Welcome back, my fellow AnimeVice followers, to this my second part of my blog review of the hit ecchi-anime Sora no Otoshimono (2009). As seen in the first part, most major spoilers regarding the anime will be hidden away behind the "Spoiler Warning" banner, but I will try to keep this as spoiler-free as possible. In Part Two of my review, I will explore the logic and story that the show is based on, expand on the dream that Tomoki has regarding the girl being "taken by the sky" and help you better understand this wonderful show. 
 

3c. Tomoki's Re-occurring Dream (The Logic)

Ever since Tomoki Sakurai was a young boy, he has had a re-occurring dream that rattles him to the core and almost always leaves him crying when he wakes up.  In the first episode, this re-occurring dream is briefly shown several times, each time revealing a little more of what transpires within the dream. The sight of Tomoki crying leaves his best friend Sohara concerned over his well-being, and decides to help him discover the true meaning of his mysterious visions.
 

4. The Imprinting Process (The Logic)

The Imprinting Process is first seen in Sora no Otoshimono in the first episode, after Ikaros awakens in time to save herself and Tomoki from being crushed by the falling stone pillar. This allows for Ikaros to be connected to Tomoki via a magical bond that allows him to become her new master.
 
 
 

5. Ikaros and the Pet-Class "Transport" Card (The Logic)

This is the card that allows Ikaros to grant any of Tomoki's wishes by summoning the requested items to be teleported to her current location. All Pet-Class Angeloids carry this card, in order to ensure the happiness and pleasure of their masters. The card can be used by anyone who possesses it, leading to several outrageous situations in which Tomoki's perverted thoughts become reality without him ever intending for them to come to pass.  The card can grant almost any wish that one so desires, for all they must do is think of the one thing they want the most and wish for it.
 

   

6. Types of Angeloids

There are Three main types of Angeloids that make a appearance during the progression of the anime. Listed below are all four types of Angeloids, their abilities, and their primary attacks/weapons. 
 
1. Pet-Class Type Alpha Angeloid: These variations of Angeloids are created for one sole purpose: to ensure the pleasure of their master and to grant him whatever he desires. Ikaros arrives on Earth as a Pet-Class Type Alpha Angeloid, with only the objective of serving her master and fulfilling his every wish and desires. By using the "Transport" card that is given to all Pet-Class Angeloids, she can summon almost anything that she requests from the world of Synapse and grant her master's every wish. Built to be very submissive and extremely loyal to their masters, Pet-Class Angeloids serve without hesitation. 
 
 
 
 

  2. Electronic-Warfare Class Type Beta Angeloid: These variations of Angeloids are built for stealth and battle situations. They can hide their wings, hack into high-security systems, and contain high processing powers. Nymph, who is a Electronic-Warfare Type Beta Angeloid, originally seeks to capture Ikaros and return her to her master. She possesses high agility, processing powers, and is extremely talented at hacking electronics whenever the need arises. Her primary attack is a powerful energy beam called Paradise Song, which shoots high-energy blasts at her enemies.
 
 
 
 
 

  3. Ambush-Class Type Gamma Angeloids: The twin Harpies that become the main antagonists towards the end of the show are both Ambush Class Type Gamma Angeloids, possessing the powers of invisibility, super-strength, and devastating energy weapon attacks. They posses a might particle canon by the name of Prometheus, which shoots a high-energy laser blast that heats the air around it to a staggering 3,000 degrees C. 

7a. The World of Synapse (The Logic)

 The world that resides within the black pocket of disturbance that slowly is making it's way over the earth's surface, Synapse is the world in which the Angels and their creations (mainly the Angeloids, such as Ikaros, Nymph, and the Hapries) live in. Surrounded by mystery and shrouded in secrecy, it is not until later on before Tomoki and his friends learn the truth about the "new world" hidden away from mankind and feel the wrath of one of it's inhabitants, who seeks the rare Variable wings of Ikaros and to punish Nymph for failing to serve him obediently.

