So they're just going to skip over the 2009 6-episode TLR OVA? How can they ignore such a vital link in the complicated and intricate plot that spans all 3 animations?
EDIT: Though it also could be that they're fighting with licensors over reverse importation concerns. 6 R2 DVDs at 7000 yen or whatever apiece vs. 1 R1 DVD at ~$35 is an obvious choice.

But not the OVA series? But those introduce Lala's sisters and other stuff that leads into the 2nd season, thus, leaving anyone who didn't watch the OVA's confused when starting the 2nd season. Here we go again...

Still unsure whether to pick up this series or not. I hear it's popular in great part thanks to Kentaro Yabuki's character designs. I'm a sucker for harem anime, but I think I can live without watching this one. Hmm...

I'm guessing they're keeping the count down to 12 episodes & excluding the OVAs to keep it to a 2 disc set.
Which it is weird to skip the OVAs. As that's where Nana & Momo were first introduced in the anime. Celine(both forms) & Rito's female form were also introduced in the OVAs. Without those OVAs, anyone that hasn't followed the manga wouldn't know where these characters came from. |

Sentai, you've been licensing like a series a day this week! Please, PLEASE don't overdo it to the point where you need to cut staff
 So much bad news lately, I don't want to see you have to do something similar (which you've also done once before).
New licenses are awesome, but if it becomes too much, well, I've just been paranoid lately with the industry

Maybe they got the ova's as well and are just going to release them all together in a 3 disk set?
But then again, the OVA's were manga extras, so that could mean a no. |

Uhh, they responded to my e-mail with "who said [we] skipped them"?
So they may actually have them. |

This series was disappointedly bad. The first "To Love-Ru" was okay with some laughs here and there. I don't think I laughed a single time watching "Motto." It's just unfunny fan-service one scene after another :/

I love how people in this thread are lecturing an anime licensing company how they "skipped" a series as if an anime licensing company would overlook such a thing about the anime they are licensing.

Difference is alot of Sentai's shows are sub-only, which are more likely to turn a profit than taking a risk dubbing every show like FUNi does. |

Argh. C'mon Sentai, start releasing subtitled Blu-rays already. I bought the original since it was DVD-only even in Japan, but I won't be buying the sequel on DVD.

And really, it's not so much lecturing as questioning going on here. If they did have the OVA, as burnpsy's e-mail implies, why announce the later TV series first? Why not announce the entries in order, or all at once? Unless of course they're trying to stir up interest and controversy by making fans think they've skipped the OVAs, in which case they've scored a reasonable success. |
