Motto To LOVE-Ru

I personally love ''To LOVE-Ru'' and the new Motto To LOVE-Ru. In the first season it's a story about the girl called Lala, which apparently met Yuuki Rito in the washroom. Lala wants to get married to Yuuki due to his kindness from saving her multiple times. However, Motto To LOVE-Ru gets more interesting. They add numerous random scenes per episode. It really isn't a story that relates to each episode, but it's a different way of telling the story. I'm reading the manga on a daily basic. So far it kind of matches up, but not a lot. I recommend this type of anime ... to people that like ecchi, romance, and comedy.

Story (8/10)
Each story has a new problem towards nearly all the characters in the story. The story is getting more into the comedy section, such as when Yuuki is turned into a dog, because Lala inventions. He also had to lick every part of Haruna's body, because Haruna's dog said so! (cough even a dog is perverted). Yuuki in season two is more developed and more mature then he was in season one. Yuuki quoted, ''The most important thing is not the outside, but the inside''. (Cough that's what she said xD), sounds wrong at first but he is more kind, and generous towards the girls now in season two. I also like how Golden Darkness or (aka) Yami! is developing feelings toward Yuuki. Even though she has a mission to kill him, she is seeing how good of a person Yuuki is. Overall the story is made for comedy, so far not a lot of intense or serious episodes/scenes. So far I'm more interested how the relationship between Yuuki and Lala develops.
-Yami Forever!-


Art (9/10)
The art was a lot better then the first season when i compared both. The color and the design was nearly perfect, except for the white blocking. The white blocking or white flash is used for blocking the parts of the story where its too Ecchi or perverted. If they could take out that white flash, then i would of gave the art 10/10, and it would make a lot of people happy. Overall i though art was well done.

Character (10/10)
Most characters in season one changed either physically or mentally. Lala is getting more out of hands, using her inventions and making them. Yami is now not that aggressive as she was in season one. She is more kind and is trying new things, also Yami is maybe.. Liking Yuuki to a certain degree. I think Yami has a crush on Yuuki Rito, because she usually blushes when shes near him or when his helping her. Haruna and Yui is developing feeling for Yuuki. Such as, when Yui was sick, Yuuki came to deliver some paperwork, but there stay was longer then expected. Haruna is showing more that she likes Yuuki, but she really hasn't confess to him yet in season two. Overall i like how the characters are much different from season one, but not too different. They added some changes that i personally love.

Enjoyment (10/10)
I enjoyed season one, but season two is where the action and comedy steps in. It makes me laugh much more then usually, also there is more ecchi scenes in season two which adds some kick! I'm also enjoying how each character is starting to develop a feeling towards Yuuki Rito. I personally enjoyed the first eight episodes so far and hope it gets better forward. Why i watch Motto To LOVE-Ru is because of Golden Darkness/Yami, because shes so CUTE! and starting to have feelings toward Yuuki!.

My Dislikes and Cons
My dislikes for Motto to LOVE-Ru is waiting for the new episodes.

I hope you enjoy this review :)

Motto To LOVE-Ru

WOOOOW, okay. If you’re interested in watching the To LOVE-Ru series, skip the first season and start with Motto To LOVE-Ru instead. I know I know, why in the world would I say this when I thought that To LOVE-Ru was a pretty good first season? Well the answer is mega simple; To LOVE-Ru ends in a way that lets Motto start off in a very much “let’s start all over” again sort of way. It’s ecchier/lewder, the art style is changed/upgraded to match the To LOVE-Ru ecchi aspects and it’s a huge over haul. Sure, it may take a while to ... get used to the characters, since there is a ton of girls to remember, but honestly, starting with Motto is far far far better. It’s not just art that changed too; the way the episodes are shown has changed as well. Instead of being forced to watch a 23 minute episode of sometimes archaic and rather ridiculous scenarios, Motto To LOVE-Ru employs a new tactic, each episode (except for the last one) is cut into 5-9 minute chunks; what this means is that in a 23 minute episode, we the viewers, are able to watch 3 different plots/stories/scenes/thing…. It works so unbelievably well; since the biggest issue I had with To LOVE-Ru (even if I didn’t mention it) was how dragged out some episodes were, especially since To LOVE-Ru was 2-cour.

