M'kay, I basically got interested in Sora no Otoshimono when I saw some random picture from Forte on this site. I thought that Icaros was adorable, so I decided to give it a go, although I was a bit skeptical since it was obviously gonna fall in the ecchi category at some point. And I gotta say, ridiculous female "flanderization" aside, this was indeed a pretty got series. I guess, since Astrea's featured in the above picture, it's safe to include "Sora no Otoshimono: Forte" in this review as well

The story, while spotty and fluffy for the most part could be quite dark and dramatic at times. When it aimed to hit at the heartstrings, it it typically did not miss. Most of this is effictively done through the pasts and backgrounds of it's three main "Angeloids", Ikaros, Nymph and Astrea (..especially Nymph). The humor, which is one of the series' main focal points, (but not the most important) works very well most of the time, although the damn near constant pervy-ness of main character Tomoki may start to grate on some, depending on who you are. The romance is probably the least effective aspect of the anime, despite this being a harem themed anime, since it's almost always interrupted by a "Tomo-boner", although Tomoki's ambiguous feelings toward Ikaros, as well as the obvious attraction to Tomoki from beautiful childhood friend Sohara could provide much more than it has as far as love triangles go in any future installments.

The music is a definite strong point in this show. There is of course the generic synthesized fluff that is required for shows such as these, but once the show gets serious, the background music makes a very prominent stand. From dramatic orchestral pieces to haunting character themes this show is nothing less than shocking in it's musical prowess. For what it is it did not have to succeed as well as it did in this category.

The characters are indeed a mixed bag as with all harem anime, but there's something about each one that kept me from disliking anyone. And believe me that is VERY rare. Tomoki may be annoying sometimes with his perpetual horny-ness, but he is definitely a protagonist who you want to root for, as it's clear that he would do anything for his friends and..."pets"...no matter how much he complaince about there invading his peaceful life. Ikaros is just the most adorable thing that I've seen in any anime (yeah Chi, you better step up your game) and the fact that she's an (almost) emotionless WMD with a constant look of innocent sadness on her face, just adds to her unique appeal. Nymph is a typical tsundere type, but don't let that fool you; she's much deeper than that and her particular arc is a bit of a doozy. Astrea may be more than "just a little special", but this works to her advantage in some surprising ways. Sohara is always there to put Tomoki in his place just like any other female childhood bestie to a complete hornball, but this is not the only thing that defines her as a strong competitor for the female lead. She may not have any special abilities per say, but she has enough quirky personality to match evenly with her super powered fellow leading ladies. Eishiro and Mikako are not the typical sempai that we've come to expect in anime, and there reactions with each other add some disturbing, laugh-out-loud moments to the series (although they do that well individually, Eishiro with his quirky, out of place stoicism and Mikako with her lethal serenity *shudder*). Antagonists are seldom featured straight out, but the looming danger of the sinister King of Synapse (don't let the angelic appearance fool you) and the introduction of the truly terrifying (albeit adorable) token creepy child Chaos, does add some very well done conflict for the main group.

Of course, not everything is positive, character wise. When the show drifts back to it's fluffy comedy routine, the characeters can become flat and one dimensional. It's a given that Tomoki will go naked chibi at least once an episode, Sohara will chop him upside the head, Ikaros will show the obvious signs of being in love with "Master", so on and so forth. But when you get past all the stereotypical repetitiveness of all the characters, the good obviously outweighs the bad.

The quality of the animation really shows during the more intense scenes, but that's just it. Other than that the character designs, while adorable, are nothing special and, in addition to some less dramatic animated sequences, don't look any different than what I saw in anime back in like 2006...BUT when stuff gets serious, so does the animation. The fight scenes are ALL beautifully rendered and wonderfully choreographed and, when combined with the fantastic score, can be breathtaking at times (especially when the deadly Chaos is featured as the opponent). I know I wasn't expecting what I saw by the time the first big battle came. The expressions characters are perfect in some of the more dramatic moments, really conveying the level of drama or severity of the scene. The animation quality also picks up whenever there's a scene in the heavenly world of Synapse (where the Angeloids are from).

