Angeloid: Sora no Otoshimono

I have yet to see the first season of this series but saw the second season, which is called 'Sora No Otoshimono Forte', on CrunchyRoll. The story follows Tomoki Sakurai and various 'angeloids' angel-like androids from world known as The Synapse. While there is a story involving the angeloids that live with Tomoki battling to protect him from those working for Synapse most episodes are intended to be comic rather than dramatic. These comic situations almost entirely revolve around Tomoki trying to see women undressed or trying to grab their breasts; his initial success is usually followed up by swift retribution though.

While there isn't actual nudity on show this is clearly a fan service show; no opportunity to show jiggling cleavage is missed and some of the costumes worn by the angeloids don't cover very much. This led to the series feeling a bit sleazy at times however some of the situations were genuinely amusing, the animation looked good and I liked the character designs. Talking of character designs they are frequently shown in 'chibi' form, in fact I think Tomoki is shown in this form more than his regular form!

If you are looking for something deep give this a miss but if you just want a basic plot and a few laughs then you could do worse. These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.

I had to rewrite my original, two-star review, because to be honest I'm fascinated by this show. The description leads you to believe that it's merely a juvenile retelling of "I Dream of Jeannie", but it's more than that. It's a crazy mix of soft-core porn, Disney Channel teen comedy, action show, and surprisingly touching drama. At times the main character, Tomoki, is merely a two-dimensional horny jerk: Major Heely, not Major Nelson, but his angeloids love him because he gives them what they've never had: a chance to experience friendship and love. The most poignant angeloid, Ikaros, is a weapon with intelligence and power but no emotion. The second angeloid, Nymph, has emotion and intelligence, but limited power. And the third angeloid, Astraea, has power and emotion, but no intelligence. They must all grow in different ways. I think it's worth giving this show a chance, but be warned. The episodes which focus on Tomoki's horniness are incredibly stupid! Stick to the ones about the angeloids, and I think you might find this a rewarding experience.

It's just really about a pervy thinking teen boy who gets caught up with an angel in which she is suppose to be a "yes" girl to him. Yeah the English Dub cast are good but not the whole story unfortunately...

This is one of my favorite anime's I have ever seen! I have watched it and re-watched it about 5 times. I have seen Sora No Otoshimono (Season 1) and Sora No Otoshimono Forte (Season 2). This anime at the sad scenes made me cry because of the in depth details. I also cried when it ended. This was odd for me because I never had cried for a movie or show before. After I was done I recommended it to Three people and all of them now feel the same as me that this anime is the best. It was worth the two days of no sleep to watch and stuff (Not to mention skip work). All I am thinking about is I can not wait for the Movie to get subbed so I can watch the next piece to this series. I highly recommend that you watch this it has made me open my eye when it comes to quality of plot.

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 9 stars.
