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.

Despite the fact that this is a harem ecchi anime there is a lot more to it then meets the eye. This anime is one that can be watched over and over again it has really catchy opening and closing songs and lots of humor that will have you constantly laughing like crazy and rewinding it asking yourself "Did that really just happen" while they do show lots of boobs and butt you will quickly realize tomoki is much more then your typical high school pervert the only sad thing of the anime is that there isn't enough of it and it will quickly have you asking for more every character from tomoki to ikaros and even the sadistic mikako and the idiotic astraea will all have you falling in love with them before you know it as a starter anime this one is one that will get you hooked before you know it

Don't understand the 10/10 reviews as this is just average at best. The main male character is annoying and moronic and does nothing to help his situation. Anyone with any brains could figure out the simplest solution and resolution to the happenings in certain situations but it turns into a whole thing that could have easily been avoided and if the writers had any sense of direction, they could have elaborated and expanded some of this situations he gets involved in with more finesse and intelligence, all the while keeping the ecchi aspect and making this A LOT better. This could have been a so much better if the protagonist had an IQ over 80 and wasn't such a degenerate.

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.