Motto To LOVE-Ru takes what To LOVE-Ru did really well in and makes it a whole ton better, it also fixes all the issues I had with the first season. If you really like the older art style (I know I liked it a ton), you can give To LOVE-Ru a watch, but aside from knowing who’s who, you’re not missing much by skipping the first season, that’s my honest opinion.

Motto starts off a little later in time after To LOVE-Ru ended and the first episode, the first 10 seconds, really sets off with a “Hey you, yeah…you, you’re watching this for lewd ecchi goodness, don’t forget that”. Momo, Lala’s younger sister is in Yuuki’s bed and her head is near his crotch, so uhm, yeah it’s the perfect way to introduce everyone back into the To LOVE-Ru universe. Because of the episodic changes, Motto actually has 36 “episodes” and each episode is executed perfectly. To LOVE-Ru did a poor job giving meaning to the girls, Motto fixes this big time. Each girl gets at least one “episode” of exposition, I’d honestly say most get around 2 and then some. This makes it a lot easier to understand why they like Yuuki to begin with and that’s huge, giving characters a reason is something all anime should strive for, even if it’s a shameless ecchi anime. Yami, Mikan, Saki, Kotegawa, Oshizu, Lala, Haruna, Momo, Nana, Run, Celine, they all have episodes dedicated to them and their feelings, their likes and it’s incredible. Of that entire list, Celine, Momo and Nana are new to To LOVE-Ru; Celine is a super cute sunflower child that Lala gave to Yuuki on his birthday (from the OVA if you paid attention), every time she’s involved in an episode, hilarity ensues and she’s just too adorable!, Nana and Momo are Lala’s imouto, running away from the planet Deviluke, they live with Lala, Mikan and Yuuki. Momo has some of the best episodes in this entire anime and Nana eventually grows to like Yuuki, as additions to the cast, they’re fantastic and entirely lovable

Motto: to-LOVE-ru
Finally, the much awaited sequel to a show that hundreds if not thousands demanded have a sequel. Oh, when the OVA came out, that was not enough. The cries of the people rang in the ears of the producers, who then had to oblige. At last: a sequel that’s a sequel. They’ve kept us waiting long enough, right? But wait…is THIS what I’ve been waiting for?

Story:
What story? So far, all it is is a continuation of the first season. Not a sequel. Just an OVA that they named all fancy and stuff. There’re really no plot (at least none seen yet ). At the ... very least, the first season had a story that it tried to follow, and I say tried because there were so many arcs and so many sub plots that you kind of lost sight of what the point was – it started to look like just a slice of life genre, and you forgot that she was a big important person on Deviluke and that he was her chosen mate and that they were supposed to rule the galaxy. But, it did end on a good note. At least, that’s what I think. I’ve really been looking forward to this second season but so far I am thoroughly disappointed.

Art:
The artistic value went up slightly. I can’t say that it was a big change, but it was enough for you to notice. The only thing that’s slightly bothering me is the lighting issue. I’ve been watching this on animeseason, and every time there’s a panty shot, it’s either covered by light of dark. AND THIS IS PISSING ME OFF. Sure, coincidence that hair is directly over the nipple, fine. But these supposed “glares” on your view come out of freaking nowhere. It’s probably not the producers or directors fault or anything, but this is a dent in the art. Those shots are supposed to be there so that you can see what the character is seeing (sometimes).

Sound:
I’ll update this later, because I have a feeling they’re going to change the ending theme.

Characters:
Lala has become even more bubbly then before. She’s also become sweeter, and the faces she makes are often priceless. All the ladies of the show are back and you can count on the fact that they’re proportions are just as big if not bigger than it was in the first season. You also meet Momo and Nana.
If you read the manga (before all the manga sites got scared of posting it), then you know these characters and you’ll probably be pleasantly surprised by what you’re going to get.

Enjoyment:
So far, through all the fan service and nonsense that they’re throwing at the viewer, I can’t say that I’m not enjoying it. I’m not particularly ecstatic either, and I probably won’t be if I don’t see a plot or focus point soon. Though I like it, all it is so far is fan service. And the update will change the entire outcome of the review depending on whether or not I see a plot or definitive point to the show.

