Watashi ni Tenshi ga Maiorita!

I see a lot of the other reviews/posts and i am confused as to why everyone thinks miyao is a pedophile, which i really don't agree with.

Story/Plot
When i started watching, honestly there wasn't much i expected because i thought it might be similar to uzamaid, which a lot of people thoughts as well and ended up completely misjudging the whole anime just becaus of the first episode. The story was filled with so many cute and funny moments, every episode miyako evolved more as a person through the hep of hana noa and her sister. The story started out with miyako being a shy Neet ... who couldn't even hold a conversation properly because she was really shy but that all change after she met her little sisters (Hinata) friends, who along with miyako experience something new everyday and as we move on more characters are introduced such as matsumoto and her absolutely cute little sister. overall The story is good, calm and fun to watch. as i said earlier i didn't have any expectations going into this but i ended up loving it in the end.

Art/Sound
The art is pretty good and the character designs are absolutely beautiful enough to make u fall in love with the characters. The sound is cheerful and the Opening and Ending go completely with the anime's cheerful and fun mood.

Overall 9
It was way better than i expected, everything was so simple yet interesting and i absolutely recommend watching because i enjoyed every singe minute.

Watashi ni Tenshi ga Maiorita! goes off in the wrong foot by giving us an alienating premise and something that even caught LA unawares as LA didn't even see MIYAKO in the anime poster before LA started watching the anime itself as LA thought this anime was gonna be in a similar vein to Slow Start, geez LA must be getting blind or something.

So LA will say this before anybody gets any ideas about the premise, the first episode itself gave off a VERY bad impression of the anime as a whole about Miyako, she's a recluse who likes one of her younger sisters friend ... of Hana Shirosaki voiced by Maria Sashide, but she KNOWS her feelings towards Hana is wrong and not appropriate at all but adores her anyways, let alone the fact that Hana herself is the more dominate one, keeping Miyako in check and stopping her from doing anything shady. The anime itself isn't even really pervy in anyways and the worse it got was that Hana and the rest of the cast gets to dress up in non fanservicey costumes for the majority of the anime. Hell Hana finds ways to utilize and even manipulate Miyako in order to get snacks and food from her as her family doesn't allow Hana to eat those kinds of things and by the end of it, Miyako and Hana's friendship is just that a mutual friendship with no romantic vibes at all.

Watashi ni Tenshi ga Maiorita!'s characters are ok but falls under the clicheness with certain characters having a running gag here and there. Of course Miyako and Hana has them too. Miyako for her cosplaying the rest of the cast, Hana's obsession with junk food, Miyako's younger sister Hinata voiced by Rika Nagae is the hyper genki character that clings onto Miyako, Noa Himesaka voiced by Akari Kito being the semi-narcissistic kid and wanting everyone to call her cute, a conflict in which Hana trumps Miyako's eyes and Noa get annoyed by. This for the mos tpart is the basis of the comedy in Watashi ni Tenshi ga Maiorita! just with some different settings and situations here and there and it has a mark of repetition at times with it's characters as a result.

The minor characters do come in here and there, like Koyori Yanemura voiced by Hitomi Ohwada, a friend of Hana and Hinata who thinks she's a great leader and can do everything but fails and her best friend Kanon Konomori voiced by Naomi Oozora who's the polar opposite and is extremely reliable and that's their entire gag. There is one other character to note and that's Koko Matsumoto voiced by Lynn who's is actually the perceived "Miyako" as she stalks, takes picture and finds EVERYTHING about Miyako and yeah that's her entire gag as well.

The animation done by Doga Kobo is expected moe and this is no different right down to the character designs and background work. LA REALLY doesn't have much to talk with the animation it's really is boilerplate Doga Kobo with their quality and expected moeness.

Voice acting, well seeing Reina Ueda as Miyako was kinda half-expected decent as the recluse yet slightly shy genki character to be honest, with Rika Nagae as her hypergenki clingy younger sister and Maria Sashide as the stoic almost deadpan Hana rounding the chemistry between these three seiyuu's working off nicely oddly enough. The voice cast was ok..maybe too moe at times...but just ok.

