Sora no Otoshimono Final: Eternal My Master

It is my subjective view of this anime...so provokes are not welcomed..

Before I mention about this movie, There are a few things I want to say.

I really really really love this anime. Afrter watching 'Sora no Otoshimono' I cried a lot..The story was touching, the characters were very attractive, and the music(OST, OPs, EDs, etc) was great. At least I thought so.

After I finished watching the 1st season of the anime, I watched Forte, Tokei-Jikake no Angeloid, and so on..

And recently I watched the final series of the sora no otoshimono, Sora no otoshimono final eternal my master.

The most regretful thing was the story..and I ... think other fans would feel the same.
According to the PV of this movie, it said that this movie will contain the truth of the original manga, which made me look forward to this and excited..

But after I finished watching this movie, the questions I had before still wasn't solved and it only left more. Additionaly, the story was sort of incomplete..which made me anooyed and puzzled at the same time.

I was shocked as the story unfolded. At first, without any detailed explanation, tomoki and ikaros were going to synapse with some purpose.
And then, ikaros tells tomoki about her past and why she must take tomoki to synapse. Since I alreay watched the original manga, I could understand what they were talking about but to those who haven't watched the manga, it would be an very unkind beginning.
And then suddenly the scene changes and the time goes backwards...
I can't remember more specefic details about the story but the ending was extremely impressive(not for a too good reason) that I will never forget it.
It might be a spoiler to the fans who haven't watched it yet so I won't say exactly what happened. But the time goes back to the present and the synapse appears again..
Actually, the ending was disappointing, but not only disappointing, it left a strong aftertaste. Though I couldn't watch how tomoki recreated the world, and how he took a revenge on Minos, and other various scenes, I still liked it.
I could watch the happy moments of tomoki's everyday life and about the ikaros's expressionless face.
It felt more like an long OVA than a final movie, but I'm still satisfied with it.

On the other hand, the art was pretty nice.
The hair color of many characters changed a lot and was more neat. The line had become a lot thinner and coloring became much lighter compared to the anime. In my opinion, I sort of liked this but because I knew the reason, I wasn't so happy about it. I'll say about this later..

The biggest difference was the eye. Before the color much thichker and I think the eyebrows were more detailed. But after the inner part of the eye looked more simple as just filling the color with a monotone(In my private opinion).

About the Sound, It was good and not so good at the same time.
Actually, All of the musics used in this movie weren't new except the 'Always Smiling' and the 'ERSE', and BGM-1,2,3,4.
Many musics were from the OST albums of the first and second season of the anime(Tenshi ga Kureta Gekibanshuu, Heart ga Me wo Samasu Ongakushu, etc)
Since I loved all the musics of soraoto, I was expecting a new album including many new OSTs but I could only get a few more songs..

The Characters had changed a lot from the first and second season of the anime and the first movie. Especially, Ikaros had changed more than any other characters. She even disobeyed her master tomoki and tried to throw away him(Of course, it wasn't her fault. That bad bad bad tomoki oredered ikaros to remove her imprinting from tomoki in order to watch ikaros's smile although that wasn't the best solution.).
Also there was something interesting about Kazane Hiyori. After she disappeared because of the dimension bomb(?) in the first movie, she said that she had went to many parallel universes but could only find tomoki in this universe. I wasn't able to understand what exactly she meant..(After all Soraoto isn't science anime haha)

Enjoyment...hmm..there were many erotic scenes but since I focused on the main story, it wasn't that interesting,,but was still fine.
I don't have much thing to say about this.

Overall. Yes, there is a reason why this movie was so different and had such an ending.
The Original company which made the first and second season of the anime and the movie tokei jikake no angeloid was 'AIC A.S.T.A.'.
But because of the insufficiency of funds for various reasons, the company sort of fails and the staff members of AIC establishes a new anime company called 'Production IMS'.
The reasons why the art style changed and why the story was unkind and incomplete could be partially explained.

Thanks for reading my review..
Since my natvie language is Korean instead of Englinsh, there might be some grammatical errors.

This review will be done in the point of view of someone who hasn't read any of the manga.

Story: 4/10
The story was at best decent. If you were expecting something like the scene where Nymph's master tells her to bring her pet and shit goes down, prepare to be disappointed. The movie has about 5 whole minutes of serious moments, confusing but serious, and then the rest of the movie is filler/fan service. The first few minutes show the world being destroyed and people dying and all this crazy shit happening with no explanation. The beginning and ending was good although it felt confusing. The ... first few minutes showed promise but they never developed on it. I wasn't sure if I was missing some plot because I didn't read the manga but the middle part felt pointless. They do a flash back and show a lot of filler. Characters chilling and talking and making jokes. It didn't have very much to do with the opening and ending and felt like jokes instead of a serious movie. You could remove most of the middle part and the over story will still be intact. The main poster is Ikaros holding Tomoki while her wings are on fire, I was expecting something badass. The trailer showed all the action scenes and left out all the filler scenes. Instead of watching a movie I paid $10 to watch, it felt like I was watching an OVA. If you wanted a light hearted comedy then this movie will make you happy. I expected a lot more than a comedy and wanted something serious.

