There are very few times I watch an anime while it's airing. One when it's highly recommended by people I actually know and like or two when the premise seems interesting enough to wait week to week for the next episode. Sora no Otoshimono was one of the shows in the prior category. When I was told there'd be flying panties, I couldn't help but be shocked in awe at the randomness of the statement. I had to see it for myself. So after watching the airing show at about episode 6 or 7, I had to pace myself and distract myself with something else to not explode in anticipation for the next episode. I sort of regret doing it weekly, since I dont recall a lot of the funnier parts. Before I delve any further, Happy New Year's Eve. I decided to write this one up because there's no better way of ending the year, then a funny show to write about.
I should start off by introducing the main characters of the show. We start off with the main protatgonist, Tomoki Sakurai. This guy is the epitome of 'lol' moments. Your typical perverted male who only hunts for upskirts and possible boob moments. He also get a special mention in my book because the seiyuu who voice him is the very same voice actor who played one of my favorite characters of all time. I'll go into more detail on that one later on. Back to his chracter though, he's nice and kind while trying to maintain his 'peace and quiet is best' ideology.
You are my idolNext we have the main female protagonist, Ikaros. She's an angeloid who was built only to please her master. Oh boy, you know what that means. Oh yeah, woman in the kitchen. I mean, uh...yeah...like you thought of something better than that. Perverted minds. Being the 'servant' of their relationship, she has the ability to make all her master's wishes come true. So they spend all of episode 1 running around doing whatever Tomoki wants. Another thing to note is her inability to render an emotion.
Continuing on we also meet Tomoki's childhood friend, Sohara Mitsuki. She's your typical love interest with ginormous breasts. And I mean ginormous. She's easily a typ- Ok, ok. I wont go into details. Anyhow, she's in love with Tomoki, but never has the ability to confess her love for him. So instead she beats the crap out of him with her karate chops of doom whenever he does something perverted, which is practically all the time.
Next we have Eishiro Sugata. The more...random person of the show. Extremely knowledgeable and resourceful... I mean he lives in a tent in the middle of a forest. What the fuck? He tends to gab on and on about the age of explorers in the beginning of each episode, which is to say the least, confusing and annoying. He also has this fascination as to where Ikaros came from. The "New Continent" as he calls it, which is located in the sky of all places.
Lastly we have his best friend and the most evil person of the show, Mikako Satsukitane. Daughter of the local yakuza and next in line for succession. By evil I mean extremely. She loves the sight of others in pain as demonstrated by Ikaros in one of the episodes.
At this point, I dont know where to continue since the show is extremely random and to be truthful, you don't really need to watch them in order. There is some chronology in the story, but the random events that occur during the story can be watched at any time really. Especially after they introduce Nymph, another angeloid, around the 4th or 5th episode. I guess I'll just start with episode 1. During it, Tomoki meets Ikaros when she falls from the sky and nearly kills him. It's not explained why she suddenly fell, but he decides to rescue her from falling debris that followed her down. She wakes up in time to save him from a falling pillar and they become connected.
He later finds out that she can create anything from nothing. So Tomoki abuses his new found power by wishing for several things. One of the more important ones being the ruler of all the world. This turns out to be a huge mistake because by Ikaros' power she scans the entire world to see if there were someone who would take him as the leader in which there is none, so the entire world population is wiped off the face of the Earth. Dumb fuckers should've just submit! Later he wishes that it were all a dream, so it turns out it was. Kind of anti-climactic to only wish it all away, but how else would they return the entire world to its prior state.
In the next episode we have our flying panties and boy is it funny as hell. I mean, who in their right minds could come up with flying panties...I mean...its panties...and they're flying...They even go to the ends of actually making the panties fly over the entire world while being broadcast on television and no one questions it. They only look at it like its some kind of normal occurrence. Tell me, when have you ever seen flying panties. Back to the ep. Basically Tomoki's perverted mind has conjured up yet another scheme in which all the panties that Sohara tries on fly off. This ensures lolz to come. I just cant describe in words how funny this episode was and this show is in general.
I could go into detail on each episode of the series, but that'd ruin the general funniness if you were to watch it on your own, so I'll just be blunt and describe the idea of the plot. Basically the group is trying to make Ikaros more human because she loves Tomoki. Being an angeloid and devoid of emotion it is dificult for to do so. Many of the randomness comes from this fact. Like in one episode she overheard someone say lying is human, so she took it to heart and started lying to everyone.
Later on in the show we find out that Ikaros is really a big-ass awesome weapon that practically destroyed the world of the New Continent. Basically the reason why she fell from the sky in episode 1. She was originally being hunted by Nymph because Nymph's master wanted Ikaros to be his servant. In the other world Ikaros is known as the Uranus Queen and also as being one of the most powerful Angeloids. So it makes sense as to why he wants her. Unluckily for him, Ikaros loves Tomoki and doesn't want to disappear from his side.
Overall, the show is really entertaining. Id recommend it to anyone who likes comedy and randomness. If you're looking for a strong story, look elsewhere. This show is all about the rofl's and lmao's. I personally gave it an 8 out of 10 because the ending wasn't as strong as I wanted it to be. It was basically Nymph gets out of her original master's control and Ikaros kicks some other angeloids butts in which they retreat. Kind of anti-climactic to the tense atmosphere generated a little earlier in the episode. Especially when Ikaros went to Tomoki and simply said, "goodbye" and flew away, I felt my heartstrings get tugged. Ah well, I can only hope for a season 2. Enjoy the new year!
