Well so far this has been the least interesting anime for me this season I RLLY hope next episode is better. I was barely paying attention.

1 awesome thing I noticed. Zastin has the same voice actor as Neuro w00t!


Cool, I thought I recognized that voice. I did finish Neuro yesterday.


He is MUUUU~ / Hawk of Endymion / Phantom Pain from Gundam SEED (Destiny)!! :D

I like Mu and the voice a lot.

This is turning out to be a pretty good season for ecchi comedy since both this and Kanokon are pretty good.

Lala is beyond cute and this show has a very similar feel to Seto no Hanayome which is a good thing since Seto was great. Just replace the mermaids with aliens, lol.

Doesn't that poor bastard Rito understand that he and Haruna just aren't meant to be while him and Lala are. I mean, wow, it is just impossible to have that many misunderstandings with the girl you like without it being some type of sign.

A bit more light comedy, and a whole lot of fan service. Not dissapointed, but not impressed in many ways. I don't have high expectations, anyway. Looking forward to the next!

Predictable, but still enjoyable.
Silly Rito, the solution is simple. HAREM!
And I'm displeased with the uncensored DVD. There are still glares of light partially censoring things. :(

Just started watching this today. Honestly don't see how anyone can find this funny. I sure didn't. Being forced to marry someone you don't want to be with isn't funny, it's sad. Crappy gags like stuff falling out of nowhere to make things happen doesn't help, either.

Can't help but feel bad for Rito. Lala was sad because no one listens to her and she's going to be forced to marry someone she doesn't want to yet she does the exact same thing to Rito. She's nothing but a self centered moron.

Oh but Lala is just so great and Rito should accept things, right? Why? Who would want to accept a forced marriage with someone they didn't like? Especially when you already have someone you're interested in. Wouldn't think anyone that had depth greater then a puddle would. Lala is just dragging him into a world that she herself tried to escape, after all.

After Lala's stupid story I was half expecting him to go with things because he felt bad for her, which would have been really stupid, but instead he just ran out of time. Which wasn't much better, frankly.

Really hope it gets better but I have serious doubts that it will. So far it sucks at both comedy and romance. Expect a lot a stupidly and crappy gags done in the name of humor and that's about it.

This was better than the previous episode, but I think I get the general idea and although it's generic as hell it's still a lot of fun to watch. The preview got me by surprise! Is she going to confess to him?

But I'm surprised this is getting a third season since that was why I decided to watch it now instead of leaving it on my plan to watch list for a while. The comedy is fine and the romance is quite stupid so it doesn't excel in anything (besides fan service T_T).
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page.

Well, why would you marry a princess and become the next galactic emperor or whatnot when you could be with the girl you hardly talk to but who said nice things about you that one time... yeah, I don't get that either.

Because these guys are freaking mental!


and also because it's the drama that makes the story, it wouldn't be too interesting a story otherwise. Imagine: guy meets girl, then happily ever after, end of story. ho hum.

Why hasn't anyone mentioned the 'OH YEAH' moment at the very beginning?
That cracked me up. XD


^I love it when an anime does that, lol.

There's more outlandish humor in this episode and it's so entertaining! Rito and his facial expressions, Zastin getting fooled, Rito trying to "cancel" the engagement had me smiling -- not quite an LMAO moment, though

At first, I got irked at the fact that Rito wanted to cancel the engagement but let's look at it in his perspective: He's probably a first year in high school and he's dull. He can't confess to his long time crush and it always gets him down. Then Lala comes outta nowhere and starts talking about aliens and marriage and galaxies; of course he's going to doubt the validity having an engagement with Lala. It takes time to digest, so it's understandable that he wasn't as eager.

But he redeemed himself when he ran out of time and came to terms that Lala found a person that listened to her and helped her out. That made my respect for him increase.

And so, I also knew Lala was going to do the transfer student act, just like in Girls Bravo


I see a lot more misunderstandings and humor coming up. Fan service is still great for the people that like fan service. I'm perfectly fine if this show ends up being episodic and vaguely advances with a plot. Sort of like Rosario + Vampire.

It's a good one for me either way.