And that's the word LA will leave off with Watashi ni Tenshi ga Maiorita!, it's just "ok", the comedy is there with a few laughs but some of the running gags implemented towards the main cast does make the punchline easier to figure out or just cliche in the situations the cast goes through and no even for a show like this, the moe doesn't help if the comedy is this repetitive and predictable. Watashi ni Tenshi ga Maiorita! may seem alienating ESPECIALLY it's first episode but even going through the entire anime, it was harmless as a result but it's comedy needed some work with the premise it was given to us, but in saying that...can you?. Watashi ni Tenshi ga Maiorita! isn't garbage level material, it just played itself VERY safe.

(Ok, I will be discussing this shows… pedophilic themes. And I just want to clarify before you read anything. This isn’t a criticism on the people who have made the show and the people who liked the show as people. I am not saying that any person that has anything to do with this show, whether it is watching it or making it, is a pedophile BECAUSE of this show. This is a criticism on the show, not people.
There, let’s get into it)


I don’t think I have seen a show that I would call pedophilic. You know, you have shows that have some weird ... scenes with characters that look like children. I.e Dragon maid, Bakemonogatari (I haven’t seen the show, but I know there’s a loli in there) etc. But I wouldn’t call any of those shows pedophilic even though pedophiles can enjoy those shows sexually.
The only scenes with Kanna that could be sexually suggestive are scenes where the two characters have the same age, and (as far as I am aware) Shinobu doesn’t take part in sex with an adult.
But I think Wataten is the closest to loli hentai that I have seen.

The synopsis of “Wataten!: An Angel Flew Down to Me” is that Miyako, a socially anxious college student, meets her little sisters new friend Hana, who she is instantly amazed by. Through Miyako’s fantastic baking, she makes Hana do cosplays while Miyako takes pictures of it.
Miyako basically falls in love with a child, and makes her do suggestive photoshoots (From my point of view anyway).
Now, you could say that Miyako just found Hana to be extremely cute. There isn’t any sexual situations in the show. it isn’t a hentai or an ecchi show. But even though it is never stated that Miyako fell in love with Hana, looking at some of the scenes really point at it.
Now, this is the worst part of the show. every episode I was waiting for Miyako to break and just rape the girl. Doing that would actually be like a really shocking turn of events. Doing a madoka magica and make everything dark as fuck.
Now that’s what I would’ve wanted, but what I got was Miyako and her baby harem going around town doing all sorts of stuff.
They reference the fact that Miyako is really creepy, and the fact that they could call the police. And while that’s probably the best part of the show, where it is a little self aware of what it is, the problem is that they say it so many times, but they never do it. The perfect ending would’ve been Hana finally calling the police and then a shot with Hiyako in jail. But again, it doesn’t happen. Hana definitely knows that what Miyako is doing is wrong, but she never does anything. In the end, Hana-chan seems to be comfortable with Miyako, but she should be scared out of her mind. Miyako, an adult, has been using a child to do photoshoots.
When the Hana’s parents hear what Miyako has been doing with their daughter, their not worried, their not angry. they were excited…

And I just want to say. The concept of having the main character being a pedophile isn’t bad in nature. You can do some really interesting stuff with that, like showing that even though someones a pedophile, they can resist their urge to fuck children. You can convey a message that I have NEVER seen in any medium ever (Though, I would be surprised if it hasn’t been done before).

But what Miyako does, it doesn’t show that. What Miyako does is inexcusable. She isn’t worthy of all the attention and respect that she gets.
There is one episode where Miyako is revealed to have her birthday on that very day. None of the girls in her harem know this, and therefore comes up with a gift. This gift is a ticket to do whatever she wants with one of the girls. And when Miyako understands that Hana is one of the people that she can make do whatever she wants, she does This face. Can you honestly say that that face doesn’t have the intentions of fucking Hana.

Ok, you can probably tell that I’m getting quite a bit annoyed while writing about this show. But I have to say, there were things to enjoy. The lineart and coloring were both pretty solid, it was a fairly cute show when Miyako wasn’t being a creepy and there were actual scenes that I didn’t want to die from believe it or not.
But I can’t give excuses to this shit. I can forgive one-sided characters. I can forgive on-the-nose dialogue. I can even forgive trash visuals if everything else is fine.
But I cannot say that the fact that we were supposed to relate to and empathize with an active pedophile didn’t bother me.


Ultimately, I think this is a shit show, but manages to be harmless. I know I’ve talked about it’s pedophilic themes a lot, but the show doesn’t say that it’s okay being attracted to children. Miyako is repeatedly shown as a creep. And this is fine message-wise, but not writing-wise.
