そらのおとしみの / Sora no Otoshimono Episode 08

THIS IS WAR!!

Right, so this round of Sora no Otoshimono is a Battle Royale-style cork gun shootout.

“The Satsukitane family has organized a all-ages family fun event in order to promote the unity of our delightful town. All participants from young to old will be provided with non-lethal arms and munitions, and everybody is to mow each other down cheerfully, with these guns that just happen to look like AK-47 assault rifles. Everybody please come participate in this fun, safe community activity!”

Armed with his M16, Eishirou-kun helps snipe down the mob of vegetable ladies, fishmongers, and female classmates after Sakurai-kun, our popular protagonist. Don’t worry — “You’re loved, Sakurai-kun.”

Meanwhile, the Apocalypse arrives. Luckily for the world, Sakurai-kun tells her to go away.

Meanwhile meanwhile, Nymph is out and about being secretly evil again.

Wow, this is cool. So are they saying, like, Ikaros caused the downfall of the Roman Empire thousands of years ago or something?

And then she just starts crying. Nymph is so evil, she ends up being stupid. “I’ve got mud on my face! EWW! EWW! It’s so dirty!”

Wow, Ikaros is suddenly not an angelpet anymore. And Nymph leaves. Aww.

Meanwhile. Ahem.

“Oh, sorry, I had a real gun mixed in.”

Ending credits. Creative as usual. I don’t know why I took three shots of it.

And, as we conclude: Ikaros shows off her newfound ability to cry. Surprisingly sweet for a show as lacking in sanity as Sora no Otoshimono.
