Just letting everyone know that Ayako has just released the first episode of To-LOVE-Ru. I am downloading it now, it another show that is supposed to have romance which is my weakness so I am going to give it a shot.

It should be no surprise by now that if it looks like it might be decent and has romance in it I will at least try watching it. :p

i watched the raw awhile back - just some slight changes from the manga, but it was still enjoyable to watch. i have a feeling there will be more change to adapt it for the amount episode they plan on doing.generally the story hasn't ventured much in the manga so i don't expect any changes to really effect it negatively.

the romance in it is average one you see in most shounen series - massive fan service. lots of comedy, based of those two items. if you are fan of this theme then you will enjoy it.

edit: pretty disappointed no Special A raw yet was hoping to watch it before school

Meh, not a fan of fan service but I'll still give it a chance. Don't get me wrong I don't have a problem with things if it makes sense for the story/relationship progression but then I guess it really can't be considered fan service. Some good series do have a lot of fan service so I just have to hope shows are good enough to make up for it.

I am waiting for a sub for Special A so I will have to wait longer then you. :p

Oh Kure-nai was released by BSS.

Last season I didn't start downloading things till after the season was on its way so I already had a good idea what was decent. This season I am downloading right away so it will probably be hit and miss.

To-Love-Ru charm really comes from the fan service - it sets up majority of the situations that occur in the manga and probably the best comedy to result from it as well. as for the story/relationship progression its been pretty slow in the manga - that is the rest why i want to watch the anime since its restricted to a time frame. i believe it is getting 26 episodes, but they could just end it with nothing happening as well (i'm hoping for something to happen)

Kure-nai has lovely art out of the more newer series just so you know. the story itself reminds me of Aishiteruze Baby - this is just base off the first episode though. i'm probably going to stick to it because the art and music really got me into it. i'm hoping it either goes further into action or into romance to make the story even more interesting.

Special A will probably be ready with a raw later today and a sub maybe by tuesday or wednesday - it seems all the groups are trying to release asap for the newer series. Soul Eater and Vampire Knight airs today too.

well, let's hope something happens xD

The love isn't really advancing in the manga <.<
I'm actually hoping for Sairenji, but then again also for lala, it's really difficult to chose >_<
I'm hoping he can pick both, it'd be unique since it doesn't happen (much?) in manga's.

04-07-2008, 04:22 PM
planning on watching this too. Haha sounds like the trouble i had with shuffle pretty much all the girls were likable so you couldnt really choose one over the other and he couldnt go wrong with choosing Asa.

Scorched
04-07-2008, 06:17 PM
Well the first episode wasn't horrible and after Lala's initial introduction there really wasn't any fan service. Still have to wait a few episodes but so far I don't mind it.

As for Shuffle, Asa was my favorite female early on but Sia could have possibly become my favorite if she could have had a bit more time in the spot light.

)v(anic
04-07-2008, 06:32 PM
i still need to watch ep 1 but i have been watching Myself/Yourself which has been pretty good.

as to shuffle Nerine has always been my fav then asa and primula were in second.

Scorched
04-07-2008, 07:10 PM
I will be watching Myself/Yourself pretty soon here as well, I have it but I started watching Seto no Hanayome. So I have to finish that first.[/URL] [URL="http://myanimelist.net/anime.php?id=2104"] (http://myanimelist.net/anime.php?id=2104)

if asa is the green haired one, then yeah, I too was voting for her, but it actually came as a shock that they got together, a happy shock that is, because I didn't think they would end up together.

)v(anic
04-07-2008, 07:34 PM
haha Seto no Hanayome isnt that the one with the mermaides if so it was pretty good the ending is funny too. M/Y is pretty good its got some drama going on now it kinda has a wore out storyline but its still pretty good.

Yeah Asa-sempai is the green haired girl. She was a hot tomboy and like i said you couldnt go wrong with choosing her she was my fav in the show. My fav girl tho is Nerine i was kinda sad they didnt do much with her in the show.

Scorched
04-07-2008, 07:44 PM
Yeah it is the one with the Mermaids. I wasn't sure if I was going to like it after the first couple of episodes but it gets better the farther in you go. Or at least so far anyway.

