ending apart from Again supposedly in Japan? Did that actually get animated or is it only in manga form? Either way, I'd like to see that get released over here too, please!
