To LOVE-Ru Darkness (anime)

To Love Ru: Darkness is the sequel to the first manga series and the third anime series in the To Love Ru franchise. It is more mature than To Love Ru & Motto To Love Ru; it has moved away from it's usual comedy to a more serious overtone, and now provides much more graphic fanservice. The series was announced on March 31st, 2012 and the first episode aired on October 5th of the same year on Tokyo MX.



The To Love Ru: Darkness anime series is composed of twelve episodes and two OVAs: one that serves as a pilot episode, another that serves as a side story between episodes 8 and 9. The anime is based on the To Love Ru: Darkness manga by Saki Hasemi and Kentaro Yabuki, and is more closely adapted to the manga than the first two series.

The opening theme for the anime is "Rakuen Project" by Ray; the ending theme is "Foul Play ni Kurari" by Kanon Wakeshima. The anime is produced by Xebec and directed by Atsushi Ootsuki.
