To LOVE-Ru Darkness 2nd OVA

OK, first of all this is my 1st review and is only because i felt like is unfair that it only contain 1 review and that leave Darkness 2nd as a fail when to me was the opposite.
I'm not sure what's allowed and what isn't but this review is intended to be read by those who already saw the 3 Ovas and why not the entire content of the franchise/series called To Love Ru, so i'll warn u this review may contain big SPOILERS, so if u haven't watched what i've already mentioned i recommend not to continue reading and go watch them and come ... back once u have done it to avoid unnecessary/unwanted SPOILERS.

WARNING THIS CONTENT MAY HAVE A LOT OF SPOILER READ AT UR OWN RISK!!

Let start saying that to me this season along with ovas did have some sort of progress, maybe not the one we expected but still something. I won't speak about Darkness 2nd since this isn't the place for that one, but i do gonna say that yami evolution was incredible and at the end she's now closer to Rito than before so that's a progress at least for me.
Now lets talk about this ovas, we finally meet Lala's mom, the queen of Deviluke and we found out she is from a specie called Charmian that has some sort of ability that make beasts anybody who see them because of how beautiful they are, and we learn that Gid Lucion Lala's dad (King of Deviluke) was unaffected by this ability but most important because of this when the queen meets Yuuki Rito she soon realize that he is a peson why a strong determination just like Gid meaning he doesn't get affected by that ability either, so Rito is kinda same as the actual King of Deviluke therefore this is telling us how strong he is after all.
In the other ova we see Haruna and Rito get their first kiss (AT LAST) even when it was by accident a kiss is a kiss so great job Rito! Haruna! gambate! too bad in the last ova they were not able to confess their feelings to each other (AGAIN -.-), but we now this isn't over and we gonna have a sequel soon so... it's ok!

Now i'm gonna rate this ovas

Story : This are ovas so even when they are part of the original material not just filler stuff, there is pretty much no story in them, only those 2 moments already detailed above (we meet Lala's mother and the first kiss between Haruna and Rito). To me was more then enough for just 3 ovas so is a 9.5 (only because they didn't confess their feelings again).

Art: As usual Xebec deleite us with his beautiful art, this ovas looks amazing, i didn't saw any visual problem at all, and ofc a lot of oppai, lingerie and ecchiness all over the places. If u don't like this u probably should not be watching it in the first place. So for me art is a perfect 10!

Sound: The op is not that great as predecessors but still a great song, Ed the same. I'm not really that much into sounds but i did enjoy it so i'll give it an 8.5

Character: This is the richest thing of To Love Ru series, the incredible and extend amount of amazing characters, Rito, Lala, Haruna, Nana, Momo, Run, Kotegawa, Tear, Yami, Mea, etc, etc... each and everyone has some time on screen, maybe not as much as i would like but enough to show us even a small progress on how they get inlove with Rito and sometimes even we get to know them a bit more. For instance now Kujou Rin is show a lot more interested in Rito and is a great addition to the Harem. So character for me was a 12 :P

Enjoyment : If u have read everything above is obvious that i really enjoyed every second of this ovas (serie in general), so is a 10.

Overall : It was pretty much perfect since they were ovas and still we got some progress, and not the always beach ovas, something i can thank for once. Design was impressive, sound were enjoyable, and we learn a lot more. So ofc is a 10!

Hope u liked my 1st review :)

