But before we delve into that, let us define what the term means. Fingers have been pointed at various animes for providing it, and a lot of those fingers point to an anime called Heaven’s Lost Property. Heaven's Lost Property is an anime series adapted from the manga of the same title by Suu Minazuki, The story revolves around Tomoki Sakurai, a young man struggling for a life of peace and quiet when he encounters Ikaros, an Angeloid who fell from the sky, and other Angeloids as the series progresses.“Fan service” is a term that’s been floating around the anime scene for a while.

Ikaros’ skimpy costume and other…features…certainly add to it. Even the design of the characters argues for fan service. There are tons upon tons of sexual innuendos, jokes, and suggestive themes…mostly involving Tomoki. But does it provide fan service? The answer is, of course, yes. Over time, other characters are introduced – Eishiro Sugata, the clever head of the New World Discovery Club Mikako Satsukitane, a self-centred, dry-humoured class president Sohara Mitsuki, Tomoki’s childhood friend and Nymph, another Angeloid with a bit more personality.Each of these characters presents their own identities to the series – which argues for clever writing. She attaches herself to Tomoki.
It could be argued that the fact that these sort of shenanigans occur because of him.Let us compare another show that is often criticized for its nudity: Game Of Thrones. Every dirty thing that occurs in the show is either because of something he’s done or something that he’s involved in. Yes, there are sexual themes…but they all stem from Tomoki, who, by character, is that kind of person.
It’s certainly hinted at, but never revealed. Another main difference is that while Game Of Thrones shows its nudity in full, Heaven’s Lost Property never actually shows anything detailed. In Heaven’s Lost Property, there’s always a reason for the nudity. But there are also scenes that have no call for it there are a few in particular that stand out. There are plot points that call for nudity (the scene with Ygritte and Jon Snow, for example) and there are scenes that call for nudity (any scene in a whorehouse – what else do you expect?). There are women shown naked everywhere, and men’s nudity is hinted at but doesn’t occur as often.
Ikaros doesn’t understand this, since she’s never had a master who would care this much for her…and she bursts into tears, showing that she has become more human without her realizing it.This brings the theme of abuse into the story as well. This angers Tomoki, who tells her never to do it again, because she’s a person to him, and he doesn’t want her to feel the need to sacrifice herself for him. But afterwards, when Tomoki asks if Ikaros knew the bullet would be harmless to her, Ikaros replies that she did not.
The scene of Nymph being pushed into the ground by her master’s boot heel while clutching a clump of blood and feathers is extremely brutal and actually kind of hard to watch. Once she has completed this task, he physically assaults her. He tells her that since the bird is her friend, he wants her to rip its wings off. He demands that she entertain him, so she summons a bird that she has befriended, hoping to appease him.
“I don’t know what to do without orders,” she cries to him. She spends the episode going around and begging various characters to give her orders, until at the end she confronts Tomoki. It comes at the final episode, where Nymph has finally been freed from her master…but she doesn’t know what to do, since Angeloids were programmed only to take orders. I will conclude with what I think was the most important scene of the first season.
It certainly doesn’t deserve the bad rap it has been getting, and, if you are looking to get into the anime scene, I strongly recommend giving this one a try.Also, I couldn’t fit it into the review, but Ikaros and her watermelon are absolutely adorable. But for all that, it has clever jokes – enough to make me laugh out loud once in a while – strong character development, dark moments, and is all-around just fun to watch. Don’t get me wrong, there are things that do annoy me with this anime the constant chibi animation quickly gets tiring, the obvious crush that Sohara has on Tomoki is wearying, and sometimes the sexuality of the show is carried too far. It doesn’t reveal what she does after that, just concludes with her standing confused on a lonely road with no more idea what to do now than when she started.I could go on and on about the strong writing of Heaven’s Lost Property, but as I have stated, spoilers. It’s telling her that she’s got to stand on her own and not fear the consequences, which is what free will is all about. Nymph still has no orders and no idea what to do with free will, but she has no choice but to make the most of it.
