To Love Ru

I must agree to that. It's sort of like bad hentai with clothes. Most of the time...

Well, TBH, it's damn funny. The Accidental Pervert, that is; Rape as Comedy... not so much.

>All these people realizing how ...eh To Love Ru is

Welcome to the wonderful world of ecchi. Seriously, I get disturbed with nearly all these series.

I hope you can see the whole difference between your regular ecchi fanservice and Rape as Comedy. This chapter is in a whole other level then your average ecchi series.

I find amusing because of how absurd things have been being, but I can understand where desdendelle is coming from.

The entire series so far starting from Darkness has been Momo trying to assemble a harem for Rito, who is perfectly fine being chaste.

In essence, this is an extension of that. What makes Mea forcing Rito to grope her body any different than Momo forcing Rito to grope everyone?

You were talking about "all these series", not To Love Ru alone. Furthermore, there is also a difference between a girl building a harem for someone than another girl raping said someone. Momo never intended to force anyone, after all. Much the opposite, she wants everyone to willingly fall in love with him.

The difference is simple, really: Mea raped Yuuki: that's non-con and immoral. Causing someone to fall in love with someone else might be underhanded and morally ambiguous, but it isn't outright immoral. Basically, what Heatth said.

Wait, she went all the way? Cripes, that isn't funny anymore.

Well, she was interrupted, so we don't know for sure if she would have stopped on her own or not.

>Main character accidentally falls on a woman while they're both naked
>Funny

>Woman forces main character to grope her in innapropriate places
>Not Funny

I never really get ecchi, if it wasn't obvious.

I'll freely admit Accidental Pervert gags are very rarely funny, but these things tend to cross the line when they go intentional.

Both aren't funny, but I would say someone forcing someone to do something they're unwilling to do would be less funny.

Context could make an Accidental Pervert moment funny. It would be difficult (and honestly funnier if it was female on male, since it'd be more surprising) but with the right comedic timing, you could bring it off.

As fillerdude said, it has a huge difference between an 'accident' and a 'forced action'. It is not even a matter of one being funny and the other not. It is the second case is morally wrong while the first is not.

Anyway, I don't think that scene in the most recent chapter was supposed to be funny. I thought it was meant to be sexy instead. Which is why I found funny.

I feel the need to mention (for everyone who didn't see it when I posted this piece of info with a link in the chatterbox thread), that To Love Ru Darkness has been specifically found to not violate the Youth Ordinance Law.

Mea's rape of Yuuki was supposed to be sexy?
Wat.

That mostly falls flat for me because he's sexier than she is.

I'm pretty sure it was more indication of how screwed up her head is than anything sexy. I mean, five minutes later she went all Blood Knight on a few guys, intentionally drawing out the fight for fun.

That too. The scene as a whole had, primary, the purpose to show how messed up she is. Yuuki even gave her a heroic preaching, after all. However, at the same time, the (near?) rape scene was also played for sexy, as far I can tell. There were too much explicit angles to be anything else.

Seeing as both Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei and Ah My Goddess both had shocking twists that changed the entire story within a few weeks, I wonder if To Love Ru will have a similar angle. Perhaps Yabuki still holds a grudge with his wife fucking a horse head guy.

By the way, how did SZS end, anyway? I can't find spoilers on it anywhere.

Kafuka died before the series began. All the other girls also tried committing suicide before the series began, but each survived and were given an organ donated by Kafuka. Every scene she is in is her possessing another girl, while everyone hallucinates she's really there.

Check earlier chapters. O Ps and E Ds of the anime. He planned this all along.

Gainax Ending to the max.

So, what happened to Nozomu?

There is one more chapter left. Closure is near.

I still can't get my mind around how the author planned this all along.

Why are we talking about SZS in the TLR—

Holy crap Kafuka was dead?! But that doesn't make any— god damn it does. IT FRIGGIN' DOES.