Art: 8/10
The art is still really good. It carries on over from the show. Tomoki looks a little different but not to the point it becomes a problem. Everyone else looks exactly like I remember. Nothing in the movie happened that really let the art shine so I can't really give it a high score. They used a lot of flash backs within the flash backs, scenes from the show so it was weird seeing Tomoki change back and forth.

Sound 8/10
The sound is still good just like the show. The sound track is still beautiful as well as the ending song done by Blue Drops. Blue drops has done most of the OPs and EDs of the show and movies, so hearing them return was a nice treat. I recommend everyone check out the end song cause it's really good. Not much else to say about the soundtrack besides that it was good.

Character: 7/10
Can't say much about the characters. Only Ikaros changes a lot, and Tomoki a little. Ikaros has the most character development and we get to see her change from being an emotionless girl to something more interesting. All the other characters seem to stay the same. No one I can remember changed that much. Ikaros became a real character at the end and Tomoki's relationship between Ikaros and himself grew stronger which was probably the only good thing to come out of this movie.

Enjoyment: 7/10
I did enjoy it a lot but for different reasons. I wasn't touched because of it's touching story. I was mostly just laughing at the jokes and being aroused by the fan service. I was expecting the dark story but got something completely different. Although I wasn't completely disappointed I wasn't too happy with it. In my mind I thought shit was gonna go down and people die and tears shed but instead we got 45 minutes of characters running around making a few jokes and Tomoki being perverted.

Overall: 6/10
I can't recommend this anime to all Sora no Otoshimono fans. Overall it felt like it could have just been an OVA rather than a movie. I believe the original plan was to make a season 3 but instead made a movie. So instead of having 4 hours of content, they some how managed to shorten it to 49 minutes, and you can guess how that turned out. Maybe I hyped it too much, people were telling me that they were adapting the serious part of the manga and I got a few minutes of that but for the most part it was just jokes which is what I got from the anime. I recommend people just stream it rather than buy it or go watch it in theaters if you are lucky. If you wanted a light hearted story then this is perfect for you. If you wanted more then you don't have to rush out and see it.

"How can we make the most unsatisfying ending possible, while still technically concluding something?"

I am convinced that this is what the directors/writers/whoever asked themselves when making this film.

Sora no Otoshimono Final: Eternal My Master is a film that replaced the would-be third season of Sora no Otoshimono, an anime I find sadly underrated. It's often cast aside as yet another pile of trash fanservice, when in fact it has an incredibly deep storyline, as well as fantastic emotion and drama. SnO Final forgets about all of that-- no, they deliberately ignore it in this mess of a film.

The SnO manga had mountains of story left ... to tell. A third season would have barely managed to fit all of that in, but it was still possible. When it was confirmed that we were getting a second film instead, that dream was crushed. Yet there was still hope. Towards its end the anime deviated from the manga, making it possible that this new movie might provide a unique ending while still borrowing key elements from the source material. We were worried, but we had faith. What we got, however, was nothing of the sort.

The movie begins with Ikaros' dramatic climax from the second-to-last chapter. Immediately this is unsettling; there was no way they could fit the massive final arc and all of its setup into this 50 minute timeblock. The scene progresses, and ends approximately where the chapter does. It then cuts away to several months prior, a typical day at the Sakurai household. From this point to the penultimate scene, the film is nothing but random filler chapters meshed together to create a bastardization of the romantic progression between Ikaros and Tomoki. Chapters are placed where they don't belong for no rhyme or reason, important plot points are tweaked to move along this clusterfuck of a story, and the supporting cast is reduced to comic relief and pointless exposition. But this isn't even the worst offense. Consistently, the film teases all of the major plotlines. ALL of them! And what do we get from it? NOTHING!! Absolutely nothing, as if to say "All this cool stuff happened, but you don't get to see it." I may not speak for everyone, but I for one was offended by this. This movie's lack of care for the audience's appreciation of detail was insulting. In the end, Ikaros' dramatic climax concludes, and the movie ends... bitter, and incomplete.

One may argue that speaking from the point of view of somebody who read the manga is unfair, and that I should take it as a piece of the anime and nothing more. Ok, let's try that.

Right off the bat I have no clue what's going on. What is Zeus? Why are they attacking it? What happened to Nymph and Sugata? Where is everybody else? Why is the world falling apart?
All of these questions come from the first scene alone, and the rest of the movie fails to answer any of them. This movie expects you to have read the manga, and is impossible to review from any perspective otherwise. That said, I feel it does an incredible injustice to the manga and its fans, blatantly disregarding everything that made it so special in the first place, just to say they half-assedly resolved their love story.

I've seen many disappointing anime in my time, but none are as painful as a disappointing ending to a good anime. Sora no Otoshimono Final: Eternal My Master was just that.
