THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Wow, I didn't think I'd see a digital towel on Japanese TV in 2008.

The '80s style segment before the OP was pretty cool. Pity everything after was pure early-mid-90s low production values, down to the choice of paint colors, blended with service that's nonsensical even beyond the standard.

The episode generally remained follows the manga. Though they've added some stuff probably to make it fit the time slot. I enjoyed it :)

Im pretty shocked. Tons of fanservice in the opening. Anyways it was a good first episode, though i think the man male character seems a little generic (clumsy, easily embarassed), anyways by the looks of the OP and overall episode it looks like its going to be a crazy one.

Seems like a fun one. Won't expect too much out of this storywise but I'm quite sure I will enjoy watching this for the comedy.

The opening space sequence hurt my eyes and the subsequent regular animation was sub-par. However it was still mildly entertaining so the episode gets a 3. The only problem is that after reading the manga I know just how much of a episodic suck fest the "story" is going to evolve into. So between this and Kanokon for my comedic fanservice anime of the season, I'll go with Kanokon. At least that appears to have some sort of larger plot behind all of tits and ass which helps me to justify my continued viewing.

I enjoyed it, it was refreshing seeing that animation style again, although the space scenes were terrible and it felt like an excuse to spend less money.

I liked the opening and the voice acting- especially Lala's- a lot, and it didn't really deviate from the manga, which is good since it's one of the few decent harem-comedies. If it keeps following the manga this closely, it'll be exceedingly difficult for it to be a bad series. That said, probably nothing amazing either, just fanservice-y comedy.

I can't help comparing it with Kanokon:

Kanokon was way better and refreshing. To-LOVE-Ru seemed pretty normal and generic to me. Ok, it had more fanservice, but that kind of fanservice is rather boring and not really cool and funny. Animation of this was a bit better and the opening song was better, too. Ending songs were good in both shows.

The characters were pretty standart and boring. But according to the preview, it seems that next episode could be better.
I will keep watching it, but for now it's only a 7.

This show is nearly as ridiculous as Kanokon, haha...


I don't know what I think. I think I think Kanokon is the slightly better one, as if you're choosing between two weird random crazy insane echii comedies, you should generally pick whichever is crazier. However, it is sort of interesting...

I think I'll see how the next couple of episodes pan out.

I have to say, the music in the show was put to good use. Especially during the kidnapping and then the weird vacuum monster thing.

All the fanservice focused on the OP and ED... The episode itself was rather clean...

What I loved from this is the art. Very polished to be a Xebec anime...

gosh, this shit was awful.
sure, the fanservice and animation(/art) wasn't all that bad, but i felt that those "funny" facial-expressions was way over used, especially since ive never found such generic expressions amusing anyway. the rest of the humor wasn't funny at all either and i cant imagine the story will be interesting, so i'm just dropping it right now.

Okay.............
Starting in star wars mode?!?!? lol

Its a bit different from the manga. BUT, its somehow better. now thats something exceptional.

I never liked Sarenji, so i hope he stops giving all his attention to her asap.
Though i really don't mind about he having misunderstandings with other characters. lol.

Man, my favorite character in this series is 4 sure Rito´s sister

Quoted for truth. TLR was very underwhelming, but I will at least give it a few more eps.

I don't think that many of you understand this anime. After reading the manga it is just a harem, comedy manga really. Don't expect too much of it storywise. I liked it considering i'm not expecting much from the anime.

However, the epi seemed kind silly to me. "Hey! I'm a space girl with big tits!" OH REALLY. I can't complian, after all, I'm going to watch it any way.

It's been quite a while since I've watched an Ecchi. It was a decent start I suppose. I don't really see myself watching this through to the end, but I'll keep watching for a couple more episodes and see if it gets any better in the comedy department (story-wise? Nah, I know not to expect anything much story-wise).

Now off to the first ep of Kanokon!

I've only read one chapter of the manga and this episode wasn't too different from that... except they added some things in.

I don't really like ecchi/comedy so I hope the rest of this isn't bad.. <_< This episode was okay.

Another alien love story haha, jeez. I still thought the first ep was pretty interesting. I like the Shinobu look alike! Its to bad they didn't make the Alien girl look better. When I compare her to the human girl it feels like they're in totally different age groups.

Decent first ep. Didn't expect too much (only hoped that it wouldn't be a new Rosario+Vampire XD).If nothing else I'll just watch it for the lulz. :P
Liked the effects they used in the OP, it looked cool.

Haruna is really cute. <3
