I realized that this is the third fantasy anime in a row I've previewed for fall and, worried, went to look at my cheat sheet...which is when I realized that fall '09 is going to be a pretty fantasy-heavy season. @_@ Title: Sora no OtoshimonoJP Title: そらのおとしものTitle Translation: The Sky's Lost ThingsStudio: AICGenre: Fantasy/ComedyAirs: Chiba TV, Mondays at 12am, starting Oct. 5th<object width="580" height="360"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/PqpdFT8wHh8&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x402061&color2=0x9461ca&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed wmode="transparent" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/PqpdFT8wHh8&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x402061&color2=0x9461ca&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="580" height="360"></embed></param><param value="transparent" name="wmode"></param></object> A would-be "normal guy," Tomoki Sakurai, tries to have a normal life in spite of the strange dreams he has about a girl who he feels he should remember. Then, one day, she falls from the sky-- a scantily-clad angel with wings and a chain around her neck. Along with the angel, Ikaros, comes a slew of decidedly not-normal difficulties for Tomoki to deal with.If you watch the trailer above, you might notice that the series looks a little...schizophrenic. With a kind of badass, dark opening, suddenly we move into a totally typical supernatural harem rom-com (think Shuffle!), except with occasional hints at a darker plot. I'm kinda thrown for a loop here. The series is based on the popular manga of the same name by Suu Minazuki, published in Kadokawa's Shounen Ace. At least the harem is "healthy," if a little bit overly buxom...not that I have anything against lolis, but I'm kinda getting tired of them. Of course, just because the lead's not a loli doesn't mean there ISN'T a loli...sigh.
