To Love-Ru - 15 (Dropped)
lol hai guyz im dropping this show bai!1
Summary:
When Zastin is alerted of an approaching ship in space, he quickly goes down to Earth to pick up Lala. Zastin lands in the middle of the school pool while Rito and the others continue their usual antics, then surprising everyone by revealing several of Lala’s true positions. Rito is more shocked, however, when the girls around simply accept that Lala is an alien. In fact, they find it more logical because of her previous unbelievable actions. Zastin quickly ports Rito and Lala up into his ship, but Haruna is confused when she is taken as well. Zastin eventually explains that Lala must meet with royalty known as Kata from the planet Baroz, and that he wanted Rito and Haruna participate in the formalities. Changing into impressive sets of clothing, the group meets with Kata as he and Lala begin to dance. When Rito overhears Kata mention the phrase “space’s best”, he quickly remembers Gid’s words. With this, the group travels to the planet Kari to participate in the challenge that would grant this title.
On the savage planet, Rito is forced to run from several beasts. Haruna is eventually captured by a large gorilla, which Rito is unable to save her from. A group of women seemingly aid Rito eventually, but they reveal that they only have interest in taking him. The leader of these women introduces her group as the Amazoness, then declaring that they will take Rito as their son-in-law. Rito is unable to retaliate while being taken to the group’s village, but Lala suddenly appears before the leader can advance on him. Despite doing very well against the women, even Lala is taken down when her tail is grabbed. Haruna appears afterwards, and with the help of Kong who she had convinced earlier, she successfully saves Rito. When Rito gets closer to Haruna, however, Kong throws him off into the distance in annoyance. Haruna is quickly angered by this, easily having Kong search for Rito again. When Kata witnesses this, he rewards Haruna with the title of “space’s number one”. Haruna almost believes that these events were a dream when she wakes the next day, but seeing the trophy she received, she quickly realizes that this isn’t the case.
Preview: Beach episode and more Run.
Impression:
Sorry, I’ve really been wanted to say that for the past month. I’ve been expressing my hesitation about continuing to cover this show for a few weeks now, and I’ve received quite a few wishes that I would keep at it (probably because of the lack of coverage this show is getting in general), but I’ve just had it. I didn’t have high expectations for this show before it started, and although I did accept it after watching the first few episodes, I quickly realized that this show would turn out to be even less than I hoped for it to be. Probably the only reason I was able to keep talking about it until now was because of my very low show count last season. Now, it’s not that I won’t finish this show. I’ll probably end up completing it like I do with most other bad lovcoms that I can’t seem to give up. But I have pretty much lost any and all motivation I once had to write about it.
The series is simply plagued with problems, all of which I’ve mentioned several times already. The animation is hardly up to standard, and the “plot” has been overshadowed by episodic tales of alien invasions that I really don’t care about. Several people have expressed how much they like the manga, even giving me a few chapters to sample, and I will agree that it is much better than what I have seen so far. But even without having read the manga, it is obvious how bad of an adaption this is. Why are characters introduced, then quickly cast aside for throw away characters who only appear in one episode!? Unfortunately, as much as I tried to defend Xebec before, I’m starting to turn my back to them. This episode only made my impression of the series worse, and it is now certain that I will be dropping coverage for this show. I deeply apologize to those who wanted me to continue blogging it. For now, Random Curiosity and THAT Anime Blog still have writers that can stomach this. Please turn to them for further coverage.

Good job
I’m amazed you lasted this long…I like the character designs, but…yeah.
Amazed are we, you this long suffered. Brain damage, no? Force finally see right made you.

This show is one of the many that is just “How to get into Perverted Position of the week”. The amount of garbage that is doing this is ridiculous. A little H spices things up and improves the taste. Too much H ruins the flavour. Just like cooking. If people really want perversion, just go for the pure stuff instead of half-baked crap.
Thanks for keeping at it ^_^
I don’t blame ya, I dropped this show after the 3rd ep o_O
Good decision, Totali. I want to drop it too but I guess I’ll just endure it since I’m already half way through it T__T. Anyway, manga is still avaiable and I’m still recommend it to everyone XD
GJ Totali. After sooo long. I dropped this right after episode 2
I understand but your timing is a bit puzzling. Didn’t you see the cap with ice cream cone boobs?
Well its about time you dropped this show in the dustbin. I have still not forgiven what Xebecs did to Negima! and since then I have never wanted to watch an anime produce by Xebecs.
Anyway it was a good decision Totali.
Don’t apologize, its a horrible, HORRIBLE show. I only watch it to make fun of Rito. GOD, he sucks…
Agree; the manga is good but for some reason the anime lacks something very important. It’s all over the place, and it’s hard to keep interest in it.
p.s. Run and Ren should have their own show.
When you can’t even MST3000 a show like this, it has to go. Sorry to hear about the drop, but you are made of strong stuff, don’t let anybody tell you different.
Guys, it’s not like I stopped smoking or something. Come on.
This is worse than smoking.
Yeah, it’s more like cutting yourself.
aww
I’m sad yet happy. xD
so he is forced to get married to an amazon queen that rules a tribe of an all women society and they think he is manly because he faced that king kong wannabe on his own and they need to rescue him from this evil fate… yeah… i pretty much gave up my brain on this one…
The anime isn’t much,b ut the manga is much better, in my opinion. It’s still a fanservice / harem story, but there’s a lot more character development (for a harem anyways) than the manga and I found it much more enjoyable.
What a dissapointment.. But all in all.. It did turn to crap.. And people don’t smoke.. It’s bad for you.. (picks a black and mild of his ear and starts smoking) hehehe..
