It has been 20 years and Western "fans" still can't even pronounce the name of this series. It's not called "To Love Ru", it's literally called "Trouble".
>>290083246So why does that English text say To Love Ru and not Trouble
I just actively refuse to talk like a retard
>>290083246I thought it was just a weird way to way "To Love You"
Toraburu actually
I don’t care, post Lala or go away.
>>290083272That's Japanese text. It says To(と) Love (ラブ) る. Toraburu. Trouble.And then right under that is says the reading for it: とらぶる
>>290083277Saying "To Love Ru" is literally talking like a retard
>>290083409Yeah, this is called a "pun"
ToLove.ru
>>290083460It is a pun, but that pun got lost in translation and now you fags don't even know what the name of the series is.
>>290083246nips are helplesspic related is Love It!Sounds like "Ravvitto"call it Rabbit
I'm Glad To Love Ru came out during my adolescent years.
>>290083731>make a pun that makes perfect sense in Japanese>it doesn't make sense in English, because it's not English>faggot who only speaks English: "nips are helpless"
>>290083479Yeah I do, it’s To Love Ru
>>290083246I don't think I've ever been in a situation where I had to pronounce it.
I don't think I ever met a To Love Ru fan who didn't understand the pun.I feel like OP is making up a strawman to be angry at. Or complaining about twitter. I'm putting my money on twitter.
>>290084256It's spelled that way, but it's not pronounced that way (actually it is, but it's not pronounced like English because it's Japanese).
Japs can't pronounce "trouble" by the way.
mikan rape
>>290084381Nobody uses Twitter
>>290084430That's like saying Americans can't pronounce 人力車 since they call it Rickshaw in English.They're not speaking English, retard.
>>290084474Yeah but if I was American I wouldn't name my comic book jinrikisha.
>>290084593But you can 100% use a different language to make your english title a pun.
>>290083246It's been almost 4 centuries and japanese can't even write or pronounce english.
>>290083246>I'll make my title work a pun of how japanese are too lazy to learn pronouncing English/latin languages>But you better pronounce it like how our bad understanding of English mogs the language!Kek, no.
>>290084593Exactly. You'd give it an English pun which wouldn't work in Japanese. Which is exactly what Hasemi did, but the other way around.
Nobody in the western anime community would know what you're talking about if you said you liked the manga/anime "Trouble" even if they know the pun in the series' title.
>>290084914That's because they don't want to. There's a difference between being unable to do something and not wanting to do something. Japan was never colonized.
>>290085128It's not English, dumbass.>>290085169Which is exactly my point: you fags don't even know the name of the series.
>>290085212>Love isn't an English word>To isn't an English word
>>290084593>he pronounced 七人の侍 as Seven Sam-your-eye
>>290085189You will never be japanese
>>290084256In English, to refer to a verb "see" you change it into "to see" but in Japan that'd be -ru.
>>290083246>>290083409That's creative, I didn't know.Thank you for the info OP. I'll still say To Love Ru tho
>>290085233Is Typhoon an English word?
>>290083246I only noticed this because of Toramachine's doujin titles.
>>290085698You mean 台風 because neither To nor Love are not written in japanese.
>>290085797No, I mean typhoon. Is Typhoon an English word?
>>290085797Imagine being this retarded
>>290083246I wish we had more NTR doujins.
>>290085847It is. The Japanese word is 台風, like that other anon said, and isn't even pronounced the same.
Can qe get a spinoff where the mc has a spine and sence of balance?Where is the GTO collab?
>>290083246ufotibble
I thought there were going to be breasts in this thread
Then why is To Heart 2 not called trheartucheckmate autists
I'm having some とらぶる with this thread.
>>290084914I find Engrish funny
>>290086320Too late. The Principal is the main character now.
>>290083246NEW TLR CONTENT IN AUGUST IM HYPED
>>290086320has there ever been a similar manga where a girl falls onto a bunch of cocks?
>>290086421Well....
