Both are pure service anime made for your amusement. Yes, there is harem as well as overly jiggly boobs. If you liked Rosario+Vampire, then you'll love Tu-LOVE-Ru, or otherwise. The female lead role both have lovely pink hair.

Very close, both of them have aliens and a lot of ecchi moments with a bit of action.

the main plots are very simmilar, the bigest differance is in the main characters. in To-Love-Ru the main character is shy and in-experanced with girls. but in Urusei Yatsura the main charater thinks of himself as a lady killer.

In both, MC likes a certain girl and that girl likes him back (for similar reasons too), but is (sort of) forced into a relationship with another girl.... Circumstances are pretty similar in both. The difference here is that Nisekoi is not ecchi nor supernatural.

A normal guy falls inlove with an alien girl. These girls don't know much about the planet Earth so they do some weird things while living at there "lover" place. Even through the guys don't have parents living at there house, so both of these animes are very similar...

When I started watching Monster Musume the first anime that fell into my mind was To Love Ru. Both anime's have a male character who gets his life turned upside down because of alien girls moving into his house. In Monster Musume it is a part of a human/alien treaty to improve the relationship between humans and these monster girls. In To Love Ru it is a princess running away to avoid a forced marriage and instead wanted the main character from that anime as his partner. As a result in this anime. The main characters gets into a lot of trouble caused by a harem of girls. A  read more

Both are about attractive female aliens that invade a males house and go to school. They both have to marry the male, against the male's wishes. The plots are practically the same, but I will not say in which cases because my reasons are spoilers.

Here's the one thing Why it's so similiar when the genres are so differ? The characters... Understand?? Blonde loli who can control her hair as much as she wants.. They're considered as powerful & dangerous weapon Kirisaki Kyouko (Same name) Not to mention Tearju-sensei is there too (Same chara) So, what do you waiting for? For Black Cat watcher... Watch out for To-Love Ru dangerous "plot" and nosebleed xD

They are both supernatural harems so they are similar in a lot of respects. The characters parallel each other and in both series, the male lead is forced by the father to marry his daughter and become the heir to a throne. Great mixtures of comedy and relationships.

the similarities between the two are pretty evident if you seen both of them. they both have hot alien chicks they pop out of nowhere and get caught up with a guy. also, both male characters end up having most of the women characters like him. the plot and genre are what's similar but the characters themselves are pretty different.

Loser highschooler gets supernatural girlfriend which cascades into every girl around him thinking he's awesome, nonsensical comedic moments ensue. To Love Ru is themed more consistently on a new alien every episode and has a lot more ecchi to the point it gets tiring but still has enough chaos to be entertaining while Jitsu Watashi quickly mixes fantasy and sci fi themes with a bit less crazy things but the ecchi is much more controlled. Both female leads are sort of air heads, main difference is Lala invents more things to get the gang in trouble (and again, ecchi is more common with her show)  read more

It has to do with a bunch of girls falling in love with a honestly sweet guy.It also has alot of ecchi and comedy.

both have boys suddenly thrown into relationships with unlikely partners 
report Recommended by coros
Both attempt sci-fi, except in TLR it is almost deflated. Lala keeps inventing gizmos and the only thing the narrative comes up with is the same exact comedic routines invariably involving the protagonist falling, with inevitable coincidences. Lala in Yami happens to be an AI in a spaceship that cares for children for one particular reason... Yami has so much depth to it, TLR tried to have bits of romance too, only to fall flat on its face (literally, often), whereas the romance in Yami can be funny and deep at the same time, with added existential complications.

