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…

when you were stuck on what anime to watch and just searching, browsing through the internet just to find a recommendation that people made so you can be slightly interested to watch it. i would say you found it.
this show might not be for everyone but i can honestly said that it was pretty interesting. the plot was good i kind of like it in a way like durarara. it was really interesting how they came out with the characters and how the shows kind of like telling this is not your normal harem anime.
it's kind of refreshing when you watch something unique in terms of portraying the main character compared to other anime with the same genre. of course i would say that the scene from the first episode makes me think " ohhh another harem anime where the main character gets all the girls bu…

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…

If you can suffer through the atrocity that is the first 3-4 episodes the later episodes end up being a 6/10. Can't really say it was my cup of tea, if you like Welcome to the N.H.K. type anime it may be a 7 or an 8.
Story: 6 The story starts at episode 4, First few episodes were just mindless dribble.
Art: 7 Fine Sound: 6 Fine
Characters: 7 Probably the only enjoyable part of the show
Enjoyment: 6 If you can survive until episode 4 you may like the show if you like shows like Welcome to the N.H.K.
Overall: 6

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…

Is this anime good? No.
Is this anime enjoyable? I think so.
Would I recommend it? Not as a piece of art, but if you wanted something to laugh at with friends (and you were comfortable at watching something fanservice heavy with said friends), yeah, go for it.
A breakdown of the episodes;
Episode 1 - Mediocre sex comedy
Episodes 2 -6 - What?
Episode 7 - Actually pretty funny. I would recommend watching it if you have an immature sense of humour.
Episodes 8-12 - Somehow wraps up the plot and almost manages to make the previous episodes make sense. I'm not sure how. The good;
Genuinely made me laugh at points. The humour is random and immature, but I liked it.
The characters, though mainly terrible people, are mostly fun to watch.
It probably would actually have some rewatch value since 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.

First impressions,
So when I first got into this show I got incredibly confused by the show itself,
But after sticking though it and watching it twice I got what this show about,
All though I am pretty sure that was because when I first got into the show I was still new to anime, But at the same time this is generally confusing at times.
Story, 5/10 So we without wings is a story that about the adventures of are 3 main characters,
Which I am going to talk about them one at a time.
The first one being about Takashi haneda a bata male high school student who claims he a prince from another world and by another world I mean generic Japanese RPG fantasy world but stays in order to look after his little sister,
one day he is asked out by a girl named Asuka watarai who only reason to date him…

I charged into this anime not knowing the genre and the synopsis given to me was a little confusing so I didn't really understand anything but 3 guys are the mcs. I for one hate harem and ecchi. There are only a couple that I can tolerate. I saw a picture of Chitose and was like omg I have to watch this. First impression: this is ecchi isn't it, oh harem too great -_-. To be honest this anime has a terrible first episode that makes ZERO SENSE. It's one of those series you need to bear with the shit writing for a little bit to see how good it is.
Story: Loved it. How it played out, everything ties together, all of it. At first glance it looks like a harem ecchi comedy story about three guys. NO. It's more than that. Of course saying more would ruin it so that's it.
Art: It's average but…

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…

To me,the title of this anime should have been "We without direction" as i seriously do not understand what the creators of this anime is trying to put across by complicating the plot to what is actually a simple Story line. This anime is about a boy name Takashi,that due to having been abused,suffers from split personality disorder. Basically,we get to see how the lives of him and two other different charactors created by him,unfolds and how they eventually are linked to one another. Shusuke,who is a poor part time waiter in a restaurant but who is also a freelance writer. Than we have Hayato,a handyman who agrees to help a girl name Naru search for her missing bicycle. Than there are a whole lot of other minor charactors that i shall not mention as i feel that they are one too many in an…

First episode gave me a very disjointed and chaotic image of We, Without Wings, and I almost stopped watching cause of it. First we are introdused to three entirely different groups of people seemingly at random. And the next minute we are in a fantasy world who knows where. I felt overwhelmed. Like the series was trying to cram too much material in to a series.
But I kept watching and everything started to find their places. Character started develop more and everyday stories became interesting including just enough drama and comedy. And the big mystery behind the scenes, how do these different lives connect to one another kept me wondering. The generic fantasy world took backseat and it's genericity became pretty big point in the story. Everything just grew on me and I was enthralled thr…

"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!

This is a anime people will either hate or love. As a precaution, do not watch this thinking it will be ecchi with lots of panties, boobs, etc. Although you'll see some, they aren't the main thing.
Story 9 - I give the story a 9 since it may seem boring at first but later on it gets interesting and there is even a twist that I was not expecting. Not to mention it feels fresh and different. And it also has hilarious moments that had me laughing.
Art - 8 The art is great, its not stunning or anything special but good enough.
Sound - 7 Sound effects are alright and soundtrack mostly fits, not the best nor worst. I really liked the opening and ending themes though, they are a excellent match to the anime.
Character 10 - Character is the best part of this anime. The personalities are wo…

Living a double life is one thing and can be hard enough. But living three lives at once every day? Damn that either takes skill or the person has some serious issues.
Under the Innocent Sky has the story line that lives the lives of three different people and not making any sense between them until a third of the way through the anime. Even then a lot of things are still unexplained. If you can work your mind around the constant ecchi/fan service with copious amounts of added humor, the actual story is hard to piece together of the three main character. Even with all this running in circles the anime does with its story, in the final couple of episodes, it really does do a magnificent job of making sense of everything and why there are three main characters.
Watching through this anime,…

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…

I recommend watching this anime. It wasn't the best anime ive watched but it has an interesting story which i enjoyed. The character development coulda been better but with only 12 episodes it was pretty decent.
Overall score i give it a 7. Woulda gave it a better score but in my opinion i didn't like the ending. If you enjoy animes where you have to pay attention to slight details that forshadows the story with a little comedy here and there, you should watch this one.