Faults:
You’re probably tired of hearing me say this, but I cannot get over the fact that the show has NO POINT. I’m watching it because I figured it would jump right back to where it left off: what happens with the earth, and what’s going on with Rito and how he’s coping with everything. But, this second series acts almost as if the ending events of the first didn’t matter. Sure, Rito remembers everything, but he doesn’t seem at all affected by it. I’d imagine that he would still be having a hard time accepting the fact that the earth was almost obliterated thanks to him and the fact that he will probably still end up ruling the universe someday if lala stays with him any longer. It just doesn’t follow the personalities that the characters had in the first season.

Overall:
Overall, I just can’t wait for the season to finish. That’s about it. From here on is what will make or break this anime. I’ve pretty much gone through 7 episodes of fan service that should have been in the OVA, and now I’m ready for some more action, and I want a plot.

To love ru or not to love ru? That is the question. Being the first ecchi ever watched, and one of the first 10 anime in general, it held a certain place in my heart as i was exposed to the world of this genre. Captivated by that new experience I remembered it when i saw that a second season was airing. So i tested the waters of the sequel to something that had remained untouchable for so long.

Expectation: 7
Episode Scores: -,-,-,-, 7, 6, 7, 8, 7, 7, 9, 7
Actual: 7 (Good)

Half as long as the first season, and having a heck lot more material ... to work for it is obvious which was superior. I had read the manga, mindlessly mind you, and they picked only the best chapters; or rather they picked the top 36. Divided into 3 parts per episode it stays true to its wacky random antics and everyone gets their fair share of trouble. I mean literally everyone, because they put effort into spliting the air time evenly with all the characters. The majority of the comedy is still dependant on ecchi humor and slapstick.

However due to the true comedy format of short segments, there was not that much character development at all. Despite some good scenes, the relationships stayed relatively unchanged and it left me sort of disappointed. It might of been my foolishness in expecting a couple to form when i watched the first season, but i regained that hope only to be shattered yet again.

Motto to love-ru gives just that, more to love-ru. It is slightly better than the first season due to it being condensed into only the best parts, but that can only improve it so much.

The second installment of the To Love-Ru series, I can at least say Motto To Love-Ru was better than the first series. If you were disappointed by the first one, have some hope for this one is much improved.

Story: 6/10
Motto To Love-Ru adapts the same kind of storytelling that the first one used: a bunch of random filler episodes that don't have that much plot movement. The difference this time is the producers distinctly tell you that each episode is stand-alone (one 24 min ep is actually three mini-eps that are unrelated, but all have their own titles), which gives the audience a sense ... that they are about to witness a casual 8 minute mini-episode that serves only comedic purposes. This small detail of simply naming each mini-episode seems trivial, but it really sets up the relaxed feel which the first one did not have. That being said, again there is not much plot movement with each episode, and you could watch the episodes in random order and not miss much. But because you start each episode with the knowledge that it's not going to be serious and is going to be more like a comedy sketch, it's a vastly different feel when you watch it.
But while it was an improvement from the first show, it still wasn't a "good" story if we're speaking in terms of all anime out there because it still follows the format of having random filler episodes rather than telling a longer and more well-developed story.

Art: 10/10
The first thing you'll probably notice is the huge improvement in art, so congrats to the studio for being able to provide better animation! No complaints here.

Sound: 10/10
I liked the opening for the first one and I liked it for this one too. No complaints for any of the sounds during the show either.

Character: 7/10
I think that Motto To Love-Ru really tried to focus on character development in this second installment, and while they do a pretty good job of it, it sacrifices the development of Rito and Lala, a relationship that I enjoyed watching in the first series. Instead, all the other characters in his harem are further developed, but if you're a fan of Rito x ______(someone other than Lala), then Motto To Love-Ru will be pretty enjoyable for you since minor characters like Kotegawa, Yami, and Nana reveal what they truly think about Rito. Like I said, this means Rito and Lala don't really have much improvement in their relationship until the very last few episodes, so this is more of a personal opinion I have about character development. Overall, their goal was to evenly develop all of the other characters since the first show focused so much on Rito and Lala, and they definitely achieved it here.

Enjoyment: 8/10
I actually did enjoy this one a lot more than the first one since I could start each episode knowing that it was a comedy and actually laugh at some of the scenes. It's a comedy, which is meant to be relaxing and humorous, and that's what this show did.

Overall: 7/10
A clear improvement from the first show, but still not a very strong anime. It didn't have any glaringly bad aspects, but also not much creative and new content either that you haven't seen in other shows. For To Love-Ru fans, however, who have seen the first one, it should be a relief to watch a sequel that is much better.

