Heaven's Lost Property - Reviews

Oh, Lord. Greetings, fellow anime viewers. Back because it turns out reviews are required in the Secret Santa game, it's your favorite over-opinionated bumpkin, RandomRedneck. Here to review what I'd call a borderline affront to human decency in anime form. Yes, I'm reviewing Heaven's Lost Property. Let us begin, shall we?

STORY
To claim this show has a story is an insult to anyone who has ever written one. The plot is as threadbare as Tomoki's personality. Typically consisting of previously mentioned jerkoff Tomoki doing something creepy with a magic card, getting beat up, roll credits. They try cramming in a plot in during like the last 3 or so episodes, but I was long checked out by then to even notice or care. So yeah, story is just as trite as the rest of the show.

ANIMATION
Typically cheap animation you see in lazy shows of the late 2000's. Even the action scenes aren't that well animated.

SOUND
...The OP was okay I guess? This is the one of the VERY few positives I'll throw this shows way: They have a different ED at the end of every episode. A surprising amount of effort for a show this banal. The one at the end of episode 5 is surprisingly catchy.

CHARACTERS

Oh, it's my favorite part of any review: Where I rip into some abysmal characters. Now Ikaros is pretty adorable, Pres is funny and Glasses Guy is...there I guess. Oh, but our main gruesome twosome...

Mitsuki is the most insufferably cardboard tsundere I can recall. Her personality, if you can call it such, consists of screeching, being horny for Tomoki for some unfathomable reason, and some variation of the two. But she's not nearly as bad as...

Tomoki. Oh my sweet God, Tomoki. This guy is the biggest frigging creeper I've ever seen as an MC. He's not the lovable fun perv like say Issei Hyuudo or Master Roshi. No, this dude is just a borderline sex offender. And despite being a good candidate for chemical castration, the show insists he's a noble and likable guy...did I mention in the first episode alone he invisibly molests Mitsuki and destroys the entire world? Yeah, super sweet guy, ain't he? And his laugh. Sweet merciful Christ, it's like scraping a chalkboard on another chalkboard. AND HE NEVER QUITS SCREAMING. So to summarize: Creeper, stupid laugh, unlikable, destroyed the world, LOUD. He sucks. Big time.

OVERALL
For the love of everything decent, don't watch this. This is everything wrong with ecchi anime in one, VERY annoying package. In short, it's awful. AWFUL. Go watch something else. Thank you. That is all.

Dropped after Episode 4. Contains spoilers, so read at your own risk.

Now, it has been a while since I felt the urge to write a review. Especially surprised am I at the fact that I do write a review for a show I dropped.

Let us be clear about one thing: this is not a comedy show. Why? It is not funny. The episodes I've watched didn't even get a smirk onto my face, not for even a brief moment. This is an Ecchi show with almost completely uninteresting and mostly annoying characters. And if you are here for the former and don't mind the latter you'll be fine. Everyone expecting something else, stay away to not waste your time.

Story

A mysterious hole in the sky is floating around earth and some day a Pet-Angel drops out of it. Tomoki, the perverted and utterly stupid mc, happens to be there because of a dream he kept on having since he was little. The Angel, Icarus, then declares him as his master and that she will do whatever he says.

That being said, she is pretty potent, as she can stop time, teleport things around and make pretty much everything possible. A Genie with unlimited wishes, you could say.

I have to admit that this setting in itself is interesting and even though there was absolutely no developement in the first 4 episodes and I highly doubt there is in the following ones, I won't take it into consideration, because, even if it was good, the creators put plenty of effort into making the show unwatchable.

Sound and Animation

While the work in the sound department has been solid and nothing out of the ordinary, a slightly better job has been done in the overall animations. While nothing looks out of the ordinary, it is clearly visible what the sole point of the show is: squishy bouncing boobs.

They are litterally everywhere and whatever sorry attempt of comedy is centered around either them or Tomoki being beaten up by Sohara.

As someone who doesn't like ecchi, even if the rest of the show was good, I'd still have only given this show a mediocore rating. But this show wasn't destroyed by ecchi. No, it has a way more serious flaw.

Characters

I have watched shows that had one or two characters that dragged the show down, yet I was still able to enjoy it. I have watched shows that only had flat and/or annoying characters and I was still able to enjoy them.

