Fall 2009 anime reviews:
Sasameki Koto
Genre: Shoujo-ai, Romance, School
Review: Ushio can’t help but openly show her affection for cute
girls over and over again. Because of that she lost all her friends and
was an outsider during middle school. In high school she befriends the
tall, cool and strong material artist Sumika. As she doesn’t fall into
the category “cute girl” she isn’t offended by Ushio’s unusual love interest.
However, she slowly falls in love with Ushio but fails to be noticed as
a love candidate as she isn’t her type.
In general as for the quality in art and storytelling the Sasameki
Koto anime doesn’t fall behind the shoujo-ai manga it is based on. It’s
a nice story; a little farfetched, but not too cliché. Yet this
anime probably won’t change the mind of those who aren’t into shoujo-ai,
but it’s a nice watch for those who are.
Rating: 8/10
Sora no Otoshimono
Genre: Fantasy, Drama, Comedy
Review: Tomoki is your usual high school boy and takes most
pleasure in life when everything is peaceful and normal. He seems pretty
happy as the little fights with his neighbor/childhood friend Sohara-chan
are only a small threat to his peace. Yet, he couldn’t help but save the
female angel-like creature who came falling down from heaven in a big explosion.
This creature comes from a different world and proclaims that Tomoki is
her master now. Tamoki cries as he wishes his good old peaceful days goodbye,
but he also sees the possibilities that come with the powers of this angel
and wastes no time to make full use of them. After all he is just a high
school boy.
Sora no Otoshimono is based on a manga by the same author as Watashi
no Messiah-Sama. Both are very outstanding and breathtaking fantasy stories.
While Watashi no Messiah-sama focused more on drama and action, Sora no
Otoshimono focuses more on the school-life/romance/comedy part. It can
be compared to Dears or Chobits. It’s the usual but always welcome “protagonist
teaches alien visitor about human life and human feelings” pattern. While
the manga already offers glimpses of hidden secrets and tragedies to be
revealed, the anime crew seemed to have had a hard time rounding up an
originally unfinished story within 13 episodes. Sloppy work on key scenes
and alterations to the plot greatly weaken the impact of both comedy scenes
and story relevant scenes. Despite these flaws it’s not really all that
bad and still worth watching
Rating: 8/10
