We Without Wings - Under the Innocent Sky, often abbreviated to Oretsuba, is not an anime that appeals to the majority of viewers. Yet, the thematic construction and unraveling of the narrative leads to one of the most unique psychological presentations I have witnessed within the medium. It is an adaptation of a visual novel of the same name by Navel and is notoriously impossible to translate due to the author’s complex and culturally unbridgeable prose, restricting the source material from those who do not speak or understand the nuances of the Japanese language.
The plot follows three men and their connection to various women, Haneda Takeshi, a feeble and chuuni high school student who escapes from bullying through the belief he is a knight from another dimension; Chitose Shuusuke, a…

Oretachi ni Tsubasa wa Nai, or OreTsuba as it's known more commonly, is one of those bizarre anime which leaves you with a weird aftertaste. It's one of the most confusing series I've ever watched in television overall. What makes OreTsuba so interesting is its way of dealing with the subject of Multiple Personality Disorder, wrapped in your average harem ecchi show with comedy, drama, psychological and slice of life elements and more or less expected twists. That alone makes this series underrated when compared to more popular anime in the ecchi genre.
OreTsuba doesn't follow the (average guy + special circumstances = harem of 3+ girls) pattern as much as a regular harem ecchi anime would. Now, of course, the male leads in the three vignettes do have the characteristics of stereotypical…

So i just finished OreTsuba for the 5th time and i spent an entire hour writing a review (and then closed it by accident so this is the 2nd take and i'm not even gonna bother trying to sound smart like all these other kids do) even tho i normally don't write reviews or care about reviews or about monkeys that get infuenced by reviews but this anime is so good that if my review made 1 more person watch it, it'd be worth it
This anime is the best, not even exaggerating. I have no reason to be biased and i only watch animes for entertainment and i have plenty of other shit to do so if you think fanboying over some random stuff on the internet is healthy or good for me you better think twice, the only reason i'm saying it is because its actually true - i still have yet to see a better anime t…

This is an experimental anime, specifically what kind of anime would you produce while under heavy influence of methamphetamine. But this anime appears to have required a copious amount of the said drug.
Story: Nonsensical, really anything that resembles a plot is just there by accident.
Art: Nope
Sound: There is indeed sound, not good but it is there.
Character: It appears that the character being so demented that it is an accurate reflection of the creator. A deranged psychotic writer. Enjoyment: Nope nor does using drugs and alcohol help.
Overall: It is crap, really poor execution into something that could have been done better but it is shit full nonsense of an anime.

No matter how much you may want to escape, you cannot fly without wings. Even if you try to deny who you are, you can't change exactly who you are. That being said, this anime came to me as a surprise. I first discovered it from an English-dubbed trailer released by Funimation, and because of it, I expected it to be a nonsensical ecchi. I came for the ecchi and ended up staying for the amazing story that blew my initial expectations right out of the window.
Adapted from the visual novel created by Navel (the company that created Shuffle and Soul Link, two eroge that also got anime adaptations), We Without Wings, known in Japanese as Oretachi ni Tsubasa wa Nai: Under The Innocent Sky (or Oretsuba), is the anime which I will be reviewing today.
We Without Wings centers around three young m…

"May the world know peace" is the key qoute of this series.
This series is one multiple personality disorder gone berserk, well not really berserk just pretty much loopy, basically it pretty much takes you on a trippy ride which will have you confuse as to which side is up or left.. Even that line didn't make sense. But got to say this series was a bit surprising I honestly thought this had a dark element to it, but actually it was pretty light, by the way this anime is superrr ecchi so for those who don't like gropping some tittay, white stuff on girls, or girls accidently falling and revealing all their glory then I got news for you, you have a functioning brain... Not I kidded of course but seriously stay away if you're not an ecchi fan, and for those who are oh give this one a go. Any…

I stumbled across this anime accedently. I read the reviews of how good it was. I watched two episodes and immediately I wanted to find the people who gave this anime an 7 or higher and fucking kill them....... I apologize! If you stick with it, its actually a good story. Overlooking the little girl who served no purpose but she was different and funny so i guess its passable. The only thing I don't like you only start to understand what's going around episode 5 or 6, so I feel they could've added more episodes letting us see all the personalites together as a whole... 12 episodes was just two short... But this anime is definitely an 8!

