Story: The story itself isn't really unique. Guy meets alien girl who stays with him, and a harem to follow. There's not really any plot progression, but the stories are still fun to watch. Some episodes are based on the original manga, while others are original anime stories. Overall, it's a normal fan-service, love comedy.
Animation: Typical XEBEC anime. Nothing special about the animation, though it's decent enough to pass. Some cuts are off proportion, and the coloring is average. Even so, I like the art style more than the manga.
Sound: The BGMis quite fitting for ToLOVE's comedic ecchi atmosphere. The VA's are the usual moe-moe type voices, and I found nothing to complain about. I love the OP and ED songs, and be sure to check out the character songs too.
Characters: Even though most of them are similar to what you see in the majority of harem anime. There should be a character to satisfy those who have come in for moe though.
Enjoyment: Overall, I had fun with this series. Though some episodes were poorly done, the majority of them were still at least somewhat entertaining. I conclude this series by rating it an 8/10 read more

Story: Pretty much all filler. Each episode basically stands alone except the ending and they don't really play off of each other. The series strays way too far from the Manga and doesn't explore the main parts of the Manga where you see many characters develop themselves. I understand that the Manga has stories that end in one chapter and expansion is necessary to make the Anime but they could've handled it better. A similar style to the beginning of Full Metal Panic Fumoffu would've been cool where there were two stories split between an episode. Since chapters for To-Love-Ru are short, that would've been a great direction for this show to take. However, this show's filler made me feel incredibly bored as most of the stories weren't even adapted from the Manga, they were original stories. Only a few episodes were based off the Manga. The ending was disappointing but you can predict that it'll go nowhere anyway. A predictable "plot" and being composed of mostly ecchi scenes gets it a 5. I'll admit that a few of the episodes, maybe five of them I really liked and thought they were well done and funny.
Art: Better than I expected for a series like this, it was pretty consistent for each episode. Nothing looked too horrible to me.
Sound: Nothing in the bgm caught my attention and Opening was just okay. As for the voice acting, I didn't really have a problem with anyone. No one was extremely annoying to listen to, they did a pretty good job here.
Character: I did enjoy watching some of the characters but a lot of them seemed neglected and didn't get much screen time which kind of disappointed me. I know they're side characters but if they're going to show up more than a few times, make them do more than "Oops, you can see my panties" or accidentally get naked. Guess that's how this kind of series is though...
Enjoyment: I finished it, that's a sign that I didn't completely hate it. Most of the episodes made me want to punch my screen though, they were that awful and stupid. So be careful with it.
Overall: I wouldn't mind a second series since they have more material to pull from and I really enjoyed the Manga. It would be great to see certain stories animated. I just did not like how this Anime turned out because despite the Manga being mostly stand alone stories, the creators of this show felt the need to make their own plots for many episodes... There is an Ova airing currently and so far it's been very acceptable to watch. So check that out if you can.
Feedback would be greatly appreciated. Hope this helped. read more

Same crazy setting where main character is stuck with an option of marrying (engaged) another girl or experience destruction. (...)
Both about a guy who is forced into a marriage through a series of crazt events, and both are really funny with lots of comedy and cute girls as lead characters ;3
it is almost the same in both stories there is a guy who find himself forced to marry a girl that he just met...
Seto no Hanayome is a MUCH better version of To-Love Ru. Both shows got similar theme, having the male protagonist get into a marriage that they know nothing about at first. Definitely will make you laugh like no tomorrow.
Both are harems so obviously their are going to be crushes other than the main characters. In To-Love Ru Yukki was forced to be engaged after touching Lala's chest. In Seto, after seeing a mermaid's true form Nagasumi has to choose either marriage or death. Similar stories but Seto no Hanayome is WAYYY funnier.
It's the exact same story with exactly the same characters who just look a little different.
same story line... same... same....
loyal wife is very honor........
Guy is forced to marry a girl that he doesn't know. Girls are a little "strange" - San is a mermaid, Lala is an alien
Both involve a boy in school who get's unwillingly married to a girl who is not human. Both are full of humor and while To-Love-Ru is more provocative, Seto no Hanayome is just as good. To-Love-Ru revolves around aliens and Seto no Hanayome revolves around mermaids.
Very similar. Both series are about a school guy who's going to get married with the girl who is not really human. Extremely funny.

Same kind of Ecchi show, girl over boy, crazy setting from the very start.
An out of this world creature, loving an human earthling boy.
involves a unrealistic girl who likes a human boy...and is packed with some ecchi
An over-the top comedy about a lively girl who goes to great lengths to win the affection of a boy she falls in love with at first sight. Both anime involve school life, weird gadgets/unnatural powers, and lots of crazy fanservice.
The story is pretty similar (but here the number of girls in love is bigger than every anime before lol), very funny anime, of course with a lot of fanservice and gags.
To-Love ru has that classic ecchi taste, and so does Kanokon.
Kanokon involves random hilarious moments and has a few serious relationship times.
While kanokon involves a younger male, To-Love ru has a more teenage feel.
I recommend watching Kanokon first, as I did; then watch To-Love ru.
Either way, I think you will love this series if you were pleased with To-Love ru.
