Sora no Otoshimono, the popular 2009 release, is back for another season and is keen to pick up right where it left off. Dubbed Forte, this season continues the theme of angels falling from the heavens with the addition of another well-endowed leading lady to add to the already pleasant-looking cast of characters which fuels the speculation that the present gang needs to have a new addition in which to rock the boat, so to speak.
It's clear from the start that these angels aren't exactly your run-of-the-mill halo-wearing harp-wielding stereotypes as the more teenage themes make themselves evident right from the off. 
As in the first season, Tomoki is once again afflicted with dreams that are most peculiar, but fortunately, the rest of his life has returned (for the most part) to what it was before these buxom goddesses came into his life. The compliance that Ikaros and Nymph have towards their 'Master' is pretty unnerving from what I've experienced but one thing that I have to give this series credit for is the quality of the visuals – if you've not watched anime in 720p before, YOU MUST. You'll be blown away.
Tomoki may not be the most endearing male lead I've come across in the anime that I've sampled over the years, but he seems to hold his own and doesn't beat about the bush about what he is – a teenager who is going through a lot of emotional changes as well as physical (which is touched upon QUITE considerably!). So another plus is the honesty of its characters. There are several amusing and extremely surreal elements (pterodactyls – 'nuff said.) that help make Forte quite an intriguing show to experience.
However, one thing that is of concern is the sheer ratio of male to female characters. Granted, fanservice is quite prevalent in most modern anime but the way that some of the female leads are portrayed and interact with Tomoki implies that they don't have much confidence in themselves and one sequence fairly early on in this season is just simply wrong and makes me groan with despair.
But despite this, I will say that Forte doesn't have the troubles of being one-dimensional like some of the more modern seinen series. Them, as a whole, have led some to question anime and its integrity. Thankfully, Forte is a happy-medium in this regard – it doesn't deny that fanservice exists, but it takes pride in the way it presents its narrative to its audience in a way that redeems most of its flaws. It's certainly an interesting show to catch up on or start anew should you not have seen the first season.
