Classic ecchi, weak characters, no plot, no music no nothing, if you like grab boobs and so it's your show, if you want to watch a good anime, stay out of this one, only character that is okish is yami.
MC is horrendous, classic good guy who makes all the FC fall for him, totally really retarded.
The art is ok-ish, the only good thing of the anime probably and is not even that good.
FC are just stereotypes with no personality or developement.
If you like boobs and play with your wood this is your anime if you want something decent... just no. As ecchi is ok-ish, if you know what I mean.

A lot of people recommended this to me. It took me well over a year to finish but I wanted to give it a review because I think it is overhyped.
Animation and Sound: The animation is ok. The only problem I have it is that the characters look creepily young which is a problem in an echhi anime. Because of that, many parts of this anime are very uncomfortable and kind of gross. The voice acting is hard to judge because the dialogue is so repetitive that it doesn’t really get a chance to be memorable. The voice acting does shine in the final episode but at that point it is already too late. The music is also repetitive. Every episode has the same goofy tune which gets really irritating after about the third time you hear it.
Characters: After about the 5th episode they become so predictable…

I remember when I first watched To Love Ru (TLR) back in Nov 2011. Being the very first anime I watched, I really liked it up to the point of rewatching it 4x. I could say TLR is the one that piqued my interest towards anime, all thanks to a friend of mine. However, having watched more anime later on, my opinion of TLR have changed.
Story - 6
"I LOOOOOVE TLR! I kept laughing throughout the show. Although yeah, there are some fillers in the show that I got bored with. It's rather amusing how the MC keeps on failing to clear misunderstandings, ends up in outworldly situations, yet does not end up being hated by the girls around him. I also liked the last episodes. A real conflict came up, that semi-dramatic finale, and a very heart-warming ending. Score: 9!"
And that's what I thought back…

Sadly, the To Love-Ru anime is no different from the other Shonen Jump anime adaption flunkies. It takes a cute manga and adds in some of the most dross filler in anime period. We're not even going to bother talking about the cast, because the paper they drew the sketches of these characters on has more depth than 90% of the cast. Aside from maybe chief heroine Lala, who's cute, likable, but a little grating at times, the only decent characters are Rito's little sister, the calm and supporting Mikan, and busty, alien school nurse Ryouko Mikado, the only other character with a functional brain. (Though you might be tempted to question that, since she is the one who tasked two high-schoolers with running a huge inn... while in the middle of their school year?) And of course, we'd be remiss t…

Lion Tamers, it's time to talk about "To LOVE-Ru".
Before I go any further, I want to point out, this show is utterly moronic, in almost every category. But there is no voting category for imbecilic anime creation. So I'm forced to put that on the table, up front and center.
Does this mean I intend to rip this show a new hole in its' posterior? Not necessarily. It just means that this show is intended to be liked by folks that have appreciation for things that equate to unreal expectations.
And there are times when that is appropriate behavior. For example, if you notice a multi-mile long asteroid approaching the planet you live on, and understand the consequences of this approaching doom-stone, you may just wish for a nice breezy day on the beach .... of another planet. That is clearly…

This is just mindless, fun entertainment.
Alright so the story of To Love Ru is about a boy name Yuuki Rito who gropes a pink-haired alien name Lala who is the princess of Deviluke. After trying to confess his feelings to a girl, Haruna Sairenji, he accidentally confesses to Lala and says to him "Lets get married". From there on Rito tries to get out of the relationship with Lala, but has other things in his way that actually makes him closer to her. The plot does get more of a serious tone towards the end of the anime, but overall it's just a fun anime.
My favorite character in this show is without a doubt Lala. She is one of my all time favorite female characters. I don't know why but I like characters like her. This charismatic, upbeat, joyful personality and always having a positive…

To LOVE-Ru is a pretty standard harem anime with the usual sickeningly innocent protagonist with unbelievable luck with women falling at his feet. This anime is full of fan service, I mean packed full, there isn't an episode without a decent amount of ecchi scenes. Despite the fan service and dull story it is still a pretty funny and fun to watch anime, with the following continuation to Motto To LOVE-Ru and To LOVE-Ru Darkness being very enjoyable to watch.
What I loved about the To LOVE-Ru series as a whole (all 3 seasons), was the enjoyment. This anime made me laugh but was fun and uplifting throughout, it was just very pleasant to watch. I'm not one to watch anime one handed but the fan service usually came with a laugh so it added to the anime without being purely for fan service sak…

