Pointless anime: 4/10. I'm wondering if it was good enough to deserve a second season. Rito needs to hurry up and decide on something.

Finally finished this cursed show, WS FTW. It had some fun moments but ultimately poor direction and awful fillers almost destroyed it. The second season will probably never come and I'm not sure I want it to. We'll never get a decision from Rito anyway, sort of like how School Rumble will never have a real ending. Bad, bad manga authors.

I'm still giving it 7/10, since it was lighthearted enough and didn't take itself seriously. Also, Tomatsu Haruka (Lala & Nagi) is easily worth 1 point.


Actually it might end.........the manga is to be stopped so maybe the author will end it. WHO KNOWS YET.

I, too, watched this series recently in its entirety. I think it seemed somewhat good/decent, but ended up being boring and stupid as fuck due to the fillers and poor ecchi. (Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of blatantly riduculous amounts of fanservice/ecchi, when done the right way - but this sucked).

Also, Rito is up there in my "most annoying indecisive half-assed male leads" -list.

I gave this show a 6/10, which is kind of generous as well.

Why oh why good gods this show did not end like DearS? Or better, Kanokon?!
DearS were cut in half of manga, but ending is coherent and definitive = good ending for me.
Kanokon - well, girlfriend + mistress = good ending for me.
Even Shuffle had definite ending. This really suck. The problem is, that in reality many people are indecisive as well, that's not a fiction...
I'm afraid that probable 2nd season will be like School Rumble = nothing interesting in part of development of feelings.
I really hoped that Sairenji would turn out to be an alien or sth like that and only option for Rito would be Lala...
Anyway, he is indecisive fool, should burn in hell!

Kanokon was a royal waste of time, better luck finding what you get in that anime at various websites that I cannot post due to content violations. I still gave it a 6 tho, but thats cause every anime i see all the way through never gets below a 5 in my opinion

why is lala bettter? i liked her cause she was crazy!!
but i liked sarienji (how ever u spell her name) more for sonereason h, though lala was the main charecter n alot sexier.
i still had a preference towards sarenji's innocent cuteness for some reason.
now i was alway left in the dark who rito was gonna be with in the end casue they always were tied on pregression lala was persistant.
sarenji was his secret crush all along.
and the ending to this was fing stupid. it resolved nothing. n made the devilukes look weak as hell if some humans could pass taht all they used was plants.
does the manga go further then this??
anyways heres a solution to problem the problem of this whole ending.
HAVE IT BE SOME WEIRD ALIEND CUSTOM THAT THE GROOM CAN HAVE TO BRIDES!!!!!!!! THEN HE CAN MERRY BOTH!!!!!!!!!!! N MAKE BOTH THE GIRLS DOWN WITH THAT!! BAM END OF PROBLEM!!
now end that with some good anime scenes n story n we can all be happy

I'm not really disappointed with this ending because it was pretty obvious that it was going to be an open ending. But I was hoping I was wrong and Rito would at least chose, regardless of who it was. Hopefully they make another series where he chooses, but that seems highly unlikely. It was still all worth it just for Lala.

I give the series a 6 out of 10 overall, which is pretty good considering the ass-load of fillers they had in the middle of the series.

For this episode, if they make a second series, I'll give it an 8.

If they don't, I'll give it a 3.

I like open endings but only when they have a reason to be open. To end it here would mean that we're back to god damn episode 1, meaning the story was originally leading nowhere. I haven't read the manga, but usually the storyline goes a bit further than the anime, so here's hoping for a second series.

P.S. Lets just hope the second series isn't like Girls Bravo.

I was actually abit suprised about the ending.
I did indeed think Rito and Lala would end up together until I was about halfway in the last episode.
Even though it did not give you a clear picture about it,you can somewhat still kinda tell that he most problably end up with Sairenji. To bad all I can see is the OVA's,which got a different story it seems. still giving this anime 8/10.
entertaining indeed,as well as well made.

Another failure of an ending. Another failure at romance. In 95% of situations like these, the main character always chooses the Lala character over the Haruna character or something happens where he doesn't have to choose at all and romance isn't concluded because the creators know the main character SHOULD be with the Haruna character but how could they possibly choose her over someone as spry, physically endowed and pink-haired like the Lala character?

It's such a shame - what a dreadful conclusion to a funny and often-times romantic series. Why can't the Japanese ever have the balls to say, "you know what? Haruna is a total sweetheart. Rito's been in love with this girl for who knows how long. Why should the bouncy alien get her? Let's have a meant-to-be happy ending this time, instead of rediculous deux ex machina."

So sad. Oh well. Chalk this up to a total failure like so many others and move on to the next in the hopes they get it right this time around.

Ep 1-23,5 was pretty much a parody of everything that happens in the last two episodes.

Every time something "dramatic" happens you can be sure that a few seconds later some funny scene destroys the drama. e.g.: Lala goes away to improve her cooking skills and Rito grieves about his harsh words towards her? Bam, Lala is back with lots of strange stuff...

But ep25 is the "great" introduction into this serious anime-ending which is imo totally unfitting as well as redundant since after ep26 is before ep24...

I mostly liked the first 23,5 episodes, but the ending was simply awful.

pro: Lala, Golden Darkness, Yui, Mikan.
con: Haruna and most scenes with Rito and her, ep25-26

What could be better:
-They do have an awesome OST but they could use it more often.
-More Golden Darkness, Yui and Mikan. Mikan was like totally abandoned in the later episodes.