)v(anic
04-07-2008, 09:39 PM
wow you should drop that and watch M/Y i take back what i said about worn out story as it progressed there were soo many drama filled plot twists it was sooo goood i cant believe i hadnt seen it. Plus at the end you get a 10 years later so you see what happens.

umibozu
04-07-2008, 10:30 PM
lol you guys went off on a tangent from harem to drama - anyways i liked all the series that were listed shuffle, myself yourself and seto no hanayome. for the shuffle i wanted kaede - myself yourself was also a decent ending for something that turned all crazy near the end and seto was just pure comedy all the way through.

but back to to-love-ru, i would hope he picks lala - haruna had plenty of time. anyways going to check out special a, soul eater and vampire knights now.

)v(anic
04-07-2008, 10:35 PM
lol M/Y was all sorts of craziness i was like wth every episode around the end there. Made you wonder how they all survived their childhood.

haha shuffle i bet it was love at 1st site with that box cutter, eh?

Finally watch this episode its alright nothing spectacutally but i will still watch it.

umibozu
04-07-2008, 10:58 PM
you better believe it )v(anic i love crazy girls that hurt the ones they love.

as for to-love-ru ya there isn't anything in particular that makes it stick out since most of the other series you guys have been discussing every have something more or less crazy about it. like i said i'm only watching it to find out if there is going to be a decision that is made in here that hasn't been made yet in the manga.

)v(anic
04-07-2008, 11:10 PM
haha well at that point i dont think she was lovin him too much. Keada was a sympithetic character and rin did act like an ass with her during that arc, but i never really saw them as a possible couple.

well the only thing thats good about this is the semi cute succubus tail she has and its that kinda fantasy harem genre that can be funny.

Scorched
04-07-2008, 11:12 PM
Well I won't be dropping it (Seto no Hanayome), but don't you worry I will get to M/Y soon enough. My work schedule is crappy so I don't have much free time during my work week so I watch a couple of episodes a day before work. Plus I have 3 day weekends usually, ten hour workdays, so I can usually knock out a bunch then too. Unless it's really nice out, in which case I have to escape to the outside world for awhile.

)v(anic
04-08-2008, 01:39 AM
haha i loaded all my classes in 2 days so i get 5 days off in between my classes soo i can do marathons for anime. I watched 4 eps last nite went to bed and knocked off the remaining eps this afternoon. I think it took 3 days for me to do Seto cus it got a lil dull sometimes. hayate has takin me 3 weeks cus even tho its awesome i gotta take a break from it

Scorched
04-08-2008, 01:48 AM
When I was still in school my best schedule ended up having Thursday off. I wasn't very lucky, I always ended up having to take at least one class on Friday or Monday. Though believe me, I would much rather be back in school then working where I am now. If I didn't owe so much in student loans I probably would still be in school.

Of course I always have an eye out for new jobs but I don't want to take anything, it has to be something better. Haha, so if any of you want to hire me... :p

I am getting slowly caught back up on Anime, I was so far behind.

04-08-2008, 02:41 AM
well i go to a small college plus i am in CJ so classes are easy and normally the 1 day 3 hr type. And Oh yeah i am gonna hate when i get a real job haha these easy days are gonna be out the window

you get use to those things when you start working - where the hell did the To-Love-Ru discussion go ???? then again we need probably a couple more episodes for any actual discussion to happen anyways.

)v(anic
04-08-2008, 06:44 AM
haha well its basically just the same group of us who post on here so i like this lax discussions we do. I mean we get off topic for a bit then once new material comes out we then switch back over. Like ya said to only 1 ep is out so not a whole lot ya can discuss

Scorched
04-14-2008, 05:05 AM
Another update for you all, Ayako has episode 2 out.

)v(anic
04-14-2008, 05:27 AM
yup yup it was ok but not as funny as kanokon and i could do without the transformation sequence since its just a waste of air time. Next ep it looks like its gonna dive into the harem drama so it should be better.

umibozu
04-14-2008, 05:38 AM
the transformation is just sound fan service - both To-Love-Ru and Kanokon just have the fan service pushed down and stuck with tape. i'm hoping a bit more of the story elements to come out otherwise it will get boring.

)v(anic
04-14-2008, 05:47 AM
eh theres other ways to have fan service without doing those all the damn time. Ya it needs some plot soon cus so far its just less ecchi version of kanokon.

