This anime sounded a bit interesting to me so I decided to watch it. It is truly an adorable anime with cuteness for miles on end in each and every episode. I did also quite enjoy the sort of pervy element and everything that came with it. This is a very adorable show that has likable characters, good pacing, humor, and some nice lolis to boot.

This show is definitely a little creepy, but I don't really have a problem like that like everyone else does. I mean, it's fiction right? No one is actually being this creepy, and I don't really think anyone is going to become a pedophile after watching a show like this, so it's ok in my book. If it was real life, I would have a problem with it, but it's not. I've also watched uzamaid, but that show was worse in the pedophile department and I did have a few problems with how the characters acted. That said, I liked that show too, but not as much as this one. This show starts out really creepy (as in lesbian pedophile creepy), but then the more you watch the less creepy and the more wholesome it becomes. It's really cute, one of the more cute moe shows that I've watched, it's decently funny, the animation is surprisingly good, and I really enjoyed it. It's by no means a masterpiece but honestly, for what it's about, this show is actually pretty good.

College student meets and falls in "love" with her younger sister's friend. Okay. So, this was made by the same studio that released UzaMaid a year ago, and it does show. For starters, I don't have much issue with the main plot namely because it's a show. It doesn't mean that it's suggesting that actual cases of pedophilia are funny. The show makes it clear that there is an inherent creepiness towards that concept, and it never gets to the same extent that UzaMaid did when it used Lolita as its main schtick. With that out of the way, what do I think of the show? Let's start with the characters.

Miyako Hoshino is the protagonist of the series. A college student, Miyako is someone who hardly leaves her home due to her ineptitude with socializing. Really, she's almost as bad at it as Tomoko from WataMote, which was actually one of the reasons as to why I was never able to finish that show. It just really made me think about how bad I was (and still kind of am) with being sociable with other people. To describe it, Miyako has anxiety about going out, about interacting with others, has little to no social skills. However, at the same time, Miyako as a character isn't that interesting. She's not really that funny. Even when she starts to squee over Hana, she is restrained with it. She's really the polar opposite of UzaMaid's Tsubame. Even when there are some nuggets of intrigue to her such as her being skilled with making sweets or hand-crafting cosplay outfits, she is otherwise bland.

Hana is the coprotagonist, the eponymous "angel" in the title. Hana is a more stoical girl who quickly picks up on Miyako's creepiness regarding herself, but she goes along with wearing Miyako's cosplay outfits in return for various sweets. Hana serves more as the straight man...well, girl, where she gives the right reactions towards not only Miyako, but Hinata, Noa, and others. The problem with her, however, is that much like Miyako, she can be bland. She's there to be the reluctant modeler. She does mention once that she was an only child, which could potentially lead towards more development into Hana's life to maybe explain why she would come off as cold and abrasive at times.

Hinata, is probably the only truly fascinating character. The younger sister of Miyako, she loves her sister unconditionally whilst not knowing why exactly she does. She is a very energetic fifth grader who provides most of the laughs in the show. Heck, her first appearance sees her galloping towards Miyako's room and jumping on her bed, subsequently waking and frightening her, and then heads to school as if nothing had happened. Hinata comes off as wholly childish with how she misunderstands her sister's interest in Hana, or how she lacks Hana's more mature attributes. My only problem there is she could lean towards being annoying at times, but otherwise, she does pull her own weight.

Noa has only one character trait: she is a narcissist obsessed with being "cute" sometimes to even outdo Hana in terms of cuteness. Honestly out of the main cast, Noa would be the least likable. She's haughty, self-centered, and annoying. Maybe they could have some explanation down the line that would provide insight into Noa's motivations, but I doubt that. She can also be pretty manipulative, having caught Miyako wearing one of her cosplay outfits and then blackmailing her. On the opposite side, she does show some indication that she is developing feelings for Hinata, who often provides her with emotional support, which I actually found pretty cute.

There are a few other characters that I don't really have any feelings on. Mrs. Hoshino is funny, though she doesn't appear too often. Koyori and Kanon are class representatives of the main trio. Koyori reminded me heavily of Satania from Gabriel DropOut (and I was actually informed that Kanon was actually voiced by the actress who played her). Koyori tries to be someone that people could depend on...but she has continuous bad luck, or she needs help herself. Kanon is kind, sweet, and often more lucky than her best friend. Of the two, Kayori is honestly more interesting. They seem to also be developing into a little something more.

Humor wise, the show often misses more than it hits. It's honestly pretty mediocre. Miyako's more restrained in her actions and lacks the over-the-top prowess that Tsubame had. Other potential comedic moments are also underscored because they lack that sting to them. As for music...it's also bland and forgettable. The opening sounds pretty and is genuinely catchy, but in the likes of other slice of life openings such as Yuru Yuri or Uchi No Maid, it comes off as less memorable. The ending theme is also mediocre. As for animation, it's okay. It isn't anything too special.

Overall, WATATEN!: And Angel Flew Down to Me is unfortunately more in the mediocre bin. While some of the characters are interesting, they lack depth or are reduced to one character trait. The humor isn't as biting, and it doesn't push the envelope much like UzaMaid did. It's a show that is better off as white noise.

Geez this animation doesn't have high quality storylines but adorable girls. So just enjoy and forget other complex factors

Everything about this show is super adorable and funny. It warms my heart.

Everything in this show is so adorable and funny. The animation and music heart warming.

Seriously both are effing creepy with older girls forcing themselves onto younger girls. I would too say this regardless of gender or if it is fiction...

I honestly shouldn't have stepped into this pit of mud because it was just rather disturbing, cringy and no joke, I was nearly about to poke in my bin.

Hinata, please get your anti-social creepy sister help and please don't bring Hana over, the little girl is better off being safe then sorry....

This is the best show I have ever seen, I recommend STRONGLY!!!

The storyline is pretty funny. The series centers around an cosplay loving clothing designer aka the older sister of hinata who loves to dress up her freinds after school. Her designer talents and her passion can be seen throughout the series even working overnight for a finished outfit. It shows the dedication Miyako has for creating great outfits. Many of the people do not point out there is nothing like the series out there you can watch. The music used in the series is pretty interesting as well. nothing seems to be out of place. a solid build for a series compareing the storyline with the competiton out there the series do not get positive attention in the west. given the fact that anime itself is supposed to be cute and funny this is just one of those series that should have a 10/10 review.

Anyone can judge but western ethical bias should not be placed on a series with no english dub.

The series also has a potential for another season with 1 problem having to deal with how it will play out in season 2 without being too similar to the first season. Creativity may somehow bring a solid 2nd season if it comes out ina few years. Most series will have issues of bringing the quality of the first season with the expectation of being diffrent. I expect to see a great outcome when 2nd season comes out.

I loved this show it was packed with laughs, great storyline and finally some attention on the concept of "girls love" witch really has not been represented fairly or equally in recent years. This show Hope's to change that, a light comedic yuri that really aims to change the stakes! This show has got alot of hate but as a LONG time anime fan I can certainly say it is incredibly undeserving. Let's get real for a sec, Most anime centers around highschool/under age children. Literally 99% of it. Anime in general has tons of fanservice with what can be seen as creepy considering it's almost always centered around kids? So why did people have such a problem when it came to this show? Because it is between girls. No one blinked in eye when monogatari did it. That in itself is a begs a huge question with how lgbt women are perceived in our society..anyway I love this show & couldn't reccomend it more.

Still fine over all when it comes to my own opinion. The girl's drama on eps 12 is the best part of this anime. I guess season 2 is highly recommended.