Motto to love ru, i think is a really good well made anime. This anime gives you exactly what it says it will give you. There are no surprises.
I dont think this anime is a masterpiece and is not one that gives you like crazy feelings that you want to cry.
No, this anime isnt like that. This anime is one of those animes that it just fun to watch and makes you feel really good inside and while you watch it you will smile.

Art- (9) The art in this anime is perfect this kind of animation suits the anime itself perfectly also which you will ... notice as you watch

Characters - (8) The characters are great. There is basically every type of character in this anime from the clueless happy one to the devious but good at heart one.

Story - (8) The story is very unique and original, I definitely have never seen an anime like this one before so I would give it a(9), but because i favor animes with romance and action with some comedy thrown in this gets an (8)

Overall if you look at the genres of this anime and you happen to like them, then you will most definitely enjoy this anime as i did. What the genres tell you that you will get in the anime are exactly what you will get.
I definitely recommend this anime to all people.

To love ru and mottoe to love ru i one of the most funniest ecchi and romance ive seen. Girls just keeps piling up on the main protagonists(luck Ba**tard). Hope the harem kees going.

I really enjoyed the first TL-R series, this one was better for a number of reasons. First was that, unlike the first series, Motto TL-R followed closely to the manga, without putting additional plot points. Each episode is split into 3 sub-episodes, with each of those covering a particular chapter from the manga; for the most part the sub-episodes are actually named after the chapters on which they're based with a few notable exceptions--more about this at a later time.

The major liberty taken from the ... manga was the use of the entire cast from the start. This wasn't necessarily an issue; however; it took some 162 chapters of the manga to get Yuuki's entire harem assembled. Most character explanations and backgrounds are taken care of in the first sub-episode but done briefly (From the Beginning) through exposition. It is assumed that most viewers of the anime are already familiar with the basics of the TL-R universe, and the series serves to fill in gaps that have been left out by the first series. Also notable is that the chapter order bears no real relation with the order of the episodes; characters are sometimes added as needed, but seamlessly.

The reason this works is that the chapters used for the anime were more the side-stories and not in the major plot arc; for example, no appearance of King Deviluke and Zastin only shows up briefly once or twice of the manga. The only real arc in the series as a whole is the developing friendship/crush/romance between Mikan and Yami, dealt with in several episodes. Yui's feelings for Rito are given some multi-episode treatment as well; the Haruna/Lala/Rito triangle is taken as obvious (to the viewer) from the start.

I enjoyed the art style and the animation was good as well. It had great scenes of humor which I really enjoyed. I was a fan of the original series like I mentioned.

The final episode is the final four chapters of the manga, encompassing the "I Love You" story arc, and ends with the same hilarious nonsense as the manga. And this leaves space for more series in the future. Hopefully...

Motto To Love-Ru is the sequel to the first season of To Love-Ru. If you have not figured that out then you just fell down a cliff.

Since this is the second season which was dearly needed to help the first one, I was caught a bit off guard because the first season had much intail with the story while this season was more along the lines of random adventures that you could see in Hayate no Gotoku. But even though this season was more of a circle jerk of different stories with each episode containing 3 different stories, I was fairly ... entertained. If you are into that type of romance then by all means watch it. But if you are looking more for the continuation of the story, then I would say don't really go a watch it.

I was able to find this anime uncensored so this added to the value a bit of enjoyment since I am a firm believer of not censoring things. If you are squeemish to nudity then there is a censored version.

This review was quite short but, eh who cares. Till Next Time.

Well as you probly know motto to LOVE-ru is the sequel To LOVE-ru. They are very alike in alot of aspects but if your looking for more LOLs, ROFLs, and LMAOs then your probly looking for this. With the new season they step up there game by making it much funnier and (not exhilarated) much more perverted i will bet you any amount of money people will wait on the uncensored version for this one. ;)

O K first off...

Story:9
When you think about it there is not really plot or story to it, its mostly just rito getting himself into hopeless situations and getting beat up ... afterwards xD There was defiantly more plot in the first season but this one with make you LOL so hard you won't care.

Art: 9
Ok, with motto to love-ru they have a whole new way of drawing the characters they are draw completely different (but of course you can who the old characters are). I like the art better than the last one its modern but they do have alot of animation on the chest area if your into that. e.e

Sound:8
Not much to rate on sound cause they don't use sound effects alot alot but opening i was fond of and the ending was pretty good too.