>>290083246Way to find a non-issue to whine about... Congrats, OP, you faggot.
>all these niggas arguing with OP>OP wasn't being a fagI thought you people were supposed to be anime fans. Where did you all come from?
>>290086231Is ラブ a Japanese word?
>>290086389Because the Japanese title is トゥハートツー
>>290086550India
>>290086989I don't know what your point is. The title clearly spells out "To Love Ru". If the mangaka didn't want that to be relevant he wouldn't have written it like that and would have just written it "とらぶる" only.
>>290083246I know the name is a pun, I know how it is supposed to be pronounced but it doesn't matter, I still pronounce it "toh-rub-roo"
TETA
great thread guyswanted to pop in to say that I want to have sex with Nana
>>290087225We know Principal.
Yabuki is my hero.
>>290087225Welcome, anon. I wanna have sex with Mikan.
>>290087225patrician's choice between the young sisters
>>290087121You recognize that Typhoon is pronounced differently from 台風 but you don't recognize that Love is pronounced differently from ラブ？The logo is stylized to make a pun, that doesn't mean that the title of the series is somehow in English. The title is とらぶる and the logo stylizes that as ToLOVEる. If the title were actually "To Love Ru" then it wouldn't make any sense whatsoever. What the fuck is Ru supposed to be? The series is literally titled Trouble (とらぶる)
Rito needs to get NTR'd.
the real name is to love (are) (you)
YUI LOVE
I'm currently reading this series and I'm surprised I really never saw much love for Haruna. But there's so many nice girls in this series that there's just too many to talk about I guess. >>290087890Take it up with the mangaka. I'm not the one that styled the title like that, nor that one that made it more prominent than the title you consider "proper".
>>290088412It's not a matter of what I consider. It's literally called とらぶる
>>290088765It's also literally called To Love る. I don't know why you're ignoring half of the title.
>>290088412Because she has the most haters, but she is my favorite.
>>290086370Fixed. Here ya go anon.
This thread is super uninteresting.
>>290084194the nips are indeed helpless
>>290083246TO ROVE RU
>>290089938Because it lacks Yamiposting
Can you hear it?His dumb, autistic moan.
Strawberry or Chocolate milk?
>>290083246Maybe they shouldn't make puns for languages they can't pronounce, then
>>290084256OP destroyed kek
ok WISE GUY, now tell me thishow do you pronounce her manga, School Live, WITHOUT LOOKING IT UP FIRST
>>290090028
>>290090265Wife
>>290090276How do you convince her to marry you?
>>290090404Anon must own a taiyaki stand.
>>290083467>>290083246This, I still haven't figured out how is this related to Russia with the .Ru domain
>>290084424This is just the same shit where the Japanese will put an X in the middle of something and either not want you to pronounce it or call it CROSS. And don't get me started on all the time a string of numbers they want you to say as the number of numbers instead of how it's written. Which is really only twice, and by the same guy, but also fuck you.
>>290083246Big, if true
>>290090404Unironically by being nice
>>290083246Nips are retarded and can't into english. What else is new?
>>290083246Why are you blaming fluent speakers for Japs pronoucing shit wrong?
>>290083246It’s pronounced To-Rabu-RuIt’s a pun
For me It's Lala
I thought it was called Mikan sex
>>290091212Really counter intuitive that the title isn’t Yami Reverse Rape desu
>>290083246I thought this was obvious? The logo even has the name in hiragana literally spelling out the pronunciation and if you have at least one braincell you can put two and two together.
>>290083246You could say they have trouble pronouncing it
>>290090468Imagine not understanding stylization
>>290090750It's not English, retard
>>290088412just take a gander at this popularity poll>>290088942cmon, don't just like her to be a contrarian. she has so much going for her
>>290090265>>290090276good wife, yes
>>290083246The pun doesn't work with english phonetics.Hence why everyone just calls it "To Love Ru" and there isn't any real reason not to unless you're actually fluent in Japanese.
