To-LOVE-Ru

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.

Thank you for reading my review. Feedback would be greatly appreciated. Hope this helped. read more

To Love Ru is your typical fanservice fare. If you've seen any anime, you've seen To Love Ru.

If you scanned through a 1970s edition of Playboy that has been weather beaten (as well as beaten in other ways), you've seen To Love Ru. If you ever stopped to wipe your ass and look into the toilet bowl to see what's inside it after a dump, you've seen To Love Ru.

Typical big-boobied art colourful enough to distract anyone that is capable of one brain function at a time. Le sigh.

The characters are frustrating and retarded and it makes me wonder if they drool while they tie their shoelaces in the morning. But silly me--here I go assuming the cast of this moronic anime can tie their shoes with any measure of success! I just wanted to send all the girls back to school so they could learn how to spell or, I dunno, blink and talk at the same time or something.

This was complete balls but not the good kind of balls that I like. Mostly the horrid kinds. I would recommend it to a handful of the MAL population to watch, since this anime seems like punishment enough for them.

As some closing words for this review and some hope for the future of anime:

New To Love Ru when?? Never!

And that's a good thing. read more