Hmm I do admit that I enjoyed watching this series, but only really for Lala. Everything else was pretty bad.
Story:
Lol. Pretty nonexistent. Each episode is its own mini-adventure, but the mini-adventures have literally nothing to do with each other. You could watch this entire show in a random order and it would basically be the same. There are only really 3 important episodes where outside characters are introduced (like the episode where Golden Darkness arrives), but other than that all the episodes are completely unrelated. Now, that's not to say that just because a show has mini-episodes, it's bad. Those who are fans of Sora no Otoshimono will know that you can still pull off a pretty good story with having mini-episodes. It's just with To-Love Ru, each mini-episodes contributes no…

"If you smile once when you’re feeling down, you begin to feel better and become more cheerful."
I made a mistake when I first started watching this series. It was too late to correct it, and I feel ashamed for what I did... yeah, you guessed it. I watched Motto to LOVE-Ru before this, which was apparently season 2. In retrospect, I probably should have figured that out when there were a bunch of scenes in Motto to LOVE-Ru talking about the previous events in this season. Ah well, what are you going to do?
Anyways, To LOVE-Ru. Most people who enjoy echii have probably heard of To LOVE-Ru Darkness, one of the most popular echii animes of last year. Well, ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, Season 1 of the To LOVE-Ru series. As I said before, it might be pretty easy to get all the seas…

mhh, this is one of these anime´s which do not make sence at all till the last 2 episodes and the previous episodes are fillup which i disliked a lot.
Also this anime contains heavily showoff echhi, that's everything with ecchi what hasn't to do with love, and a weak amount of romance ecchi, which is ever ecchi according to love.
also this anime isn´t that perfected and we could say that this anime is a fun only anime. not really interesting in anything but the fun you´ll have in to LOVE-Ru
so even before starting the expectation is probably way higher then the outcome.
With this in mind i will write this review in my honnest words according to feelings and comparing with other look-alike anime's
Story:
well there is accualy a story in this romance, ecchi harem anime. and that is rare…

It had its laughs but there was just TOO MUCH GOD DAMN FILLER, for a good portion of the middle episodes I felt I was just dragging myself through it, really could've been a 12-13 episode anime, I felt that the laughs were not consistent and sometimes I would go almost an entire episode without laughing, maybe it's b/c I've watched too many harem comedies and I'm used to the oh no you've seen my panties jokes but I just felt they were beating a dead horse most of times they attempted jokes but it did have its moments and I watched the entire thing so it wasn't all bad, probably wouldn't recommend unless someone wants to watch a basic harem comedy that they don't have to much thought into

'To Love-ru' is an anime with one exclusive purpose - to supply the viewer with a fresh uninterrupted stream of ecchi, served with a side of slightly cliche but still grin inducing comedy. Now this is only going to work for those who are really into ecchi/comedy or something light-hearted in general as 'To love-ru' lacks any semblance of a plot and is entirely episodic. One common occurrence that I've noticed during my time on MAL is that people will usually go into these type of series knowing full well what they are and then complain about it afterwards anyway. This anime is targeting a very specific audience and if you do not fall within the boundaries of that audience then you will naturally end up bored or even despise the series. You can guess which side of the camp I'm on.

Well.. Where do I start.. Hmmmm
Well I watched this series due to a suggestion in the recommendations of Rosario + Vampire.. Although the shows are both somewhat similar.. I expected a bit more out of the series.
Let me start with this.. there are to me.. two seasons to this series basically..and the second series starts somewhere around episode 14.. but.. too be quite honest in my opinion.. Episodes 18-24 are basically OVAs that are stuffed in.. I mean.. There is the story of Kyoto the Fire Girl..a entire episode about a show Lala and Rito watch on television.. which had absolutely nothing to do with anything.. There is an episode (23) that is adapted to Japanese folk tales which is really neat and informative.. but it has absolutely nothing to do with the storyline..
The first episod…

