To Love-Ru – 09:Ultraman revisited

Posted by Makoto 31 May 2008 4 Comments


Ultraman vs Rito =O

Summary:
I thought this was going to be about Mikado sensei…instead its about Pikari/Hikari…whatever his name is.He’s a rocketman/Kirara-ian which I think means something along the lines of ostentatious if I’m not mistaken since my head is abit fuzzy lately.So he’s come to marry Lala(duh..).Meanwhile while he’s flying around,it appears Rito has caught a cold but he can’t remember having done anything to catch the flu bug.Lala accompanies him to the infirmary but the nurse isn;t there.Lala transforms into a nurse outfit and tries to take Rito’s temperature WITH HER FOREHEAD.I must say it was getting close to an eroge scene before Mikado sensei came in to stop the madness.Anyway Hikari tries many times unsucessfully to woo Lala.He gets his rocketsuit broken muiltiple times by Lala and seeks help from Ren and Zastin when that happens each time,and eventually goes to Mikado sensei.Mikado sensei apparently is protrayed as a mysterious new school nurse.No one knows about her personal life though.But she is in fact an alien doctor.Anyway Pikari’s failures end up with him being pissed on by a dog.In the end he is returned to his home planet after Mikado sensei beats him up for assulting her students.Zastin is one of Mikado sensei’s regular patrons due to dogs being attracted to this skeleton like space suit.*END*

Thoughts:
I’m still to blinded by the manga’s awesomeness to bring myself to dislike the anime series.Just watching the character come to life is good enough for me actually.But honestly speaking,this episode sucked.That’s just putting it very bluntly.Why?We should have been focusing on Mikado sensei instead of the ultraman + rocketman ripoff.Pikari single handedly REDUCED the fanservice to almost decent levels.It made the episode look like a saint compared to Kanokon.The main reason thousands of teenage boys buy the Shounen Jump to read To Love-Ru every week is for the fanservice.Failure to realize that is just incomprehensible and I was just too bored to write up a detailed summary because of that.

Next week though I’m hopeful that its not going to be a fanservice disaster judging from the preview but its going to be another anime original, so its going to take a stroke of genius to impress me.For now,I’m content with reading/drooling over the manga.For example…


Genius?Or just plain gay? I never complain about more fanservice and I won’t start now :)
Note:
Special A 09 is going to be delayed like hell since I’m pressed for time next week.

    I officially shelved the series halfway through this episode. I certainly hope the manga is better.

    Well,the manga certainly had more nude shots/tentacle rape and some real kinky stuff,not to mention lolis.Simple pure entertainment.

    To paraphrase Rick James, it’s a very kinky Anime, the kind you don’t take home to mother. Not that I WOULD watch this with my mother. She thinks I’m weird enough as it is…
