I love how they are really (sometimes brutally) honest with each other

It's one of the best signs that Amane and Mahiru are perfect for each other.

some dudes are working so hard to find anything wrong.

Everything is good but a single second which doesn't actually look bad unless you zoom it.
And your saying it's a bad anime just for that?

I really liked it. Shiina and Fujimiya are fun to watch and have some nice chemistry.

I already love Shiina haha. Her voice is so soft and soothing, I've always liked Manaka Iwami's voice ever since I heard her as the "desu desu" girl in Gamers. Looking forward to more.

As Someone who read both Light Novel and the Manga of Otonari no Tenshi-sama. I can safely say this is another mid adaptation and probably be forgotten by the of end next season.

As first encounters go the park is a interesting one. Wow thats quite the dump that Amane lives in. Its fortunate that Amane has such good neighbors though. Still the angel sure has a way of dealing with those that are resistant to being helped. Not to mention damm generous as well. But wow behaving like a wife at such a young age is indeed a talent. Damm passionate about cleaning as well too. Still from the talk looks like she's been with this image of her since she was little. Overall a pretty cute and heartwarming opening ep that did well to intrduce the main cast without intruducing too many elements yet. The chemistry between them so far looks pretty nice.

Nah I def see why r/lightnovels been hyping this series for so long. Such a pure and genuinely heartwarming story. I never knew how satisfying it could be to just watch someone be nice to someone who hasn’t been treated well before. Just a really relaxing and cozy watch and supposedly the best is yet to come, hype. Will get on the LN eventually

1st Episode review :

It looks like it's a really mature relationship (same vibes as Sakurajima Mai and Sakuta Azusagawa in Bunny girl senpai) despite the fact that the 2 MC are a bit in a cliche social situation (the unknown boy student / the popular girl student) and some minors scenes are predictable.

It's mature, real like, cute.

probs for not using cheap fanservice when she fell because of the mess in his apartment.

Seems pretty standard, but there are always little bits and pieces in the dialogue that makes it quite charming.

Just looking at the cast, I want to know one thing, it is obvious that Amane and Mahiru are going to be a couple, but the other two characters are also going to pair up ??? Amane's friend seems like an interesting character to me...

Well... Shiina is adorable and the MC is also very chill. So... I like it already. It doesn't feel forced and I like the chemistry between these two. Really good start to this show. I enjoyed it very much. Looking forward to more.

Miharu really lives up to her title of an angel.
I guess she does all those favours for Fujimiya because she wants to be dependant on, not because she likes him. At least yet, because that will obviously change.

I don't have any other words than yours to describe this 1st episode. 

That is a very good start. So, far this season has some variation in terms of different genres.

Fall 2022 is the most Unforgettable anime season of all time

Tenshi-sama is here. One of my favorite romcoms. It's really wholesome and sweet. The chemistry between Amane and Mahiru is so great and cute. Love both of them so much. It's gonna be a comfy watch every week. In terms of animation, well it was decent. But it makes up with good close-up shots and lighting effects and good voice acting. And it will still be really enjoyable because of the great characters and good straightforward story. Can't wait for more wholesomeness.

Japan must be an extremely small island... Already at the beginning of Otonari no Totoro ep1, one can see the "steel jungle" which Aoi Yukimura of Yama no Susume fell from.

"... and then they fucked like rabbits all night..."

Brain-damaging opening episode, but I'll stick around for one more just in case it develops some smarts.

If you are wondering - the first episode set off my "Why should I care about these two characters?" alarm.

Adding this to my list of stupidly cute romances I'm watching this season~
Mahiru and Amane's interactions seem a little weird and stilted most of the time, but I think that's totally the point, it's nice to see them act like two actual people. The banter between them was interesting and it'll be neat to see how things develop between them over the season. Mahiru is really really cute, and I can't wait to see more revealed about her character in the future. I feel like there's a lot there that we just haven't seen yet.

Even though the setup is kind of cliché, I think there's a lot of potential here- fingers super crossed that it keeps up the aspects that shined in this episode!




I'm okay now... At least... I want to be able to say that.

Average start overall. The back and forth between Mahiru and Amane feels more forced than natural and the "wish-fulfillment" vibes I got from this episode were quite notorious as well.
Anyways, hope next episodes can improve these aspects.

