I did tell you there was ecchi in this, right?
C'mon Saki, you knew what that meant.

Okay, now tentacles... that's a little bit of a stretch.
Oh well, I'm gonna have to side with the octopus on this one.

Dinner time... looks like... ummmm.. grape-flavored space
jello? I don't think Bill Cosby approved this flavor.
Yeeeaaahhh.... let's go find a McDonald's.

"I WANT MCNUGGETS!!!!"
"Let's get back to the subject of the series, shall we?"

"What was it again?"

"Maybe the Scoring Summary will remind us of the show's good points."

SCORING SUMMARY:

Animation: ... quality comes and goes, but is spectacular where it counts; hardly revoluntionary, but good enough to provide for a good experience (91/100)

Characters: ... decent-size and good mix of personalities; Lala-sama is sure to be one of the icons of the year as her pressence really lights up any scene she's in; cast members interact well together and contribute greatly to each episode; Zastin and Rito provide for good comedy and story substance (92/100)

Music: ... I can't get the opening theme out of my head!!! I love it so much!!! The ending theme has equal appeal; in-episode music is kinda wishy-washy though it serves its purpose in maintaining the mood it sets to establish (91/100)

Story: ... nothing original; delicate mix of comedy, romance, drama, sci-fi, and slice-of-life is handled quite well; a lot of the focus is on the characters' individual struggles, so the story is a little slow to define itself as of this point; good prelude to a possibly top-notch show, though it's too early to tell for sure at this point (88/100)

Overall: ... the most definitive thing I can say at this point is that I am enjoying the series so far. I am a big fan of the genre and just when I've reached the point of thinking I've seen it all, I get shows like this that remind as to why I fell in love with anime in the first place. Maybe not everything makes sense and surely you have to suspend your belief in what's possible to known-science, but that's quite typical for any series. I enjoy the sci-fi elements just as much as I enjoy the daily-life elements. The ecchi may be a little too much for some, possibly scaring away a lot of the female audience. There is a great potential for this series to become a decent drama, as evidenced in one scene in episode 04 that really had me empathizing for Lala and Rito. I wouldn't put great pressure on this series to create epic drama since it is billed as a comedy more than anything, but if it were to go that route, I would be quite happy with the development. The most fun series of Spring 2008 has got to be To-LoveRu ~ Trouble. (91/100)

You just have to watch it!!!
Come on!! Let's go watch it now!!!
