So Ren/Run comes out. Overall I was disappointed in the episode. They just seemed to drag out his/her introduction alot.

Whoa! I fell asleep! really, between the boxing match and the end - nemui shimasu. After reading your comments, I guess I don't need to rewatch. Hey! Guess what?!? It was BETTER with tentacles!?!?

I loved this episode, probably because of the whole Rocky thing they had going.

Pretty Meh. Felt like they spend this episode to make the gender change joke at the end funnier. But they failed. It wasn't funny at all.

Awesome episode, for a while I was afraid we wouldn't get our fanservice but then we got the shower scenes and ring girls. Good job.

Although I found all the references to Rocky, Karate Kid, etc amusing, this was the worst episode so far. It was kind of boring actually.

wow, I'm completely stunned at how they stretched out Ren's intro. And next episode they are introducing Yui. Was it that order in the manga, not that I mind since Yui is <3

Even though the episode as a whole was way too stretched out, I love the part when Ren was punching the meat and said, "Red meat. Just meat." :P

And I see a lot of people saying they didn't like this episode, but this show is retarded anyway.

I found the Rocky parts indulgent. I.e. the anime artists were really talented and they felt a need to show off for themselves instead of trying to entertain the audience. I can't blame them - they must get bored with drawing ecchi high school supermodels all the time.

I laughed at the Karate Kid and the ending fight, rounds 5 to 15, though.

Can't believe Ren got his own awesome Rocky montage. It dragged on way too long though.

Didn't expect him to transform into a girl at the end too, damn sexy traps. I completely forgot about her until the end.

The first 5-6 minutes were pretty funny, but they just dragged this scenario out way to much. It just got corny that's all I have to say.

^ My thoughts exactly.

Now I can say this is one bad episode. Even I had trouble keeping on with it. Roundabout and pointless for the show and characters in general.

The redeeming qualities were those ripped cliches (Rocky and Karate Kid) and the fan service.
Even then, we didn't get a lot of that. Just "How can I be a man, boo hoo hoo." stuff.

This is the first time I've ever vented about a bad episode. To-LOVE-Ru episode 7 set a record in my personal anime watching history.

Well, at the very least we can enjoy the OP and ending. The artwork still gets me every time.

Well this episode was a strangely good criticism of masculinity.

Not sure why people are complaining about "the point" in an ecchi romantic comedy though.