Best szene (imo): An assassin looking for work in a job center. :D (ep22)

conclusion: Nice and funny anime with horrible ending. Sometimes there's too much ecchi though. 8/10

half a season of fillers just to watch rito continue his streak of being an indecisive bastard, terribad ending imo


Okay, the plot was incredibly stupid. But I liked the fillers.

This series was mostly funny, and somewhat ecchi, and mostly just a lot of pleasant distraction.

It did what it set out to do - i.e. deliver jokes, fan service, and silliness.

The plot was bad, but at least there was only a plot in the last three eps.

Love the ending but something is missing though.

Yui been push to the windows =)
Everyone is present in this episode, that is what matters most.. I don't expect Rito to release some certain power (earthling) but he can jump high,

Good thing Lala's invention were always defective, coz if that is a success I might give this a low score.

The very end was a bit short, I would like to see some kind of kiss either from Haruna or Lala. Oh well Saki is still on Lala haha

LOL someone needs to take chill pill. I never thought this anime was serious to begin with and if you watched this far you should have saw the ending coming. They are bunch kids. You can't expect him to marry a girl already or commit to one.

Loved the ending. I was really happy that the memory eraser didn't work.

Now I finished it just 'cause I started watching it more than 2 years ago.
Most of show was like "Just die already" and at the end even Lala was acting retarded against her father ~_~ (a guy without a drop of common sense).
All that save series for me was few fun parts and Mikan with her matured attitude, unfortunately neither she had much screen time nor any important role.

Ok.. The ending was satisfying but left the question, what happened to Lala's father

after the fail memory-eraser? Though, there's a S2 which might answer this.

As to the overall series, around 20% was worth watching.. the rest , never mind..

I'll give this 6/10 for its art..

This will be added to my signiture: I hate you Yuuki Rito



Now in seriousness, and unnecessary raging aside, it was ending were least feelings were hurt, but it was set up from beginning for someone to have their heartbroken for happiness of other. I am obviously upset about it but... I guess it was nice.

If you are rating this little ball of pure entertainment and light and fluffy ecchi on the same standards as a serious anime, you can judge it harshly, but what a lot of people are missing, is that it did exactly what it meant to. It made you laugh, it entertained you, the guys watching got a cheap thrill, and for us girls brave enough to admit we watched it, the tale of a bit of sweet lighthearted romance against odds made you feel fuzzy, and you had to love Lala's attitude.

It holds a special spot for me with honorable mention in it's catergory. If you wanted deep story with solid and continous plot, sorry you wasted your time, and get very angry at whoever suggested this to you. But as far as pure ecchi's like this go, it was my first so I can't speak with much experience, but this was a winner in my opinion.

Live On Team Lala!

What a terrible way to end an anime. I had hopes that rito will drop a pair and actually make a decision. I feel terrible for lala, she was willing to give so much for him and she couldn't at least get a straight answer to whether he love her or not. I also felt like punching Haruna at the end, she should have back off that event of previous episodes.
Terrible ending, i hope Motto and the OVAs are better than this.
7/10 - overall it was fun to watch but terrible progression and ending of the plot.

why are ppl giving any praise to this ending? how does accomplishing that obstacle mean number one in universe? i think the king was using it to make rito decide which girl he wants, if so he failed cause he hasn't chosen yet.

so lala cancels the marriage.. and the consequence is earth needs to be destroyed, but lala says no its ok ill just erase all that happened so far ( all 520 minutes i wasted on this stupid show ) from ppl memories. well that didnt work out so where's the consequence for canceling the marriage.

this wasnt an ending, its was just rested. the same way they reset scenes over and over again in fillers. god this show is such fail, it hurts.

The whole premise was kind of annoying in this show. Rito never gave a damn about Lala in the first place so why on earth would anyone have wanted them to end up together. Lala carried this show and in a way and I'm happy they didn't end up getting married. I almost wish that memory thing had worked and she just left the two social retards together.

Lala = win, Nurse = win, Rito = fag, literally. The end :)

Satisfying ending due to the fact that I lost interest in it half-way thru. It actually redeemed itself a little, so i'll give it a 7/10. But I feel this anime is two ways, if u preferred Haruna to Lala, you would have enjoyed most of the episodes in this anime, although they were fillers. And if you didn't most of the episodes would have pissed you off.
My favourite character was Lala so watching the remaing half of the season really pissed me of. And frankly speaking the only reason why I stuck to this series to the end was cos I wanted to see what would happen to Lala, whether negative or positive. For the posters saying Rito is an idiot, yh in a way I feel that he is and on the other hand I feel like he isnt. I feel bad that he is ignoring Lala's feeling for him and might end up breaking her heart and the same time it isn't easy for you to drop the feelings for the girl u like cos a super hot alien suddenly appeared in your bath tub. But am glad it had a open ending and no one got hurt.

Let me get this straight, Rito is surrounded by a lot of chicks, some of them seem to have an interest in him, and yet he managed not to get a single thing going with ANY of the girls (excluding the dreams). The only things i can recall are "misunderstandings"/"accidents" like him kissing the white haired guy and the few perverted moments here and there.