He can't get a break. Asking girls out and touching lala's boobs XD

Next episode seems pretty fun. The love trangle hehe

I have a feeling that Highschool DxD's mangaka was inspired by To-Love Ru, there seem to be some similarities, except for the fact that Highschool DxD is actually good (the first two seasons anyway). This episode was just as shit (if not more shit) than the first episode.

Sigh...I'm trying to like this show, but everything is so contrived and forced. He has to grab her boobs to propose marriage? He has to grab her boobs to call off the engagement? They randomly land (naked) in the locker room right next to the girl he actually likes? (And why was she the only one in the locker room, changing clothes? Where are the other students?) She has pretty much an orgasm every time that little clothes-robot thing gets her dressed?

Ugh...I want to like this, but it's like they're trying too hard for the ecchi-factor.

better than Kanokon #2, since there's moar comedy in TLR, not only fanservice. I find Zastin funny.


Not really since Kanokon attempted to get us interested with the two female characters who had genuine feelings for MC. This one feels forced and not in a good way.

Lala is awesome for what she is but they're setting her sights way too low be setting her with Rito.

"Oh yeah" xD

Lala looking bomb on that sunlit bed x_O

Best marrige proposal ever!

Why is his sister so casual about the whole thing and drinking tea with a guy in an evil looking alien armor handing her a facking normal wrapped present out of kindness and shit, and the fact that her brother is about to marry an alien!? AHAHAHAHA! xD

I´d say forget Haruna and go with Lala, she already gives you what any man wants and she has no shame about it. Marry her and whith her help try your best to be let of the hook about that throne inheritance stuff and settle for a relatively normal life on earth doing occational trips to Deviluke to meet her friends and relatives like once a year or so LOL xD

Worst breaking engagement method ever! That means no hands on boobs during sex... Unless that situation is an exception to the rule. They are superior earthlings, yet their ways are morally, socially and intellectually retarded xD

Karma really hates the guy. He just wants to molest his fiancée so give him a break (fuck me xD). Nice jiggle physics @_@

Oh the guilt trip card when about to tell the girl straight that you now would feel awful to do the right thing for you X() Just do it! They´ve already done more for/with eachother and she has already opened up to him... And now officially engaged anyway. I´ll ship them now, I don´t care.

OF COURSE! xD Lala the new transfer student too in the same class. How many clichés have they squeezed into this one now I wonder HAHA.

Last episode I questioned why focus on the story so much when the appeal seemed to be fanservice alone. Well I understand now. It sets up for a lot of absurd and funny jokes.

The suit being so tight it turns into a hentai sequence on transformation. The fact that Zastin is my husbando and climbs through the window in a full set of armor to tell Rito what's happening as if he was listening the whole time. The fact he's voiced by Kuzan in One Piece. The fact that Rito stumbled upon him drinking tea with his sister and her treating it really casually. The way they left to the BANZAI BANZAII!! in the middle of the day to celebrate their engagement, featuring Zastin in armor and two yakuza looking guys. It all really made me laugh. Especially Zastin of course.

Otherwise, I was thinking the dilemma was set up to be, Rito loves Haruna but if Rito doesn't marry Lala then the earth would be annihilated. Plus there was all that stress over a wimp like him ruling a galaxy. Yet it kinda ignored all of that after it was brought up and instead it became a situation of get with the girl Rito loves but hurt Lala's feelings which is far less epic of a dilemma. In fact, if he was a little smarter and just asked Lala to grab her boob I'm positive she would have let him. Regardless, it would have been more interesting to see Rito battle with his emotions of love and fear and duty than how it seems to have ended up, like he said, he doesn't want to be mean to Lala and missed their engagement cool off period so now his only goal is to slow it down with her so she eventually understands while trying to clear up the supposed misunderstanding with Haruna. Like, in the first version I described you could still have all the boobs, you would just have more going on than excuses to see the boobs.

Then again, last time I criticized the story I ended up enjoying how it led to so much comedy this time!

Also, I haven't actually watching Urusei Yatsura but isn't this the same plot all the way to the alien princess engagement?!

I have a weakness for silly ecchi shows, but this one takes it to the next level of stupid. And why does the mc have to be so incredibly against Lalah (a hot alien princess) and so obsessed by Haruna? She's incredibly plain looking and with a flat personality too.

Rito should think positive, he has a alien princess bride and will probably reign over a whole military planet that can destroy earth within seconds, on the negative side he can't date haruna