Leak from Jump Giga when?
What a shitty TLR thread. Post Mikan.
>>290083246I figured it's because the translators knew it was a double pun, but didn't know how to articulate it to a 2000s audience. Same as Love to Lie Angle
>>290085189>I speak like a retard on purposeColonizers owned.
>>290093121I think Yabuki insisted on the title because he figured English speakers would understand the pun.
What a shitty TLR thread. Post Yami.
>>290088893Ru needs more love, it's true
>>290083246The pun only makes sense with the Japanese pronunciation which is Toraburu since To Love Ru and Trouble are pronounced the same like that when you do a phonetic transliteration in kana but have different pronunciation in English
This was the good shit
What a good TLR thread. Post Mea.
I fucking miss the weekly spot the pussy chapters.
>>290083246If you are so smart, what's the modern spiritual successor of Toraburu?
I fucking hate gay MCs. They deserve to be NTRd.
>>290094235Yuna.
>>290094570I was reading a super-interesting thread on futaba's archives like one years ago about NTR, and they were discussing that NTR as a genre was born as hate fanfiction.
>>290094235Yumene Connect
One-shot on the 17thAlso, comments are not happy about the fig, too pricey for that not so high quality
>>290094952not even this thread's dedicated yami-fag, but damn that poster of her goes hard
>>290094858I just binged Yumene Connect and it's like that Ratatouille meme. It's a shameless copy of TLR and I'm here for it. The art is not as good as Yabuki's but it's lewder in many ways. My only complaint is the lack of loli or petite girls compared to TLR (the nurse sister is great but we need more of her).
>>290094952I concept is nice but yeah, they could have picked something less awkward to depict in terms of pose and outfits.
>>290090072I don't mind it but they've certainly beaten the icecream horse to death.
Yui marriage and impregnation because that’s my most fucked up and twisted fetish
>>290098114We know Principal and we believe you can do it!
>>290083281you really never caught it?japs and their engrish is pretty easy to understandso the joke in the title was quite obviousi still call it to love ru
Yami
It "Urusei Yatsura" but without the charm and even more pointless incoherent "plot".......
>>290088942I honestly don't get all the hate.She's not as zany as most of the others but she's still pretty good.
I want to fuck Mikan and Momo
>>290100661She would have been inspired from the artist's wife who cheated and dropped him. Though it never has been anything more than a speculation. A guy kinda believed seeing a drop of Haruna presence in the story the moment this affair blew out and drew a line. More than enough for /a/ who's essentially made of gossiping and drama starving little bitches.
>>290100661I think most people just don't like shy girls in this kind of series, and Haruna is the prime example of a doormat. Although that was what made her appealing to 14yo me.
I call it "toraburu" my first language allows itAlso adulthood is realizing Lala is the perfect wife.
>>290088942Shit Taste as Fuck
>>290083246The Japanese don't pronounce it "Trouble" either.
>>290101288>She would have been inspired from the artist's wife who cheated and dropped him.Hot.
love trouble
What the fuck happened to the main girl? It seemed like she disappeared at some point.
>>290083246WELL I CALL IT "YOSHI YOSHI LALA-CHAN!", MUCH BETTER IMO!!
>>290083246Hang on, is this back?
>>290083246Who is Ru then?
>>290100180urusei yatsura was just the anime version of bewitched
>>290107523Is it gay if you nut in your space ghost parasite demon loli
>>290100180Post hands
Best OP was the 1st series OVAhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_0dgBI0ivI
Wait until OP finds out about Yu-Gi-Oh! card names.
>>290107635>Is it gay if you nut in your [...] loliNo
>>290106594Replaced by momo, the second ,momo showed up , lala stopped being the main girl
>>290084447I use X everyday.
>>290108224How sad
>>290108523I mean it was inevitable but im surprised they did it so soon, maybe one day itll switch back again (probably not)
>>290087225>>290087417Based I love Nana more than Momo
Yamiyami
