Review of Motto To LOVE Ru
When it comes to an anime like this, you know that it's going to be filled with ecchi and perverted moments galore. But what you didn't know is that this anime, aside from other ones just like this, actually has good, enjoyable characters with a good backstory. This is basically a continuation from where we left off in the OVAs'. Rito is still being accused of being the "accidental pervert" that he is. And the funny gags that are in just about every episode are even more so, but the question is. WHY does this anime deserve the score I gave. Like I said before, thisseries has a good backstory and a ton of characters that make up for it. But is it at all justified? Let me elaborate a bit deeper. What you will get about 60% of the time will be accidental perverted moments including Rito and an enraged girl who beats the hell out of him for his "accidental" accident. The other 40% of the time you will get serious moments that sort-of tie in with the plot for the moment. Most episodes are filled with filler, and while that's not a bad thing, if you like a serious story with extremely intricate characters and a evolving backstory, then this anime is NOT for you. Let me repeat, this anime does NOT contain any extreme intricate characters or plot that will make your eye balls pop out from being dazzled. This anime is purely for the "fun" of being a good anime with a lot of laughs.
The sound and art of this one are, meh. They're good enough to enjoy in the moment, but there are no visuals that captured my eyes and made me say wow. And I'm not completely sure, this may just be me, but the characters look slightly different in this series than in their older predecessors. The OP is alright, not too catchy, but does stick in your head for a bit.
Like I said before, the characters are definitely a good reason to keep watching this. Most of them are sort-of one-dimensional, but they all add to the funny moments to keep the show as interesting as it is. I must admit, the most interesting character in this anime is Yui Kotegawa. She may be the most uptight character in the show, but she has some dynamic. I would state the rest of the characters, but there are so many so I'll just say this. They are all good in their own ways. However, the lot of the main characters are definitely the most interesting.
So like I've said before, if you come to this anime expecting outstanding characters and a dynamic story, well you're dreaming. You will, for the most part, be laughing and maybe feeling a bit uncomfortable as you're put in the shoes of Mr. Rito a LOT when he get's himself into trouble. But for the most part, this anime is very entertaining but has a bit of filler that may take you away from what we're ultimately trying to get at. I recommend you give this one a watch.
