>when your favorite shows usually are lesser known ones such as Hyouge Mono, Saraiya Goyou, Fafner, Yamato and you despise harems more than anything else but then, because Xebec made it, you decide to give Love-Ru a try and suddenly start to enjoy yourself more than you have in a long time and fall for pic related in the process
W-whats going on?!

Have you READ Love Hina. (Warning: Anime Adaptions of Ken Akamatsus work usuallly suck for some reason.)
Also:
I really liked the answer.

>To LOVE-ru is super interesting.
It wouldn't hold up if it were only Ecchi.
I wonder what the underlying themes are?

Not them, but here are some:
>monogamy vs harem
>platonic love vs romantic love
>timelessness of love
>love vs lust (i.e. sex)
>love as medicine
>abusive love
>vulnerability
>femininity vs modesty
>evolution of feelings
>friendship as a pretense for love
THE NATURE OF LOVE is the main motif, but there's also:
>embracing the unpredictability of life
>finding beauty in simple things
>the burden of power
>being true to oneself
>appearance vs reality [it's a meme in literary analysis, but it applies here]
