Motto To LOVE-Ru

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.

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.

Story (6/10) - One of the first noticeable differences with Motto To LOVE-Ru and its predecessor is that Motto is divided into three little mini-episodes. Does that hinder the story in any way? No, but it doesn't really help the fact that there isn't really an overarching storyline.

Art (7/10) - Another notable difference is the art in Motto. It has a more modern feel (2010) than the prequel series.

Sound (6/10) - I'd say the biggest improvement would be the music. The tone of the intro and outro seemed better than before, as well as the visuals along with it.

Character (8/10) - I feel like the ... main aspect of this series was to develop Rito's feelings and the feelings of those around him.

Enjoyment (7/10) - I enjoyed Motto To LOVE-Ru about as much as I did To LOVE-Ru and the OVAs, and I can't wait to start watching To LOVE-Ru Darkness.

Overall (6.8/10) - Motto To LOVE-Ru is essentially more about character development than anything else. I feel as thought its main purpose was to build up for the third series, To LOVE-Ru Darkness.

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.

While I liked the first season of To Love-RU for the comedy, I found Motto to be lacking. Sure, we get more of the ecchi aspect, but I feel like the writers got lazy with the humor. It's just the same awkward moments over and over. And while the first season at least had somewhat of a continuing story, this season is purely episodic until the last few episodes, even going so far as to split each episode into essentially three episodes. I will point out, however, that the main point of this season seems to be character development, and in that, they succeeded wonderfully. ... The variety of stories is also nice, but there just simply weren't any moments in this season that kept me laughing and laughing as in the first.

I did feel it was absolutely worth the watch; however, prepare to be disappointed if you expect the same quality of writing as in the first season.

Motto to love ru is a continuation of to love ru which released in 2010 and i first watched this show in 2019 and thought it was pretty good. As Writing this it is now march 2022 and there is a foul taste in my mouth so ill go over why there is a foul taste.

I really dislike anime that make the mc pathetic and weak there really is no need for it and personally feel bad for Yuuki Reito. he is constantly being harrased and shat on though out the show. Not to mention lala who is known to throws Yuuki into ... unfair situations that his not his fault. Then to top it off they only care about him in some bs life and death situation. Even his own flesh and blood does not really care about him as seen in one of the episodes when she asks darkness if she is alright when Yuuki is struggling for his life XD.

Now i do admit that there is some funny moments that make this show bareable and that is Saruyama he makes this show so much better with his comedy and to not put up with the bullshit that the girls throw at him and for that i will rewatch it again

ps this is my own personal opinion and i know that loads of people love this show with a passion im not here to say it is bad i just wish Yuuki was more confident in himself and stop taking bs from others