Oretachi ni Tsubasa wa Nai is a very ambitious anime. However, it also happens to be a harem comedy that really wants to pander to that otaku audience. The result? A total and utter mess that has a lot of good things about it.
Oretachi ni Tsubasa wa Nai tells the tale of three young men and their life in the city and their connections to the people around them. That's more or less all I can say without spoiling this, as it takes until the very end of episode 4 for things to start making at least a little sense in this show.
Before I go into the plot, I just want to say that Oretachi ni Tsubasa wa Nai has not just the best, the the second best harem protagonists of all time in it. Most harem protagonists are dull and have no personality, but for two of our three heroes, that is not the c…

If you want to watch an ecchi anime . . . this isnt for you. The ecchi scenes are few and far between and just jump out of no where. The ecchi fanatic will be starved, had some meat dangled in front of him, and then have it repeat.
If you want to watch a drama . . . . this isnt for you. It is not hard to make me cry in an anime. I cried during Angel Beats, Clannad, One piece (When Robbin says she doesnt want to die . . . . i watched it 5 times and made me cry every time) but not once did this anime touch my heart or make me feel attached to the characters with the exception of Asuka who really should've been in the story more.
Another thing this anime does wrong is it is too confusing for too long. I understand having some mystery in your show but when you don't know what in the world i…

Oretachi ni Tsubasa wa Nai, simply put, is probably the most confusing anime I have ever watched. The one weird thing for me, is that this is kind of my “guilty pleasure” anime. I know it’s horrible, but I enjoyed it for some reason despite not knowing what the fuck was going on for over half of the 12 episodes. I give it a 9/10 on my list simply because there I rate things based on enjoyment, but I’ll be more critical in this review.
Plot – 5/10
What Oretachi attempts to do is to put a twist on the usual “harem” genre where three or more girls fall in love with one guy. I won’t explain much of the plot because, honestly, I don’t necessarily understand much of it myself.
Art – 8/10
I thought the characters designs were pretty good. It’s kind of a mix between seinen and shounen so it’s…

Since the beginning of mankind mental illnesses have been the bane of people since they could not be treated, let alone cured. This series begins with three story lines about three different people that begin to mix at a certain point. First episodes require a lot of attention since it doesn't make any sense other than showing everyday life of some regular people, however if you patiently watch and gather the facts you will see how easy it is to put them together.
This is what I like about this anime that it actually makes you do some brain work other than speculating on the plot while enjoying its well made artwork. I believe it is necessary for a good anime to balance its plot with its artwork in order for it to be appealing.

If you are looking for something completely different, thought provoking, and brilliant, please please please give this show a chance!
This show has a horrible start, due to it over pushing fanservice, flipping through so many new faces you can't keep your head straight and having a little girl say horribly adult things. Which is it's main downfall, as well as some moments coming off cheesey, and a lot of what goes on just does not make sense.
See the thing is, it's not supposed to. In hindsight, everything was well done, made sense and worked. But if you don't finish the show, you will not feel this way.
It's crazy to say, but I've never watched an anime like this, and I highly doubt I ever will again. It really makes you think and is not for someone just wanting a fluffy light harem…

I've never been much for reviews, but when I recomend this anime to others, I also need to mention one concideration. This anime starts off very confusing, and I didn't truelly start to enjoy it until the 4th episode when the bits and pieces finally fit together. Once I got past the initial rough patch, it became more interesting beyond the ero jokes that it overflows with. As much as I enjoy ero humour in all its simplicity, this story added a much more unexpected flavour which had me laughing and gripping my seat at times.

