Heaven's Lost Property (Seasons 1–2)

Heaven's Lost Property (Sora no Otoshimono, 2009) is an anime series you can watch online on iFILM — a Japanese mash-up of slapstick comedy, sci-fi and a strange streak of melancholy.

Girl-obsessed high-schooler Tomoki keeps waking from the same tearful dream. Then, one night beneath the cherry blossoms, a winged girl drops out of the sky and lands at his feet. Ikaros calls him master and offers to grant any wish he can think of — and his quiet days are finished. A second Angeloid named Nymph turns up, classmate Sugata won't stop theorizing about a floating realm in the clouds, and the whole town gets dragged into the chaos. Soichiro Hoshi and Saori Hayami lead the voice cast.

Adapted from Suu Minazuki's manga, the show keeps swinging between shameless fan-service gags and quiet questions about what these manufactured "angels" actually want. It rewards viewers who like their goofy comedies to sneak up and hit a nerve. Stream Heaven's Lost Property (2009) online on iFILM.