🔥 To LOVE-Ru Darkness 2nd OVA & The Final Arc: The Ultimate Truth (10/10) 🔥
Rating: 10/10 MASTERPIECE
⚠️ MAJOR SPOILER WARNING: This review discusses the thematic and plot conclusion of the entire To LOVE-Ru Darkness story, including the OVAs (Vol 15, 16, 17, and the Final Animated Episode in Vol 18)! Do not read until you have finished the main TV series!
I absolutely love the To LOVE-Ru Darkness 2nd OVA run. It perfectly encapsulates the series' emotional depth while providing the necessary fan service. I am giving it a 10-star rating because these specials truly provide the Full Story Detail 100%, wrapping up one of the ... best arcs in the entire franchise.
The true genius lies in its handling of the Past, Present, Future, and The Truth.
In the Past, we learn the tragic origins of Yami (Golden Darkness) as the first successful bio-weapon in the Original Experiment by the mysterious Syndicate. This paved the way for the creation of Nemesis, the subsequent Evolved Form of Darkness, and the related Prototype project, Mea Kurosaki. This deep history gives the conflict weight.
The Present storyline, which these OVAs complete, centers on Nemesis's Release and her goal to destroy or achieve Assimilation with Yami. We see pivotal moments, such as the famous Body Swap incident (introduced in Darkness 2nd OVA 1, the "Transfer Student is a Princess"), which is a crucial attempt by Nemesis to manipulate Rito's unique power. This conflict pushes Yami toward Redemption, as she clings to the "small happiness" of her Earth life.
The Future elements culminate in an incredible climax. The series delivers the ultimate emotional payoff when Rito's Intervention provides the unexpected catalyst. It prevents the intended destruction and forces a non-destructive conclusion. The power of his pure desire to protect Yami leads to her magnificent Transcendence into the True Golden Darkness.
Finally, The Truth is why I rate it a 10. The story confirms that the Trouble phenomena, far from being just a destructive force, is a power that amplifies the user's emotions. Because Yami learned love, happiness, and acceptance, her power amplified those feelings, allowing her to gain full control. Even Nemesis's Fate is satisfying—after tasting life in a different form, she becomes a new, troublesome partner rather than a purely destructive villain. All the loose ends, up to the Final Animated Episode (Multiplication - Mae kara Ushiro kara), are neatly tied up.
I highly recommended this OVA set (Vol 15-18) to any fan who wants the definitive, 100% conclusion to the Darkness anime storyline. It's the perfect combination of comedy, character growth, and thematic resolution! Go watch it!

Here goes studio Xebec again, making a 3 episode OVA of this 3rd sequel of the To Love Ru franchise (Can I say that?). So now it's over......or is it? Well knowing Studio Xebec and how this series goes, it maybe possible that Studio Xebec might opt for another episode, special or another sequel.......or not. Either way , nothing has change when it comes to the development of the characters, soooooo:

Storywise, well, it's a mediocre 5, since the OVA's plot was still connected to the franchise and it was still the same harem, romance , comedy, sci-fi, thing, where Rito is still this ... very annoying guy who just has to let himself be carried away by his own indecisiveness with his harem.

Art,,,,,,,,,It was a great 9......the boobs, panties, assses, camel toe , the whole she bang that is.

Sound, well given that that it was still the same seiyuus who did the voices of the character's, it was basically mediocre 5. But, some of the seiyuus already have that matured tone to even voice their characters like, Itou Kanade who is too old to do Nana, Rito's seiyuu Watanabe Akeno was already showing signs of being a MILF than a 16 year old boy and Lala's seiyuu Tomasu Haruka, no long has that youthful tone.

Character, aside from the fact that the characters here were still the usual and little or nothing has change about them, we still have Rito who is still this stupid guy , that really pisses me off, I mean, WTF is taking that guy from banging any of the girls in this series, there is also Momo, whose so called "Harem Plan" for Rito is still yet to make any progress....if there will be one, and Lala, whom at the last episode of this OVA is already pushing for a Rito X Haruna relationship ( but ended in a train-wreak), well, too bad that Lala's role was push even deeper as a mere support and it just stays there while Momo's role got bigger, so really this category was just a pathetic 1 all the way.

Enjoyment, let's face it , To Love ru was simpy an anime that relies on the sexual innuendo and fanservice, beside, don't they said that 'Sex Sells" , I just happen to be one of the buyers, so this category is a Great 9.

But alas, the overall of this anime can be describe as a 'Train Wreck", based on the last episode of this anime, when Hrauna just had to blow her confession to Rito. So , such development got hanged just like that. Pathetic (1).


Happy Holidays
