This is a review of all seasons.
This anime is criticized by many. Many accuse him of being almost Hentai and having no action.
It’s an Echci anime, so according to the definition of the genre, there must be nude scenes and all that that genre entails, but they appear mainly for comedy purposes. There are many scenes, such as the phone scene between Rito and Kotegawa, that bring a smile to your face. These Echci situations themselves are quite innocent, so it is abusive to compare this anime to Hentai.
The story definitely exists. Although it’s not the strong side of this anime, it shouldn’t be. The story fulfils useful functions. It’s used to bring characters together, build relationships. When someone has an interesting and complicated act bitch it can disappoint. That’s not anime for him.
But who is this anime for? Certainly for someone who is looking for something simple, with a sense of humor and a lot of positive energy. I don’t know if I can call it right, but there is such a positive energy flowing from this anime, which is best summed up by Yami’s words to Mei: “It’s sainan here you don’t have to wonder if you’re a weapon or a human being and if you belong here, this city will accept you.” What makes this series different from other Echci harem? Especially heroes who are well written. I don’t like the Echci-Harem series and don’t grab them because they are usually very flat. The hero is inconspicuous, and all his equally inconspicuous friends fall in love with him and behave in a rather embarrassing manner. This anime is different. The hero himself is different from a typical Echi hero, and why a person is in love with him is well explained and usually based on some of his personality traits. I missed the manga arc who insisted on finding a plant to save Celina from a fatal disease. He explains Momo’s feelings for Rito that were not explained in the anime. A little unfortunately there are no male characters outside the main character and it is a harem, but the female characters are at least very well written and are original. In this anime, the development of the characters is well represented. The characters are not only curious and original, but they are constantly changing, whether due to certain events or the influence of other characters. At least you can see the gradual change of the main character that has taken place in him under the influence of Lala. Lala herself changed over the course of the show and her love for the main character matured. And you could name many other characters, like Momo, Yami and Mea, who evolved during the show. As I said, the relationships between the characters are also very well done. Not just between the main character and his harem, but between everyone. I liked the arc of friendship between Mei and Nana.
In summary, this is a light anime with comedy elements, but due to the relationship between the characters it is deeper than the regular Echci series. This is a slice of live with Echci elements. So if you like school slice of live and you don’t mind and you’re looking for something light and funny, but not stupid, I recommend you. I estimate the whole show at 8/10. This is how it looks in the respective seasons:
1.To love ru-7/10
2.Motto to love ru-7,5/10
3.To love ru darkness(both seasons)- 9/10
