Letting Risa and Mio run wild is never a good idea.
Part 1 summary:
Risa, Mio, Lala, Haruna and Rito are walking home when they spot Yami sitting on a street bench. Seeing that Yami is reading fashion magazines, Risa and Mio drag Yami into a clothing store to give her an Earth fashion makeover. While Yami is trying out clothes, Lala pulls the curtains open and this causes Yami to punch Rito in the face. Eventually Risa and Mio settle on buying Yami a casual shirt and short skirt. Shortly after leaving the store, the group is confronted by three punks who want to the girls to party with them. Rito tries to dissolve the situation so those three guys won't be beaten to a pulp, but Yami ends up beating them down anyways. After the fight, Yami notices that she ripped her new skirt and feels a bit disappointed.
It's not like Rito is actually capable of stopping Yami from beating up these three stooges.
The next day, Rito and Lala watch Yami read books in the library. Rito wonders if Yami gave up her interest in Earth fashion, but Risa and Mio demonstrates that's not the case by flipping up Yami's skirt, showing that she's wearing the panties from the store yesterday. This leads to Yami punching Rito in the face once again.
Obligatory cute screen shot of Yami.
I'm a human ghost who works for an alien doctor, which means I'm extra special.
Part 2 summary:
Lala and Rito visit Mikado-sensei's clinic where Oshizu is working as an assistant. Oshizu goes out to buy some medicine and on her way back she runs into Haruna (with her dog Meron) who claims that someone is following her when she walks her dog at night. Haruna goes to the clinic with Oshizu and Lala agrees to help after learning Haruna's plight. Lala pulls out her body-switching machine and switches bodies with Haruna, and then she plans to bait the stalker. The friends return to the park where Lala (in Haruna's body) walks Meron while Oshizu, Rito and Haruna (in Lala's body) secretly follow. Not long after the plan starts, Rito's group spots someone in a trench coat following and closing on Lala. Lala notices the stalker as well and tries to grab the stalker, but the stalker shakes her off. The stalker tries to escape but is stopped by Oshizu's telekinesis. When questioned by the group, the "stalker" reveals herself to be a canine alien who is enamored with Meron. At this moment, Oshizu's irrational fear of dogs kicks in and she pummels the alien with her telekinesis which eventually sends the alien to Mikado's clinic.
Well, more patients means more money right?
Part 3 summary:
Zastin receives a message from King Deviluke telling him to retrieve Nana and Momo, who have sneaked their way on to Earth. Back on Earth, Rito goes to bathroom to drain the bath tub, but to his surprise he finds Nana and Momo, both of whom are naked. After getting dressed, Nana and Momo talk with their older sister Lala while Rito and Mikan watch. Momo asks Lala how are things progressing between her and Rito while Nana complains that Rito looked perversely at their naked bodies while they were in the bathroom. Momo also reveals that she has the ability to communicate with any plants, and Nana has the ability to communicate with animals. At this moment, Zastin and the other two bodyguards arrives in the room looking for the twins. It turns out the twin sisters ran away from home because they are sick of history class. This is a behaviour that Lala can relate to as she ran away from home before for the same reason. As Zastin is busy explaining the importance of learning history, Nana and Momo have already left the house. The Deviluke sisters stop under a bridge and starts arguing with each other. They eventually get into a fight in where they grab each other's tails (the weak spot of Devilukeans). As the sisters struggle, Zastin and the guards arrive to take them back home. Zastin knows that royal children have a lot of power, but he thinks that he can handle the two sisters since they don't have wacky inventions at their disposal like Lala. Unfortunately, both Nana and Momo possess one of those summoning cell phones from Lala, and so Nana summons a giant boar and Momo summons a man-eating tree to their bidding. Rito, Mikan, and Lala arrive on the scene and Rito and Mikan also get caught up in the mayhem. At the end of the day, King Deviluke receives a message from his twin daughters telling him that they will stay on Earth for a while. The annoyed monarch then scolds Zastin for being useless.
Momo and Nana sure know how to have fun together.
At least your daughters are happy and enjoying themselves.

Another alright episode of To Love-Ru, but the censoring is becoming pretty stupid. I understand the censoring of nipples, but panties? What's even stranger is that they censor panties shots from some angles but show them in plain view in others. If you are going to censor, at least be consistent about it. Still, the beams of decency aren't enough to make me watch the uncensored AT-X broadcast which unfortunately is delayed by one week.
As for the stories covered this week, they were based on three okay chapters from the manga, which meant that none of the segments were especially funny or better than the others. The highlights of the episode were the shot of Yami blushing at the end of the part 1 and Momo and Nana's "tail fight" in part 3. The "tail fight" felt naughtier than the manga version, but it's probably just a benefit/side-effect of the anime form factor. Don't remember if Momo did any licking though in the manga though.
Part 3 also received some minor changes compared to the manga to keep the anime continuity consistent. In the manga, the story actually happens before the appearance of the current form of Celine, but Celine is shown here in the anime. It's not that continuity in To Love-Ru really matter much though, and the anime originally skipped a couple of "significant" segments from the manga such as how Oshizu received her new body or the appearance of the current Celine. I wonder if the anime version will ever get around to covering those chapters.
