Review of Love Tyrant

Trials and tribulations of the modern otaku redux Love Tyrant is one of those anime that’s all over the place for me. On one hand it’s a parody of all too familiar character tropes. That I loved because then the story had to be tight unify these ridiculous elements. And in those episodes I saw the appeal of the show and understood why it was made. It was funny, the action was intense, and the drama was tense. Not to mention sexy at times. On the other hand, it’s a parody so it runs the clichés pretty hard. And when it does the plot and storythat brought all these characters together goes out the window. Thus becoming the very thing it intends to mock. And when the story isn’t moving it isn’t interesting. And when it isn’t interesting, I don’t want to watch it. Even the shit with his sister and the penguin was funny and interesting. But it’s yet another series that has action & comedy & sexy & drama & romance. Like Kill La Kill. Too much to not excel at one, but enough done well enough to justify recommending this series. And there it is, that’s the paradox. Who do I recommend this to? I can’t envision a target audience for this series. Teenage boys with a yandere fetish? If I were to ask me, “Should I watch Love Tyrant; yes or no?” I’d be forced to answer, “No.” It’s okay and has it’s moments, but you could get your kicks elsewhere and not be sorry for it. But if someone watched it and told me they liked/loved it, I would not be surprised. I was entertained MOST of the time.
