| i cant see any logic in this crappy ending,this ending was predictable,but i must respond on this. first of all,about "i dont want to hurt you" thing,the fuck? in the end,he will need to make a decision,and someone will get hurt,its unavoidable. secondly,one of the girls you love is going to use a memory erase machine(and no,he cant be sure it wont work),what you do?nothing,absolutely nothing,u gonna give up on her(yes,i see this as giving up on her)because you dont want to make a decision,putting myself in his situation,i would never let lala use this memory machine,and why? first of all,(yes,another one) i wouldnt accept forgeting the good times with her,secondly,it WONT help,its just rejecting the unavoidable. so what would i do? if i love lala,i would request few minutes to talk with haruna and tell her my decision,probably what i would do,cause i prefer lala. if i love haruna,i would tell i cant marry lala,saying that i love lala,but there is someone i love even more(haruna of course) in general,this ending is very unrealistic,i just cant see rito doesnt do anything while lala says she will erase his memory,in short,this ending is shit. |
| So Rito crossing the finish line to the Deviluke ship makes him the greatest man in the universe - unfair much? Lala was right in saying it would be wrong of her to marry Rito without considering his feelings on the matter too but 5 seconds later when she whipped out the memory eraser, she seemed to ignore Rito's opinion completely. It would have been terrible for Lala to live with the old memories of the past if her invention did actually work. I'm glad it didn't. Also, what about Lala's father, did he just fly away after his daughter's stunt? I'm annoyed that it ended the why it did for Haruna too, she'll still be having moments of sexual tension with him without hearing his true feelings. We only progressed slightly with their relationship. I was hoping that one girl would win at the end of this. When I started this show, I really disliked the OP but now I've grown to appreciate it because I know the characters well. I didn't like the first ED but Haruna's ending credits is pure gold and I'd say it was the best thing about this show (alongside with Run). Character-wise, I love them all. I think it's just the adventures they're put in that let's this show down. There were moments which were fantastic like Yami's first appearance but then I can't overlook the fillers either with the magical girl TV show. Those eps were really dreadful. 4/10. I love the mood this show puts me in when I'm thinking about it but it's actually watching it in which the problems arise. In comparison, I've heard better things about the manga so I'll read that. In the mean time, I'll move on to the OVA's because I love being with the characters so much. |
| Boy, was this show disappointing. First few episodes were kinda funny, but the rest were just garbage... Really hope the 2nd season is better than this. 5/10. |
| Time for the next season! :D |
 |
| The ending was fine I guess. Lala invention failed like always. But this time maybe it was for the better. |
 |
| Ehh I give the show a 7. Like others have said a lot of episodes were kinda meh. Which supposedly the manga did better. Why do this? Anyway I liked a lot of characters and others aspects. I think I will probably like the next season more. If not for so many chars I like probably be more of a 6 or so. |
| Nice proper ending, and a funny twist where Lala's invention didn't work but as usual they don't so it's good that no one forgot her in the end, although I'm not sure why she decided to get back to that school after thinking that she wiped everyone's minds. Either way it was nice Yuki almost confession and just the end was quite nice but lets see what the sequel has to offer must be something interesting as well! Good Anime in general a bit to much useless episodes in it but in general quite nice! 8/10 |

| Just finished watching ep 26 . Knowing theres a season 2 , I wasnt surprised they would find a way to make Rito not choose between Sairenji or Lala. The ending was o.k though . Haha Lala's invention failed again!! |
| Ohhhh this series was so fail. Absolutely loved the OP, but in the end it took the generic ecchi/harem setting, tried to hard to be funny, and executed it even worse than usual. I'll give it a 4, because I'm a softie and I'd feel bad if I rated it lower. |
| Lemme smang it girl. |
| Ending was decent, I wouldn't have minded if the marriage went through but whatever. Looking forward to OVAS, and the sequel. |
| i think it would have been way more interesting if they actually married, and haruna was like his mistress. woulda been sick. thug life, girlfriend and a mistress. |
   |
| it would have been better if he got married. I wanted to know where things would end up. |
| lol lol lol nice end seriously.. but that end lol -_- idk what to say.. just 7~ |
| Although there were some really good scenes, this season was overall kind of horrible to be honest, but it would've been half as bad if it was 12-13 episodes long. Too much lame comedy were present, seemingly to appeal to very young audience... I guess I'll take a look at the manga. The only reason i kept driving through the series (anime) was probably the Golden Darkness, or Mikan, same reason why I picked it up.. Well since this is one of the earlier fanservice shows, I'll let it pass. Would have probably dropped it if it was made in >2012. |
| This show sucked in every sense of the word. Rito is undoubtedly a fucking spineless coward. |
 |
| So glad it wasn't an harem ending, just a little bit disappointed because in the end Rito didn't marry Lala. Guessing Rito wants to take their relationship slowly but sure, well that's okay for me, sadly in this episode Run-chan didn't get enough scenes, i want more Run-chan in season 2 ! Overall score 8/10, now onto the next season, hopefully it's better ! |

| exept the ecchi moments..this was a great episode..good ending though..i wonder if rito will marry haruna or lala .. |
| dat dream tho lol |
| ^^^^ When i started watching this show i thought it will be hard task not to drop it, but in fact i had a lot of fun. Humor was pretty good, i loved parody episodes. True, there was quite a lot scenes where i did facepalm asking myself " wtf am i watching", but it was good facepalm xD. Also, why the hell every harem show has most retarded MC? Why they never make MC with some balls ?! :S Well, i hope he will grow a pair next season :) EDIT: Well, he did grow a pair, a pair of boobs. Ahaha. |

| Wow now I can finally see why people hate Rito, he's an indecisive idiot alright. Series started out strong but got pretty mediocre in the end. The last two episodes of plot were rather boring, but the characters were interesting so I give it a 6/10 and hope the sequel will be much better. |
| I prefer that dream ending lol |

