Sora no Otoshimono

While watching episode of Sora no Otoshimono, I thought it was going to be a serious fantasy romance-filled action anime. This was because the way the plot was set, and the way Tomoki has his dreams. I really thought it would've been a perfect setting for that type of anime.

Then, shit happens. The anime goes totally random and it made me LOL; so hard I almost chocked and spilled soda over my laptop. The humor in Sora no Otoshimono is random, but yet it always seems to make me laugh. The ecchi things stuff tomoki does has yet ceased to bore me.

The characters ... are also, setup in such perfect proportions for a comedy anime. A perverted boy with his childhood friend, creepy senpai and class prez. Each character has his/her share of randomness to make you laugh.

(The humor and story of Sora no Otoshimono, I can't help but say, reminds me of Inukami. They way Yoko punishes Keita is so similar to what happens to tomoki.)

Sora no otoshimono is a must watch, if you like this kind of comedy anime. Especially if you like fan service comedy, I guarantee you, you'll laugh your ass off.

*Dramatic ending to an overall ecchi humour series*

“The following story depicts the downfall of my quiet and peaceful life.” – Tomoki Sakurai

If someone is telling you this anime has flying pantsu (underwear), what will come to mind? People throwing pantsu at each other? Or if you are a bit more creative, perhaps you may be imagining them using the pantsu to wrap around a volleyball for practice? (I really got that as a response before). But will you believe me if I say the underwear in this show can really fly like a bird (heck, they even fly in a wonderful formation in the sky). ... Furthermore, what if those pantsu can explode? Yes, they can go KABOOM! How’s that for a change? Assuming you are still hanging around, let me give this one final piece of advice. Stop reading right here if flying and exploding pantsu is not what you want to see because it only gets much more exciting and chances are you won’t like it (ie. you can drop this show from you list).

Now for the rest of us, where should we begin? How about the ordinary lifestyle of the young man, our protagonist of the story, Tomoki Sakurai? All he ever wished from his small town was to live a peaceful and quiet life where he can eat, sleep, and play. He even made a motto for himself, “peace and quiet is the best”. One night under a cherry tree, a pretty angel came falling down toward our hero and that is how his quiet and peaceful life comes to an end. Who might this girl be? Where did she come from? What kind of past did she have? All these questions will propel the story forward and eventually develop into something much more than what anyone would have initially thought possible from this type of show.

Unsurprisingly a great deal of character developments, in terms of personal growth, lies with the fallen angel. As the series progresses, she not only begin to show depth as a character, but at the same time get involved in a funny four-way romance. Various characters’ past have also been revealed which explains a lot about their current self, particularly their behavior. This also made them more real and believable as a whole.

The sound department really deserves special recognition for this show. Not nothing does it have a special, one of a kind, ending per episode, but each ending also features the aftermath of what happened at the end of the episode (think of it as some form of epilogue). As an example, I strongly urge you to look up the second ending (flying pantsu ending). In addition to the various endings, the unique background music (BGM), that does not often repeat itself, also deserves honourable mention. Often times I feel that I was nearly going in tears thanks to these BGM. They make a strong compliment to the already excellent series.

Sounds come in many different forms. Music obviously counts as one, but voicing is another, especially in the anime industry. Some voices can make a character seem like a lifeless zombie or can totally repel viewers from watching further. Others can bring life to a character, making them more lively and believable. Fortunately, Sora no Otoshimono has a large group of talented casts that helped make the characters come to life and also aided the comedy aspect of the show. If I were to select one seiyu from the group whom I believe have performed the best, it will have to be Souichirou Hoshi (Kira from Gundam SEED, Keiichi from Nigurashi no Naku Koro ni). His ultra hilarious performance as Tomoki, the protagonist, played a key role in the overall success of the series in my opinion. Though his voice may be hard to get used to at times, his role as Tomoki is certainly refreshing, highly different from most of his previous character voices.

You may think that there is probably nothing else that is good about this series. You are dead wrong. The ultimate selling point of Sora no Otoshimono lies in the animation. While it does not have the unique animation techniques like those we often seen by SHAFT, this series cannot be taken lightly either. Production quality is top notch. With smooth fluid-like animation, great scene transitions, and consistently level of high quality production by the studio, all made this show an eye candy to watch. Of course this is especially true if you are into ecchi-fan service. But even if you are an action fan, you will not be disappointed as the series totally shines with its animation. You have to see it to believe it. Certainly one of the best quality anime (animation-wise) of the Fall 2009 season.

To be honest, I am not an extremely big fan of ecchi comedy. But Sora no Otoshimono completely changed my view on this genre. I was really drawn in by the emotional scenes multiple times throughout the series. Similarly, I was also captivated by the very sad, yet powerful, scenes toward the end of the show. It certainly showed us that Sora no Otoshimono is not just about pure ecchi humour, but actually have a strong background story to back it up! I would also like to applaud the production studio, AIC A.S.T.A. for a job well done in adapting the original material from the manga. Lastly if you have read the entire review, do yourself a favour and watch the series now. It is only 13 episodes long, so why not give it a shot?

When you see the phrase "generic, mindless fanservice, you expect an anime thats just horrible. Fortunately however, Sora No Otoshimono is anything but. Surprisingly well done and developed, Sora No Otoshimono takes you on unforgettable ride.

Story
The story at first sounds really generic. Small town, childhood friend who happens to live next door and is well endowed, and a mysterious "angel" falling from the sky. Yeah, so it is generic BUT throughout the series, the story gains more depth and eventually becomes interesting and enthralling. As a reader of the manga, the plot follows it to the dot and the pacing is also quite similar. Sometimes ... it does feel slightly rushed but keep in mind they are trying to condense about 5 volumes of manga into 13 episodes. The more you delve into the universe the more interesting it gets.

