I know some time has passed, but I'm still hoping Sentai will also license the OVA.

Sentai sure has been acquiring lots of titles I'm interested in. Now if only they'd do something about their crap packaging.

How can they air it at 9 PM EDT tonight when it doesn't air for 20 hours in Japan? That has to be a typo.

This is an instant get. I'm also hoping for the OVA's, but To LOVE-Ru Darkness is the best of To LOVE-Ru so I'm glad it's licensed.

I hope someone would license the manga. I'm sure the anime will be good, but I'd be heaven if the licensed the manga. Smile

Countdown, which I've never known to be wrong, has it airing in 19 hours. They always count the original airing station.

http://animecalendar.net/

This also has it airing on Saturday at 1 AM.

Plus, the biggest thing is that there are no raws out. A series as big as this would get raws out near instantly.

In any case if they licensed it then they already have all the raws, fully possible they are just streaming it on different days then Japan.

If thats the case, its the first time I ever would have heard of an anime airing in America before Japan. Not that I'd call it impossible that it may be true, just I'd be very very surprised.

That's good and all, but I'll be waiting for the AT-X broadcast. I won't want Tien ruining more anime.

Well, yeah. Watching a show about cartoon boobs that doesn't show cartoon boobs is pointless.

I have the motto one and it uncensored, I assume that since it is being streamed it will be uncensored, I could be wrong though, only a few hours and we will see.

Motto aired censored in the first airing, and we had to wait a week for the ATX airing to be uncensored. ATX generally uncensors its stuff since its a premium station. This being streamed shouldn't change anything, since the official site says its using the MX airing, not the ATX.

You have the DVD, correct? That's of course going to be uncensored, who would want to sell a censored product in America? That also aired on AT-X two years ago, which is the version anyone intrigued should want to watch. CR, Sentai, FUNi, whomever the licensee may be, are typically given censored versions for their streams, whereas AT-X is a premium channel on Japanese TV, so they can air uncensored materials if they've received them from the studio.

In this case, I'll absolutely be waiting for that second airing. There's no value in watching this series censored, just like reading the manga censored would be equally pointless.