I personally like rito, but i do understand why people dislike him, that said i'd suggest watching motto to love ru and to love ru darkness, they are far better than the original series, plus they do expand on some of rito's issues. |
| That was nice. Finally finished to love ru and now the ovas are next. I was scared for a second that lala's invention worked but im glad it didn't. Rito should have married lala... Well it was pretty mature of lala to think about rito's feelings. Wait if everyone's memories were not erased wouldn't earth be destroyed??? Hmmm |

| Ren's gender-bending didn't show up as much as I thought it would. Good thing I read a few reiviews so I wasn't as dissappointed with this season. Hopefully it gets better, TLR darkness is meant to be good, I hope it lives up to its reputation (thats the main reason I put myself through these 26 eps, well that and Zastin & Yami-chan) Anyway bring on the OVAs. |
| still rooting for sairenji! |

| This season's fanservice was disappointingly tamed. I hear the series gets lewder as the seasons pass so can't wait to get to Darkness. 5/10. |
| Well it looks like my thoughts have been already said here by many others. I think the series was a big disappointment. Each episode was just a new gag with no to little development to anything (character development and plot). Also after watching the BD it didn't add much into it, the nipples were barely even seen in bare boobs. Rito is the worst MC, jesus christ his actions were painful to watch. He likes Haruna the whole series showing very little to practically nothing towards Lala which was too annoying to follow. There was wasted potential with Golden Darkness, since her character design is just screaming a main role. Luckily that seems to happen in Darkness. I actually would've preferred if Lala's memory wipe would've worked. That would've made everything much more interesting. But since it didn't work, I feel like everything is just back to square one. + Lala is a great character + Opening - Just too many things Well, this is just a warm-up and starting to the next seasons, which I assume are better. |
| Ok pretty much based on fanservice. Thus good watch |
 |
| Finally, finished this shitty season. The whole season is a garbage albeit a few moments from here & there. If I was Lala's father, boy would I've killed that retarded piece of shit with my ultra-sized sniper rifle. Clean cut to a nonsense! Can't believe this midget is the best in the whole universe o.O I was mad that, the lame scumbag retarded piece of shit "MC" got the world's best award. I would've given him, "World's shitiest retardist person ever" award! I rate the whole season as 3/10 (I gave it 3 cause some moments were a bit good) Also, the end song from episode 12 or 13 I guess, was really good :p Can't wait to see what's all the fuss about in darkness :D |
| Show was good enough to not think about dropping it mid way, but there were too many filler episodes, some of them too boring (fire spitting girl). It breaks overall good feel. From what I seen Haruna and Rito are too much indecisive. Without Lala they would be pretty much at the same spot as in the start of the show. What I got from the ending is that Lala is more perceptive than I thought, realizing that forcing Rito may not be that great idea for them to be happy together yet (he would regret not saying anything to Haruna). I'm surprised that she even noticed, she acts always so blind to it. There is no way out for him now then choose Lala (save Earth). My point of view is that Lala is better option than Haruna. Rito and Haruna are nice and cute together, but they lack something to move them forward. Lala has a clear mind about what she want, also it would be a waste for a show, to not use that unique character as her. About waking up Rito from his dream state, I was imagining different approach here. Heroic Haruna dragging him out unconscious to that finish line. That would be great plot. |

| Wow that was a really bad episode, and even more so for an ending. Lala wanting to erase everyone's memory came out of the blue. Her father is the universe ruler, basically the finale judge of the world. Just ask him to take care of it...? Why would she come back to earth in the first place? She did it to escape political marriage, but because she was engaged to rito that means she can avoid it. Now that she isn't, the Deviluke people know she went to earth. It blows her cover... no point in returning to earth...... Why am I try to make sense of this shit anyway? |
| Man, this episode was stupid, even by To Love Ru standards. Not to mention, cheesy as hell. Even then, the episode was still fine, until he pussied out of the marriage at the last moment, and even Lala, suddenly acting out of character, decided to call it off because plot. And here I was thinking maybe Rito isn't as big of a pussy as everyone makes him out to be. |
| Meh...this was an ok show...but nothing to write home about. |
 |
on 
| Rito is officially in my 'Worst MCs ever' list. Lol lol lol talk about a lame and stupid ending lol. The series gets a deserving 1/10, I can't believe I wasted my time with this... |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| And thus their memories aren't deleted all because Lala's inventions fail. He couldn't even pass the exam by himself. Nice catch by Yami, pretty cool how she can lift things as heavy as a helicopter. Overall pretty bland show. Some funny stuff here and there but overall Rito was plain annoying. |
 |
| So where can I get some of that slime? Unexpected: Lala calling off the engagement. Almost thought the might go for a tragic ending there. They got me... Lala's inventions never work all that well. 3/10 (not good) Too many episodes. Not funny enough. Best girl: Mikan |

| Good thing I started reading the manga. This first season is terrible and a filler fest. I pity those who got introduced to the series by this abomination. |
 |
| Had some funny parts and was charming in a way,but I was honestly for some kind of story. Overall,it was ok. |