I liked this serie, though it is really perverted and I'm not really into ecchi. To Love-ru has alot of comedy, ecchi, it has only a little romance and sci-fi, but not really much.
Where is the story about?
It goes about a boy(Yuuki, Rito) who is in love with a girl(Sairenji, Haruna), and then Rito meets another gir(Lala Satalin) from another planet(Deviluke). She ran away from home because her father wants her to get married. She wanted to marry Rito and then fell in love with him. Most of the time there happends something because of Lala's brilliant self-made inventions - Which don't always work the way they should be working - so the invention causes some problems..
Storyline 7/10
It doesn't have an outstanding storyline.. Almost every episode stands apart from the other episodes. Som…

To-Love-Ru was a huge disappointment for me. The series had so much potential, but in the end, turned out to be one big failure... It had no plot whatsoever, beside the first few episodes, which introduced the "story". No plot progression for characters as well, what they did was throw in a few new characters during the show and there it ended. They could use much more interesting turn of events and character progression it even hurts to think about it.
Another thing I have to point out - the humor in this series is simply NOT FUNNY... AT ALL. The only one who actually made me laugh was Zastin - he's a genious, not to mention his seiyuu is Takehito Koyasu and he's one of my favorites (Adam Blade from Needless, Shark Fujishiro from Seto no Hanayome, Luke Valentine from Hellsing...).

Wow, what a pile.
Story: 26 episodes of will they-wont they three way romantic tension that ends in an utterly atrocious cop out ending. Ill save you the trouble *spoiler* NOTHING HAPPENS *End spoiler*, the story was a mixture of failed service attempts and absolute garbage literally.
Art/Sound: one up side is that the art and sound are above average, woopy the story still sucks
Characters: I have seen some pretty generic and thoughtless characters but the ones in this take the cake. Golden Darkness was the cheapest ripe off of eve from black cat i have ever seen, and they don't even use it for jokes. Yuuki is pretty much Tsuna from Katekyo Hitman Reborn with a touch of Nagasumi from Seto No Hanayome which i would call the funniest anime ever, if your watching this garbage stop and go wa…

to-LOVE-Ru, a slice of life romantic comedy. Now its an adaptation of the manga, and as far as I can tell, it only adheres to the source material in spirit. Not that there is a problem with that. It'd be rather unfair to compare it manga anyway.
First up is the plot, or the lack thereof. They work quite well as standalone episodes, since there is not much continuity among them. However, there are some plot holes here and there. I still can't find the point in the anime that explains how Run ends up liking Rito. They even tacked on a mini-arc at the end which brought the show to somewhat of a conclusion. It may have been hasty but there was little else they probably could have done.
As for the art, in tune with the spirit of the manga is very, ahem refreshing with judiciously placed art a…

Story: Pretty much all filler. Each episode stands alone except the ending and they don't really play off of each other. The series strays way too far from the Manga and doesn't explore the main parts where you see many characters develop themselves. I understand that the Manga has stories that end in one chapter and expansion is necessary to make the Anime but they could've handled it better. A similar style to the beginning of Full Metal Panic Fumoffu would've been cool where there were two stories split between an episode. Since chapters for To-Love-Ru are short, that would've been a great direction for this show to take. However, this show's filler made me feel incredibly bored as most of the stories weren't even adapted from the Manga. They were original stories. Only some of the epis…

So I completed this series not but a few days ago and believe that I'm finally ready to review it.The basis of this series is we have alien (Lala)who comes to earth trying to escape capture who meets this "unfortunate" fellow (Rito) who seems to be this socially inept loser who can't ask out the girls of his dreams (Haruna); events happen and by some strange coincidence Rito ends up engaged to Lala which throws his whole entire world into a spin of alien encounters, comedy, romance and ecchi. So for those of you wondering is this something new no absolutely not but is this something enjoyable...short answer yes long answer maybe leaning towards a yes.
Story- Yeah the story is not that complex it's a love comedy ecchi so it has pretty much everything you expect (mandatory hot spring episode…

"Rito~"
Story: Well, the story isn't better than your average ecchi/harem/comedy anime. The protagonist always gets into "misunderstandable positions" with the girls whom all seem to feel something to the protagonist. All the space business doesn't help either. If you ever expect something more than this, to-LOVE-Ru is not for you.
7/10
Art: The art is what I'd call typical for your average ecchi anime. It's not bad, but it's not ultra high quality of course. I found no reason to make it high quality when all the fans of harem would watch it unless it has seems like it's from 1990s. Don't ask me how those ripped off clothes are replaced.
7/10
