Hilarious, perverted but all out fun! For those not looking for a serious anime...To Love RU is worth a try!
In 2006, the series "To Love Ru" (which in Japanese "Toraburu" can be read as in English "Trouble") is a manga series by Saki Hasemi ("Moetan", "Pinky:st") and Kentaro Yabuki ("Black Cat", "Yamato Gensouki") was created and is currently featured in Weekly Shonen Jump.

In need of a great dub!
First, this is heavy into fan-service so it's probably not suitable for children.
This is a comedy romance of the boy-stuck-in-the-middle type. It's also sci-fi as the female lead character is a princess from another planet. Regardless of the fan-service it is a GREAT story. It deserved a great dub, but so far it's only subtitled. I look forward to seeing this corrected...
I liked the Manga better, honestly
If you are a fan of the manga version, then this is a good DVD to buy. If you're just picking up on the story now, then it probably isn't a good investment. It would be hard to understand and most of the story is different/shortened to fit into 13 episodes. You can see how unpopular it is in America because there is no English Dub, it is in Japanese with English subtitles. Plus, there was next to no promotion for this collection so most people have little knowledge about its history and background.
