To Love-Ru Episode 18 - Bring in the Furries
Saruyama x Female-Cat-Alien-Assassin-Whore
Okay not really. But the alien really is female, a cat(like being), an assassin, and kind of a whore. But hey, she’s an animal and animals have their wild instincts. You can’t really blame her right?
Summary
Lala gets a delivery from space and is called up to the roof to receive it. However, the box contained a female cat-like alien assassin that has come to take Lala’s life. During the fight, the cat alien falls over from stomach pains. It turns out that the assassin is actually pregnant.
Rito and Saruyama bring the assassin into the nurse’s office and Saruyama is left alone to watch over her. For some reason, Saruyama seems to be experienced at delivering babies and is able to deliver the assassin’s baby successfully.
It is revealed that the assassin does not know who the father of the baby is and eventually it comes down to the assassin wanting Saruyama to be the baby’s daddy. Of course, Saruyama refuses and tries desperately to get away from becoming a “souvenir”. It is only when the assassin finally leaves that Saruyama realizes that he may have been happier leaving Earth.
Impressions
So basically, all this episode was about was how an alien mommy got the hots for the guy who delivered her baby and how he didn’t want to be no baby’s daddy. I’m all for giving side characters their own episodes, but why the hell does Saruyama get one? Not only that, but the episode did not make you appreciate the character that is was so focused on. It actually made me think Saruyama was even more of a pathetic idiot than he was portrayed to be earlier. I guess the main purpose of the episode was to show off Saruyama’s hidden baby delivering skills huh?
I’m glad Yami is getting more screen time, but he role in these episodes seem to be relatively useless. If you’re not going to make her do anything, then why even bother putting her in? Even the other girls got the pleasure of beating the crap out of Saruyama.
Next episode involves the traditional hot springs episode every harem/love comedy series seems to require. I would say that I’m looking forward to seeing what this episode might bring, but I just don’t feel like it this time.

@EvilDevil: I’m always afraid of the doujins.
@houck: I wouldn’t say “weird”… just a different “culture”.
@Motoko: Yeah, the next episode seems very generic.
@Fabienne: I’ve come this far already and with only a few episodes left, I thought I should just finish it.
Also, how fscking WEAK was it for everyone to do a runner on a pregnant woman in distress? … and /then/ come back and get gratitude for it??