Characters:10
still the funny as ever characters from to love-ru and more such as lala's sisters Nana, and Momo, and also Celine

Enjoyment:9
Very enjoyable and very funny, since theres no main story your just thinking what could happen next and how worse could rito's life could get.

Overall:9
Great anime if you like comedy, harem, and ecchi

What can I say about this season that I didn't with the first one, now this one apparently is the first season to follow the manga. But to people who haven't read the manga, this new season didn't feel any different from the first. Motto was just as fun as the first season (only shorter) but some of the plot holes, like how Celina came into the show in the first place aren't really explained. Overall, this is a fun watch and I recommend it to anyone who likes a good romantic comedy.

I've always been a fan of the harem genre, all the way back to Love Hina. Though for me it stands between safe for work and not safe for work. I tend to dislike the ones inbetween, where semi nudity is bigger. This cause I like to focus on either my taste for normal romance or the ecchi side of harem.

For me, what devides the Harem genre and is keen to it's enjoyment or not, is two golden rules with different headtopic whether you are a boy or a girl watching the show.

1) Fall in love with the girls (boys)or
... like the girls (Girl).
The more girls the audience falls in love with, the better the harem series.

2) Make the watcher fall in love with the boy (girl)
or understand why the guy gets girls to fall in love with him (boy)

So is Motto to Love-ru Darkness, or well the whole series worth watching?
Why certainly yes.

Because of the depth of the cast, the almost perfect voice cast you tend to fall in love with the characters. You appreciate their different types, personalities and want the lead to marry em all. This usually is broken up by the lead having to take the choice of whether to go for the harem ending or choose one. I like both choices, but tend to favor the harem ending, which Love-Ru is definitely going for. Whether Yuuki Rito, the smoothtalker of all harem kings will suceed? We'll just have to wait and see I guess.

The art is definitely gorgeous, and the girls look very beautiful, with some nice animated fight scenes too boot.

A worthwhile watch if you are interested in the harem genre.

Enjoy.

For those who have seen the first season and felt that it had very little to do with the actual story and in fact was just a filler season. This sequel to that disappointing season happens to be much more enjoyable.

Reluctant at first, i decided to give this sequel a shot since i hadnt got what i wanted from the first season. Motto To LOVE-Ru follows chapters from the actual manga and brings to the table what the first season never did, entertainment. Even after the recycled gags and the archetypal characters, it reminds us why harem/comedy animes are quite popular. Funny characters getting ... into awkward situations which we can all see coming like psychics but even if its not innovative its still something that will put a smile to your face.

For those of you who want to see more material from the manga in the anime, this season shouldnt disappoint. No more pulling out random episodes from thin air, these episodes take from material that actually existed in the manga and ends up being much more enjoyable and a much better adaptation of the manga even if the sequence of the anime is not following the manga in a linear fashion.

I never write reviews for shows until I saw the anime Motto to Love Ru. I wasn't a big fan of the first season, so it was a surprise that I loved this season. Now with other ecchi rom com animes like Kiss x sis, the shows would usually showcase scenarios like girl characters trying to get in the male protagonist's pants or something like that. Not saying that these animes are bad, but what makes Motto To Love Ru different and unique is that the scenarios featured are fun, unique, and creative! I was watching these episodes thinking to myself what kind of a ... madman is able to come up with something like this. This isn't really a slice of life anime, but this is how slice of life animes should be done. 10/10

A solid sequel season that focuses on its strengths, random comedy and pleasing art.

This is the second season of To-Love-Ru, but its a lot more like the OVA series than the first season. Rather than each episode having a single story, each episode is composed of three smaller faster paced stories. This, as it did with the OVA, works out well because the actual plots were never that deep in the first place and barely had any significance, so even if they're rushed through it isn't an issue.  The benefit of doing so is that it allows them to put in a lot more comedy ... and craziness, which is what actually makes the series enjoyable. I will also note though that in addition to the stories being better told due to better pacing, it also felt like the quality was better overall. The improved pacing also makes the slow and steady character development which like the first series is slow to the point of feeling nonexistant in each individual episode, feel much faster overall, though still slow but to a degree it didn't feel like much of an issue. Another thing to note, is that this is a sequel to the OVAs, which skipped over portions of the story. Hence, there are still a bunch of things that weren't explained or don't make sense, but for the most part the story isn't that important so it doesn't matter that much. The last ending was the only episode that had a drawn out story, but as a one off it worked pretty well and was a solid way to end things, even if it was kind of halfhearted with it.

