Time has truly not been kind to To LOVE-Ru...
Motto To LOVE-Ru picks up exactly where the first season left off. The essence of the work remains the same: absurd situations, embarrassing accidents, charismatic female characters, and a virtually endless amount of fanservice. Technically, little has changed. The animation remains simple, the soundtrack fulfills its role, and the focus continues to be romantic comedy mixed with ecchi.
The problem is that, watching the series today, it's hard not to notice how much it has aged. Not because it's a bad work, but because many of the elements that made it famous have been repeated ad nauseam by countless anime that came after. The protagonist tripping and falling in compromising positions, the romantic misunderstandings, the accidents involving…

It is well known that I am an expert in ecchi anime. I consider myself a ‘guru’ of the genre.
For that reason, I am ashamed that I have not completed watching the legendary saga ‘To Love Ru.’
At the time of writing these lines, I have finished the second season, and although more than 10 years have passed since its release, I do not intend to stop giving my review of this classic.
I am struck by the fact that most reviews give higher ratings to the second season than to the first.
The second season does not change much. Small episodes with sexy adventures with the protagonists of the series.
However, the big difference with the first season is that here an episode does not tell a story, but rather three small stories per episode are told. This definitely helps the narrative because in…

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 pa…

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.

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 charact…

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 b…

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…

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 a…

English:
I watched "Motto To LOVE-Ru" because I was in kind of a race. The first four days I watched the first season, and then I got to watch the "Motto" season / shorts / specials. I was surprised on how the image quality improved since the first season, but the story itself wasn't something I could enjoy. I was more a break than an actual plot. I really prefer the first season over this one, but it's always good to see more "Plot" than just plot. ¬w¬

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…

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.

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 fee…

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 disapp…

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…

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…

Your level of enjoyment while watching To Love-Ru is directly proportional with how hard a boner you've got. If your boner is as hard as titanium as you watch this, then this anime may very well be a ten for you. Unfortunately, while I was watching mine was only as hard as concrete.
To Love-Ru is a great epitome of all the fan service animes out there. It is the anime to go to if all you want to see is boobs, butts, and a faceless boring male lead who all the girls wanna be with. You could easily put yourself in his shoes and imagine yourself doing all the perverted things.
To Love-Ru has no shame at all. While the first season actually had something that resembled a plot (introduce a new girl, have the new girl fall in love with Rito. Not to mention the plot regarding the king of the u…

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…

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 Be…