Animation
One word :wow
The animation in this series is flawless. The quality of the animation is simply amazing and this anime isnt even based on action. Animation is smooth and consistent throughout the whole series and camera angles are interesting and dynamic enough to add realism in dialouge. In every scene there is something moving and in most cases it is multiple objects (i.e consistant blinking, arm gestures etc). The bigger scenes that incompass massive explosions and giant crap are also done very nicely. Also, there are always different animations for the credits so there is more new animation packed in every episode.

Sound
Im not a real expert at sound but there is nothing wrong with the sound in my opinion. Ambience sound are consistant and sound realistic. The voice actors were nicely chosen and all act out their respective characters well. I've heard people say that Tomoko's voice (the protagonist) is annoying but i've had no problem with it. Maybe i'm just tolerant?
Since there is always a different credit theme, it means different songs. WOW. Some of them are just plain silly and some are strangely addictive. Also watch out for ep 10, two great songs.

Character
The character designs are nice and certainly live up to the generic ecchi anime standards. With this in mind however there really isn't anything ground breaking when it comes to the characters. Still though, like the plot line there is more than enough character development to keep the series interesting.

Enjoyment
Who would have thought that an anime with romance, ecchi and comedy as its central genres be so interesting and funny. You'll get plenty of laughs here in this series but i warn you, the humour is more on the corny-ecchi side (golden boy) rather the smart ass side (lucky star). Still though, the humour is great and come in great quantities. The extensive use of chibi characters really make the irony in the "serious" scene unbearable.
However thats not to say that the plot line is completely neglected with somewhat cheap humour. As a reader of the manga where this series is based on, the plot is actually quite deep and meaningful. Its really the polar opposite of the humour found in this series. Throughout the series both humour and plot development are nicely balanced so that viewers of the anime are satisfied in both ecchi and plotline values.

Conclusion
An anime that probably has the highest production value of the season (and dare i say the year), a deep plot and truckloads of humour, this anime cannot be missed. Seemingly neglescted due to its appearance as a "generic", this anime is anything but. A must watch

Now let's be serious...the reason you are all probably here is because of the giant rack that you saw on Icarus. But aside from all the semi-nudity and ecchi nature of this anime, it is really quite enjoyable. I started off thinking that this would be like any other rom-com anime and it would be mostly fan service. Im not saying there isn't any because they go to the bathhouse, the beach, the water park, and anywhere that you can see lots of boobies.

Story(7/10): The anime doesn't entirely focus on a story driven plot but it doesn't mean it is deprived of a story. The ... moments where the anime crosses over to the darker toned scenes are actually pretty entertaining and they really make you change your perception of the angeloids. Apart from the main story, there are many fan service episodes which are also good and always end up making me laugh.

Art(9/10): Art is good for the time it was released so there isn't really much to talk about here, but I have to say that I particularly enjoyed the chibi scenes that happened very often with the main character in his perverted situations.

Sound(10/10): Sound Is good and the soundtrack is also very amusing. Also the background music used during the more intense scenes fit and added to the anime

Character(8/10): The characters are your usual bunch of anime characters. The perverted main character, the neighbor and childhood friend who is in love with the main character, the angeloid that turns the main character's life upside down, the rich and scary upperclassman, the smart and guiding force man person , and the cute angeloid who slowly falls for the main character. A box full of toys that somehow always get into weird situations.

Enjoyment(10/10):I very much so enjoyed the anime. It's pretty good. Give it a chance. NO YOU WILL WATCH IT.

Overall(9/10): Overall, it is a good anime that mixes a dark story with light humor and panty shots. If you watch this, I Believe you will truly enjoy it. So give it a chance. You'll probably like it. I know I did.

When you hear the words "ecchi romance comedy", what comes to mind? Silly, pretty graphics that are fanservice oriented, weak plot and character development? SnO is certainly a very lighthearted show for the most part, and easily enjoyable for those who appreciate comedy in general. This doesn't mean that SnO fundamentally lacks the qualities of a good, interesting, and solid show.

Arguably the biggest "flaw" of the show is that the story premise is as generic as it gets, with the tried and true concept of the boy who meets a magical girl (or angel in this case) who is able to do amazing ... this for him, which we already know from shows like Chobits and Oh My Goddess. The question that must be asked is what is done to remix this old idea? In this case, I'd have to analyze the main character Tomoki. At first glance, he's a rather obnoxious and lazy pervert who merely wishes to live a quiet peaceful life. As events progress, we see more from him, how he's actually quite capable and motivated to help others around him who are in need. Tomoki's development towards becoming more sensitive to the people around him so far makes him, and this show stand out. Meanwhile, the time Tomoki loses from his "quiet peaceful life" that is spent caring for the angel Ikaros has contributed to her development in learning about the human world, and developing her emotions for those around her.

The aforementioned development of the main characters is quite well done, and moving. Even though Tomoki's shenanigans and Ikaros's naivety of the human world and her appealing design opens up many opportunities for the "ecchi comedy" part of this anime to take form, the "romance" part of this anime is generally done quite seriously, with characters taking time to reflect on events around them, not mention taking time to also explain their background, which really adds depth to the characters themselves and their emotions for one another, particularly concerning Tomoki's friend Sohara and of course the angel Ikaros.

As I was saying how Ikaros's design is quite appealing, the artwork in this show is extremely well done. Characters are well-drawn in general, and the use of chibi forms of these characters in comedy moments is done quite appropriately. Animations are also really high quality and diverse, and the choice of music is very catchy and appropriate. The quality of the aesthetics in general is very impressive, and a reason alone for watching this show. What is also quite interesting about this show is how there is always a different theme and scene used for the ending of each episode, so I would recommend not skipping the credits of this show.

All in all, SnO is a great show, and probably one of the highest quality productions of Fall 2009. This show is definitely for you if you want something that looks nice, is very funny, and has interesting development. The development of this show is so interesting that I'm concerned that 13 episodes is not enough to do this show justice. If a second season to this show will be announced, I'm definitely looking forward to it.

I was hesitant about starting down this series with it's label of an ecchi tag. However, this series is pretty good. In all honesty, it would probably turn off many, and draw in others. It's full of typical Japanese ecchi humor, which isn't bad if you're not a prude, a bit of a harem theme going but not in your face about it, and an overall feel-good story. It borders on sci-fi and fantasy, although that part of the story isn't fully explained. The focus of the series seems to be on the characters' interactions with the main character. There doesn't seem to be much ... background plot or direction to the story beyond these interactions. One thing I didn't like was that these interactions became a bit repetitive with each subsequent addition of a new character. The series only has 2 seasons, so it didn't get too drawn out like how extremely long series sometimes constantly reuse the same formula.

I would recommend this series if you want some laughs and aren't looking for something serious. You would like it even more, if you are into fan service, or are male. If you hate harem and ecchi themes, then you may want to avoid it. The series seemed to be made just for me, so I am giving it a 9 overall.

'Sora no Otoshimono' was an extremely pleasant and thrilling experience. In the supernatural genre, this anime is in a league of its own. If you're not a fan of ecchi or history though, turn away now.

The premise of this anime might appear banal at first. A guy named Tomoki Sakurai is your average laid-back pervert, spending his days sitting around and doing nothing in particular in between bouts of looking up girls' skirts. One day an angel comes crashing down on his peaceful village and all hell breaks lose. You'd think this idea wouldn't work and half-way through this series I still couldn't figure ... out where this anime was trying to go with its plot. It gets a lot better later as the ecchines and general silliness subsides and paves way for a philosophical, mythological and emotionaly disstressing second half of the series. The transition is slow and nearly unnoticable, even if you went on anime watching marathon and decided to see this series in one sitting. It's absolutely amazing how well this has been pulled off and what's even more amazing is that it makes this series unique, in a positive way.

The whole concept of "angeloids" will take you by suprise because you will most likely be thinking about normal folklore-based angels with varying magical powers. Nope. I won't spoil this series for you so I'm only going to say that nearly every idea pertaining to angels here has been invented from scratch. At the same time however the main theme of the plot is that of a 'new world' which is closely based on the European age of discovery and colonisation. Every episode begins with a history lesson and there are tons, and I mean tons of mythological and historical references in here. You'll learn a lot watching this anime.

The characters may appear shallow at the very begining but that won't be the case as the story progresses. The male lead, Tomoki is a pervert like no other. I can't even compare him to other male anime characters because he sets the bar so high in terms of pervertedness that no other character comes anywhere close to it. If there's an opportunity to do something lewd this guy will jump in to take advatage of it, without hesitation. That said, he cares deeply about his friends and is a central figure around which most of the events unravel. He's pivotal to the well-being of his circle of friends.

Ikaros is an angel sent down to assist Tomoki in... well pretty much everything. And Tomoki being a lewd sleaze that he is, takes full advantage of that. Ikaros however plays a much bigger role in this anime helping it to convey the ideas of freedom, discovery and... love. She's also linked to several historical and mythological events. Even her name is based on a mythological person.

Nymph is an another angeloid and her role in the series is to show the viewer that serfdom can be sometimes cruel. An important issue to be sure but this character was not given enough time and the series could have done better in terms of her development. Even though she's a tsundere-type character, she is very similar to Ikaros and at times I had the impression that she was nothing more than her different-looking clone.

Then we have Tomoki's classmates. An eccentric and totally insane genius (a bit cliche but that didn't bother me) Eishirou Sugata. His academic and anecdotal knowledge is impressive and his goal is to discover the 'new world', the one angeloids are coming from. He acts as a mentor/teacher to the rest of the characters often guiding them in their actions. We then have the buxom Mitsuki Sohara, Tomoki's childhood friend who usually karate chops the hell out of him when he's being perverted - a running gag throughout the series. Her presence is somewhat vital to the plot but I couldn't put my finger on it. Perhaps she just fits in with the rest of the cast and without her this series would not be complete. And then we have the spine-chilling Mikako Satsukitane, Tomoki's class president who has the knack of turning peaceful town-folk into vicious killing machines. I don't know what's going on in her head at any given time, but it's not flowers and birds I can tell you that much.

Now then with the story and characters discussed, let's move on to art and sound. I could simply say that they're both jaw-dropping. And they are but let's elaborate a little.

The art is flawless, I couldn't see a single mistake in any of the 13 episodes I've watched. Moreover, the art is precise to the core. Even the smallest features have been drawn with accuracy and precision. I'm talking about movie-grade precision. At times you don't want to believe that you're actually watching a TV series. FUNimation and AIC A.S.T.A have done a great job here.

Now this is where my review might get a little biased. I personally love classical, baroque and late medieval music and this anime features plenty of that type of music. However, I could not see this anime working without any other type of music. Phililosophical and mythological themes call for a classical soundtrack so my personal preferences here don't make that much of a difference. That said, this series' soundtrack also features modern anime style pieces of music so I suppose everyone's going to be pleased.

Enjoyment. Bah, I haven't been this intrugued and thrilled since I watched 'Death Note'. Seriously, the first few episodes might give you the wrong idea but it gets better as the series progresses. You'll not only have fun but you will also be genuinely interested in the story and you'll want to know more at all costs!

'Sora no Otoshimono' is a masterpiece. 10 points.

Sora No Otoshimono (Heaven's Lost Property)

We can all agree that Anime has change throughout the years.. With sexualizing all the female character with big breast or all the female characters just fighting for the same guy, without the guy not knowing anything.

-Sora No Otoshimono or Heaven's Lost Property whichever you would like to call it; starts with the Protagonist name Tomaki Sakurai a perverted high school boy that somehow he wants to live a peaceful life. Later finds a Pink haired girl, Angle/Angleoids falling from the sky, maned Ikaros becoming somewhat his servant.

The show is pretty much based on the life of Tomaki Sakurai ... and how he had to deal with his new life, with Ikaros flying around following him. Throughout the show, each episode isn't really connected to each other you'll see random anime change the comedy would make you laugh and you don't really care about other than Tomaki and Ikaros big breast, and more by putting does things aside is really enjoyable, the story-line is kinda weak, and Tomaki pervaded gets kinda annoying after awhile and breast popping all over the place but by following it and waiting until the credit scene of the episodes everything makes sense (kinda) and realize why the reason Ikaros is doing on in the fist place.

Later on the series, more Angles/Angleoids would appear you'll find yourself loving them more then the humans companion that you'll meet in the process.

Protagonist/Characters
-Tomoki: Is the obvious Perverted High School boy, that everyone loves and cares, about his friends, and is hard to see him as a serious Hero unlike other anime.

-Ikaros: Is the Angle/Angleoid that Tomaki meets in the first two episodes, she bow to be Tomaki servant. With no real reason and follow Tomaki perverted schemes with no questions, later she finds herself loving Tomaki, without him not notice him, like any other protagonist but not able to show emotions she has a hard time showing it, nor she smiles. But shows destructive anger if Tomaki is in any kinda danger. You'll find yourself for some weird reason wanting Ikaros to tell Tomoki how she feels. hahaha

-Sohara: Is the next door neighbor and child hood friend, of Tomoki she also the typical girl that loves the protagonist having perverted dreams about him. But instead she keeps it and beats, Tomoki every time he gets any close contact with any other girl, always putting her nose where it doesn't belong.

*There more characters that you would meet, while the series goes on*

Really recommended if you want to have a good laugh you would enjoy watching it, and somehow you would be able to connect with them... Hope this help :)

There really isn't anything that special about this anime. It's your typical ecchi comedy where all the girls have big boobs and the guys keep getting nose bleeds. However, I'd still recommend watching this anime because it's fairly short so if you wanted to you could knock it out in a few days, it always put a smile on my face when I watched it, and there are some actually dramatic moments in it.

This anime's best quality is how much personality each character has. Of course, this anime isn't as serious as Full Metal Alchemist so it isn't like every character has this complex reason ... for their actions, but I love how much emotion each character shows and how every character contributes to the show in their own way. For example, Mikako is kind of the shows antagonist and she loves anything involving other people getting hurt like if she sees two people disagreeing her solution is for the two to have a dual to the death and whoever lives is right.

Like many anime comedies, there's a hint of romance in this anime, but it's interesting how the romance develops. Tomoki and Ikaros don't really fall in love so much as Tomoki teaches Ikaros what love is. Ikaros is such an innocent character and so oblivious to basic emotions she has a tough time grasping the concept of love so she becomes confused when she feels it. Most of the serious traits in the anime are eclipsed by all the comedic moments, but I can still see how Ikaros changes on the inside as the anime progresses.

Now, the biggest problem with this anime is how there are way too many pervert jokes! Seriously, every episode has to have Tomoki trying to look up a girl's skirt or molesting someone. It gets old after a while and I'm just happy this anime's short because I don't think I could watch even 50 episodes of it before I'd throw in the towel.

Overall: This is a pretty funny comedy to watch even though the jokes do get a little old at the end. There's a pretty descent romantic element to it and, of course, tons of magic. The story is almost non-existent, but the characters are truly this anime's best quality.

Ok, 1st time typing review, don't blame for my poor grammar and vocab...

Well, Actually it has quite a Good Start ahead with the story, A boy with a weird ever-happening dream making A suspense and then beautiful angel appears. It's kinda of anyone's dream when they were kids.
And, Well the characters designs are quite OK and viewer-friendly, big eyes (not that all 1-color-highlighted eye or simple neko eyes), Cute and chubby facial shapes and the setting for the character is quite different but to their own charms and good features. And, btw the wings, battle suits are quite pretty as well....
... Ok, for the VA, yup they have succeeded to make one's character appealing and much lively, (Nice) well, my favourite character is Ikaros(female MC) and she sang OP and some ED of this anime along with Bluedrops ( her voice is sweet - Saori Hayami)
And, what is great about this anime is the randomness , the creativeness of ecchi pantsu jokes and pranks and collaborating with some serious events and feels.
Well, not that i boast about myself, I can understand average things quite clearly and this anime really is easy to read, suitable for leisure or as a side-dish combo with other strong-taste anime.
Well Rome doesn't built in one day, so does this, try to collect small events, hints and stuffs in it then you will feel what it wanna give to you, just a reminder" don't watch it all for Pantsu and Oppai, watch the Overall, I am sure it worth your time, well i have watched it thrice though.... Hahaha
Enjoy ~~~

A very hilarious anime which will cheer you up in no time if you're feeling down.
i laughed hard at all the episodes, never got bored.
which made watch whole episodes without any break.
i like how the main character turns chibi making it more funny.
the story is typical like any other anime with same genres, pretty girls falling from sky giving powers to the lead male and eventually falling in love..
Despite all that it still cracked me up lot.. You should watch it am sure you will love it unless you are a kind of gloomy,shady person who enjoys dark sad anime. WATCH IT NOW!!

I happened to stumble upon Sora no Otoshimono when perusing some anime blogs. It was reccomended as the best comedy anime of the year, so I decided to check it out. The series is easily found online or on a DVD (they have it on eBay for those who don't live in Japan) and it is subtitled (not dubbed---an automatic check in my mind).

Now this series is a comedy primarily, but it has some romantic/sci-fi elements. The plot centers mostly around getting a laugh, except for the last few episodes of the season. It certainly doesn't dissapoint.

If you don't like perverted humor and prefer things ... to be funny because of the language versus situational humor, this probably isn't for you. But those of us with dirty minds and the ability to laugh at an anime that can laugh at itself will enjoy it.

Especially great are the sequences they play during the credits....always really funny and entertaining.

Overall, not exactly the most original plot/characters but it is pretty funny and is good for what it is.

Fair warning: the theme song is really, really catchy and there are a lot of boobs.

If I could describe "Sora no Otoshimono" in a way that almost perfectly suits it I'd say "Sora no Otoshimono" = Epic Trolling With a Story and Plot. And here's why I believe that:

STORY: 8
"Sora no Otoshimono" doesn't focus on the who, what, when, where, why, and how Ikaros became Tomoki's "Pet Class Angeloid". But it really doesn't need to as more than likely the sequels will explain that. In a Story perspective it mostly focuses on the daily events of Ikaros adapting to the human ways of life while attempting to understand her master and his perverted ways. As well as trying to understand ... herself. The whole cast is constantly entangled with hysterical events such as flying panties that can achieve higher speeds than the famous SR-71 Black Bird (which leaves the pilot o_0 WTF?), exploring the new world that is the girls bathroom, a festival turned into a blood bath because of the attractive opportunity of 10,000,000 yen for shooting your neighbor, and understanding what it means to go on a date.

ART: 10
This was clearly for me one of the best hand drawn and partially CG'd anime's I have ever seen. Sora no Otoshimono stands rightfully and proudly next to Steins;Gate and Nisemonogatari. Kudos to the staff for such wonderful, beautifully hand drawn characters.

SOUND: 9
The opening was actually worth my time to watch as well as the different endings each and every episode had. I mean who else would watch openings and endings other than for the music it has? And as much as I liked Tomoki's song of "My Tingling Nipples" I still feel the music was just a tad bit shy of perfection.

CHARACTER: 8
I feel that all of the main characters deserve their own criticism from me separately as they have earned it so here it is.

Ikaros: Our somewhat emotionless heroine. It seems that the story leans more toward her than it does to Tomoki. As she attempts to understand what it means to be human and blend into society anonymously (tho fails epically). She unknowingly takes her master's and co's lessons that try to teach her to be more human like far too literally. Often concluding with humorous results. Such as lying. (The lying lesson was NOT given to her by her master and co but by a passerby) As this passerby tells what I presume to be his girlfriend "lying is human" Ikaros takes this to the extreme. Shockingly telling a chef his food looks like shit, while also declaring to a mother her baby is hideous. These are one of the many reasons why you might just fall in love with Ikaros.

Nymph: She isn't completely introduced until episode 6. A bit of a delay to present the show's tsundere but better late than never. I personally enjoyed the introduction of Nymph. What would you think if you woke up in your household, went to your living room, only to find a complete stranger comfortably making themselves at home in your household? You'd possibly freak the fuck out if you didn't have anyone else with you. But with Nymph having a connection with Ikaros it only made it more mysterious of why she'd even be there. Her characteristics are also very familiar but not despised of. With the traits of a tsundere and attitude of a smart aleck, she also attempts to understand what it is to be human. She is shown often calling Tomoki and anyone else she sees as an idiot a "bug". But as the story progresses she opens herself like every other tsundere would. She reminded me of Haruna from Kore wa "Zombie Desu ka?". (well Iori Nomizu does voice both Nymph and Haruna lol) Nonetheless, she is a welcomed character to the series.

Sohara Mitsuki: Sohara felt more like a side character than a real main character to me. After viewing the first episode and observing her characteristics, I quickly realized that I have found yet another typical childhood friend who fails to convey her feelings properly to the boy she loves. This is such an overused concept in anime that it has started to annoy me. Time and time again I frequently run into anime's that use this same concept. Whether it be "Tayutama: Kiss on my Deity" or "Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi". In the end the result is the same: Childhood friend either wins the heart of his/her love interest or doesn't. So what was enjoyable about Sohara now that you more or less understand what I am seeing? Nothing much sadly. The best way I can describe her is to say that she is a cup that is half empty. The description given about her reveals no spoilers and nothing new in the anime world. She typically karate chops Tomoki for not giving her the attention she utmost desires. Although he does deserve it with certain actions he takes, she shouldn't be frequently chopping him for every small perverted thing he does. He's a maturing man like he said and needs to tune his manliness. How could he help getting a hard on in the morning? Hasn't she ever heard of something called morning wood? I am fully aware that the developers put her in the story for a love triangle relationship and a comedic effect. But after a while I had grown more attached to Ikaros (and even Nymph) that I figured it probably would have been better to ax her and never introduce her to the story in the first place. It was funny the first few times she knocked Tomoki's lights out. But after a while of the same shit and repeat, it began to make me question if she was worth the time introducing and putting the effort to make her part of the show.

Tomoki Sakurai: A troll genius. Possibly every wish he has I wish greater. Whether it'd be the power to turn invisible to grope my girlfriends tits, or freeze time to run around streaking in public. It wouldn't matter as long as I have a beautiful Angeloid that obeys my every command and that accompanies me throughout my mischievous deeds. And that is precisely what this lucky little bastard has done and gone through. His motto (which is one that Me Gusta) is to live in peace and quite. But after running into and forever bonded to an Angeloid named Ikaros, that soon changes indefinitely. As he constantly throws himself into 100% lethal situations which he is only to be saved by his gorgeous Angeloid. Although ironically Ikaros is one of the major sources of chaos and disarray, he full knowing this continues to support and help her in her quest to be more human like. His characteristics are that of a perverse old man. His desire to sniff panties and wear them cannot be stopped. His raging hormones strongly portray what it means to be young, dumb, and full of cum. But despite all of this, he still has that soft spot for caring about what matters most. The well being of his friends and his Angeloid.

Mikako Satsukitane: The sadistic bitch in the series. Reading the description about her practically notifies you of what is to come when she is brought into the story. While her presence seems that of a bystander she is involved partly in the story. She is seen mostly around Eishirou. Conversing her thoughts on his thoughts of the new world. She and him feel to me more like background characters that fill in the empty space of what could have been. I do enjoy her haughty smile and deeply provoking comments, but this is one bitch you don't want to fuck with. During Ikaros's silver tongue moment, she specifically stated Mikako was "nice". Anyone with half a brain would instantly recognize what she meant by that.

Eishirou Sugata: The man who dreams to find the new world. Going as far as to creating his own home-made glider only to make a few "miscalculations" and plummet from the skies above to meet the concrete floor. It seemed to me that he was completely obsessed with the idea of there being a new world above us. He portrays himself as a shady character with little to no background. He is the founder of the New Continent Discovery Club and is found in the beginning of each episode presenting to you his pretty assistant and a "The More You Know" like dialog. He continuously provides information that should not be know by regular human beings. And it seems he has experience with Angeloids. As he states to Ikaros "Stop playing dumb, you couldn't possibly be a Pet Class Angeloid.", as well as having a high-tech computer that monitors Ikaros's state and condition.

ENJOYMENT: 9
A few times I almost fell off my chair laughing from its humor that it constantly loves to give to its viewers. It does have a lot of ecchi moments involved but I wasn't bothered by it at all. If anything I enjoyed it. I loved the story as well as the characters and the art was simply gorgeous. The sound was near perfection and the story set out for what it was going to do. And that is a humorous and enjoyable time.

OVERALL: 9
"Sora no Otoshimono" is a Comedy, Ecchi, Sci-Fi, Shounen, Supernatural anime with some romance sprinkled on top for good measure of an amusing time. I most certainly enjoyed putting 312 minutes of my spare time into "Sora no Otoshimono". It may not be for everyone as this mainly aims for a comedic effect and an ecchi audience. But it also has some super cereal moments involved for you ManBearPigs. I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for an anime that aims to make your stomach hurt from laughter. This is one that should not be missed. I most certainly will not forget this anime like I have forgotten others. As this one has earned its right to claim its throne among the last that are to be forgotten.

soooooooooo sora no otoshimono or in english heavens lost pet is a cool anime if u like ecchi(xtreme :D),harem,sciene fic,great chicks,comedy,romance,action

the story isn't that uniqe but it satisfies the watcher.the story goes like this:

there is a boy named tomoki he saws the same dream and cries when he wakes up of course he is curious to find out what is the dream about.then someday he goes to the hill where a giant sakura tree is so then a gap in space opens and some materials(bricks kinda or statues whatever)starts so drop and of course our guy is a normal guy who doesn't wabts ... to die so he starts to run.but then he realizes that a girl is falling down and he(thinks so hard about it) goes and tries to save the girl but like i said he is a normal human and he's short(1.50 i think) so he is compelled to even lift the girl then he sees a giant statue is falling down right in to their heads but then girl awakens and take the boy and flies away from there.then she connects a chain around the tomoki's hand(by the way that means she is accepted him as her master).then they start to live together many many situations came up blah blah blah...

the only thing that i didn't liked about the series was the main character man they made him like a ultimade pervert.of course every boy,man,human is pervert(and im one of them as well :D:D) but tomoki is a new level of being called a pervert i hope they change the personality of him in second season.

songs and musics that played in the anime was cool and enjoyable.

art is marvelous if you wath in a good quality(mainly in ecchi scenes :D:D)

if you think it's cool just go for it :P

My first review, give some constructive criticism on improvements!

Hmmm... Sora no Otoshimono (or Heaven's Lost Property), is probably THE BEST example I've seen of an Ecchi comedy that manages to successfully transcend the realms of stupidity to produce an excellent anime with a memorable story and amazing characters. A thoroughly enjoyable experience.

Oh yeah, you fell from the sky yesterday... right... - Tomoki

This quote from the first episode, combined with Tomoki's reaction effectively sums up how over-the-top Sora no Otoshimono(SnO) gets and how mind-numbingly insane, the situations that are going to occur in Tomoki's life will be. Tomoki himself states that this story is the depiction ... of the downfall of his peaceful and quiet life, into flying panties, well endowed angeloids and karate chops that defy every possible law of physics. It's exactly this stupidly over-the-top comedy combined with the excellent art direction and characters that make SnO such a great show to watch. It never takes itself too seriously or tries to present over complicated plot and character developments every five seconds, instead it relies on natural character development and maturity and certain key moments of plot development resulting in both a touching story and great Ecchi and comedy moments thus keeping the viewer entertained and hooked episode upon episode. The humour never gets stale, SnO keeps it interesting and mixes it up just enough so that you, the viewer continue to laugh episode after episode.

The art of SnO is beautiful, instantly from the first episode you can see this show has great production values, the characters are well drawn and the environments are varied, and very well coloured. Being an Ecchi comedy the girls and their underwear are incredibly well drawn and the girls themselves designed and detailed to near perfection. The animation is also very fluid and dynamic, and feels very natural to they eye. Boobs bounce well, skirts fly and panties get flashed with graceful movement (is that even possible!??). The characters are often represented in Chibi form, which is very well done and fits in with the shows comedic nature, it continuously reminds the viewer not to take the show too seriously and adds to the overall humour. However where the art and animation really shines in this series is the characters facial expressions and emotions, Icarus one of the angeloids carries a sad, melancholic expression throughout the series, and to put it simply it looks amazing, the studio really succeeded in making believable emotions and this works great with the character development.

The sound is another plus for this anime, the OP is a kind of catchy, melancholic song that really represents the series emotional and serious side, the ED or should I say EDs are where this show feels unique and interesting. Each episode has a unique ending that ties in with the events that took place during that episode, and are accompanied by an epilogue styled animation that shows the aftemath of what occured during that episode. The BGM is also good, it fits well with the comedy and really compliments the emotional scenes when they occur, theres also never a moment in this show where you hear a piece of BGM and feel its overused or too predictable.

Now comes the part of this show that makes it shine compared to all the other Ecchi comedies out there, the characters and story. The characters of this show are the main reason why it's so enjoyable they all feel natural and are developed well giving viewers a reason to pay attention to them. Since the cast of recurring characters is small the producers manage to give each character ample enough time to become well developed. One of the characters that stood out for me has to be Sugata, described during the first episode as a highly intelligent, extremely creepy and perverted guy and also introducing each episode, he has the most interesting role in the series. He attempts to discover the so called 'New World' where the angeloids came from thus he continuously observes Icarus and Nymph. He is highly intelligent and perceptive thus picking up on things no one else in the series manages too, his comments and dialogue often give the viewer understanding and insight as well as questions about the angeloids and who they really are.

The story is another plus point to this anime, it is very well executed and fits in with all the randomness and comedy of the show, in most episodes the story is just an undertone and is shows through the way the characters develop and interact with each other. However during the select key moments of the series when the story takes the driving seat, it executes well and piques the viewers interest making them ask questions and wonder what is going to happen next, it also manages to make very effective use of emotion making the viewer want to be involved in it all the much more. The seriousness picks up most at the end of the show and the viewer really feels and understands the angeliods, giving the story and excellent and dramatic ending.

All in all SnO is a beautiful and well executed show that shows just how versatile the Ecchi comedy genre can be if done properly.

Sora no otoshimono, or Heaven's lost property is a somewhat unique harem show. Because of the interesting and serious storyline, I find myself really...disturbed. I will explain.

Characters: The characters are pretty...well...platonic. While for the most part they don't change, it doesn't hinder the plot in any way. However, only the main female who's arc is named after really only changes character-wise in the series.

Story: While for the most part, this anime does have serious side to it, and has a very gripping overarching plot. However, I forgot to mention the pure amount of fanservice there is. Sora ... no Otoshimono has to be one of the biggest fanservice animes out there, next to HOTD. They devote entire episodes to fanservice, and can really turn a viewer away.

Sound and art: The art is adequate and pleasing to the eye. They especially put great detail on the wings in the series and make the characters more...well, angel-like. There is also the comical chibi aspect which becomes very prominent in fanservice episodes, telling the viewer what to come. (This is a warning if you plan to watch this.) For sound, the general sound in the anime itself isn't very note-worthy. The opening however is very upbeat and can guarantee at least a little bit of finger tapping along with the beat.

Personal enjoyment: While blocking out every single fanservice episode that existed in this anime. (I count at least half of it.) Sora no Otoshimono has a good plot in my opinion. The mysteries, the questions. It's all very intriguing and personally, I can't wait to watch more of this...probably while blocking out what horrible mental images I have been shown.

Mere ratings cannot describe this show. I cried like I haven't cried in the last three years after that show. So emotional at the end, but very well worth it. The story was absolutely stellar, the best I've seen so far. The art is pretty good, the character development is brilliant, and it never failed to make me laugh, even in the most embarrassing moments. Just an all around great anime. If you are planning on watching it, watch the first two seasons, then read the manga til the end, then watch the movies that replace seasons 3 & 4. Otherwise, you miss a lot ... of content. But by God, the ending was magnificent. I really wish this would continue. I have never wanted to see more of an anime since Highschool DxD

When I first was told about this "Heaven's Lost Property" I had extremely low expectations. As we all know the ecchi genre has a lot of fanservice and it can become the focus of some animes,but WOW I was blown away by Heaven's Lost Property. To start off we have the characters, The main character Tomoki is a huge pervert who just wants a quiet life. Ikaros the "angeloid" who struggles with being human was just adorable. Tsugata the "genius" of the cast who has a strange obsession with flying. Sohara tomoki' childhood friend who constantly punishes him for his pervy ways. Finally Mikako a ... sarcastic rich girl. The story focuses on the misadventures of the characters and later focuses on dealing with trying to make Ikaros human. This led to a lot of comedic situations, which were always something different. The only real recurring joke of the series was Sohara's deadly karate chop, and even then that was kept at a level where it was still funny when it came down to the scene. The music of this anime was extremely catchy, the opening theme especially. The animation was superb, it used a creative mix of bright and dark shades which complimented each other very well. The character designs were all very unique especially Ikaros in her original outfit. Lastly the voice acting in the English dub is outstanding(for the most part). All together Heaven's lost property is a very good example of the potential of the ecchi genre, if you like ecchi animes don't miss this anime, you'll regret it

Sora no Otoshimono came off as a bit weird to me at first....This is my first echi anime so I thought it wasn't going to have substance or a good story. I was wrong.

After I finished the show, the first season rather, I was overall very happy with the show and i'm excited to watch the next season. Like I said the show really surprised me, it had a good story that didn't feel rushed or slow so I was always entertained. There was a good amount of action to mix in with the character drama and general story. It was very lighthearted and comical ... with serious and emotional moments sprinkled in here and there. Basically it was very entertaining, I honestly never found myself bored with the show at all. However if echi is something that bothers you, this show isn't for you because there is quite alot of it. Personally though it didn't bother me the slightest...I found it funny how they used the echi for the most part in a comidic way. If you like echi this is the perfect show for you. Heaven's lost Property didn't leave me on a high note or anything but I really enjoyed it nonetheless.

Story(8) The story in the show was executed very well. Like I said the show never had pacing issues so it never really felt rushed or went by slow. Most of the story is centered around Tomoki's (the main character) antics and what he does with his group of friends. Tomoki stumbles upon Icarus, an angeloid who acts as his servent. This is what makes the story interesting because she can practically grant his every wish and she lives to serve him. Tomoki however is a high school pervert who does anything he can to peep a girl nude even his friends, this is what makes the story interesting and very funny as well. The relationships between the characters work very well with the story and they act as one of the things that make the story really good. The story isn't anything incredible but it is very unique and entertaining all the same. While all the lighthearted activities are going on there is an over shadowing dark side to the story which helps keep the plot fresh. The last episode in particular really picked up in the action aspect and it was was very satisfying. As i said before the show is a comedy so there's alot of funny moments that will keep you enetertained all the way through.

Animation(9) I'm watching this in 2014 now, for something back in 2009 the animation is very impressive. All the colors are bright and vibrant but not overdone. The character designs are unique but not out of place at the same time. The two angeloid characters had very unique armor designes and they had a cool backstory to them. The action scenes rare as they come were animated perfectly. They were nice to look at and not over exaggerated. All the characters moved very fluently and smoothly so generally it just looked good. The show turns the characters into chibi's very often as well to overexaggerate comedy moments and just add a light hearted funny tone to the story. I do feel they overused the chibi thing a bit but nevertheless it kept the show unique and it worked good for the whole feel of the story. The wide eyed designs of the characters looked nice and the CGI effects looked good as well amd weren't out of place.

Sound(7) This goes without saying, the noises were crisp and clean and sounded good. Funimation outdid itself with the voice casting once again. I thought all the voices were cast perfectly and none came off as annoying to me. The opening track was very very good as well, it fit the show's light hearted tone perfectly and it was a beautiful song. The ending was very good as well and during the endings the show would play a music video type of thing to keep it different. The music didn't amaze me though, The music kind of faded in the background to me and i found myself paying attention to the characters and what they were doing. The music wasn't bad or out of place it's just not very memorable. However this is a small complaint at the end of the day it's not a big deal.

Characters (8) At first the characters didn't seem like much to me, they did grow on me alot though. Tomoki binds the story together with his perverted actions and brought alot of comedy. I could relate to him a bit too because I myself am a highschool student who likes peace and quiet. Icarus is very robotic so part of the story deals with her trying to be more human. This also comes off as a very funny element in the story and she can also be badass at times too. The other side characters work very well too. The show keeps its circle small and aside from Tomoki and Icarus there are 4 other characters. The show focus's the most on Tomoki, yes, but the side characters all get alot of screentime and are developed very well. One of the shows best qualities is the relationships between all the characters. Like any other show the characters have drama and of course this is very interesting without feeling clichè. As I said the supporting cast were all interesting unique characters with good funny personalities. They themselves are not incredibly compelling, but they are developed well and have good chemistry.

Overall I enjoyed the show alot. It didn't leave me on a high note and wasn't amazing but I was satisfied completely. The story was executed smoothly and had a good mix of drama romance and action. The show was very funny and lighthearted while having a unique feel to it. The characters had really good chemistry and I liked all of them. The animation was spot on and the voice acting was very well done as well. The echi didn't bother me and i found it to be funny most of the time, so if you're on the ropes about weather or not its gonna bother you it probably wont. It's not overdone to the point where the story loses quality it basically fits in perfectally. If echi is not your thing at all then I don't know what to say, it's all preference. Fans of comedy and drama will like this as well.

I apologize for the long review :p but please give this a thumbs up if you agreed! (:

My review is based on my opinion of the anime after completing all the episode.
Sora No Otoshimono is an anime with a lot of things to be shared with the audiences.
Its not just a story about a boy with an angel hanging around him in the harem theme, it has more to offer.

The story will slowly try to mix every single expression and emotion for the viewers, from a very funny scene to serious situation. Not just that, every single episodes tells and comes with different style which is unique in my opinion. Sometimes it sad, sometimes is relaxing, funny and fun to watch. ... Furthermore, the story strongly implement the value of friendship, love and caring among the main characters.

Every different characters comes with different personality and weird behavior/hobbies and I found that this makes sora no otoshimono is fun to watch.
The music was amazing and fits into every scenes from serious, funny, sad and relaxing tones.
Overall this is a must watch, it just more than comedy harem anime.:)

P/S: Sorry for my english.
