To-Love-Ru... i wish i could unwatch it...
It's utterly TRASH, but it got at least 1 "redeeming" aspect: It's the perfect example of what a Manga should NOT be like. An Ecchi and Harem Manga/Anime. That by itself is not a problem. The problems are:
How the hell did this trash become so popular?! Using it as a Frisbee would be too good for it... Cannot blame the Mangaka though... when people like his trash, why should he stop producing it?

Nah. I'd say the animation is so-so. Not terrible but also nothing to write home about. Plus, the characters actually look better in the manga source than in the anime (especially the male MC). Most fans only watch this series for the girls and fanservice (e.g. boobs and nether regions ).

In the end, it's the quintessential shounen romantic comedy: "will-he-or-won't-he" hijinks that continue forever, female characters that are cute and easy to cheer for, and plenty of fanservice. Basically all of the tropes you're complaining about are the essence of the humour. I think it makes sense that people don't like it... but I think it helps to think of it as the comedy that it is, and the sense of humour as an on-going joke that not everyone is going to "get". The key is that it never takes itself all that seriously.

I personally didn't hate this show but sometimes it does annoy me sometimes. I'm talking about One Piece.
Unimpressive art(very subjective but I don't like its character designs), Unimpressive animation quality and questionable plot(I don't know where it is going). I rather watch pre-Shippuden and pre-filler Naruto instead. |

Compare this to Rosario+Vampire: The anime is exactly like to-love-ru... boring, repetetive, annoying and no character development at all The manga is a lot better. It always brings new ideas and even a lot of character development for the MC (both personality and visual wise). Well may be connected to the fact that it becomes a story later on. But the MC having character development in a Harem and Ecchi Manga? What Rosario+Vampire is doing must seem like Heresy to other Harem and Ecchi Mangas... Quote:

But I think these long running manga/anime like One Piece, Naruto, Bleach, Fairy Tail, Hunter X Hunter etc. are a matter of taste. I for example "stalled" Bleach for 2 years already because it got boring.

Now for plot, I think it is pretty clear where it is going. Every previous arcs are slowly showing its purpose and beginning to connect with each other. I am really astounded by details One Piece has, something that came up in few hundred chapters comes up later on and has a purpose.

As far as ecchi rom-coms go, I thought To-Love-Ru was all right. I liked most of the characters. Rito was a cute lead and they did develop him towards the end.
The show just got plagued by goofy filler material or....at least material that FELT filler. ........like that giant sashimi octopus episode...geeze, wtf was that? It's a shame because a lot of rom-coms get this filler-like plague. When they throw plot at you, you get interested but when they throw inane fluff at you, you're sitting there, rolling your eyes and thinking Man, this is effing stupid....! Quote:
The song is good. And while the animation has some silly ecchi shots, it's still quite creative. Quote:
You should check out Kanokon. I hate that show with a passion. Worst anime I've watched in full, hands down. Quote:

But yeah, that's really really gross. I don't know why shounen artists like to draw that....maybe they think it's funny. Quote:

Perhaps because there are instances when people cry they do have runny nose? Sure, it is not visually pleasing to many but it is more realistic.