Well after watching the first episode, you will feel something along this line: "Huh?" But don't give up yet! So you try the second episode and you're probably "ok..." And it just seem like this anime is just about 3 guys who goes around and gets tons of girls, just the typical generic harem, and also a lot of fanservice. But as you keep on watching you find that there is more to it.
Story: Yes it looks like the generic harem except now it is about 3 guys surrounded by a bunch of cute girls. Also there are also bunch of funny moments and yes the point of view keeps switching around and it just become quite confusing. The point of view keeps changing between the 3 main characters and it feels like what the hell is going on? Well this is a harem and fanservice filled anime, but I will throw…

This anime is quite difficult to review in my style, might even contain spoilers for people who are planning to watch this series. Anyways here I’ll try reviewing this series in the best way I can think off.
Oretachi ni Tsubasa wa Nai (or We Without Wings – Under the Innocent Sky) might fool everyone into thinking that this series is nothing but a generic harem theme show centered around three guys and their swarm of moe girls – true, and there is a lot of panty shots and even borderline hentai scenes and it didn’t help that the first episode is full of confusion with the presentation of all three male characters each has his own story and harem and is seemingly completely unrelated to each other. Viewers with enough patience and tolerance though on the extremely high number of seemingly…

Before I begin my review I must give you some of my viewpoints about the anime.. One, do NOT form your impression of this anime on only the first 2-3 episodes or on someone's view who has only watched 2-3 episodes; Two, after you begin watching the anime try to remember exactly, if you can, the names and faces of characters in the first 2 episodes cause it will get complicated later on; Three, do not get confused by the random events as many of them don't have too much of a deep significance. Four, and this may seem weird initially but I strongly suggest that you watch the anime till the end. It has a nice innovative approach towards developing a romance-ecchi-harem(?) scenario.

Once upon a time the world considered mental illness to be a taboo subject, so much so that those who suffered were often shunned or locked away, and it was often the case that stories dealing with the issue were thought of as ... controversial. Nowadays there is greater understanding of the ailments of the mind, and with that has come a rise in the number of tales featuring the subject as a central theme. That said, there is a tendency to focus on clinical depression, schizophrenia, psychosis, and other well known illnesses, which may seem a little odd until one realises that the most commonly fictionalised ailments have one underlying connection - they all made the national news. The press is rife with tales of psychopaths, suicides, serial killers and more, and while there are stories t…

About:
This is one of those anime based on a novel simulator, but with a somewhat different story, because it involves the main character with three different personalities. The game is produced by Navel (Shouffle!) and the direction the anime is done by Shinji Ushiru, the director of the Campanella Shukufuku. There are also manga being published in various magazines throughout Japan The story about a boy who has multiple personalities (apparently 4), but three stand out: Takashi Haneda, Narita and Hayato Shuusuke Chitose. The story unfolds with a complicated plot and scenes packed with fanservice, each personality has a group of friends and a special girl, over the episodes, the stories will be crossing and in episode 11 no longer has its own history
What I saw:
Oretsuba was not one of…

Oretachi ni Tsubasa wa Nai is a rather odd anime, but it is probably one of the most under-appreciated series from the Spring 2011 season. I’m not saying it’s an amazing series by any means, but it was a surprisingly solid show as a whole. From my impressions from the awful first episode, this series starts off feeling extremely fanservice heavy. Well, to be more precise, it has a lot of ecchi jokes and gags, and is really difficult to tolerate. If you have high tolerance for perverted jokes, and can bear with all of the craziness for a bit, this series turns out to be rather surprising in terms of characterization and story. The main characters for this series turn out to be quite a bit more complex than you would expect, and while the execution of the storytelling here is a bit convolute…

I know it's unjustifiable to give an 8 to an anime that has a GOD DAMN AWFUL FIRST EPISODE but before you hover that mouse pointer on top of the "Not Helpful" vote, please do take the time in actually reading this first.
Harem would probably be my least favored genre as this includes the generic moe/ecchi or whatever fanservice they could come up. I might also disfavor the said genre because of the fans which consists mainly of the typical perverted otaku who faps to his 2D waifu. Nonetheless, I still push myself to watch anime of the harem genre in hopes of finding something different. Though skeptical at first, I was amazed on how Oretachi ni Tsubasa wa Nai turned to be.
First and foremost, Oretachi ni Tsubasa wa Nai or simply OreTsuba, is nothing more of your typical harem. It is idio…
