Between Linux and Anime

Finished Otoshimono! And here at the very end I must say I’m pretty glad after all that I didn’t drop this one. Who would’ve guessed, that character who started out as meh generic cutepoints jailbait blue-haired loli ended up becoming my favorite character in the show. It was the oldest cheat in the book – make a character look really adorable, give her some minor but cute and sweet developments, make the story treat her really (like really, REALLY) bad, then bring on the over-the-top-awesome we-will-save-you-cos-you’re-our-precious-friend thing. And oh did it sucker me :( I mean, even with all the nonsense we had to take watching this show up to this point, how can we help not tearfully smiling along when we see Nymph like this:

Oh, and I should add that that final episode at long last met and surpassed my bad-assery expectations. Good job Ikaros! And good job in general Sora no Otoshimono. You were actually pretty enjoyable, and if you ever reappear with a sequel, I’ll seriously consider picking you up again :)
