Sora no Otoshimono Review

Overall Rating 5.0/10 - Average, mixture of good and bad.

Consider watching for Ikaros, but best is just getting her pictures separately from the show.

The one good thing about this anime is Ikaros. And bad is pretty much everything else.

If instead they made a show where Ikaros and Sakurai travel the world and fight leather clad Demonoids or something. Like Raki and Clare in Claymore. I might have given it 7 or 8. However we got this instead.

If it is not clear enough, Ikaros is very cute and likeable girl. She is pretty, quiet, well behaved and willing to do anything to please her master. A perfect girl, if only all of them were like her the world would be heaven itself.

For that reason alone, I might have recommended this show, much like I did with Another, simply because Mei Misaki is cute. 

However, I cannot recommend Sora no Otoshimono, since, unfortunately, Ikaros does not get enough screen time. And when she does gets screen time, show do not present her in the right way.

Story driven by unlikable mean purple-head, who comes up with most 'activities' and an even more unlikable 'killer-chop' brown-head who gets too much screen time and love from creators. It does not even get better when another angeloid is introduced, snarky Nymph.

While some episodes are fun, most are weird and makes you feel uncomfortable. Ikaros does not get enough screen time to compensate for show's faults.

Sure, shy timid silent girl like Ikaros makes it hard to make a narrative, but Claymore did manage just that. Even Darker than Black managed with Yin.
