Polaryzed – Now this series threw me for a loop. I came into it knowing that it’d be a fan service comedy. The premise/synopsis from ANN made it sound very similar to To Love-Ru. I enjoyed watching that show, in a mindless zombie way, and I’m never one to shy away from fan service, so I gave this a try. After two episodes, I’m VERY surprised by this show. The production quality is much higher than I expected, and it was REALLY FUNNY.
What I usually don’t like about most fan service comedies is the male lead. They usually are trying to adhere to some mythical ‘higher moral standard‘ that keeps them from acting on their impulses the way that (IMO) most other teenage males would. For that reason you get the old: “Lala-san put some clothes on! I don’t want to see that!”, or something similar.
Sora no Otoshimono is handling it differently, which I like. When an oppai andriod angel falls from the sky and says that she can grant wishes, what does he do? Wish for money and to be invisible so that he can watch/grope his hawt neighbor. Perfect! This is an animated fantasy, so dammit show me some fantasies. It’s a funny and off the wall show that doesn’t seem like it’s really supposed to make much sense, but who cares?
The clinching moment for me came at the end of the second episode. After all that pantsu nonsense the whole episode, the show has an ED of beautiful panoromic scenery with pantsu flying in a goose flock formation. Absolute win. Definitely going to watch this one to see what else pantsu can do that I didn’t know about. I’m out!
