| As for me im getting sick and tired this pointless fan service, filler with no plot or story what so ever. There are only 2 episodes I enjoyed and that was the one were Haruko lost her memory and the one with Takeru and Aki. To Love-Ru may have a but load of fan service, but at least it stays faithful to the source material and has plot. P.S. I will watch the rest of the 2nd season, but it better do something good at the end or im giving a low rating. |
 |
| I like it better. They shouldn't attempt a story because it's shitty anyways. At least now we get some curvy women ecchi scenes. |

| If you had asked me before episode 8, I would have said I was fine with it. But episode 8 was so bad that it gives me serious second thoughts. |
| At least this episode was better than the last two. |

alexpte said: I so agree.As much as I enjoy fanservice, I must admit the second season is getting pretty ridiculous with it. They should have just adapted the manga series because to be honest, it actually gets really good later on with a great plot. |
|
| Knows it's heavy ecchi no plot, still complains - typical. |
 |
| Why would you ruin this with plot? That's what was wrong with the first series! The fanservice and jokes in this show are great, so they took the great stuff and made it the whole show. Not every anime needs a fucking plot twist filled dramatic plot, jesus christ. |
| This is soo much better in the manga. There is 2 brilliant arc they could have done including the Venus arc and the Yamato Takaru arc. both are epic (for the series at least) fighting storyline that make a whole pile of sense and use Service with it. This series is a insult to the franchise. Even the second ova had stuff from the manga and that had more service then this. |
| Im not one for only ecchi, but Ecchi + comedy = win, for me. I just hate when ecchi's try to have a story (besides To love-ru) they just flat out suck. But I do wish there was some form of fighting Don't really care how, but atleast use your powers. I mean it's what the entire show is based around. Everyone might aswell go home if they aren't ever going to use their powers. |
| 1)this season has no story 2)show dont has a good ecchi enough to entertain you 3)it is censored(unlike highschool DxD example) 4)No comedy,No action,nothing to set you free of your boredom and they had the chance of using one of the two good arcs from manga....i dont know what hey are trying to do...they give no reason for an ordinary person to watch this crap |
 |
| I'm considering dropping it. I've been on episode 5 because I have absolutely no motivation to watch the next episode. |
| i will finish the season because i want to see how worse an anime can get |

I'm sorry producer but this was a huge waste of money. agreed. ruin a perfectly good manga with this shit. granted the franchise is all about the service but at least the manga has some of the most intense and heartbreaking storylines to date. |
| while I agree to the fact that this second season is kinda a letdown (i expected more from based XEBEC, some of the episodes are Rio: Rainbow Gate-tier with the script), i can't help but be amused by reading people that complain about the lack of plot in this. what part of Maken-ki's plot is that inspiring, original and great to follow for you to want it at all costs? we're talking about an author that can't even make decent doujinshi, guys. also, just lol @ the OP for saying that To Love-Ru has a plot. if you really think that what's going on in Darkness isn't only an excuse to show tits and asses as usual, I might have bad news for you. |

| Season 1 was 100 times better then season 2,they schould called this an OVA and season 2 to have a story.Thats the problem about echii animes it needs a story so it will have better chances for a next season just look at High school DxD it has an awsome story and its preaty damn echii. |
LonelyWizard said: Nope, I'm always right. Well lets say a shitty overarching story. Each episode has a little self contained story and that's fine. But the overarching story is shit so they shouldn't push it.morshuwarrior said: IntroverTurtle said: Pretty much this. Not everything needs a damn plot.I like it better.

| its a good thing that majority on MAL think different than you.... |
| |
| The thing is they don't, that's why TLR Darkness is rated so high and there's no ecchi with a crappy story rated high. |

| i still dont get what your point is...why are you starting conversation with the assumption the story MUST be crappy %100 thats why there shouldnt be any story at all...are you simply saying there is no ecchi with good story? |

| its ok but i was hoping for it to be close to the manga |

Manga =/= anime. You can't just adapt the majority of mangas straight because it's a different media, exact same as how movies aren't exact adaptations of books. Even if they *had* adapted the manga's story for this season, the story/layout would've been changed regardless and you'd still be complaining. You may as well just enjoy the show for what it is (which is an anime, not just an animated manga) instead of nitpicking or you're never going to like the majority of manga-sourced anime. Actually, why do you care about plot in Maken Ki anyway? It's hard ecchi - I'm here for boobs. If you want plot and fighting, watch an action anime. |

The plot dragged it down, as a lot of the reviews say. I don't even remember the last episode because the plot was that uninteresting. When they make a second season of something, they're expected to improve - they saw that plot was being ill-received, so they concentrated on the comedy and ecchi that people liked instead. It's not that hard. Yeah, I know, I've seen more Shaft than you have. The thing here is that Shaft don't adapt pure ecchi - the most ecchi thing they did really was Dance in the Vampire Bund, which is a really plot heavy thing right from the start. It's hardly comparable to a series that had a first season that had about 2 plot points that weren't located on a girl's chest. Not all mangas are the same either - some mangas like Sakamichi No Apollon are easy to just adapt straight to anime but others, like Berserk, need to be edited and cut to fit in. |
| ok,everyone i admit defeat making ecchi enthusiats angry wont make any good for me :I...i dont and wont understand the concept of "pure ecchi" i mean i like boobs but watching some random boobs doing random sexy things is not my thing,even when i watch ecchi i dont watch it for "pure ecchi"(world would be a much better place if all anime had ecchi element in it,instead of grouping:ecchi-and others)...so without understanding that feeling i cant defy you... (@ straggy i never said i watched more shaft anime than anyone,i just like their style...and as you can see i started watching more and more of their works) one more thing when you give example you should go look their anime list and give an example they watched like i did.But what you did?you check every anime in my list to see how much shaft anime i watched then gave examples from 2 anime i didnt watch...dont be so greedy man |

| The arguments saying this show doesn't need plot are ridiculous. Seriously just watch hentai. This is a TV show, TV SHOW PEOPLE! It needs to have a plot otherwise whats the point? I heard comedy be a reason, by comedy do you mean frantic yelling and beat downs because of a dumb MC and constant misunderstandings? Maybe that shit flew way back in Love Hina days but its incredibly stale now. It sure as hell doesn't have clever dialogue. Art? Nah, the arts substance is destroyed by ridiculous huge tits flopping around everywhere (having one loli character doesn't make up for it). I liked the 1st season decent enough, not the biggest fan of fan service but im not against it. The plot wasn't anything special but necessary to not make you feel better like a complete degenerate. Haha just admit it lechers, you just watch this show to spank the monkey. Its sad that a show has to do this to sell in Japan. Damn you, perverted Japan. Ultra perversion destroys creativity. True story. |