Your daily life is filled with aliens (or alien-like beings)!? Katekyo Hitman Reborn! and To Love-Ru both starts with two teenage boys who aren't achieving much in life, when an alien-being steps into their daily lives. This alien being (Lala/Reborn) creates a brand new hectic daily life for the boys, where an interesting cast of characters follow along from their introduction. At the start, both shows main focus are the comedic aspects between the characters. After 20 or so episodes for both, the shows begin to introduce more serious story arcs, with character backgrounds, growth and stakes. To Love-Ru, however, is also ecchi and harem, while Katekyo Hitman  read more

If you like To-LOVE-Ru then you should check out Goshuushou-Sama Ninomiya-kun. I think the anime is a little simalar because Mayu and Lala are like-like Aliens (maybe)

Men are from earth and hot sexy babes to fall into your laps are from space. Tenchi is older than To LOVE-Ru, but the themes are similar. Both MC's are clueless about the feelings of the aliens have for them and the heroines of both shows are of royalties too. Both fall for the protangist for unknown reasons and everyone (girls that is) in the universe wants in on the party. Lucky guys.

Both are harem, ecchi, comedy, romance, and school. Both have clueless main characters, though To Love Ru is even more clueless. Both main characters think their sisters are attractive.  
report Recommended by BadSuns
Other than being a harem, both anime takes place in a normal city. Normal guy gets dragged by an energetic heroine and someone's out to assassinate him. The protagonist is also expected to be a great man someday. Oh, and the heroine is of royalty. There are plenty of characters with similar personalities, like a tsundere, a sister who does all the cooking, cleaning, etc. Finally, it deals with supernatural phenomenon (one is sci-fi, the other is magic).

These two animes have a similar theme of several beautiful woman longing to be in a relationship with the lead man. The playful and comedic style of anime results in many 'misunderstood' scandalous situations on the leads behalf. To LOVE-Ru is a bit less serious than Ai Yori Aoshi.

So here's how the two are similar: - Both shows have aliens in them. (Nyaruko and Lala Satalin Deviluke) - Both shows have male characters who are somewhat tsundere-like to the female character. - Both shows are hilarious. (Although I like "Haiyore! Nyaruko-san W" more) - Both shows are somewhat ecchi-like. (Actually To Love-Ru is ecchi) If you love to laugh a lot, then you're gonna love "Haiyore! Nyaruko-san W" or the prequel "Haiyore! Nyaruko-san."

Do you like watching hentai? Do you dislike going to sketchy hentai websites? Then these anime are perfect for you. These anime are borderline hentai, meaning they have the ability to get you hard. You can also find them on 'safe' anime streaming websites. Meaning you don't have to worry about getting viruses from sketchy hentai websites. Hope this helps :)

Both are very similar in many ways. The obvious being that the main girl who is an alien princess ends up coming from space and living with the main character. The only notable differences is that UFO is far less ecchi. Aside from that they are more or less the same with a similar harem feel to it, however on my opinion UFO is done better.

You've watched To Love-ru and are wanting more. What if Lala really was a demon rather than an alien from Deviluke? Well, Vermeil has got you covered there. And she covers the mc- all over. Lala may be pure but Vermeil has little shame. See if you'd want to swap some mana with Vermeil. There's also a pink haired girl into the mc in Vermeil; so no missing out in that department either.

The MC, Kodaka, in Boku Wa has his act together better than Rito in To Love-ru; they are school students and both get a harem. Alexis Tipton VA'd for Lala in To Love-ru and VA'd for Rika in Boku Wa.

They are very similar in terms of fanservice and comedy; however it feels that To LOVE-Ru is more thought out and engaging as opposed to Amaenaide yo, which has one purpose: fanservice. If you like ecchi, try Amaenaide yo. If you like half ecchi, half actual relationships, try To LOVE-Ru.

I believe between that the two series are similar because Rito(To Love-Ru) and Teppei (Princess Lover) are the main protagonists. Those two individuals were force into marriage and have trouble with girls. I believe those two have different affairs and different personalities. If you like To Love-Ru you'll like Princess Lover.

Golden Darkness and Fate Testarossa are very similar characters; you may feel as you're watching another story about this mysterious blonde girl. TLR have lots of ecchi and is for a bit older viewers but MSLN is for all age. Golden Darkness is probably based on Fate Testarossa because To Love-Ru have a lot of parody elements, not only Magical Girls.