7b. Nymph's Master in Synapse and the Harpies (Spoilers Hidden)

Living in a massive Roman-style temple up in the upper reaches of Synapse, the male angel who is the master of both Nymph and the two Harpies requests that she go down to earth and seek the Angeloid Ikaros, for he desires to come into possession of her Variable-Type wings (which are apparently quite rare and valuable). Fearing to upset her master and bring on another vicious beating, Nymph makes her way down to the town of Somari, to observe the movements of Ikaros and to capture her in order to return to her master and please him.  

8. Conclusion

Overall, Sora no Otoshimono is a funny, ecchi-filled anime that will leave you either laughing until you cry or will leave you somewhat shocked that they managed to pull it all off in a outrageously-epic way. I recommend this show to all who have a great appreciation for Harem and Ecchi animes. If you can overlook the somewhat non-existent story, this show is fairly enjoyable.
   
*** (ignore this unfortunate format error)***
 
The Good: Original cast, outrageous moments, some fan-service to be found, interesting concepts, great artistic style, full of strange twists.
The Bad: Lackluster (almost non-existent) story and plot, some dull moments, more information regarding the girl in Tomoki's dreams and Synapse would have helped the story and Plot.
 
Final Score: 3.75 Stars out of a possible 5 Stars

Hello, my fellow AnimeVice lovers, and I would like to welcome you all to this my second full-fledged blog review of a anime series. For this review, I will be discussing the hit ecchi-anime Sora no Otoshimono (2009). Like in my previous review (Kampfer), I will try to keep this as spoiler-free as possible, but any potential spoilers that might appear in this review will once again be hidden away behind the "Spoiler Warning" banner. In this first part of my review, I will explore the plot and story that the show is based on, give detailed information regarding the many characters that make appearences, and help you better understand this wonderful show. Enjoy!

1. The Plot (Beginning)

The main plot of Sora no Otoshimono primarily revolves around the main protagonist Tomoki Sakurai, a teenage boy who currently lives in the small city of Sorami along with his childhood friend Sohara Mituski. He lives alone in his parents old house on the outskirts of town, and only wishes to enjoy a life full of peace and quiet. Every night since he was young, Tomoki has had a recurring dream in which he is upon a grassy hillside, and a mysterious girl with wings that he loves is being taken away from him by the sky. She warns him that "the sky has me", tells him to "come and save me", and that he will lose his angel if he is not careful. This dream leaves Tomoki confused and crying when he wakes from the dream, for he feels as if he is losing something important to his existence. Worried about his reoccuring dream after seeing him wake up crying after class is over, Sohara decides that they will tell the leader of The New World Club at their school about his dreams.


Thus starts the wild, wacky adventures of Tomoki Sakurai as he tries to figure out why these series of events have taken place, and how he must deal with the changes that now affect his everyday life.
 
The plot of Sora no Otoshimono can be confusing at times, mainly due to the story jumping around somewhat randomly as the show progresses. Fans of the ecchi genre will greatly enjoy this show, but might be put slightly off by the inconsistency of the story.
 
Plot: 3.75 Stars out of 5 Possible Stars.
 

2. Main/Supporting Characters (Mainly Spoiler-free)

During the course of his adventures, Tomoki befriends several different people that each end up playing a part in the overall story.  Listed below are the supporting characters, other Angeloids, and beings that Tomoki comes across during his wild adventures in Sora no Otoshimono. 
 
  1. Tomoki Sakurai: A quiet, teenage boy who currently attends school in the small city of Sorami, Tomoki is the main protagonist of Sora no Otoshimono. He lives alone in his parent's old home on the outskirts of town across the street from childhood friend Sohara Mitsuki; preferring to live a live full of peace and quiet (as his motto goes: Peace and Quiet is Best). His mostly peaceful life, however, is brought to a shattering end after he is saved from certain death by Pet-Class Angeloid Ikaros, who imprints herself to him with a magical chain and declares him her new master. Even though Tomoki has a extremely perverted side (such as using one of the many peepholes that he has made in order to see girls changing or stashing his collection of pornography in his closet), he is a mostly kind and sincere person, who deeply cares for those around him.
 