The art and animation are excellent and a major step up above the first season. The art style was also more consistently solid and didn't have a bunch of random bad looking out of place designs. The soundtrack wasn't particularly memorable. The OP and ED were both solid in terms of audio and visuals.

I enjoyed the first season of "To Love-Ru", however it did lack a certain punch (on the lewder side of things), and while the animation was good, it didn't age too well. "Motto To Love-Ru" served as a perfect restart button for the series, they upped the animation, improved the story, fleshed out the characters (Momo for life), and concentrated a lot more on the ecchi aspect. I also liked the fact that during this season there was a lot more focus on the story, and it progressed constantly during the season; on the first season of "To Love-Ru" the show took a more "episodic" ... aspect, while the story did progress, each episode felt like it's own thing. Overall I thouroughly enjoyed the show, although it's nothing revolutionary when it comes to lewd anime, it does have it's charm.

ENJOYMENT - 8

Motto To LOVE-Ru is a show that brings in the goodness of fanservice at your doorstep just like the first season, except it's even better! With new characters and perspective on previous ones, there is a guarantee for enjoyment to blossom at each episode.

Previously on To LOVE-Ru. Episodes came in like a filler trainwreck and the cargoes that toppled out were too heavy to really be enjoyable to carry. I mean, the contents inside were too similar, so there really was no point in carrying them anyways! That's my quite peculiar analogy on what I ... felt during the first season, but it gets the point across. And now, the curtains unveiled in this season and oh boy was that a welcomed surprise. How and why was it better? First thing would be the structure of the episodes. Rather than dragging the length out with one episodic story, they decided to put in three mini stories in each episode. The new structure helped in giving the diversity which was lacking in the first season. It paved way to much-needed focus on the cast of girls, particularly with the beloved golden assasin and the disciplinary tsundere. What comes out of that was progression on the romance life of many girls, along with the development of their personality showcasing the sides they never truly shown before. The culmination of each girl's differing personalities added up into many fun and silly situations that made them so likable and made me laugh. Though all that said, this season still came with issues. Some comedy were not funny and even though it's an ecchi, the dragged on fanservice may get excessive at times. But while there was a bit of boredom here and there mostly due to lesser-than-previous-season repetition, their entertaining pureness overweighed most of these issues. Main boy Rito went through so much ever since he became unlucky that I got to hand it to him for dealing with everything. Keep up the good work!

And with that out of the way, we do a hop and a skip to the visuals of the anime! At first glance, the difference was definitely there if we compare it to To LOVE-Ru. Just like how Lala can transform her clothes with the help of Peke, the anime also did a transformation in its art style. The biggest difference was that the brightness of the colors were whitewashed so some slight color were lost there. It took a bit of time to get used but in the end, I really liked how it looked. In a way it's an upgrade, especially when the lines still felt refined and the animation was quite normal and consistent. There was a couple of noticeable ones where the art was amplified, especially in the more significant scenes that appeared throughout the show. As for the character designs, no change in there and they all looked youthfully cute (except the principal). Ecchi scenes were still as exaggerated as ever with more gloss to define the curves, so nothing really new there. When the characters goes through all sorts of havoc, they came in with a bunch of expressions and of course the white-eyed one that's really common in comedic anime was no exception. From happiness to clumsiness, whatever face they decided to put on, it placed a smile on my face. Especially with that Celine. Her non-stop smiles were too contagious. Most scenes were blasted with loudness and energy radiating out of the girls. Definitely can't see Rito taking a break with that going on in his life. Cheerful soundtracks complemented with the tone and the character's voice acting were done well, capturing the charmingness of each character.

Motto To LOVE-Ru is simply a step up to the previous season. It's an improvement on pretty much all aspect, and that's a good thing because better enjoyment comes out of better quality. If To LOVE-Ru is an enjoyment that reaches the Moon, then this one had enough fun comedy, romance, and personality to reach Mars. This journey of harem and ecchi is awaiting you!

Motto To LOVE-Ru is a spin-off of the To LOVE-Ru series.

If you're a To LOVE-Ru fan, this is going to deliver.