Scorched
04-14-2008, 05:51 AM
Well I haven't watched the next episode yet but less Ecchi, more romance/plot for me. I have no problem with them showing the female form, but come on have a reason besides "because we can".

Again not a slight against those of you who like fan service, just my own personal opinion.

umibozu
04-14-2008, 05:55 AM
well i will still watch it even if starts to bomb - but i am putting my expectations a bit lower for those two.

)v(anic
04-14-2008, 06:31 AM
haha even tho i like ecchi comedies i am not really a fan of useless fanservice i mean its funny in kanokon cus she is stripping her clothes and trying to raype the kid

Fiendish_Imp
04-14-2008, 06:36 AM
If i want the story (however thin it may be haha) i read the Manga. But The anime is all for the fanservice which this Series is amazing for.

umibozu
04-14-2008, 06:38 AM
well both To-Love-Ru and Kanokon are just a fan service buffet. you at least see some good side boob in each episode so far. i think that will be my game now for them while i watch ~ :)

Fiendish_Imp
04-14-2008, 06:41 AM
haha a side Boob counter?

umibozu
04-14-2008, 06:48 AM
i'll start it for the next To-Love-Ru episode but we can't count the opening and ending sequence. i'll post my results then

Fiendish_Imp
04-14-2008, 08:00 AM
Sounds like a plan

Znail
04-14-2008, 09:16 AM
Boobs...Sekirei the animation is comming later. I wonder if they will do the physical checkup omake...:catman:

Personaly I think both ToLoveRU and Kanokon are more commedy then ecchi. Atleast I am laughing alot when watching :)

Fiendish_Imp
04-14-2008, 09:17 AM
i was laughing a lot when i read code eross, thats doesn't means its not still hentai haha. I hope they have it long enough that the scene from my sig is animated so i can get a fancy color pic.

Znail
04-14-2008, 09:22 AM
Hehe, I didnt mean that it wasnt an ecchi series, just that they worked harder on making it fun then on just fan service.:Jump_Roll:

Fiendish_Imp
04-14-2008, 09:24 AM
its hard to make that case. Besides pretty much actual hentai series, To-Love-Ru is one of the series with the most ecchi scenes ever. Sure its still funny and whatnot, but that just shows that the series is actually decent enough to pull off that much ecchi whilst still being able to have a fairly fun and co medical plot line to it.

joaotwix
04-14-2008, 02:33 PM
To-Love-Ru is quite the great combo of ecchi with a great deal of genders while balancing all ot the types perfectly.. so it doens't feel perverted while reading it xD

there is a lot of ecchi scenes but the since the story is interesting you don't really give that much of a deal to it.. you're drawn into the story and the ecchi is just a wonderful bonus ^^

Peku
04-14-2008, 02:36 PM
In the case of To-Love-Ru I don't mind the ecchiness at all. Ecchi or not, it's still one of me fav mangas :p I still prefer the artist's previous manga tho.

umibozu
04-17-2008, 11:33 PM
so episode 3 is out raw surprisingly the side boob count was pretty low - i counted 6 and 2 of them were from previous episode :lol: there you go Imp

Fiendish_Imp
04-18-2008, 06:52 AM
What thats it? Well i guess after ep 2 which had like an amazing amount they cool it off a bit.

umibozu
04-18-2008, 06:57 AM
well episode 2 had about 6 as well but no previous shots.

Fiendish_Imp
04-18-2008, 06:59 AM
Well either way that number is pretty large all things considered haha. But thats why this show rocks haha

I only read the manga haven't watched anime

Fiendish_Imp
04-18-2008, 07:11 AM
well basically its just more fanservice than the manga already gives haha.

umibozu
04-18-2008, 07:12 AM
well you aren't missing much - i honestly feel Rito is more annoying in the anime, but that could be from it starting from the beginning again. i personally think the manga has more fanservice (i.e. girls with skirts falling on Rito's face, magic spells opening shirts) this type is focus on the chest.

phae2y
04-18-2008, 07:15 AM
i think the characters look ugly in the anime, haruna and lala aren't as cute as in the manga. (T_T)

