Motto To Love-Ru as you can probally tell from the name is the sequel series to To Love-Ru (What is it with these Japanese and such random names...motto?) Rather than the flowing straight forward plot of TLR Motto instead follows a format of each episode consisting of 3 mini continuityless mini-episodes. Much like the OVA Motto has a lot of stuff taken from the manga which was never explained in the anime- ghost girl's physical body, Run's idol career, Celine the plant girl and to a lesser extent (they were sort of explained in the OVA) Lum....sorry, La La's sisters. The animation quality in this series is top notch. The theme tune is pretty good (though nothing on the previous one) and it really looks very different and more advanced from the get go. The actual entertainment value of the series however....that is a more debatable matter. As I said each episode is actually three episodes of six-eight minutes. Not much time for a full story huh? Yup. The stories all seem to follow one of two plot lines: 1: Supporting character mutters about Rito, has some time alone with him, comes to realise how he's really awesome. 2: Supporting character mutters about a flaw in their life; something like not understanding friendship or whathaveyou. Has an encounter. Realises the thing they were missing is important. Oh well. It really is a very shallow series. And not in the awesome fun way of the original series. Its kind of entertaining. Some funny moments. But don't go expecting this to be a proper series 2. I just hope if there's a 3rd series of To Love Ru made they do it properly.

They fucked up in the first season. Genuinely struggled to get through it, but towards the end they got their shit together so I went on to season two. They fixed all the problems I had with it and they delivered a show I now genuinely loved. The characters are your old school basics and I love the sense of nostalgia it brings me from growing up when the show came out.

This is a sequel to "To Love Ru" which is about a boy that ends up having a pink haired hotty from another planet live with him. This sequel continues with his life and all the chicks around him. They're gonna get naked... a lot. This season in pretty "Shameless" and will show you boobs all the time. It really isn't necessary to see nearly every females chest parts.Each episode has 3 parts to it so they are all short and hold almost no significance or continued plot. It gets pretty old quick. Some of the characters are neat, most are the exact same in every situation. The animation looks nice and the voices sound good but that only helps to a point.With no real plot other than every chick realizing they want the protagonist, not much happens. Kinda funny, kinda cute, doesn't give closure and shows boobs any possible chance they can. It is mostly pretty bad, not as good as the first season but can be funny and cute. 7/10