They already seem like married couple. If they don't bang by episode 6, and by episode 12 have three cute little angels together, I'll be severely disappointed.

Not expecting Amane and Mahiru to have sex and offspring during the season because they still are not a couple but I agree they act like husband and wife...

I really liked it so far! We also get to know a little bit of Shiina, she’s from a rich family, people cooked for her, and doesn’t seem to like being called “Angel”. I found it both funny and ironic that Shiina might’ve been spoiled in the past, she’ll now end up spoiling Fujimiya!😂😂

Animation is fine, could be worse considering the studio. Some chapters skipped it looks like a 2/3 episode adaption per LN volume which is ok, the goal is volume 4. Manaka Iwami as expected with a perfect job voicing Mahiru, I'm ready for fluff and cuteness overdose every saturday

Decent start, going in blind so not sure what to expect. I'm still wondering why Mahiru was in the playground while raining, and was she crying or was it just rainwater running down her face below her eyes? Either way she looked sad so I wonder if she was lonely, homesick, or something else.

Meanwhile, Amane is living like a slob and gets sick for giving up his umbrella. It does work out in so far as he gets his umbrella back, gets watched over while recovering, gets free meals, and even gets his house cleaned (that pizza looked delicious). It all seems like a dream so I'm wondering what's going on besides Mahiru saying she gets self satisfaction.

Perhaps I had too high of expectations for this show given the love people have for the LN, but this was a little bit more dry than I thought it'd be, at least to start. The premise of Fujimiya helping out Shiina in the rain, and then Shiina returning the favour feels a bit, how do I say it, "too quick" of a turn. There were definitely things that intrigued me, and that's Shiina's family, since she looked a little down when Fujimiya brought her parents up in conversation.

So far, just feels like yet another romcom that looks wholesome, and it will need to do something quite unique to think otherwise.

Hmm, didn't the falling scene at the end went differently in the novels?>:I>
Welp that aside, really glad with what we got, from this episode alone I feel like they'll keep the pacing at 3 episodes/1 novel but could be wrong as well~^^>3

This is adorable!! I couldn't stop smiling. Them acting like newly weds was so cute to watch.

I love how they're both so blunt with each other. They're kind of like two kuuderes. Its also really refreshing how they point out the cliches and make jokes out of them. Like him pointing out how bringing him food could suggest she likes him but she just refutes it in a very normal way. Both of them are great.

This is definitely gonna be one of my favourite anime this season and one to relax to. 

The fact that the OP is done by the same guy that did the OP for Tada-kun Doesn't fall In Love which was also just a super wholesome romance is great.

As a fan of the original story, seeing this in animation is everything to me. Loving the voice acting, the music, the comedic timing, and the animation. Of course the story is stellar, and I can't wait for more episodes to air.

It's the feel good series of the season, and I hope lots of people watch it so we can get another season.

Well, at first I didn't know what to think, I hadn't seen anything of this anime other than the trailer (and I didn't even see it in its entirety xdd), I found it very interesting, I really like the design of the characters, it's not too exaggerated but it's not Too generic, I think I'm going to follow it all season.

THE MANGA IS SO MUCH BETTER. 
like hear me out ok. 

let me be clear the story is an absolute masterpiece and same goes for the manga. but this anime adaptation SUCKS. like i kid u not. 

MISTAKES-

1) Where is my cute theme!? like this story is supposed to be cute like really freaking cute. but this adaptation shows it more mature which i hate. like this SHIT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE CUTE NOT MATURE.

2) why the flip is mahiru looking like sayu . u guys should have just copied the manga artist character design. also the eyes are completely wrong the face proportions too.

3) why the flip is there not a cute wholesome bgm? like there were so many opportunist to put a cute wholesome bgm to make it more cuter. 

4) how did the author allowed this to be made? LIKE JUST SAY NO. YOU HAD SO MUCH GOING ON IN THE MANGA Y DID U DECIDE TO ALLOW THIS SHIT

5) I have no hate for the va but i think the va were chosen wrong. like there were supposed to be cuter and more childish instead of this mature and heavy voice.

6) i have so much more to say but just read the manga and i am sure u guys would understand my rage. the director failed at recreating a MASTERPIECE. smh.

also this story was like 40% shoujo but the adapation just makes it seinen only.
unfortunately, this anime is adapting a novel and not a manga.