Let us start with the good points: Eishiro. He is the only character in the show that neither has a mental disorder nor a vacuum inside of his head. And that is pretty much everything about him that is outstanding. Normally it wouldn't, but with the other characters around this is the only good point I can find about this show's characters.

I am well aware that there are stereotypical characters that are often used in Anime, simply because people like them. But this show has definately overdone it with the mc, Tomoki, Icarus, the Pet-Angel, and Tomoki's so-called childhood friend Sohara.

Tomoki is your usual perverted teenage boy. He is also unable to speak up, especially when it is important. And he is kind to the point that he'd let Sohara murder him if she just wished to do so (which isn't too far out of question). And he is utterly stupid. No, he is not an idiot, he is outright stupid and while the former can be cured, the latter can't.

He has got a Pet Angel that will and can do whatever he pleases. And not even once has he made use of that power to protect himself from Sohara. Not because he didn't want to, simply because that possibility never even once crossed his mind.

DESPITE him having her handcuffed in the second episode (and while she was she actually only beat him up once (however she did it)) he never thought about anything to make her not beat him up anymore. He has, and let me repeat that, got a Pet Angel that will and can do whatever he pleases. And not only did he barely use that power at all, he even let Sohara use it against him in episode three. And neither did he think about forbidding Icarus to fulfill Sohara's wishes nor did he think about asking her to protect him. His house was full of bombs and yet he just let Sohara walk off with Icarus whose master he is supposed to be.

Icarus is also a serious case of utterly stupid. Well, to be fair, she might just be an idiot, but the outcome would not have been influenced much.

Icarus is a Pet-Angel that for some reason came out of the floating hole in the sky and had decided (or was forced to decie) to become Tomoki's loyal servant. Due to her inexperience (and I'm saying that out of good will) she misinterpreted some of his orders or simply overdid it.

But there is one thing, no matter how inexperienced you are as a servant, a servant should know: You don't plant your master's house full of bombs that explode whenever he looks at them or touches them. YOU. DON'T.

Especially not if the one ordering you to do it has been beating up your master every five minutes. Why would you do what anyone besides your master says anyways? Actually, I take it back, Icarus is not an idiot, she is actually stupid. Had Sohara asked her to send Tomoki to the moon without a space suit, she would have done it without a thought.

However, even though those two would have dragged any otherwise perfect show down to a slightly above average rating, there is still Sohara.

I am not particulary fond of Tsundere characters. But if the trait doesn't stick out too much, like with Yuru Yuri's Ayano, then it's actually enjoyable. If a Tsundere is violent in addition, they're mildly annoying.

But if a person beats the shit out of a certain person every given chance and even tries to murder them, then they are not Tsundere anymore. Then they're just psychopaths.

Sohara is one of those special cases. She has two purposes in this show.

Purpose 1): Boobs. She got 'em, they look nice, they are shown often.

Purpose 2): Beating Tomoki senseless basically any time she sees him.

Whenever she sees Tomoki doing anything even slightly perverted she beats him up. It doesn't matter to her if it is his fault or not. She just beats him up anyways. For your information: not even once during the first 4 episodes I watched has it ever been Tomoki's fault (well he was partially to blame once out of, dunno, 15 cases at the very least).

And in epsiode 4 she tried to murder him. Due to events from episode 2 hundreds of panties had flown into Tomoki's room. She beat him up for that. She asked him to throw them out, well knowing that - since he is a pervert - he wouldn't. And, despite knowing that, she used Icarus' power to make it so that any panties he either laid his eyes on our touched would explode.

Leaving Tomoki to his fate she went shopping with Icarus. She actively kept her from returning to her master which she sensed was in danger (this, again, shows how incredibly stupid Icarus is - as if planting a house full of bombs wasn't obviously dangerous).

She then acted in front of Icarus as if she and Tomoki were really great friends and he was important to her (remember, she beats him up several times a day and attempted to murder him at the very least once) as to not raise suspicion in her (which would have never risen since Icarus is stupid).

Upon returning she gets send flying into Tomoki's house because he happens to see her panties. He then rescues her and, as thanks for that, gets beaten up again.

And the worst thing about is that Tomoki even thinks it's all his fault. And at that point I just couldn't take it anymore.

Never before have I watched an anime with such totally trashy characters. The only reason I kept watching this far was the mildly interesting preset. But then it only kept going downwards.

If you are a really hardcore Ecchi fan you might be able to enjoy this. Otherwise, stay away from this gigantic pile of rubbish.

