If I wanted to, I could write a volume on this anime, it's that special.

The first thing I'm going to say is, if like me you watch two episodes and Tiaga annoys you. Try and stick with it for a couple more episodes, I did and honestly I don't regret it. I really can't express what Toradora did for me while I was watching it. I became really invested in the characters, more so than ANY anime before. This show moved me so much, that when it ended, I came on here and was in the forum, ranting passionately about how I thought the ... male MC had ended up with the wrong girl. I mean frothing at the mouth mad as hell, I've rarely been that moved. But then I ended up on the Toradora Reddit page and soon realised my reaction to this anime was typical of most people who watch it. If you watch this show, be prepared to laugh, cry, cry some more, get angry, possible throw the tv remote and swear never to watch another episode, only to find your fingers pressing the NEXT button.

I'm not going to give you a review of the show, I'm not even going to give a summery, all I'm going to say is if you like a good romance and want to feel it, this certainly offers all those things. It's well written, to the point of frustration and you will come out the other side emotionally battered. About a week or two after I finished watching this show, I realised I was wrong about who should have ended up with who, but it took me two weeks to realise that. That's how invest my subconscious was with these fictional characters!! That is the sign of a good story.

I'm giving it a 9/10 purely on petty, selfish reasons. I wanted to see an OVA of them main characters living their lives together, maybe even showing them having kids. Truly a lovely story and I'm both pleased to have stumbled upon it during a late night browse of Netflix and gutted that it ended.

After watching the 12 episodes, the OVA makes a break from the usual antics of the gang and refocuses the attention on Kazama's sister. This actually makes for a nice change, as we see the characters outside of the school environment getting up to yet more crazy stuff.

I know that some argue that D-frag lacks a clear direction from episode to episode, however I can think of one or two shows where the stories are self contained within each episode. I found this OVA to be a lot of fun and if your a fan of the series, then definitely watch it.

The only criticism I ... do have is regarding the voices, sometimes the voice actors sounded a little too mature for the characters they were voicing. But as I'm reading the subtitles and not paying much attention to the voices, it really didn't detract from the episode.

This review will be from a very nuubie perspective, I dont plan on giving anything away. So there shouldn't be any risk of spoilers, that is IF you decide to watch the movie. This review is written from the perspective of someone who has followed the anime and not the manga of the series.

What can I say about this final chapter to the Sora no Otoshimono story? I was SOO looking forward to watching it. I only learned about the series a while ago and powered through the first two seasons, finishing off with Angeloid of Clockwork. Admittedly the first movie suffered during the first ... half, reusing material from the show for a lot of the time. So when I learned there was a second movie, I put time aside to watch it. Snacks? Check, soft drinks? Check..Then the torture began...yes torture! If your a die hard fan of the show, then perhaps you feel the need to watch everything regarding Tomoki and the gang. Personally I WISH I had seen the reviews on here, as I might seriously had avoided watching it.
After a meager 50 minutes of rushed incoherent story, the credits begin to scroll up the screen and I found myself sitting on the sofa with a feeling of utter disappointment. Rarely have I watched something that's left me feeling so utterly crushed. Eternal My Master is a badly paced mess of a movie, that lacks any heart or passion that made the show funny as hell to watch. The ending was so terrible, that I had to seek out the manga for the show, just to see if I had missed anything. As it turned out, I had!
Seriously how can you make a movie so dire, when you have such amazing source material!??? Its like someone condensed the last few books to fit on the back of a napkin and handed it to the animators to work off.

As it seems the creators of the show have washed their hands of the series, it's doubtful a third movie will crop up anytime soon. Heck we can hope right? But seriously, do yourself a favor, go read the manga version for the ending this show deserves. You wont find one here in this movie. 'Eternal My Master' is a shadow of the series and a mis-justice to all the fans who love it.

'Angeloid of Clockwork' actually made me cry at the end, because even for all it's rehashing of old material, it was a nice story. 'Eternal My Master' was upsetting for entirely different reasons and not a single one of them good.






movie. Finally there would be some closure, would Tomoki finally settle on one girl?
