The first season of To LOVE-Ru.
Perhaps one of the most famous school harem anime in history. Even those who have never watched it have probably heard of it at some point, mainly because it helped to further popularize this style of romantic comedy full of ecchi, misunderstandings, and absurdly unlucky protagonists.
The story follows Yuuki Rito, a shy boy completely inexperienced in love, whose life is turned upside down after meeting Lala, an extremely energetic alien princess with no sense of privacy or boundaries. From there begins the classic chaos of a school harem: several girls begin to appear around the protagonist, each with their own specific personality, while Rito remains unable to handle any minimally romantic situation without panicking.
To be honest, To LOVE-Ru is perhaps…

Love-Ru is great entertainment "with benefits". The first episode, where a girl from outer space arrives at a random guy's house, didn't completely convince me, but it was a necessary basis on which the creators were able to pack a lot of funny plots and a reasonable main story. Moreover, I was very surprised when, after the more comedic first two seasons, the third one started the story in a new and engaging direction (which I wouldn't have expected from this type of series). I enjoyed Love-Ru overall, although the ending could have been more closed, but not that I was angry. Scanerio-reviewer-kun ends the review 😜

To Love-Ru and how a work full of fanservice can be good!
First what is To Love-Ru?
To Love-Ru is a manga written by Saki Hasemi and illustrated by Kentaro Yabuki (Author of Black Cat and Ayakashi Triangle) Serialized in Weekly Shounen Jump magazine around the same time as Rosario To Vampire, between 2006 and 2008, with 18 volumes, with its sequel To Love-Ru Darkness serialized in Jump between 2010 and 2017 if I'm not mistaken with 18 volumes too. The story centers on Yuuki Rito, a fifteen-year-old boy who lives his high school life normally until an alien crashes on planet Earth from the planet Deviluke, and stops in Rito's bathtub where, without thinking, he ends up groping the breasts of Lala Satalin Deviluke, one of the three princesses of Deviluke, So she is promised in marriage to…

the good old ecchi from the 2000s, it had been a long time since I saw one so I remembered this one and the feeling I had is that the anime didn't age very well but it still has a good comedy 😂, Rito is the typical protagonist that makes you want to strangle him because he doesn't have attitude but Lala is too aggressive and carries the anime on her back, each one had their moment to shine but the one who really carries it is Lala, the story could have been divided into 2 seasons because I feel that at a certain point the story stagnates and becomes tiring to watch and only near the end does it get back into gear, the animation is the standard of the time nothing to declare, one thing that could have happened is the development of the harem but since there are still the OVAs and the follo…

Brief overview: a comedic harem anime with a massive amount of fan service
This review will be based on the whole series.
The final verdict will be an 8/10 for the whole series.
Story 7/10
It's hard to give this a rating because the story mostly focuses on the characters, fan service and comedic elements of it. The story goes from one day an Alien girl called Lala accidentally crashed into Rito's house from space while he was having a bath. During that time Rito accidentally touches her breast which he is then force to become a symbol of being Lala's fiance. However, Rito doesn't have any love interest for Lala, but only for Haruna and to undo this the only way is to touch her breast again to officially cancel the marriage between those two. After that, there really isn't any story-focus…

As a fan of the ecchi genre, I felt embarrassed for never having seen this classic. For one reason or another, I kept putting it off.
At the time of writing this, I have only watched the first season in its entirety.
I have seen very low ratings for To Love Ru, and I think this happens because the purpose of this anime is not understood.
To Love Ru does NOT try to tell an epic, deep, or intriguing story. On the contrary, it is just a comedy with simple episodes meant to make you laugh. The question is, does it do it well?
The answer is a resounding YES. Firstly, To Love Ru presents a solid cast of characters with well-defined and consistent personalities. Secondly, all the comedy (except maybe two episodes) is very original and funny. I don’t want to cite other ecchi comedies to avoid…

Of all the To Love Ru series, in this first season I agree that the score is smaller than the others.
The main plot of the anime is that Rito accidentally gets engaged to Lala, this is quite interesting, but not for another episode
This anime was not made neatly, each episode has almost no connection to each other, even the first plot disappeared and was not discussed again.
There are too many absurd stories in it, and most of them just tell stupid things that have nothing to do with the main story, especially in the episodes that tell about Saruyama.
Some episodes seemed to end for no reason, when the episode I watched told about A and when I watched the next episode the story changed to C.
This very clearly spoils the storyline because the story from the previous episode has absolute…

i recommend this... ¡Only if you like ecchi!
This anime its made with the objetiuve to be an ecchi, nothing more. And it makes it incredible. It is one of the best in its genre, it is everything it proposes, all the reasons why someone would want to see an ecchi harem this anime fulfills perfectly!
a really good variety of girls to pick and choose, the mc its not that boring like other harem/ecchi mc. I really rnjoy Rito actually, he´s funny and he is kind-hearted, i can kinda understand why theres a bunch of hot chiks in love w him.. LOL XD
don´t watch if you are looking for a great, complex and deep history, you are not going to find it. BUt, you will find a funny plot with a lot of characters and really enjoyable dynamics.