 
2. Sohara Mitsuki: The teenage childhood friend of Tomoki Sakurai, Sohara often wakes him up every morning before they both head to high school (because she lives across the street in her mother's house). She experienced a sickly childhood when she was young, thus resulting in her not having very many friends to play with while growing up. She becomes extremely envious and agitated over Tomoki's relationship with both his Angeloid Ikaros and later with Nymph, a fellow Angeloid like Ikaros. Whenever his perverted side comes out, she usually responds by smacking him with a brutal karate-chop that leaves him dazed and in pain. She is deeply in love with Tomoki (to the point in which she dreams of her and Tomoki being together in provocative situations, such as taking a bath with him, etc.) and fears that he might fall for one of the Angeloids instead. Even though she denies it, she actually enjoys it whenever Tomoki is being perverted in her presence. 
 
 
3. Eishiro Sugata: The esteemed leader of the small school club called "The New World Club", Eishiro's current goal is to explore the "new world", in which he says lies within the black orb of disturbance that shot down Ikaros to earth. He is a research scientist, researching into the issues regarding the "new world" and that of the Angeloids. He has a tendency to praise famous explorers such as Columbus and Marco Polo in his speeches. He is friends with the President of the Student Council. 
 
 
 
 
4. Mikako Satsukitane: A upperclassman to both Tomoki and Sohara, Mikako is the President of the Student Council at the high school and a childhood friend of Eishiro Sugata. She is the direct heiress of a might Yakuzua family and she is very manipulative, cunning, and sadistic towards others that she considers below her. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The cast of Sora no Otoshimono is funny, random, and amazing all at the same time. One of the more better casts of a ecchi anime that you will see.
Characters: 4.25 Stars out of possible 5 Stars

3a. Main Angeloids

After being imprinted to Pet-Class Angeloid Ikaros and thus magically bound to her, Tomoki unwillingly becomes her new master, who she will grant his every wish and desire that he so craves. Later on in the show, he will come across another Angeloid by the name of Nymph, who was sent to recapture Ikaros. Listed below are the two main Angeloids that make their appearance in Sora no Otoshimono.
 
1. Ikaros: Ikaros is a Pet-Class, Type Alpha Angeloid who falls from the mysterious black orb in the skies above the city of Sorami. After being saved by Tomoki Sakurai and by closely saving him from being crushed by a falling pillar, she imprints herself upon him, connecting to him via a invisible chain that effectively bonds them together. Her primary objective as a Pet-Class Angeloid is to grant her current master (Tomoki) with any wish or desire that he currently wants with the use of magical cards, thus leading to some outrageous moments that create absolute chaos in his mainly quiet life. She is very submissive towards others and has a very poor grasp on human emotions, although she does display aggressive anger whenever Tomoki's life is in peril. She is willing to sacrifice herself at a moment's notice in order to protect Tomoki's life at all cost.

2. Nymph: Nymph is a Electronic Warfare Class, Type Beta Angeloid that is originally sent by her master in Synapse to capture Ikaros and return her to him, so he can harvest her wings (which are very rare, apparently). But with her being far less powerful than Ikaros, she fails to complete her mission and decides to move in with both Tomoki and Ikaros (much to the dismay of Sohara, who sees Tomoki falling in love with one of the Angeloids instead of her). At the beginning, she treats humans as lower beings that are under her boots (referring to Tomoki on several occasions as a "bug"), but as she observes the ways of humans, her opinions on them begin to change. She begins to develop feelings for Tomoki after seeing how kind of a master he is towards Ikaros (unlike hers, who beats her whenever he feels like it) and eventually decides to turn against her master in Synapse. Nymph is highly-skilled in the ways of stealth and hacking technology but low on overall power and strength.
 
 
 

3b. Other Angeloids (Harpies)

After a key series of events take place, two other Angeloids are dispatched by Nymph's master in Synapse to complete the mission that Nymph failed to do, and to teach Nymph a deadly lesson for betraying their master. They make a brief appearence in the anime (towards the end of the series), but they affect the ending. 
 
1. Harpies: The twin Ambush-Class, Type Gamma Angeloids sent by Nymph's master in Synapse to punish the futility of Nymph and to capture Ikaros at all cost, they serve as the main antagonist towards the conclusion of the anime.
