Shit show is shit
Although it gets low "satisfaction figures", i'm quite "satisfied" ;]
Tasteless anon is tasteless.
Though yes, OVA #2 wasn't that bad.
Don't mix anime with manga, you lowlife...
To Love-Ru is a quality near-ero manga, its author just milked the same low category hentai scene few hundred times over the limit.
^Overt is right, the manga itself is moar quarity XD
Troll is a troll.
Obvious things are Obvious
cock sucking bitch is a cock sucking bitch
anonymous opinion is shit
Indeed.
i conquer
i fap
It's spelled "concur" in this case.
Good job!
no, that is one of the most ultimate ecchi series out there >.<
Do you know that part of the the book store the mommy never allowed you to browse? Well, guess what, now you're not gonna miss To Love-Ru anymore! ^^
Ah well, it was inevitable. As much as i like to-love-ru i always thought this might happen
Yeah, I wish it would last longer though. Maybe we can get a full second season of the anime though.
the anime was shit. they had so much to take from in the manga, but decided to use only the filler chapters :P
anyway, as long as the manga gets a real ending before it stops, I'll be alright.
What will ishikei draw now
too much fan service.
I never thought I'd read that comment on Sankaku.
you can never have enough service.
Eiken would like a word with you.
I think you can have 'too much' fanservice if it doesn't vary enough to stay interesting.
Najica Blitz Tactics was overloaded with maid panty shots, and one of the Aika series had too many in-your-face panty shots.
That said, NBT had both interesting characters, interesting character interactions, and interesting plot. So I kept watching it (and own the DVDs).
The Aika series with the too many in-your-face panty shots... well, it had an interesting (though improbable) plot.
Not all stories make good vehicles for high levels of fanservice.
To-Love-Ru (the anime) was okay in that regard.
the problem wasn't the service but everything else.
I agree. But I was quite surprised when I found out it To Love-Ru was done by the same author as Black Cat... Such a waste of talent... Doing a harem type manga with no plot, when he could have tried to pull off something better than Black Cat.
Well, it has the same *artist* as Black Cat, but the story for To Love-Ru was written by someone else (unlike with Black Cat where he did both story and art). So perhaps the artist's next project will be another solo work; we'll see...
Well. Supposedly he said he would continue the story of Black Cat...
lol you mean its to much for your age ???
darn, no more Yami to oogle at. maybe she'll be reincarnated yet again in another series.
Should've happened a long time ago. Uninspired fanservice shit you can find anywhere. And to think Double Arts, a series which actually had something going for it, was canceled in favor of this made me rage to no end.
There will be other ecchi series to replace it and more wives to marry.
As long as they end it properly, I am ok with it.
^This
+1
+2
Ending: Rito marries his whole harem including his imouto.
oh well, looks like a series can't live off of pure fanservice alone.
Never really liked it that much but what a shame...
is the brunette in the coloured picture mikan? doesnt look like her.
Aww, if only they have licensed it sooner in america i would've definitly supported To Love Ru. I thought show was very awesome with its' Tenchi-esque drama and comedy. To Love Ru is surely going to be missed and to many others as well. Despite what others think, we all think it was awesome.
Funny how people only compare MANGA to their ANIME counterpart. The manga is awesome, how dare they even consider stopping it.
The Manga is sheet like the Anime.
Keep in mind that some anons are fags.
It can't be helped.
I'd say the anime tried to make up for all the obvious silliness of the manga. It actually felt like there was a proper storyline. They even (badly) made an attempt at originality with the magical Kyouko episode...
Mikan was the only good thing in TLR.
And Momo
I like Tsundere no Yami
And Yami.
I careless if they cancel or not, it was trully a shitty show.
The only reason that it is at the bottom, is due to the fact that most people cannot vote for it. Watch gintama, they stated it right....
"and Naruto is at the top"
Shit taste confirmed.
Yep Shit
TO LOve ru is a great anime for ero fans like me and the fact that SHit anime Naruto is at the top is like Shit
I think they must have the results backwards or they surveyed 10-15 year olds
You need to remember that one quarter to one third of Jump´s readership consist of adult fujyoshi who give ToLoveru thumbs down. It would have been significantly more long long lived in another magazine.
Would not be suprised if Shueisha revives it at some point in another publication.
Hell it was about time. The manga only had fan service so far.
And I want to add that it's an offense to compare this manga with the legendary Urusei Yatsura.
while i liked the character quite a bit, i have to admit it had absolutely no story behind it, and it was too obvious a rip off from Urusei Yatsura
If it's really going to happen, I just wish Yabuki will continue doing Black Cat or a new series... Of course, with Mikan and Yami as spin-off main characters (the same way how he revived Eve and Kyoko from BC in TLR).
Admit it, You just want more Mikan and Yami in your life.
welp... all things have to end...
and IIRC, Kentaro Yabuki wanted to continue the other half of Black Cat.. so maybe we'll be getting more of Black Cat soon..
Translation of the chart?
This. Just to see what else is about to be dropped.
na-na-naruto?
why would they compare a shonen from a comedy
Because the existence of Narutard-ism is comedic..?
Eh, it's about story. Anyways, I'm surprised Naruto still has such a large following on Jump.
fuc7k naruto
I will miss To Love-Ru it was an good series for me I enjoyed every charpter and waited each week MANNNN... I'm really sad now ...
I just wish Yabuki will continue doing an new series… Of course, with Mikan and Yami as spin-off main characters (the same way how he revived Eve and Kyoko from Black Cat in To Love-ru). ▬ω▬
