To LOVE-Ru

Timid 16-year-old Rito Yuuki has yet to profess his love to Haruna Sairenji—a classmate and object of his infatuation since junior high. Sadly, his situation becomes even more challenging when one night, a mysterious, stark-naked girl crash-lands right on top of a bathing Rito.

To add to the confusion, Rito discovers that the girl, Lala Satalin Deviluke, is the crown princess of an alien empire and has run away from her home. Despite her position as the heiress to the most dominant power in the entire galaxy, Lala is surprisingly more than willing to marry the decidedly average Rito in order to avoid an unwanted political marriage.

To LOVE-Ru depicts Rito's daily struggles with the bizarre chaos that begins upon the arrival of Lala. With an evergrowing legion of swooning beauties that continuously foil his attempted confessions to Haruna, To LOVE-Ru is a romantic comedy full of slapstick humor, sexy girls, and outlandishly lewd moments that defy the laws of physics.

Love-Ru is great entertainment "with benefits". The first episode, where a girl from outer space arrives at a random guy's house, didn't completely convince me, but it was a necessary basis on which the creators were able to pack a lot of funny plots and a reasonable main story. Moreover, I was very surprised when, after the more comedic first two seasons, the third one started the story in a new and engaging direction (which I wouldn't have expected from this type of series). I enjoyed Love-Ru overall, although the ending could have been more closed, but not that I was angry. Scanerio-reviewer-kun ends the ... review 😜

Mixed Feelings

the good old ecchi from the 2000s, it had been a long time since I saw one so I remembered this one and the feeling I had is that the anime didn't age very well but it still has a good comedy 😂, Rito is the typical protagonist that makes you want to strangle him because he doesn't have attitude but Lala is too aggressive and carries the anime on her back, each one had their moment to shine but the one who really carries it is Lala, the story could have been divided into 2 seasons because I feel that at a certain point ... the story stagnates and becomes tiring to watch and only near the end does it get back into gear, the animation is the standard of the time nothing to declare, one thing that could have happened is the development of the harem but since there are still the OVAs and the following seasons we'll see what will happen

Not Recommended

Classic ecchi, weak characters, no plot, no music no nothing, if you like grab boobs and so it's your show, if you want to watch a good anime, stay out of this one, only character that is okish is yami.

MC is horrendous, classic good guy who makes all the FC fall for him, totally really retarded.

The art is ok-ish, the only good thing of the anime probably and is not even that good.

FC are just stereotypes with no personality or developement.

If you like boobs and play with your wood this is your anime if you want something decent... just no. As ecchi is ok-ish, if ... you know what I mean.
