Sora no Otoshimono Forte

Sakurai Tomoki has settled into his life with the two angeloids, Ikaros and Nymph, and is enjoying himself immensely. However, he keeps having weird dreams and asks all of his friends to help him investigate the cause.

Nymph conjures up a device that enables people, but not angeloids, to enter other people's dreams. The device malfunctions at first but eventually they get to what was supposed to be Tomoki's dream but discover that something is very wrong with it.

Later, a meteor comes crashing down from the skies at the site of the large cherry blossom tree where Tomoki first discovered Ikaros. An extremely well endowed blonde angeloid with a huge sword emerges from the meteor and sets off in search of Tomoki!

Sora no Otoshimono: Forte is the second season of the series of Sora no Otoshimono. Likewise, it's highly recommended you watch the first season before watching this show, as the story in Forte basically picks up immediately after where season one ends.

For those who don't know what this show is about, it's obviously an ecchi comedy at heart, but do not let this discourage your hopes of finding the foundations of good characters and story. Sora no Otoshimono has proven last year that the ecchi comedy genre when directed well is one that can create a very endearing story and truly likable cast ... of characters, and Forte as of this year continues with the same excellent direction that its prequel managed to execute successfully. All in all what you have in this series is amazingly epic and genuinely funny comedy, and an interesting story to round things out.

The story in Forte I feel isn't quite as consistent in quality as it was in the previous season. A few of the episodes exist mainly for the purpose of random (but usually funny) comedy, and don't really contribute very much to the plot. It is also worth knowing that the final two episodes are anime original content, and had weaker character development than some of the other episodes. However, the way Forte introduces the new characters of the series, mainly Astrea and Chaos, was truly a highlight of the series. Generally when Forte shows the viewer in which way the story is headed, it is clear, to the point, and captures emotions during both internal and external conflict beautifully. A point of focus is the fact the Angeloids, normally an emotionless object of servitude towards their master, are changed through Tomoki's kindness and equal level treatment towards them, which in turn develops their emotions for Tomoki, and raises some intrapersonal questions about what rights an Angeloid has under her master.

Speaking of characters, the characters are generally very good in this show. The three Angeloids, like other classical trios, are endearing individually and together with their varying levels of intelligence, combat abilities, and emotions. The duo Mikako and Suguta are both cunning, yet contrast each other brilliantly with their evil and good qualities respectively, although Suguta gets extra points for promoting the advancement of the story in a number of episodes. The character I enjoyed least personally was Sohara, who didn't feature too much development, and for the most part was just a stereotypical tsundere osananajimi who beats up Tomoki periodically.

Speaking of Tomoki, a lot of people complain about the protagonist Tomoki being too perverted, but I believe that the show would not be nearly as entertaining without a deliberately flawed protagonist like him. Tomoki is honest in more than one way, and while his honesty is something that his friends can rely on, his blatantly honest acceptance of his perversions as a hormonal teenager is also a refreshing concept in light of the "perfect" but boring and ultra lame protagonists that typically accompany your usual harem anime. This type of personality opens up a lot of opportunities for extremely creative and risque comedy.

The other part of what makes the series of Sora no Otoshimono exceptional is the general production quality. Forte follows the footsteps of its predecessor appropriately in this way, so it generally should be agreed that the art and sound quality of Forte are simply outstanding. Figures and backgrounds are detailed and colorful, voice acting for every character fits and contributes to the comedy well, and animations are fluid in many different types of scenes, ranging from the opening sequence (two of them!), snowball fights, chibi comedy shenanigans, showdowns in the sky between Angeloids, and of course ending sequence that is unique to each episode. Forte reuses some of the soundtrack that was present in season one, although a few new themes can be heard in the background to suit each important or comedic moment as it happens. In each ED, a different classic Japanese J-pop/rock song is remixed to accompany its paired animation. Anyone who has listened to a lot of old J-rock/pop might get a kick out of that.

While a few of the episodes might be mildly not up to expectations of fans of the series, they can be overlooked in light of how many exceptional things this show does. Generally speaking this show does a lot of things really really well in spite of (or because of?) being an ecchi comedy. This is not to say that this show ever slacked on being a legitimately fun ecchi comedy on top of their solid production and story. If you watched season one, it's pretty hard to miss an exceptionally epic concept like the flying panties. I'll leave it to you to decide, but I believe Forte does no worse in coming up with at least one idea that is equally, if not more amazing than flying panties. For me, becoming a fan of the series was inevitable, given how much I enjoyed it.

Mixed Feelings

To be honest, I have seen animes with a worst plot.

Sora no Otoshimono: Forte is obviously a comedy but it kept me watching until the end. There is not that much ecchi (I expected much more) but all the satire and the funny scenes made me laugh from time to time.

It is no more than that, a funny anime, with a little bit of ecchi moments.

It is also short, so you can enjoy it and stop thinking in your problems or something like that. The seriousness is minimal and Tomoki and his adventures for sure are going to make you laugh at least once ... .

NOTE: This is my first review. I've debated writing a review on this sequel for a while now. I've wanted to express my feelings for this show but for some reason I have been holding back. After having constant disputes with my friend over this anime, I'm now typing this review.

Story: 2
The story of Sora no Otoshimono isn't a bad one, but it is the way it's executed throughout the series. Over half of this series consists of episodic fillers with cheesy humor and overused ecchi. Now, I'm not the kind of person who doesn't like ecchi. But with the way it's presented in this ... show with Tomoki's constant pervertedness and dumbness, I just find it unpleasant and appalling. For the last couple episodes of the season, the anime decides to verge off from the usual perverted Tomoki and tries to fit in a story that you probably have already forgotten from season one after the overload of pervert given to you in Forte. Overall, I give the story a 2 mainly because over half of this season isn't even story, and trying to quickly fit it in at the end messed it up.

Art: 6
The art is good, I won't lie about that. The ecchi animation is good along with the background setting. The problem with the art for me is the overuse of chibi throughout the series. I found it humorous at certain times, but the amount of chibi used in this show is taken to extremes, which messed with the character development and just aggravated me at certain moments.

Sound: 6
Nothing bad about it, nothing good about it. The opening and ending were decent, but nothing memorable. Background music was decent, but once again, nothing very good or memorable about it.

Character: 2
The main character, Tomoki, is just a total mess that it is almost embarassing. A perverted young teen who ends up with a harem of angel girls, yet still feels the need to disregard their feelings and spy on other random girls in numerous situations. The other main characters are just typical for any harem, and even their personalities are typical and dull. Ikaros, the one who "lacks" emotion, but somehow is gaining it through the wonderful perverted actions of Tomoki. Nymph, the small one who won't admit her feelings to the pervert. And Delta, I think her name is, the "blonde klutz" of the anime, who just happens to have an enormous rack and will mess up every possible situation she is in. And then last there is Sohara, the "childhood friend", who has been in love with the perverted, almost always chibi, Tomoki, and still is in love with those marvelous perverted moments.

Enjoyment: 2
I just found this anime to be terrible in almost every aspect possible. Now, this i just my opinion though, obviously the majority of MAL likes this show, and I respect that. I just believe that if you look more closely than the ecchi and comedy of the show, you will see how Sora no Otoshimono isn't as great as it could have been. It had potential. But with the overused perverted comedy along with the terrible character development and use of episodic ecchi fillers throughout the season, the potential to be something better than other ecchi/comedy/harem animes was ruined.

Overall: 4
Overall this anime failed to appeal to my likes. My apologies to those who love everything about this show. This is my personal opinion and please feel free to try and change my views about it. Thanks to everyone for reading my first review.