To Love Ru is a romantic comedy anime series that follows the story of Rito Yuki, a high school student who is in love with his classmate Haruna Sairenji. However, his life takes a drastic turn when a beautiful alien princess named Lala Satalin Deviluke suddenly appears in his bathtub and declares that she will marry him.... Every mans dream, right? or is it...
The first season of To Love Ru is a mixed bag, with some aspects that are enjoyable and others that are not so great. On the positive side, the show has a colorful and vibrant art style that is pleasing to the eye. The character designs are also well-done, with each character having a unique and distinct appearance.
The humor in To Love Ru is also a highlight of the show. The series is full of slapstick comedy and absurd situation…

I wanted to like this show, I really really wanted to like it, but it just falls flat.
As for plot, there isn't any. The show is 90% filler. There is maybe 3-4 episodes with any substance, with the rest just completely forgettable episodes. The only real honest reason to watch this is for the ecchi, but that's it, and it unfortunately isn't enough to sustain the rest of the show.
The humor in the show fits the style of shows intended for younger audiences, completely zaney and with zero reason. things happen just because they're wacky.
If you're 12-14 this will probably be right up your ally, but I can't honestly recommend this to anyone older than that.

Why would anyone recommend To LOVE-Ru in 2022 , I mean it is full of Filler episodes isn't it ???
Well yes but actually no ,
Let me introduce you to a well-paced anime where you can enjoy the 90 percent of it without feeling bored !
=POSITIVE ASPECTS=
EPISODE PROGRESSION , STORY ;
Despite the fact that To LOVE-Ru is FULL of filler episodes , the majority of them seemed pretty great to me and were enjoyable , interesting and last but not least easy to laugh my ass off to . You might think that all it has to offer is Fan Service and things like that , but in reality every episode felt quite special . To be honest , I expected to watch something that was way too generic and overused from other similar anime titles ( Trinity Seven , Monster Musume ) where the protagonist is just gradual…

What Feelings This Anime Farms:
Laughter - No
Ecchi Arousal - Yes
Unstoppable Push from Compelling Plot - No
Wholesomeness - No
Action Dopamine - No
Unstoppable Push to Keep Watching - Yes
______ Laughter - I did laugh a couple times, but I do not think that this is the main feeling you should be expecting to farm from To Love Ru
Ecchi Arousal - I think this is the main feeling you should be expecting to farm from To Love Ru.
Unstoppable Push from Compelling Plot - The show is mainly episodic, but the later episodes are more grand in terms of its plot. I do not think you should necessarily expect to farm this feeling from its plot.
Wholesomeness - It has some wholesome moments, but I do not think you should expect to farm this feeling.
Action Dopamine - It has some action sequences, b…

WARNING, MINOR SPOILERS!
I had a lot of expectations going in to To LOVE-Ru, but sadly most of them were crushed with a very mediocre plot and I'd even say sometimes annoying story and encounters. It had a lot going for it since the idea itself was something new and refreshing, being able to see your deepest desires of having a harem unfold before your very eyes was something to look forward to, but to my horror that never really happened. The main character of the story, Rito Yuuki is a complete virgin that has no idea how to act around girls, even when all of those girls are throwing themselves at him, while it can be funny and used for comedic relief at the start, it gets boring pretty fast and I just kept on wishing he finally maned up and did something more interesting, but to no avai…

el anime es bueno y es divertido, no hay que tomarlo muy en serio porque es un anime de comedia, recomendado hasta antes de to love ru darkness porque ahi es donde todo se vuelve un total asco, donde los mismos protagonistas no saldran ni 5 minutos por capitulo, haruna casi ni saldra y lo mismo lala, ya que aparecera un personaje llamado momo y arruinara todo llevandose absolutamente el protagonismo, el anime dejara de ser divertido y habra excesivo ecchi en escenas muy forzadas solo para medio mantener entretenido el anime (y ni funciona) asi que si lo vas a ver, te recomiendo que lo veas hasta antes de to love ru darkness

To-Love ru is a harem anime.
The anime doesnt really have a important story. Its more about comedy and every now and then a little bit of romance.
As I said the story is not very important but still funny! The art is very solid and the sound is pretty basic. The characters are very hilarious, my favourite character has to be Momo, the little sister of the female protagonist. Enjoyment is on point. The only bad thing in my opinion is that there are some episodes that arent needed, so therefore could be skipped.
Overall the anime is really good to calm down or if you had a bad day at work/school and I would it recommend to everyone!

For me it's a great anime, it's not nauseating and although the story isn't your forte, you can still have fun with it.he has memorable characters and is a good ecchi for him at the beginning of the anime world and looking for one, but I do not recommend it for children under 15, because some scenes are not censored and for some people it can be uncomfortable, but in general I would recommend it to a friend, and as the series is long, so there is a lot to enjoy, and in the other seasons there will be more comedy and action, the story will go deeper and everything will become more intriguing, but this is for another review

tl;dr: An anime that while having solid characters takes too long for too little plot, character, and relationship development in favor of comedy and ecchi, wherein it does decently in both of these aspects but not enough to hold up the show.
In terms of plot, I feel like I get what it was going for, in terms of the structure being a the main characters being forced into a relationship, followed by a series of episodes that don't really have much of any sort of overarching story but are there to slowly develop the relationship between these main characters, ultimately leading to a finale where that plays a major part. However, I think it didn't quite manage to do a good job with that in most regards. The opening is a pretty solid set up for the premise, and the cast of characters also see…

To LOVE-Ru sits in a genre that I myself already dislike, so my expectations when I sat down to watch it were low. Keep in mind this review is for a harem anime from a guy that has a genuine distaste for fanservice.
Story: 4/10
What I can give To LOVE-Ru credit for is an interesting premise with a colorful cast of characters. Rito Yuki is a less than average high school boy that through miscommunication with an alien girl somehow ends up in a situation where he needs to marry her. The large majority of the anime focuses on light comedy and ad nauseum ribaldry, once in a while stepping away from this to create tension due to the politics and drama of this situation and what it means for Rito. The harem aspect takes time to develop but by the second season it becomes the focus and this hu…

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.
