Strictly 18 and Above!

Ok, so like i said...this week's review is for those that are only 18 and above. If you are not within the age limit then i suggest you scram and get the hell out of this page right now...

So before we start, i would like to clear one thing first. Everyone has their own preference and no matter what others say about your likes and dislikes, you shouldn't give a damn on what they have to say. I mean...duh, it's your life your living and not theirs right?

So without further delays i present to you 2 anime's that i think would make you feel a little awkward at times but happy inside? (lol that could mean a lot of things btw).

The First Anime/Manga that i'm going to tell you is "Sora no Otoshimono".
But before that, i would like to cite my own honest opinion on the series.
While i was watching the first few episodes, i was thinking that "Hey, this is weird...but it's good?" and "This can be better, this could get a lot better.", "It has room for improvements, with a few tweaks this would be awesome".

After watching Clannad, i got a little too sensitive while watching and reading things. So...I was greatly interested on how the anime would turn out to be. It turned out just right, but like i said it could have been a lot better. But i guess, without the usual pervertness then this anime/manga might not even be one of the best anime's of the current generation.

Anyways, Sora no Otoshimono is the story about Tomoki Sakurai...a highschool student that likes "Peace and Quiet" above all else. He has a childhood friend named Sohara Mitsuki that takes good care of him and gives him the "deadly karate chop" when he goes out of bounds.



He has been having a dream about a girl that he meets whenever he enters the dreamworld and she gets spirited away by the sky every time. These dreams seem to have a greater meaning than what it seems and that is where it all started.

A girl fell from the sky one night and Sakurai tried his best to save her from the falling debris. The girl was an angel (Angeloid to be precise) and she made Sakurai her master. Her name is Ikaros/Icaros and she is a "Pet Class Angeloid" which is made for the sole purpose of entertaining and following her master's orders (well, i wouldn't mind having one).

Sakurai did his best to teach her on how to act more human but it seems that she is a little too slow on things. One thing led to another and he meets another Angeloid by the name of "Nymph". A little Loli angel that is also known as Beta (Electronic Warfare Angeloid, Type Beta to be more precised). Her mission was simple, to take Ikaros back to the Synapse.

The first season progressed and Ikaros and Nymph had their share on how to live and feel as humans (which of course, they don't really understand). The relationship between the angeloids and Sakurai develop at a slow pace, which makes the story a little interesting perhaps?

The season 2 started of with a bang, it is also the signal of the introduction of another Angeloid, Astraea and she is a "Close-Combat Angeloid, Type Delta". A very beautiful yet very stupid angeloid. She is considered as a very powerful warrior but it seems that she is quite harmless and a bit clumsy at times. Her mission? To exterminate Sakurai once and for all, but it seems that she is having a very hard time on doing it.

Of course, it's not always sunshine and rainbows...a lot of twists has been made to make sure that Sakura's life is not as "Peaceful" as he wanted and the combination of these 3 angels made the story very good, to say the least.



Who wouldn't want three cute angels to keep you company? i sure wouldn't mind if that was me.


The next Anime/Manga is somewhat...err..a bit extreme to others.
The title is "Koe De Oshigoto" Now before you start saying that this anime is insane (which i would agree with you), it deals with a more "Real Life" point of view.

As we know Seiyuu's or Japanese Voice actors are responsible in giving life to our beloved anime characters. But what happens if a 16 yeard old highschool girl tried her hand on "Eroge Voice Acting?". Hmmmm to others that doesn't know what it means, it simply says "Porn voice actors" so to speak.

Yeah, a highschooler saying lewd and erotic words (thats a bit extreme you think?) and making it sound so real.



This is actually just an OVA which is on its first episode, i heard or i guess i think that the second installment of the Ova will be on March ( Crap...so long). This ova reminded me of a similar anime entitled "REC". A Seiyuu that is struggling to get a major role in voice acting.

Anyways back to Koe de Oshigoto, it is a story about Kanna Aoyagi a normal 16 year old high school girl that has a sister that works at an Eroge Company (a company that makes porn games). She was against the idea at first but did her best for the sake of her older sister. Actually she can act better when she enters her "Trance" mode.

When she goes into a trance, she is able to say the things that she wouldn't normally say. These includes erotic words that concerns genitals and other lewd words that is suitable for "ecchiness".

The story was funny as well, but the anime was actually more....whats the word? DETAILED perhaps? well, i doubt if the censorship will go down a little and i think the single episode alone has more "Ecchi" moments compared to any normal anime series combined.

It was really interesting and i kinda like it (haha? don't look at me like that).
Well, i guess i have to wait for the manga updates and the anime updates for Koe de Oshigoto.


Btw, i forgot to add that the Name for the second season of Sora no Otoshimono was "Sora no Otoshimono Forte", it comprises of only 12 episodes but i heard that they are planning to make a movie. I hope it turns out great, with 2 more episodes remaining for season 2 it seems that the anime will be a little too short for comfort. Anyone for season 3? well i can only hope.

I also added an anime opening slot in my blog. I will change it weekly and the change will happen by hmmm...Saturday next week? Anyways, enjoy the changes and i wish you all great days ahead.

I Will also change the songlist for the blog by tomorrow as well.

That's it for today and till then...

Keep the Flames Burning!