Fiendish_Imp
04-18-2008, 07:16 AM
i suppose, there just something different feeling when watching it, but ya its still good i guess. I just wonder if it will be like a short 12 ep thing or if they will actually invest more into it.

umibozu
04-18-2008, 07:17 AM
26 episodes have been announced and i believe Kanokon is the one that is short 12 or 13

Fiendish_Imp
04-18-2008, 07:19 AM
oh i was going to ask if an actully number had come out. 26 nice thats more than i was expecting.

yami_no_tenshi1563
04-18-2008, 07:20 AM
well not that interested in the anime though the manga is quite good

umibozu
04-18-2008, 07:21 AM
they could potential get to where the manga is now - not sure how they plan on ending it though

Fiendish_Imp
04-18-2008, 07:22 AM
ya amazingly enough the story actully gets substance later on, its just a matter if they want to try to take it down that path and not just have it a 26 ep bunch of nothing

umibozu
04-18-2008, 07:23 AM
well the story is finally picking up though in episode 3 - so it should be easy to see where it is heading now in terms of the manga

Fiendish_Imp
04-18-2008, 07:25 AM
is ep 3 like skip to the ep where she starts walking around the streets naked almost?

umibozu
04-18-2008, 07:28 AM
well i'll write everything in a spoiler just so i don't get any bellyaching
ya thats pretty much what happens and it involves the aquarium event, but instead of berzerk penguins you get a couple situations that let you see side boob!

Fiendish_Imp
04-18-2008, 07:29 AM
i'll take side boobs over crazy penguins any day i guess haha

umibozu
04-18-2008, 07:32 AM
most would - only militant "anime must follow manga story" would disagree i suppose

Fiendish_Imp
04-18-2008, 07:33 AM
haha i suppose. But considering the nature of the story, its hard to argue against an excessive boob scene

umibozu
04-18-2008, 07:36 AM
well i think we will become desensitized by it soon. that will be a dark day

Fiendish_Imp
04-18-2008, 07:37 AM
haha thats when you add some vegetables full of vitamin H to boost your perverted system xD

umibozu
04-18-2008, 07:38 AM
well that would involve a bunny suit girl with a carrot

Fiendish_Imp
04-18-2008, 07:39 AM
I'm sure there are other possible combinations also

umibozu
04-18-2008, 07:41 AM
Yami in To-Love-Ru wears a bunny suit just need to give her a vegetable. at least she looks older when she is wearing that :lol:

04-18-2008, 05:59 PM
well the manga got a bit more interesting now chapter 97 that is

so what do you think yami ?
siblings / relatives / friends from devilluke ?

meh, I don't like yami, she's annoying, but convenient versus opponents and thus also boring and lame.

I like Yami-chan , but I don like Ren ( of what ever his name is) Lala's childhood friend.
Currently reading To Love Ru manga at chapter 63.
I love it so far. As for the fan service, hmm , lets just say that I like animated echii scenes more than manga ones.
Seto was GREAT !!!!!!!!!!

04-19-2008, 12:23 AM
is 97 out already? raw or translated? where?! want that..

and yami is more of another way of getting out of trouble ( tough enemy, etc) but i believe that rito might beat them in the future with a lala's invention

umibozu
04-19-2008, 12:44 AM
wow you guys - i was actually talking to yami_no_tenshi1563. wasn't talking about yami in to-love-ru. anyways its raw joaotwix probably translated during this weekend

friends from devilluke

umibozu

it depends on how they plan on arranging it for all the characters to get some development - especially since they introduced most of the important players in the opening sequence

umibozu
04-21-2008, 10:05 AM
ya i know i'm just messing around - anyways i'm actually looking forward to the next chapter of the manga. i thought it was going to just stay stuck in the same old routine, then again it could still happen. as for the anime - i'm just hoping rito stops complaining as much but thats his character.

yami_no_tenshi1563
04-21-2008, 10:07 AM
haha and I like DGM characters like that and I knew you were messing around I wasn't angry or anything and I do hope that rito stops complaining in the anime since his voice is also kinda not suitable for him so it's irritating

umibozu
04-21-2008, 10:11 AM
well i'm starting to feel they purposely wanted his voice to sound that way to hear his rants about how bad his love life is and blah blah blah. in this case it made an impact but in a way where we are starting to dislike him for being a cry baby (even though he does it a lot in the manga too)

yami_no_tenshi1563
04-21-2008, 10:13 AM
Yup maybe it's just the manga doesn't have a voice that's why we can't get that irritated but then you may be right that it was meant for his complaining blah blah

