To tell you the truth, I hated ToLoveRu , I really did. I thought it's plot was kind of lame and was a ripoff of Urusei Yatsura. But when they went ahead and transfered to the other magazine and started ToLoveRu Darkness I gave it a shot, as it said Momo and Yami would be more the main heroines rather than Lala and Haruna, and you know what surprisingly enough I loved it. It changed from the luke warm romantic comedy love triangle, to a steamy erotic comedy harem piece.

So for me, ToLoveRu Darkness is really the beginning of this series, I don't even want to remember what happened before it. I will say though, watching this series censored is like eating a ham sandwich without the ham... 90% of what makes this series great is just how ecchi it is.

Did I mention Momo kicks ass?

You didn't even watch To Love Ru, and dropped Motto; Why even bother trying to watch this then T_T

If you didn't like it before you aren't going to like it now; you make it seem like the concept of the series will magically change for you or something.


Well I wanted to give it a try since there was a good amount of hype for this anime ecchi wise and I liked the parts i've read of the manga. I gave Motto a try cuz once again I heard it was good. The ecchi is what seems bland to me...so im trying to watch it to get a hard-on...i guess. Obviously its popular so I won't say its bad...but wanted to give it a try and I dont want to drop it yet cuz I'm liking the manga. I guess the censoring was a huge blow as well

Pretty great animation, as always. Momo's harem plan MUST succeed! Sucks that the uncensored version comes out later though.... TLR:D MUST NEVER BE CENSORED! WHY THE FUCK WOULD AN ECCHI ANIME BE CENSORED? GEEZ. Yami is the main character of the anime so this is going to be awesome. Mea makes an appearance, though I expected her hair to be more red. The new opening is pretty great and the end of it was even better. All the harem candidates together with the king. The ending is also pretty cute and fluffy like. Is it just me or is Yami not as quiet as she used to be in Motto TLR and TLR? Also can't wait for the next episode. Yami

Great first impression for the series to beginning with. I believe this series beats the others ones in my opinion so far. But there is too much censoring that I to the manga. Also what is AT-X and would that be be the uncensored version? How would I find this lol because the censoring was something I didn't like. Overall, great series and will continue to watch it.

AT-X was the one who streamed Highschool DxD uncensored. So yes, TLR:D would most likely get an uncensored version in a few days.

Momo didn't actually give Rito a blowjob. She just kissed it (still amazingly risque). The show is based off Rito's chastity trying to go against the accidental pervert that always happens. If Rito ever did go that far as a man, every girl would kill him.

Well whether she did more or didn't do more still just makes it a matter of time; i mean one can only guess that outside of actually doing it how far they go in those times when he is asleep.

I have no clue how they managed to make an anime out of the manga. I mean Darkness is way too deep in ecchi scenes to be be on "TV". I'd rather them stick with OVAs with the whole series because the ecchiness is too high for TV, and gets in the way a little bit too much. lol

Was going to wait for the uncensored version, but I ended up caving. >.<

Surprisingly enough, this was better than I was expecting it to be. Will definitely re watch once At-X releases it. Sad it's gonna be a little while till it's out, I read a comment on Nyaa saying it will be out this Tuesday. Unfortunate that this is delayed this much. :(

The OP was really cool, I might just become a Ray fan now! The ED was also nice.

Momo is great as usual. ^^

It does not matter how ecchi it is. I think it was the demand for the ecchi in the first place that moved the anime into a adaptation.

That being said, it's amazing how demand can produce results. This series being a fine example as much as Seikon is.

the manga was actually better and the echi stuff was tastefully done.


even so that girl is far more devious than any of them.....and that really wouldn't be considered rape since she let him do it....but that's pretty borderline.

Meh I was pretty disappointed with the OP.

And these censors are killing me.

Was Yami's voice always like that? It sounds so weird now. Damn I think I was expecting too much.

At least Risa's still awesome.

Meh I think I'ma stick to the manga.

Wonderful, I'm glad TLR is back. I can sleep easy tonight.

Feels good to be back with the characters again. Loved the OP, it was pretty classy. I didn't actually realise how many girls surrounded Rito until that final shot. Nice song. I can't say the same about the ED at this point though.

I watched the past series only recently so I was never a victim of the infamous censor. But from this episode alone, I can tell it's not the best experience when over 60% of the screen is blurred out. Definitely deserves a rewatch in its full potential. The manga still surpasses it in the ecchi department.

Ah it's nice to see this show again.

Though it seems we just missed out on the AT-X version, I for one am not TOO bothered by the censors (despite them being obtrusive to the point where I have no clue what's going on). That aside, the 'plot' I should call it appears to be more, um, engaging this time. Anyway this show demands a re-watch with BDs but until then I'm quite pleased with what's been done with Darkness so far.

Will probably end up watching each episode twice, the censored version because I just can't wait and then the ATX version (for the {ahem} plot).

Correction, since I've been reading the manga this will suck even more since i know exactly what I'm missing out on, and it makes the wait for BDs that much longer....

No wonder the Amazon sales ranking of the BDs jumped sharply today!
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

I know but cause of being paranoid of all this crap of 2012. I shall watch them through CR just to see how amazing it will be in many parts of them being animated despite the censors.

That's my final take on this. Life's too short so better see ALL YOU CAN SEE! Right?

i think the bars just cover the missing person


but anyway i don't remember any fight scenes in the manga that well. if these guys are putting this much effort in the female art, then there's hope the fights will be animated very well!

They removed Mikan when Momo think about Mikan in Rito's harem. In the manga, Mikan is there but not in the anime. Mikan and Rito are sibling!!! I guess adding little sister in his brother's harem is very wrong.
