Series in more sentences:
An incompetent angel is given the task to play Earth's Cupid, even though she's never experienced love herself and has adapted a lazy practice of forcing people together she personally deems a cute couple. One day a target misinterprets her visit and kisses her, which manages to warm her up to the concept of love. She writes her name next to his in her Death Note rip-off (confirmed) and binds their fates together by doing so, but because she still doesn't understand the rules, she joyfully adds 2 other girls to the relationship as well.
What a disgusting anime. If you've watched it already, you might think this is an exaggerated description to give to a bouncy series like Love Tyrant, but this is how the show tries to hide the fact it's disgusting.
I don't like incest, it's not romantic.
I don't like student and teacher relationships, it's not charming.
I don't like obsessed yaoi fangirls, it's disrespectful towards.. well, in this case everybody, really. Please, let us never give the power of matchmaking to a yaoi fangirl.
I'll be fair and say that these topics can be done well, but it needs to be done with seriousness. Being madly in love with your sibling is a serious problem and an emotional ride for the people involved, if anything else. A teacher being obsessed over his student is also something no outsider should or would root for. And no teacher should confess to.
When people with these socially unacceptable issues are surrounded by dimwits who act casual about it, or treat it like a funny gag, it loses the value it already didn't have. I doubt it that anybody ever laughed at incest, so why did the writers even add an incestuous character? A girl peeking on her sister while changing clothes is not funny or charming. In fact, later they add another girl hungry for her sibling. They really felt the need to show us two examples for some reason.
These romances should be considered a problem, or at least kept a secret, but the series presents it as something cute. This'll never be cute, you insane warped minds.
Still, the angel is the worst character. She's this childish bother who already had no reason getting involved with this boy's life, and then pretty much turns into a background character the moment the plot makes its start. She's all about making stupid faces and quirky remarks, while the other characters attempt to continue the story. She's a shameless waste of space. In any show worth checking out she and the boy would be the only main characters and there'd be an actual focus on their growing love.
One of the girls she added to the "relationship" is this yandere character who attempts to kill the boy pretty much every episode. Would've been funny if she was in any other anime but this. She and her 2 relatives feel out of place; they are insane and have unexplained superpowers. They'd be locked up behind bars in any normal world. I bet you have to read the manga to know what is going on, but I don't wish to know what's going on, Love Tyrant is not worth it.
This anime is a bad trailer with some dubious choices. The yandere girl's incestuous sister makes me barf, but for some reason the show decided to only give her a backstory and the most healthy relationship with the main character. It's sad that their rushed story arch is the most interesting thing the show has to offer.
Love Tyrant just reminded me of Monster Musume; this horrible anime about a boy that has to take in and care for a growing group of monster girls who all want to marry him, and all are incredibly annoying. I still wonder how I let myself give that an average rating. Love Tyrant isn't getting one.