Znail
04-21-2008, 10:15 AM
I think I would cry if all that crapp that happened to him while he tried to confess happened to me :hurt:

yami_no_tenshi1563
04-21-2008, 10:17 AM
haha yup that would suck really he's just so unlucky

Znail
04-21-2008, 10:23 AM
I like to watch the anime before I read the manga, that way the voices never bothers me as I havent formed any oppinion of the voices before I watch. I also like the way that you get a better image of characters from an anime so I form a view of how they are before I later read the usualy longer story of the manga.

yami_no_tenshi1563
04-21-2008, 10:24 AM
Well I guess people have their own ways though I find it better to read the manga first to see if the one who made the anime is doing a good job or just made an anime for the sake of creating one and I also hate too much fillers which some animes have

umibozu
04-21-2008, 11:13 PM
well it could be on the other side of the coin too - quite a bit filler happens in manga too sometimes but it usually comes in the form of extended fight sequences.

joaotwix
04-21-2008, 11:17 PM
starting with the anime is better because most of the time they cut things off and it's fun to find out those little things they cut.. it get's more interesting.. a great example is DNAngel - started with the anime and then read the manga wich has some serious story line changes but in another also good way.. it's almost like reading to diiferent stories with the same characters and plot

yami_no_tenshi1563
04-22-2008, 03:32 AM
Well I guess we can start with either it just depends on the person but I always preferred manga for it was always more detailed and sometimes the anime changers the story in some cases like FMA

umibozu
04-22-2008, 04:07 AM
i prefer whichever is longer assuming that the story stays interesting

)v(anic
04-22-2008, 04:12 AM
i prefer the anime sticking with the manga with no changes to the main story unless the manga is a piece of junk and needs to be fixed.

yami_no_tenshi1563
04-22-2008, 04:42 AM
Well yup that's good too but some good mangas are ruined by the anime because of too much fillers like Naruto

umibozu
04-22-2008, 04:48 AM
meh it happens - fillers will be always be there as long as they know they have a good amount of people who just want to be fed something concerning the title.

yami_no_tenshi1563
04-22-2008, 04:49 AM
Yup it's easy to make fillers for this anime since as long as it has fanservice it'll be appreciated

Fiendish_Imp
04-22-2008, 08:31 AM
not quite theres a line, buts it just pretty hard to cross it haha

umibozu
04-22-2008, 08:42 AM
i cross that line regularly

Znail
04-22-2008, 11:02 AM
Naruto is actualy a good example of why I prefer fillers over the alternative. The later episodes have been rather slow as they are dragging out the action so as not to need fillers. I prefer if they use the main story at a faster pace and add fillers when needed.

yami_no_tenshi1563
04-22-2008, 11:33 AM
Yup that is good but then like Naruto there is too much fillers than needed

Ilesyt
04-22-2008, 11:39 AM
well, otherwise, you get bored with the story if it drags on too long <.<

Like when naruto was chasing deidara, like how long was he chasing him ? For like 6-7 episodes ?

Znail
04-22-2008, 12:05 PM
Yupp. The basic problem is that the manga doesnt provide enuff story to keep up with a weekly release of anime episodes. So the alternatives as either increase amount of manga produced, drag out the story or add filler story. Increasing the amount of manga would ofcourse be best, but that isnt in the hands of the anime producers. So its either drag out or fill in. I prefeer fill in as then the main story is atleast keept at a fast pace and if you realy hate fillers then you can skip those episodes or fast forward.

yami_no_tenshi1563
04-22-2008, 12:09 PM
Well basically that's it since I think To-LOVE-ru would not end up like Naruto where the filler episodes reached like half of the number of episodes. Maybe it would just be like Bleach where the it follows the storyline and only puts fillers when needed

Ilesyt
04-22-2008, 12:19 PM
well, fillers with naruto pwning ppl would be nice to get our hopes up <.<

Znail
04-22-2008, 12:29 PM
I dont think To-LOVE-ru have the same kind of issues and its not realy that important to keep up with the exact same story either. I think Bleach is an example where they did something nice with fillers as they added an entire new story arc once. It might not have been an 'official' story but atleast it was better then a pile of one shot storys.

yami_no_tenshi1563
04-22-2008, 12:31 PM
Yup but then back to To-LOVE-Ru what do you think will happen in the next chapter?