All in all, I enjoyed this series enough to finish both seasons and I'm pretty eager to chick out the sequel film. It's not perfect, but it is definitely entertaining. Oh, yeah. For all you ecchi fanboys (...and girls), you should definitely give it a go. Storyline aside, this series offers tons of fan-service. There are so many boobs and butt-cheeks that you'd have to measure them by the pound! Tomoki's perverted exploits offer him (and the viewer) many opportunities to see some shiny bare-naked hotties. (Although, unlike Tomoki, the viewer won't be beaten within an inch of their life by an army of angry teenage girls ^-^). This risque aspect of the series may appeal to some (or many) potential viewers, but even those who aren't excited by this type of think (..like..me..) should check out the show for the other points it has to offer. I know that I don't regret watching it.

hulu and CR are obviously under the same parent company, why is there no reciprocity for anime? LAME!******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************* and why can't my review be short?

Well this anime was a dam good anime. However the storyline kind of sucked because there was no disclaimer saying that this was the second season. If I had the opportunity to watch the first season it would have probably gotten a 5 start out of 5 but since I didn't it got a lower rating. Now off that subject the character where all really well rounded with a little perversion in all and made for a funny yet interesting anime. I now cant wait to see whats in store for the movie and maybe go back and watch the first season. I highly recommend this anime.

Storyline: it's simple yet intricate. All together wonderful and easy to follow. It jumps back and forth between serious and complete nonsense but that works well with the humor involved.

Music: Not much to be said about the music. It fits the show but it still has room for improvement.

Characters: Humerous and serious all at the same time. With how often the main character switches between a true noble hero to a one track minded uber pervert, you'd think he had split personality disorder. The other characters are charming and well balanced. They support the main character well in all situations and are an overall joy to watch.

Animation: It was well done, though the main character was stuck in a chibi form a little too often.

I love Sora no Otoshimono to death. The characters are lively and cute, and the plot deep (although the plot seems quite shallow until Forte). The basis is that an ordinary pervert is magically and randomly granted his own robot slave ala Chobits. The rest of the anime follows their trials and tribulations, along with the other main characters (around 3 other humans and 2 other robots). It's a rare anime that can have you laughing your butt off one moment at panties flying (literally) and the next have you almost in tears due to the emotional content. This is one of those animes. It's the perfect blend of the ecchi fanservice, romance, comedy, and harem genres (ok, so fanservice isn't technically a genre, but you get the idea).

WARNING: DO NOT EXPECT A DEEP PLOT UNTIL FORTE. I can't stress this enough. Many watch the first season, see little to no plot and become disinterested. The reality is that the plot plays a MUCH larger role in Forte than it ever did in the original. One of my friends has even said that there's more plot in one episode of Forte than there was in all of the original. If it's plot you're looking for, don't give up until you've watched a few episodes of Forte.

Another complaint I've often heard is that when the robot first shows up, she grants the main character anything he wants, but that this quickly ceases and some seem to think that the whole wish-granting thing should've been kept. To this I say, the robot grows on the main character. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't make my close friends do every little thing I have the slightest whim for, even if they would do it willingly. It makes sense to me.

I've also noticed a trend in this anime I like to call semi-cliffhangers. Typically, two major plot devices are introduced in a single episode, one being far more important than the other (but both still being major parts of the plot). One is resolved in the same episode (the bigger one), and the smaller one is left as a cliffhanger. Of course, once all of Forte is out, this will no longer be relevant, but it seemed worth mentioning.

So, if it's a perverted anime with no apparent plot for the first 20 or so episodes loaded with tons of fanservice and sprinkles of romance and comedy here and there, this is definitely the anime for you.

Oh, and the intro song of the first season is amazing. That is all.

Note: Not all of the spoiler is really a spoiler, but a lot of it is. I specifically didn't mention any names or what the robots are called.
