Polaryzed on Sora no Otoshimono

Josh is staging a comeback that includes his newly minted co-writer, Polaryzed, producing cutesy first impressions going like this:

Now this series threw me for a loop. I came into it knowing that it’d be a fan service comedy. The premise/synopsis from ANN made it sound very similar to To Love-Ru. I enjoyed watching that show, in a mindless zombie way, and I’m never one to shy away from fan service, so I gave this a try. After two episodes, I’m VERY surprised by this show. The production quality is much higher than I expected, and it was REALLY FUNNY.

Ah, the pleasant surprise, hidden gem, unexpected Rocket Girls of the season (Nodame was an off-season surprise for me). Don't we all love this? I remember watching a random episode of Naruto because my daughter torrented it, and thinking: "hmm, this is really good, it was supposed to be yet another clone of DBZ but it's much better...".

Unfortunately, the inclination to universalize personal projections mars the rest of the post. The strategically placed "IMO" (without 'H') is supposed to help, but I'm not sure it does. I myself was vastly uneducated when I was a teenager, and I wasn't interested in groping anyone. I'm quite certain that the necessary reflexes and neural pathways are established with training. So, I consider it quite believable that what we see is actually what creators think or recall of their own youth (even if ostensibly they work for the audience, not themselves).
