To Love Ru
a review by Satonee

Boobs. Tits. Booba. Milkers. Badonkadonks. You may be wondering why I'm opening with a list of names for a specific female body part. Why? Mainly because there is absolutely nothing else to fucking talk about with To Love Ru apart from hanging melons that protrude from the female body.
I found this anime years ago, watched a little bit and then dropped it. Keep in mind that was me at 12, when I thought Trinity Seven was actually a serviceable anime. Now sometime last year I decided for some reason only God knows to actually watch the whole series. All of it. I wished I did what 12 year old me did and just dropped it 10 episodes in because HOLY SHIT IT IS AWFUL. If you want to see me splurge (not in that way) my thoughts on this anime and very quickly lose the will to live, carry on reading.
There is none. Just a pink haired alien called Lala (not Ru, because in a anime called 'To Love Ru' no one thought to add a character called Ru) falls into Rito's (the MC) third leg and then from there its just this Rito guy pulling everyone while still being a pussy boy throughout. At the end he has to run up into a spaceship to save Lala, which yes is a spoiler but there is literally no plot development towards this end goal that it may aswell be another of the random things that happen which does not progress the story along because there is none. By the way this goes for the whole series, literally half of it is OVA's because fuck all happens.
Literally I can sum this whole section up with one image:
To just get this out the way, I hate this anime a lot.
However there is always one positive thing about every anime. The one good thing I can say is that the opening for this season in particular slaps. It is just mid-2000s punk rock which does sound kinda cringe like most of the 2000s but heeeeeeey its still better than literally anything else this anime offers.

The animation is as middle of the pack as you get. There is not one good thing or bad thing about it (apart from the fact it might have the best boob physics of any anime in the 2000s)
When this anime attempts a joke it never lands, unless you are 10 or under. Like every joke they make for some reason HAS TO be sexual with no build up and no actual punchline. Every episode in the series feels like either one long joke made by a 30 year old basement dweller that is never finished, or a bunch of jokes by horny 11 year olds strung together with no structure that are all still unfished.
The characters are fucking woeful. Lala is typical big boobed pink haired girl that for some reason lacks a brain, rito is a pussy bitch that can't talk to women, Haruna is a shy uwu girl that I've seen 100 times already, Yui who is a 'pure soul' that always gets her breasts touched, Yami who is just dull, Mikan as a little sister architype, a genderbender, a preppy rich girl somewhere.
Oh, and this before the cancer that is Momo (Lala's sister) comes in the next season and fucks up any structure the series had to this point and changing the narrative from 'who should Rito fuck' to 'LETS FUCK EVERYONE YAYAYAYAYAYAYA' destroying any plot it could of had. Literally Lala turns into a supporting character like why? We established that she is the main girl, and now we dump her for a short, pink haired girl that wants everyone to fuck Rito who is still a pussy bitch.
Like I already said there is no story, nothing happens, characters never progress and everything makes me want to curl up and die.
"Character development? Whats that." - the producer for To Love Ru probably. Characters are not only stale but never fucking change or progress or do anything.
I could say a lot more, but honestly I don't fancy a trip to the ICU for brain damage so lets just get to the conclusion.
Writing this review I realised that this is the worse anime I've watched. This is worse than school days. This is worse than Rent-A-Girlfriend. This is even worse than Masamune-kun's revenge. Everything about this anime is simply bad. You cannot actually rate animes a 0, so technically its a 0.5 on my profile. However for reviews you can, so it will have a 0. Have a good day, stay safe and never watch this shitshow.
