(L+CR) To Love Ru

[noob3d]

We'll thanks to my crappy japanese I was able to understand half of it quite well while I understood the rest from the manga.I feel so proud LOL.Anyway,I thought episode 1 was fairly decent and I liked the studio's animation style including the steamy hot opening song.I'll be waiting eagerly for the full single =3

Its been a long time I've been happy about a light hearted ecchi series coming out.Somehow I feel that To Love-Ru has that special spark that keeps me interested and the manga's art was easy on the eyes as well not to mention VERY nice to look at.

Everything seems awesome except for the OP and ED. Music... bleh... animation sequence... bleh. What a let down OP and ED.

[ZODDGUTS]

So far a good start but yeah the music sucks ass it was 3rd rate also felt it didn't fit well with the series .

[yozaku]

I think

For anyone who doesnt read manga this anime quite good.

But many of my friend think this eps not good coz its inferior than its manga

[FlareKnight]

Spoiler for Ep1:

Well that was a way to get the series started. Kind of feel for Haruna and Rito. Both had some feelings for the other, but just hadn't gotten it out there. But Lala dropped into the picture making it tough luck for those two. Odd how I always seem pulled towards characters that have little chance. Just the direction I push myself towards it seems .

Rito didn't do too bad on the rescue considering they can throw trucks at him. Pretty rough you find out your big moment was just to help a girl that was trying to run away from marriage proposal meetings. Then you get sucked into a giant vacuum that explodes. Guess that's....well it's not life, but its something.

Well let's see how this goes.

seems like it's goin to be like ah my goddess. people who didn't read manga loved it *like myself* but people who read manga hated it because storyline wasn't good as manga lol.

So it's finally been subbed. Nice!

[Avantoe]

Just a big mess for a first episode. I hope it gets better.

[yongshun]

wow reminds me of Girls Bravo. Should be interesting to watch for the mindless fanservice.

Admittedly its been awhile, but I don't honestly remember the first chapter or two being terribly different then the first episode was...I mean its not like the manga has a whole lot of depth or plot to screw up with anyway.

As for the episode...Honestly it was only so-so...i'd say Kanokon had far more impact on me first episode wise and is probably all the ecchi i'll need this season heh. I defiantly will pick this one up again later on though, but only for Yami-chan.

I can assure you that the manga was different. For exemple, the intro scene never happened in the manga. therefor his first love confession didn't failed like that.

On top of that the seiyuu for lala didn't meet my expectations. I don't why yet, maybe her voice too high-pitched.

Well i hope it's gonne be better in the nex episode.

[mdauben]

Just watched the fansub of the first ep. I might say I was disappointed, except having read some of the manga I was not really expecting much. Just a not terribly interesting vehicle for fanservice it seems. I may watch a few more eps, but its really nothing special.

[wormspeaker]

Rito, a shy boy, suffers because he cannot confess his feelings to his classmate, Haruna. Meanwhile, Lala, the princess of Planet Deviluke, appears in Rito's home and accidentally falls in love with him. She becomes engaged to Rito, and comes to live with him. He is embarrassed by her advances, such as pressing herself against him in public, or sneaking into his bed naked. Unknowingly, the seemingly innocent Lala creates major problems, and the problems not only extend to Rito, but Haruna and other people. Can Rito retrieve his peaceful days?

Okay, that is the plot of every anime made since 1995.

It will of course be awesome just like all the others!

/em resumes his sad and lonely life.

Kanokon "had far more impact" for me, too.

[ZODDGUTS]

Eh the manga starts off a bit off takes a couple of chapters to really get going. This series will be better then Kanokon comedy wise if it turns as good as the manga.

[Darklightz]

I suppose this will be the next ecchi anime after Rosario ended. So far it's not too bad, let's see how it goes from here

[Haruyasha]

Will a 16:9 version be aired?

edit: NM. Question answered by myself. Seems like it will air on April 24th on BS-i in 16:9 ...

Such a long wait. This is just like Clannad..

[Grimkill7]

I made a resolution that I would watch at least 2 of every episode this season (disregarding sequels to original series that I have not seen), but I am really not into fanservice-based shows at all. Still, if To Love Ru manages to introduce some elements of humor down the road, it'll keep me grounded. Few fanservice shows have succeeded in making me laugh, but there have been exceptions

Now on to the episode. The characters, despite being nothing new, managed to somewhat grasp my interest. Rito is pretty much as cliché a lead as one can be in a show of this genre. That aside, he is nowhere near as insufferable as Kanokon's male lead. Lala comes off as a collage of every "peppy" main female heroine ever (Yuna from Maburaho and Dita from Vandread immediately spring to mind as examples). At first glance, Haruna seems to be a more tolerable version of Yoshida Kazumi. She'll probably end up being my favorite character -- dooming her love life to failure. I was not really impressed by the music at all. The animation is nothing special, but it remains solid throughout. I was actually quite pleased during the octopus vacuum scene.

Nothing much in sight of plot yet. Lala runs away from home, and now she thinks Rito wants to marry her. Same old, same old. Overall between this and Kanokon, I feel Kanokon is the better show. Then again, maybe that's just my Horo withdrawals creating bias

[nines]

Spoiler for manga spolier:
