Sora no Otoshimono

This is an ecchi and comedy, two of my favorite genres. However, the humor usually falls flat with me, and the ecchi is rather tame by my standards and doesn't have the situational elements that makes ecchi sexy. And there isn't much else to save the show. The story doesn't really matter much. It serves more as a premise for the 2 "angeloid" girls rather than a key component of most episodes. In other words, it's mostly episodic.


Comedy: The comedy is wild and exaggerated, using gags, slapstick, and parodies. And it's corny. It reminds me a bit of a Looney Toons cartoon. The main male ... character, Tomoki, is uncontrollably perverted, and the comedy mostly consists of him coming up with plots to see women naked or in panties, and getting beat up in the process. He is shown 90% of the time in chibi form (the small child-like form) with a totally different voice, and almost half of that time he is running around naked. In fact, I almost don't recognize him when he switches back. I just don't find this type of dumb comedy appealing.

Ecchi: I'm a fan of ecchi, but I do find mindless ecchi boring. There needs to be some situational element to make the ecchi sexy and appealing, like a romantic build-up, an awkward situation, or some cuteness. Some of the panty shots involving Sohara early on in the series are quite nice as she shakes her butt around cutely while talking. The brief shot of the girls putting on kimonos was nice too. There was some romance there too, where Sohara developed some affection for the hero as he saved her. But then from about the 4th episode on, any of this romantic/cute ecchi ceases to exist. Instead, it's all brute-force mindless, emotionless ecchi as Tomoki barges in on girls to catch a peek. With no situational element, it's about as sexy as looking at a department store swimsuit catalog.

So with the comedy and ecchi elements being lackluster, and the story being more of background element (and this story being a bit shallow and undeveloped) Sora no Otoshimono fails to deliver. It's watchable as mild entertainment, but I wouldn't regret having not seen it.

So, this is the second time that I have reviewed this show going back after I have dropped it before. What do flying underpants, a wish granting angel android, and a perverted boy have in common? This stupid show. It just feels like a pervert’s joyride. An angel named Ikaros comes down from heaven and ends up with a perverted little boy named Tomoki. I believe he got this bad because of his grandfather. His grandfather would tell him a lot of perverted words of wisdom.

There are so many times this show goes overboard just for the fact that of fun. For example, panties ... flying into window ends up with him making whole garlands of panties, goes to a robot that was made out of panties…… can you see where this goes? It just escalates from there. There is so much Ecchi in this show that you feel like drowning in it. A school life with a lot more ecchi then I would of liked in a show. And this is why I had dropped this show before.

Sure in each episode, Eishoro ends up talking about something historic or scientific that is supposed to pertain to the show but it doesn’t. It feels like they are just trying to push more meaning into the story that doesn’t have one. This has Magical Girlfriend written all over it. Even the name of Ikaros’ program is a ‘Pet class’ and wears a chain and collar. Think of her as an Android and then think of Chobits… it’s pretty much the same with characters popping up all over. Chi and Ikaros have very much the same sort of problems though if I explained it; it would be a spoiler for the most part.

The show would probably be very good if there wasn’t all the ecchi stuff. It has a deep meaning behind it and I guess that might be the part of the show I missed in my first watch because it only really shows its true face in episode 7. Much like Elfen Lied, we have a darker side of the anime two. So I guess it’s a mixture of Chobits and Elfen Lied with perverted wish granting powers. The bad thing about this is that it comes up so late in the show that it not only is it a big spoiler, it also ends up making the show look like a school life Ecchi up till then. Even after, it still looks like a school life Ecchi but at least it has more deep emotional reasoning behind me watching the rest of it.

The animation is rather nice, actually rather beautiful. It is very clean and crisp, too bad it’s also very ecchi (Sorry all those wanting to see the whole thing, nothing really naked though). The characters are… colorful at least. I see it like a perverted version of Comic Party in look and feel. Instead of Comics, the Tomoki is crazy about panties and breasts.

Having said this, there are some good points. The characters actually seem a little human when they show the romantic parts and when the characters are not being fully perverted. The voices are pretty good and each one really fits the characters no matter what crazy emotion they do. The music is beautiful and without all the perverted things though the beginning song does get old when marathoning it.

In the end, I did end up cutting the show short when I first dropped it. Would I ever watch it again? The answer to that is that I would probably have to hate myself to sit threw the torture that is the first few episodes to get to the good stuff but I might… ug…. Now there is the OVA and Forte that I might have to do…

I think Heaven's Lost Property isn't a case of an anime not reaching its potential. Rather, it actively squanders its potential by trying to be funny and perverted, which it's not very good at.
I really wanted to love this show, okay? I really do love all the Angeloids, and the best moments are really great. It looks good for its time, and even has a separate ED for each episode, some of which are very memorable. Most importantly, the overarching story is quite good.
But man, I really don't like some of the things it does. Chibi abuse is when a show draws characters in a ... small and simple style more often than it doesn't, and Heaven's Lost Property is highly guilty of it, specifically with Tomoki. Rather than cutting corners, it feels like more of a way to separate the comedy/ecchi scenes from the more serious ones, but he's chibi like 80% of the time, often when everyone else isn't. This brings us to my second complaint: Tomoki fucking sucks. I've rarely had a big problem with a lecherous MC, but when it gets taken to far it gets really fucking old really quickly, and Heaven's Lost Property does this shit nonstop. The weird thing, it's rarely directed at the girls in his harem, but rather at just about every other girl at his school. And this schtick is accompanied by other girls, in particular Sohara, laying on Tom and Jerry-style abuse. Third complaint: Sohara is too mean to Tomoki. In episode 3, Sohara indirectly blows up Tomoki's house, and if not for the cartoon physics, Tomoki himself would be dead. Does she apologize? Hell, she doesn't even let him stay in her house next door! So they all have to go to Mikako's, where he again almost dies, but ends up getting his house rebuilt by them. Anyway, Sohara basically murders Tomoki several times over the course of the series, and he takes obscene amount of abuse from everyone else as well, that really doesn't sit right with me. Especially since Sohara is confirmed to ENJOY Tomoki's behavior, and fantasize about it often. Not to mention, this show is considered an ecchi, but it's almost not hot at all. I would've preferred they just cut the peeping and groping altogether and let the Angeloids' outfits speak for themselves.
These three complaints serve to undermine almost everything that makes Heaven's Lost Property good. The story about Angeloids coming from on high and learning what love means to them while fighting against their homeworld is interesting, fun, and otherwise well-executed. They could've cut at least some of the fluff to characterize the Angeloids (or even other characters) better, but I think the serious scenes are mostly good as-is. The main exception is the finale movie, which awkwardly cuts off the manga and kind of just leaves you confused and sad.
Overall, Heaven's Lost Property is good. I think its highs make it still worth watching, and admittedly some of the fluff was pretty fun. Saori Hayami, who voices Ikaros, has the voice of an angel, and she gets many chances to sing some really good songs. Pretty much all the girls were super loveable in their own ways, (even the non-Angeloids, though I probably disliked them more than I liked them) with best girl Kazane (save for Tomoko) not appearing until the first movie. I will probably go on to remember it as something I'm torn on, but ultimately glad I watched.

i've been watching until episode 7 until I decided not to continue. Per overall this anime doesn't have a Feel. Its too boring, too monotone, does not have a Sensation except the arts..
Sorry if I'm being rude, but its truth...

The one good thing about this anime is Ikaros. And bad is pretty much everything else.

If instead they made a show where Ikaros and Sakurai travel the world and fight leather clad Demonoids or something. Like Raki and Clare in Claymore. I might have given it 7 or 8. However we got this instead.

If it is not clear enough, Ikaros is very cute and likeable girl. She is pretty, quiet, well behaved and willing to do anything to please her master. A perfect girl, if only all of them were like her the world would be heaven itself.

For that reason alone I might have recommended ... this show, much like I did with Another, simply because Mei Misaki is cute.

However I cannot recommend Sora no Otoshimono, since, unfortunately, Ikaros does not get enough screen time. And when she does gets screen time, show do not presents her in the right way.

Story driven by unlikable mean purple-head, who comes up with most 'activities' and an even more unlikable 'killer-chop' brown-head who gets too much screen time and love from creators. It does not even gets better when another angeloid is introduced, snarky Nymph.

While some episodes are fun, most are weird and makes you feel uncomfortable. Ikaros does not get enough screen time to compensate for show's faults.

Sure shy timid silent girl like Ikaros makes it hard to make a narrative, but Claymore did managed. Even Darker than Black managed with Yin.

A story of a young high school boy wishing to have a servant whom he could care for, and it came true with an angel lifting him in spirit. Now.... it's time to look at girl's asses.

I couldn't tell how I felt about watching this, I was disgusted, smiling (unironically), felt weirded out, and I felt bad. This anime couldn't tell whether to be a drama, love, action or comedic story. It can have all 4, but it lacks the potential. I will be talking about the Art, Genre, Characters, and the Story.

Art: There are times when the art style is professionally made for action ... and comedy, then most of the time it looks like a bunch of amateurs made a scene look boring. I wasn't too fond of the art style much, I also did not enjoy having the breasts of every woman 3 times bigger than their heads, it was easily distracting and loses focus of how serious some scenes show.

Genre: There is easily three things that the Anime has, Comedy, Drama, and Romance. First off, the whole show was a whole comedic festival, but it didn't make me laugh once, rather, I did laugh, just not the way the show wanted. I'll get into why it wasn't funny at all when we get into the characters, but lets look over the drama. Hardly any drama, so why mention? Because there was a half of a season of one of the characters attempting to capture the fallen angel, but then there is troubling going on with the main character, as she grows a connection towards him and she doesn't seem to want to cause any harm. Another reason for drama is with the same character (who was trying to capture) going through troublesome times with her master. I'll get more into that later. Finally romance, there is a love triangle, two people try to find out what it's like to have emotions, it was boring and rushed over. Then there is action... I don't care for it.

Characters: I would've gave this anime a 3 or a 4, but within half of the season, there was finally some character development and understanding of each character, let me describe the characters that show up the most.

Sakurai: An energetic, pervert who is desperate to see nudity off of women. He's the main reason why this whole show wasn't funny once. The development of this character is like any pedophile anonymous character. I wouldn't have mind if he was a pervert, if he were to have the right ideas, or not an instant idiot. Then it wouldn't be so bad, but instead I question why people like this character in the first place.

Ikaros: The story mostly revolves her facing herself and trying to act more human-like. Soon she is aware she is a weapon, but her master (Sakurai) denies her to use any source of violence against anyone. SO what does that leave her to be? An air head, quiet, and stubborn girl (not like a loli stubborn [yes, it's quite embarrassing to say loli], just stubborn as of making mistakes) As the anime moves forward, you kind of grow attach to this character, as she learns from her mistakes and tries to support everyone. But, the first half of the season is just her standing around and acting funny. Which didn't give me a chuckle.

Nymph: She appears within half of the season, no introduction, nothing knowing about her, she just showed up, eating a bag of chips. I thought it was lazy, and appalling that this is how you introduce the next side character to this story. She does, however, develop character and you finally understand her. Which is great and makes her a likeable character. I have nothing much to say, other than, she's a good character.

Sugata: At this point, these character share no interest whatsoever, they are just bland, boring, and backstaged characters who are there for fun. This character, believes there is a new world among earth, and wishes to explore it. However, we mostly get to see him goofing around in a serious manner, he somehow manages to get alot of info through technology, which doesn't make any sense, and he always hangs out with the characters with no purpose, he just sits there, watches people. It's pointless.

Mitsuki: Another Bland and boring character, she is violent, nice, and has a crush on Sakurai. However, Sakurai always has a dirty mind while seeing Mitsuki, and it clearly shows, therefore, she becomes violent against him. It gets old real fast, and it feels pointless. Remove this character, and nothing changes. Moving on.

Satsukitane: The final character, and I must say, she is the most uninteresting character in this whole story. She's there because she is there. She is.... I don't know what she is, other than what I assume, she loves to play with people. That's it, and it's a piss poor job to try to bring up a character that is a woman and does absolutely nothing other than bring comedy.

Story: There was no main focus the whole first season, it was just a montage of boring, pornish, comedic episodes which were cringy and facepalming. Finally, after Nymph shows up out of nowhere, things get interesting. The main plot is that the angels from above are trying to bring back Ikaros back from earth, but is challenging because she refuses, therefore it leads toward violence and drama. A few sub plots here and there, Ikaros tries to find the meaning of life as a human, and as well as Nymph. The story isn't big, but it's enough to create a decent show.

Usually when I rate things a 5, I would've said it's ok to watch and I'm sure you'll probably enjoy it better than I did. In all of honesty, I disliked this show, I gave it a 5, because it showed characters and a plot. If you think you'll enjoy the comedy, then you'll rate it higher than I did. I won't recommend anyone watching this, if you are up for the challenge of watching this mix up of an anime, go ahead. I'm not going back to this one.

This anime is rated a 5, nothing more, luckily nothing less.

So to start off, this anime is not for every one.
If you like fan service, ecchi, no real story, and more of a chibi art style then you'll probably like thi anime.
To start off, I personally didnt like the anime, i went in with no real expectations other than it was a ecchi (which i watch alot of) and that it was good art style, sadly the srt style is not to what i personally like, its more of a chibi art style for the main character which is a real big turn off for me, half the episode(s) were full body anime and then ... half of the episode was a chibi style.
I really liked the direction the anime was going but apart from the chibi MC, the VA for the MC was really not for me, it sounded like a VA for a kids show and i believe im not watching a kids show so not that great for me.
All the other main characters ( Ikaros, Sohara, Eishiro, ect) were really good and its really disappointing for me personally to have to drop this anime just cause the mc and mc chibi art style.

If youre ok with everything that i stated in my review please, give it a try, it seems like a really good anime but sadly its just not for me.

Thanks for reading! (First review)

This series is almost like “Oh! My goddess” but it still has its own uniqueness.

Just when Tomoki thought that life would be just peace and quiet like he always wanted it to be a weird and busty angel-robot like being came down in front of him. He knows that troubles will come his way and he should say goodbye to his peace and quiet life.

This series is your everyday harem story where a lot of girls fall in love with a single guy. The harem is almost complete with the childhood friend who won’t admit her feelings and would always get violent whenever she’s ... jealous, a small but very proud girl who bosses around, and an enigmatic girl who just want to stay beside her beloved master. It doesn’t have a very serious type of main plot however that exactly works for the series. The amazing part is how magnificently the serious and hilarious parts are balance. This serious is extremely hilarious. Just when you thought that the scene is getting serious it would turn out to be a comical act and that absolutely works for the story.

Almost all the characters are extremely hilarious. Each of them has their own unique way of being hilarious. Surprisingly enough, they can really be helpful or serious in the most important moments. Even the apparition of the perverted grandfather of Tomoki is hilarious with his twisted and ecchi advises to his grandson. What’s really amazing is that the most hilarious and weird of them all is also the most serious one in crucial times. He is the most perverted character I’ve ever seen in the hundreds of series I’ve seen. There are times when I question myself why the hell those girls fall in love it him.

The animation is not that great but it is still done well enough. The angeloids are interesting to look at. The voice of Tomoki is so damn perfect for his perverted and hilarious character.

In the beginning, it was quite boring but after watching episodes after episodes it was interesting enough and before I knew it I was already entertained.

Out of all the anime ever made, this really lives up to its big fat greasy ecchi tag. I'm a really modest and calm person, but this made me literally scream at the screen so many times. The mind f**k going on these series is unbelievable. Exploding underwear ... checked. Metamorphosis gender f**king swap .. checked. Cancer ... double f**king checked. This anime took me very close to getting a brain aneurysm. Everything here is over the top (looping around to infinity).

But lets leave out the fact that this anime has too much ecchi, some quite lame ecchi jokes and a overly (absurdly) perverted protagonist. ... What is then left you ask? Actually not a bad (and not very original) story and a decent amount of character development, making this one of the toughest to rate anime ever.

Story (5/10)
Lot of stealing from different anime from NGE to Angel Beats to Chobits to DearS to Serial Experiments Lain to ... I could go on forever. Fakedeep info provided to the viewers makes it look really bad. All that left aside there is some beauty and a tragic side in the story, which again, gets suffocated by extreme perversion.

Art (6/10)
There were situations where they skipped so many frames it hurt my eyes. Very frequent use of comedic style was annoying and apparently a good way to cut production costs, some use of CGI (even on characters). Although there were really well animated scenes and the overall quality of art seemed consistent.

Character (3/10)
The protagonist ..s**t, you have to see it... to understand it. Maybe its soo bad its good ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°). The rest were just plain horrible or awfully stereotypical.

Sound (8/10)
The ED's were quite different from the usual, nice refreshing experience. As it is a comedy, some usual meme music was used to the scenes.

Enjoyment (4/10)
It all came together into a horrible mess. It was painful, but not boring to watch.
A very sweet pain ( ͌◡ ͌).


Overall rating 5/10. Enough to see where the plot will be going in the next season.

this was the first anime i had ever seen while i might still find some parts of it funny i don't feel I'd like it now. It does somethings particularly well the story is rather engaging for this type of show and things get very interesting once Chaos shows up otherwise it's just a peg above your typical soft core porn anime. If You enjoy those types of shows i would recommend it if not than watch at your own risk. the characters are fine their the usual archetypes the perv the Tsundere the dumb one sassy one and guy with glasses and most ... of all stock waifu girl they have their moments but otherwise fit into their places
