![]() The anime itself also inspired me to take up my own creative ventures, and when I discovered Senran Kagura around the same time, the two combined franchises kickstarted my creative juices. The show hooked me with its simple plot and fun characters, and from that point on my love for anime grew and grew. For me, the anime presented creative ideas and settings that I had never really seen before in a cartoon. Forget gateway animes like Naruto, Dragon Ball and Bleach, my first introduction to the Japanese anime industry was this obscure ecchi fest with waifus galore! While the ecchi was indeed an aspect of the show that did draw me in during my teen days, it was more than that to me. To Love Ru was in fact the first anime I ever saw, no joke. But what went wrong? Why did it go wrong? And how could the series I love so much fall from grace? Well, let’s find out. However, this was not to last, and in my opinion, the series took a serious nose dive at some point in its run. Misadventures and hijinks ensue and sprinkle in one too many accidental fanservice antics, and you have a simple but heartfelt story with fun characters, a repetitive but fun plot and a handful of ecchi that adds that little extra spice to the mix. The first series follows Yuuki adapting to a new life with Lala in his life, as well as many botched attempts to woo his crush, as well as fend of Lala’s ever-growing affections after she decided he is to be her groom. Hung up over his school Crush Sairenji Haruna, as well as interference from a whole variety of characters, filling out almost every single waifu quota in the world, his life is turned upside down when an alien arrives on his planet! But this isn’t some squiggly slimy creature, but rather a pink-haired buxom cutie pie named Lala Deviluke, a princess on the run from her arranged marriage. To Love Ru is an ecchi, romance, comedy, sci-fi anime that follows the hapless protagonist Yuuki Rito. This was originally just going to be a general review of the franchise, but I figured why not spice things up a bit, and instead talk about the series and how it…let’s just say derailed itself. The title has love in it, so I thought ‘why not use this opportunity to write about To Love Ru’. Now, I am unsure of how this tag works, Pinkie ranked the top 5 Bees in gaming, but I don’t have such extensive knowledge of gaming bees, so I decided to put a spin on things. Courtesy of the wonderful Pinkie we have the Bee Love Tag. But we are back and with a new tag post none the less. ![]() I have returned! I apologise for the slow inactivity, lockdown still somehow keeps me busy.