Ilesyt
04-22-2008, 01:10 PM
most likely they'll announce that the oldest sisters husband is the younger sisters husband too in deviluke :X

yami_no_tenshi1563
04-22-2008, 01:12 PM
haha or because of a series of events that would happen the three of them would fight over Rito poor Haruna if that happens

Peku

Oh yami-chaaan!~ I have a feeling ya mean Rito, although I don't mind Riku either~

well, it's an other kind of fan service then kanokon if I may add.

umibozu
04-23-2008, 10:53 PM
kanokon has "pushed the envelope" in terms of fan service - if they push it anymore it should just be a soft core hentai.

for to-love-ru they really aren't exploring it more like in the manga. its mostly focus on lala's breast at the moment, only the opening has other shots (ie pantsu)

episode 4 had only 2 actual side boob were counted since it was just a different angle each time. they did a decent job at somewhat increasing the fan service, but the episode felt like filler to me. they had my favorite equation in there - DarkBlood knows which one i'm talking about.

DarkBlood
04-25-2008, 06:03 AM
Heheh. :p Good equation indeed.

umibozu
04-25-2008, 05:59 PM
the new chapter of the manga (raw) came out already as well. mostly closure on the events that happen in the world that was created - even better and funnier fan service in that one.

The last five minutes of episode four is so inhumanly weird. And Zastin is the best comical relief in history.

MidnightTide

and the preview didn't show what happened to all those squid....like how are they going to explain that??

but Lala cookin in the nude FTW.

Who need's an explanation? We saw giant squids fighting over Lala. :p

umibozu
05-02-2008, 05:59 AM
so episode 5 - pretty decent - 5 side boob shots. story wise not exactly what happens in the manga, but close enough

Fiendish_Imp
05-02-2008, 06:35 AM
ooh 5 thats a pretty decent number i'd say haha. Maybe they have decided to make the number of side boob shots relative to the episode number, can;t wait for ep 26 or whatever if thats the case haha.

umibozu
05-02-2008, 06:36 AM
ya i suppose could have been better i think - next episode is pretty similar to the manga from the previews

DarkBlood
05-02-2008, 10:00 AM
Five sideboob shots? Not a bad number. :p
Is it just ne that likes Zastin? xD The most weird bastard ever.

Ilesyt
05-02-2008, 02:03 PM
rofl, the boobshots relative to the number of episodes xD

in episode 26, there would be atleast 1 boob shot in a min, even less then a minute :X

DarkBlood
05-02-2008, 02:05 PM
In episode 26 I hope there will be boobshots ever 10th second. ^___^

joaotwix
05-02-2008, 10:54 PM
although too many boobshots simply removes the story and make it look ridiculous..

and they kinda ruined the end of ep4.. too many squids..

umibozu
05-02-2008, 10:56 PM
Five sideboob shots? Not a bad number. :p
Is it just ne that likes Zastin? xD The most weird bastard ever.

i personally like the way they made Zastin here - he seems to get more face time and they made him the way you described earlier as a comic relief. as for the side boob it varies - and i'm pretty picky about what counts so the actually number may be lower or higher depending on your opinion

DarkBlood
05-02-2008, 11:03 PM
When I first saw Zastin I thought "Oh my gawd, that'll be the uber cool dude or something."

no actually the suit is quite cool-looking, it doesn't really suit his personality, maybe it does to his looks.

The suit is cool, his personality is a big no no.
I can't see what's so comical with that armor? O_o

joaotwix
05-03-2008, 10:58 PM
it's comical because it doesnt suit the guy that's wearing it...

I was discussing that this is much better then kanokon which doesn't have any plot only the ecchi.

and this which contains both + romance.

The comedy, plot and romance are at a much higher and better level then kanokon, kanokon lose in all those views against TLR

yami_no_tenshi1563
05-04-2008, 07:08 PM
Well that is true and of course To-love-ru would be more appealing to boys since it has ecchi
