Yuuki Rito...lucky guy. The story of To Love-Ru revolves around Rito Yūki, a high-school student who cannot confess to the girl of his dreams, Haruna Sairenji. One day when coming home and sulking in the bathtub, a mysterious, nude girl appears out of nowhere. Her name is Lala and she comes from the planet Deviluke, where she is the heir to the throne. Her father wants her to return to her home planet so she can marry one of the husband candidates. But she decides that she wants to marry Rito in order to stay on Earth. Commander Zastin has been ordered to bring Lala back and has already battled Rito. He reports to the emperor that Rito would be suited to marry Lala, after hearing Rito, who was actually defending himself instead of Lala, says that marriage is impossible unless it is with the person you love. Lala truly falls in love with Rito and decides that she wants to marry Rito after hearing what he said. Her father decides that, if Rito is able to protect Lala from her fiancés, then he can marry her, but if Rito cannot protect Lala from her other fiancés and meet the king's expectations, Lala's father will kill Rito and destroy the Earth. This series has its kicks and takes a few hits, too. As is the usual, it's based off of a manga and the story does start to differ quite a bit towards the end. Always a fan of the harem series and Yukii's harem just keeps on growing it seems...even if he's not aware of it. Nice variety of characters even if they are a bit of the stereotypical personalities you expect from this genre. Was annoyed by the soundtracks to start, but they're actually quite catchy and I want to buy them now -_- To Love Ru actually took me a lot longer to watch than I thought it would. 26 episodes is going to naturally, but I spread it out over a couple months. Something after the first disc just didn't make me want to rush through it all. It's a decent series, but isn't fantastic. The main male, Yuuki, is your really typical non-decisive guy with just a little bit of a backbone (only when it counts#. Blu-ray quality would have been great, too. Came out in 2009, but the graphics seem a bit dated. Having read the manga first, I came expecting a little bit more. Lala's sisters never make an appearance and the ending is changed up a bit, too. This works...except for the fact that To Love Ru: Darkness is about to start airing in October 2012 and you need those events to flow smoothly from one to the other. Different studios, so we'll see how that goes. Overall, it's a decent series. Actually a bit tamer than the manga which is almost at a doujinshi level. No extras to really speak of and the discs don't have individual slots #they just sit on top of each other with nothing in between). However, the price is good for a 2 season, 4-disc set. Pick it up if you like the genre.