Story - 8: The story(ies) are really just miniature plots in each episode. Most of them don't connect to each other in any specific ways. The story really strays from the fact that Yuuki is dealing with aliens and really everyone's treated more like regular humans. Most of these episodes are centered around school life and funny mishaps that make Yuuki get into trouble. I really liked the small plots, but it did go away from the main storyline from the original series.

Art- 9: Great ... art and animation. Nothing significantly different from the other seasons.

Sound - 8: Good sound. Nothing significantly different from the other seasons.

Characters - 9: You really learn about the characters in a relaxed way in this series. In general they're all the same as before. They're all lovable and have great personalities that fit the story.

Enjoyment - 9: I liked the shows all throughout the series. There were a few awkward or boring plots but in general they're all great.

Overall - 9: Great in general. I would recommend this if you enjoyed something like Love Hina or the previous seasons.

I'll say this right away. Motto To Love-Ru is a massive improvement compared to To Love-Ru. To be fair, To Love-Ru was the first season of the anime, and with that series' success, I suppose it's only natural for the next season to have much higher quality all around!

Story: MTLR has a lot of different little scenes packed into each episode, but the good thing is, at least there's some continuation between them. At times, it feels like some scenes should have gone longer but it doesn't really matter. It was a great show.

Art: A very significant improvement, the art in MTLR compared to TLR ... is definitely quite noticeable. Character faces have more detail, hair has more detail, the environment is much more detailed. I had to pause several times just to be able to enjoy the hilarious character expressions!

Sound: I think the sound is a lot calmer in this series? I found that TLR's sound, such as music, was often much too fast-paced. It's still pretty fast paced in MTLR but I feel the sound's a bit better this season.

Characters: Another major improvement was the characters. Somehow, in just twelve episodes, a lot of the series' characters actually had quite a bit of development and interesting scenes. Save for a few though. I like how much deeper we get to understand characters like Yumi, Katagawa, Momo, Nana, and Run. It goes without saying there's a lot of focus on Haruna, Yuuki, and Lala!

Enjoyment: At times I felt teary eyed due to the romance, which is a good thing. At other times, I couldn't stop laughing!

Overall: Absolutely hilarious, and the show has definitely gotten a lot better. Can't wait to see what happens next!

When it comes to an anime like this, you know that it's going to be filled with ecchi and perverted moments galore. But what you didn't know is that this anime, aside from other ones just like this, actually has good, enjoyable characters with a good backstory.

This is basically a continuation from where we left off in the OVAs'. Rito is still being accused of being the "accidental pervert" that he is. And the funny gags that are in just about every episode are even more so, but the question is. WHY does this anime deserve the score I gave.

Like I said before, this ... series has a good backstory and a ton of characters that make up for it. But is it at all justified? Let me elaborate a bit deeper. What you will get about 60% of the time will be accidental perverted moments including Rito and an enraged girl who beats the hell out of him for his "accidental" accident. The other 40% of the time you will get serious moments that sort-of tie in with the plot for the moment. Most episodes are filled with filler, and while that's not a bad thing, if you like a serious story with extremely intricate characters and a evolving backstory, then this anime is NOT for you. Let me repeat, this anime does NOT contain any extreme intricate characters or plot that will make your eye balls pop out from being dazzled. This anime is purely for the "fun" of being a good anime with a lot of laughs.

The sound and art of this one are, meh. They're good enough to enjoy in the moment, but there are no visuals that captured my eyes and made me say wow. And I'm not completely sure, this may just be me, but the characters look slightly different in this series than in their older predecessors. The OP is alright, not too catchy, but does stick in your head for a bit.

Like I said before, the characters are definitely a good reason to keep watching this. Most of them are sort-of one-dimensional, but they all add to the funny moments to keep the show as interesting as it is. I must admit, the most interesting character in this anime is Yui Kotegawa. She may be the most uptight character in the show, but she has some dynamic. I would state the rest of the characters, but there are so many so I'll just say this. They are all good in their own ways. However, the lot of the main characters are definitely the most interesting.

So like I've said before, if you come to this anime expecting outstanding characters and a dynamic story, well you're dreaming. You will, for the most part, be laughing and maybe feeling a bit uncomfortable as you're put in the shoes of Mr. Rito a LOT when he get's himself into trouble. But for the most part, this anime is very entertaining but has a bit of filler that may take you away from what we're ultimately trying to get at. I recommend you give this one a watch.
