Motto To LOVE-Ru

Motto To LOVE-Ru WOOOOW, okay. If you’re interested in watching the To LOVE-Ru series, skip the first season and start with Motto To LOVE-Ru instead. I know I know, why in the world would I say this when I thought that To LOVE-Ru was a pretty good first season? Well the answer is mega simple; To LOVE-Ru ends in a way that lets Motto start off in a very much “let’s start all over” again sort of way. It’s ecchier/lewder, the art style is changed/upgraded to match the To LOVE-Ru ecchi aspects and it’s a huge over haul. Sure, it may take a while toget used to the characters, since there is a ton of girls to remember, but honestly, starting with Motto is far far far better. It’s not just art that changed too; the way the episodes are shown has changed as well. Instead of being forced to watch a 23 minute episode of sometimes archaic and rather ridiculous scenarios, Motto To LOVE-Ru employs a new tactic, each episode (except for the last one) is cut into 5-9 minute chunks; what this means is that in a 23 minute episode, we the viewers, are able to watch 3 different plots/stories/scenes/thing…. It works so unbelievably well; since the biggest issue I had with To LOVE-Ru (even if I didn’t mention it) was how dragged out some episodes were, especially since To LOVE-Ru was 2-cour. Motto To LOVE-Ru takes what To LOVE-Ru did really well in and makes it a whole ton better, it also fixes all the issues I had with the first season. If you really like the older art style (I know I liked it a ton), you can give To LOVE-Ru a watch, but aside from knowing who’s who, you’re not missing much by skipping the first season, that’s my honest opinion. Motto starts off a little later in time after To LOVE-Ru ended and the first episode, the first 10 seconds, really sets off with a “Hey you, yeah…you, you’re watching this for lewd ecchi goodness, don’t forget that”. Momo, Lala’s younger sister is in Yuuki’s bed and her head is near his crotch, so uhm, yeah it’s the perfect way to introduce everyone back into the To LOVE-Ru universe. Because of the episodic changes, Motto actually has 36 “episodes” and each episode is executed perfectly. To LOVE-Ru did a poor job giving meaning to the girls, Motto fixes this big time. Each girl gets at least one “episode” of exposition, I’d honestly say most get around 2 and then some. This makes it a lot easier to understand why they like Yuuki to begin with and that’s huge, giving characters a reason is something all anime should strive for, even if it’s a shameless ecchi anime. Yami, Mikan, Saki, Kotegawa, Oshizu, Lala, Haruna, Momo, Nana, Run, Celine, they all have episodes dedicated to them and their feelings, their likes and it’s incredible. Of that entire list, Celine, Momo and Nana are new to To LOVE-Ru; Celine is a super cute sunflower child that Lala gave to Yuuki on his birthday (from the OVA if you paid attention), every time she’s involved in an episode, hilarity ensues and she’s just too adorable!, Nana and Momo are Lala’s imouto, running away from the planet Deviluke, they live with Lala, Mikan and Yuuki. Momo has some of the best episodes in this entire anime and Nana eventually grows to like Yuuki, as additions to the cast, they’re fantastic and entirely lovable

English: I watched "Motto To LOVE-Ru" because I was in kind of a race. The first four days I watched the first season, and then I got to watch the "Motto" season / shorts / specials. I was surprised on how the image quality improved since the first season, but the story itself wasn't something I could enjoy. I was more a break than an actual plot. I really prefer the first season over this one, but it's always good to see more "Plot" than just plot. ¬w¬ Español: Llegué a ver "Motto To LOVE-Ru" porque estaba en un frenesí. En los primeros cuatro días ví la primeratemporada, y enseguida vi la temporada / cortos / especiales de "Motto". Me sorprendió la forma en que la calidad de imagen mejoró desde la primera temporada, pero la historia en sí no fue algo que disfruté. Fue más un descanso que una trama real. Realmente prefiero la primera temporada, pero siempre es bueno ver algo de "Trama" que simple trama. ¬w¬

Well as you probly know motto to LOVE-ru is the sequel To LOVE-ru. They are very alike in alot of aspects but if your looking for more LOLs, ROFLs, and LMAOs then your probly looking for this. With the new season they step up there game by making it much funnier and (not exhilarated) much more perverted i will bet you any amount of money people will wait on the uncensored version for this one. ;) O K first off... Story:9 When you think about it there is not really plot or story to it, its mostly just rito getting himself into hopeless situations and getting beat upafterwards xD There was defiantly more plot in the first season but this one with make you LOL so hard you won't care. Art: 9 Ok, with motto to love-ru they have a whole new way of drawing the characters they are draw completely different (but of course you can who the old characters are). I like the art better than the last one its modern but they do have alot of animation on the chest area if your into that. e.e Sound:8 Not much to rate on sound cause they don't use sound effects alot alot but opening i was fond of and the ending was pretty good too. Characters:10 still the funny as ever characters from to love-ru and more such as lala's sisters Nana, and Momo, and also Celine Enjoyment:9 Very enjoyable and very funny, since theres no main story your just thinking what could happen next and how worse could rito's life could get. Overall:9 Great anime if you like comedy, harem, and ecchi

To love ru or not to love ru? That is the question. Being the first ecchi ever watched, and one of the first 10 anime in general, it held a certain place in my heart as i was exposed to the world of this genre. Captivated by that new experience I remembered it when i saw that a second season was airing. So i tested the waters of the sequel to something that had remained untouchable for so long. Expectation: 7 Episode Scores: -,-,-,-, 7, 6, 7, 8, 7, 7, 9, 7 Actual: 7 (Good) Half as long as the first season, and having a heck lot more materialto work for it is obvious which was superior. I had read the manga, mindlessly mind you, and they picked only the best chapters; or rather they picked the top 36. Divided into 3 parts per episode it stays true to its wacky random antics and everyone gets their fair share of trouble. I mean literally everyone, because they put effort into spliting the air time evenly with all the characters. The majority of the comedy is still dependant on ecchi humor and slapstick. However due to the true comedy format of short segments, there was not that much character development at all. Despite some good scenes, the relationships stayed relatively unchanged and it left me sort of disappointed. It might of been my foolishness in expecting a couple to form when i watched the first season, but i regained that hope only to be shattered yet again. Motto to love-ru gives just that, more to love-ru. It is slightly better than the first season due to it being condensed into only the best parts, but that can only improve it so much.