Sora no Otoshimono (Heaven's Lost Property)

Plot: "Ever since Tomoki was a boy, he’s dreamed that the girl he loves vanishes into the sky. However, while he’s convinced it’s just a dream, his classmate Sugata is convinced that it’s related to an alleged ‘new continent’ that’s floating around the planet. According to Sugata’s calculations it’s set to pass above their town at midnight, and sends Tomoki to check it out. Little did Tomoki know that at that moment, a scantily-clad angel would fall from the sky! Calling herself a pet-class Angelroid named Ikaros, she promises to fulfill Tomoki’s every wish. Now, Tomoki is able to manipulate panties and do equally as perverted things with ease; but what is Ikaros really here for, and are her motives as pure as they seem?" (site synopsis)

Story: The story of this anime, if its right to call it that way, its centered on a perverted high school student named Sakurai Tomoki. Even since he was a kid, he dreamed that the girl he loves dissapears into the sky, however as time passed he was convinced that this was just a dream and he should put much thought in it. Until one day when he slept in class and when he woke up his classmate Sohara Mitsuki, an apparently innocent, loli, hot girl with oversized boobs caught him crying asking him if he had that dream again. Forced to ask for help, he goes to his senpai Sugata Eishirou, though his theory that Tomoki's dream is related to the "new continent" that he was talking about, its pretty much unbelievable, without common sense apparently. But even so Sugata sent Tomoki to a place where according to his calculation the "new continent" will pass at midnight. The event that happened there was a big surprize especially for Tomoki, he witnessed a person with angelique wings falling from the sky. After they escaped the person introduced herself as a Angelroid named Ikaros and she also promised to fulfill all of Tomoki's perverted and weird wishes and not having the right to deny his wishes, in other words Tomoki became the master and Ikaros the "slave". From here on a mindless, pointless, plotless, perverted scenes that will make you laugh your insides out will begin. From manipulating panties (infact this is the first time i see pants flying and i said to myself, "if i seen even this, then i think i've seen it all") and other perverted stuff, such as messing around with Sohara, his childhood friend, there is not much left of the story of Sora no Otoshimono. The question comes now, is Ikaros really who she claims to is, is there more about her mysterious past and sudden appearence? well what i have to say is that like most of the hardcore ecchi animes, which are plotless and pointless this one has a dark side as well, the plot is sacrificed completely for the sake of Fan Service its pretty rare, rather shallow, it will take place near the ending and for sure its abit rushed and unfinished (leaving an opening for a second season probably). What i have to say is that the first season of Sora no Otoshimono was unique, the first time i see an anime where a perverted dude can manipulate pants and make them fly, one of the few animes that really made me burst into laughter many timez, making me forget that the anime isn't completed yet and i truly have hopes for a continuation of it otherwise it would be just a complete waste!. A DVD episode of Sora no Otoshimono (the 14th episode of the series) will be released somewhere around June i think, so this is not finished yet though (the content of that episode might be abit pornographic so 18+ please).

Animation and Sound: Nothing much about animation, typical for perverted animes, a dude with a face where you can easily predict his desires, a hot, innocent yet violent girl which bursts into flames everytime Tomoki does perverted stuff, a typical nerd eager to find out more about the "new continent", a weird, mysterious character which falls from the sky eager to fulfill her master's wishes, meh nothing much you, the animation is above average in my opinion, way better compared to other shows. The sound is quite nice it fits the atmosphere of the anime, and if i remember well the soundtracks were pretty nice as well.

Characters: There's not too much information about the characters, since the story/character development is mostly sacrificed for the Fan Service aspect of this anime, though it isnt left completely unsolved. Stuff we know about is the friendship between Sohara and Tomoki, they were childhood friends actualy, some shallow information about Ikaros and more about them will be revealed near the end.

Overall: I find Sora no Otoshimono pretty entertaining, extremely funny, weird at some points, in other words damn enjoyable and something that will make you burst into laughter. For the fans of ecchi animes this is a must to watch, though i would recommend it for everyone. I really hope for a continuation of this it would be a real waste to leave it like it is now since it was really nice.

~Enjoy and Cya Around~

Is ok but the sound and characters were meh at best but It was very funny so if u want a laugh like me this is for you.

8/10 comedy

1/10 animation at points (WAY TO MUCH CG)

God I wanted this to be so good, why is it that all the anime that fill a fantasy id love to be in have the worst main character of all time.
