Toraburu

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 putting them in a bad light. But here in To Love Ru, everything works well. It fits just as expected.

Additionally, it should be noted that, between episodes, a story is gradually told that serves as a background for all the characters and for about four epic final episodes.

Don't get me wrong. To Love Ru is far from being a true exponent of the ecchi genre. There are works millions of times better than this. However, its comedy with fan service works.

THE GOOD: Great variety of characters, all very well developed.

THE BAD: Well, I don't know if it's bad because it's not the author's goal, but I point out that it is a very basic and simple story.

I AM LOOKING FORWARD to the next seasons.

It's a good anime that has a large amount of fan service which makes it a r rated anime. It has a good plot and I would still want some more seasons of it.

It's like "Urusei yatsura", but Ecchi and with a female lead less jaelous and more oppai, so it's better!

By the way, "TO LOVE RU" is also the name of the alien spaceships OS, and stand for: (T)echnlogy of (O)ver (L)evel (O)peration for (V)ery heavy command to (E)lectronic unit control Unit (RU)...RU!? RU RU (RUN)

I watched To Love Ru Season 1 a few years back and didn't really like it, but that has changed after I rewatched it and saw what great comedy it has to offer. The story is fairly interesting and goes deeper the more you think about it. The story is mostly covered by adult homour which is perfect relief from the actual story. To anyone that hasn't watched yet, I can definetly recommend it.

It's nice and all.. but, i don't think there's a solid story in this anime. Maybe it's just too much with the girl characters and i can't see the value of the story. It's getting boring and annoying sometimes, but it's one of the anime you can add to your watchlist for the experience.
