Originally a [[Visual Novel]] by Navel (''[[
▲''[[Oretachi ni Tsubasa wa Nai]]: Under the Innocent Sky'' starts in Yanagihara City, where three stories playing out in parallel. The first is Takashi Haneda, who has to deal with his little sister Kobato and Asuka Watarai, his girlfriend...maybe, all while dreaming of a fantasy land called Gretagard. The second is Shusuke Chitose, a freeter who's pals with Karuo Karube, the bartender at Alexander, a restaurant where he's in an unsteady relationship with a fellow employee, Hiyoko Tamaizumi. The third is Hayato Narita, who's captured the attention of Naru Ootori, younger sister of his acquaintance Kakeru, who's looking for her bike. What do these three have in common? Overseen by the mysterious DJ Condor, a story begins.
▲Originally a [[Visual Novel]] by Navel (''[[Shuffle]]'', ''[[Soul Link]]''), ''Ore-tachi ni Tsubasa wa Nai'' (''We Don't Have Wings''), was adapted into an anime in [[Spring 2011 Anime|spring 2011]].
The anime can be legally viewed at Crunchyroll [http://www.crunchyroll.com/we-without-wings-under-the-innocent-sky here.]
{{tropelist}}
▲* [[Added Alliterative Appeal]]: The official English title is ''We, Without Wings''.
* [[Alice Allusion]]/[[Down the Rabbit Hole]]: The Alice of this series is an [[Elegant Gothic Lolita]] trying to learn Japanese with a [[Token Minority|Token Black]] as her parental figure.
* {{spoiler|[[All Just a Dream]]:}} It is revealed that {{spoiler|the Gretagard sequences}} are this. You could consider the "Castle in the Sky" as one, but there's a special reason why it applies.
Line 24 ⟶ 21:
* [[Ax Crazy]]: Garuda Darkblack, also known as Itami Karura. {{spoiler|He's the fourth personality.}}
* [[Badass Bystander]]: Hayato is this compared to the two groups fighting each other.
* [[Bandage Babe|Bandage Dude]]: Itami wears one {{spoiler|because Kakeru sees Itami as Falcon aka Hayato.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Black Dude Dies First]]: Averted with Martinez, Hayato's friend. He's also not the first person to get shot either, although he's the only one with a serious enough wound to be taken away by an ambulance. He survives the shooting, and can be seen in later episodes doing okay.}}
* [[Book Ends]]: The first [[Bonus Material|omake]] has the main girls in love with the main character, all trying to grab his interest. The ending shows {{spoiler|all of the same girls falling for the Haneda's personalities. It's the exact same animation, but with slightly different dialogue.}}
* [[Cast of Snowflakes]]: There are ''a lot'' of named characters. In fact, the OP shows off every major character.
* [[Catch Phrase]]: ''May peace prevail in the world''. {{spoiler|Turns into a [[Madness Mantra]] when Hayato gets a [[Grand Theft Me]] courtesy of Itami Karura}}.
Line 37 ⟶ 34:
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]: The opening of the visual novel, ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XeK_Y-CGXG8 Jewelry Tears]''
* [[Cute Shotaro Boy]]: {{spoiler|Haneda Youji}}, who Itami Karura addresses as "dad", who has been sitting away from any action for a long time {{spoiler|due to his [[Angst Coma]]}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Dark and Troubled Past]]:}} [[The Reveal]] in Episode 12. This trope ''alone'' is what sets off this episode off from all of the others.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Hayato can only just snark at the [[Fan Service]] unloaded at him.
* [[Defeat Means Friendship]]: When Hayato puts the beat down on Bishop, some of his former gang members decide to help him out finding Naru's missing bike.
Line 46 ⟶ 43:
* [[Elegant Gothic Lolita]]/[[Alice Allusion]]: Alice.
* [[Evil Laugh]]: Itami Karura shares this with Kakeru. "You're the best, ''[[Gratuitous Spanish|amigo.]]''"
* [[Fictional Counterpart]]: ''Wing Quest'' is a fairly obvious pastiche of ''[[Dragon Quest]]''.
** This trope is apparently [[Fridge Brilliance|as accurate as you can get]] when comparing {{spoiler|the dream world and it's real counterpart ''Wing Quest''. All of the dreams are fake, since they were based on the game Haneda played as a child, and translated to one of his personalities.}}
* [[Fish Out of Temporal Water]]: Karura thinking that he can interact with a ''snowman'' promptly beats it up!
Line 54 ⟶ 51:
* [[Genre Busting]]/[[Widget Series]]: It gets hard to classify this after Episode 4. Episode 7 shoves that in a cake and throws it out the window. Episode 12 is completely different from everything else.
* [[Gratuitous English]] <-> [[Gratuitous Japanese]]: One of the rare justifications for both tropes. Alice is trying to learn Japanese, but, as noted by Hayato, her grammar is still off. Over the course of the anime, she improves.
* [[Heroic BSOD]]: Takashi {{spoiler|after finding out that Gretagard doesn't exist. This leads him into an [[Angst Coma]] and it takes Asuka to [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!|beat it out of him.]] [[Crowning Moment of Funny|While the three other personalities]] ''[[Crowning Moment of Funny|including Karura]]'' [[Crowning Moment of Funny|get beaten up!]]}}
{{quote|
* [[Heroic Sociopath]]: Karura
* [[Hot Springs Episode]]: The OVA included with ''Oretsuba R''. The episode is titled "90% Increase in Skin", and they are not kidding.
Line 70 ⟶ 67:
* [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot]]: The [[Bonus Material|omakes]]. They combine several genres together (even though ''all of them'' are [[Fan Service]]), but have no relation to the plot. They could easily be made into their own series. For example, [[108]] [[Hot Teacher|Hot Teachers]] [[Lady of War|fighting off]] against each other using [[Improbable Weapon User|their teaching utensils]] to [[Serious Business|teach a class]]?!
* [[No Social Skills]]: Karura
{{quote|
* [[Bonus Material|Omake]]: The two minutes of pre-credits action is not part of the main story; each one is a completely different genre of anime. That does not mean the omakes [[Rule of Symbolism|aren't important]], since they act as [[Foil|Foils]] to the main story.
* [[Panty Shot]]: [[Male Gaze|It can be distracting at times.]]
* [[Pool Scene]]: [[Captain Obvious|That serves no other purpose other than]] [[Fan Service]].
* [[The Reveal]]: {{spoiler|Gretagard was a place on an old video game named Wing Quest.}}
* [[Rule of Symbolism]]: The use of TVs to change the channel. The constant hints of parallel lives. The numerous allusions to birds.
* [[Serious Business]]: Karura takes stuff way too seriously
* [[Shout-Out]]: DJ Condor: [[Turn
** There seem to be several [[Gundam]] shout-outs throughout the series.
*** Episode 10 had Karuo do a Newtype Flash in the style of UC Gundam as he communicated, (Telepathically) with Eriko, who herself did one in the style of a ''[[After War Gundam X|Gundam X]]'' Newtype.
Line 86 ⟶ 83:
* [[Split Personality]]: {{spoiler|Takashi, Shusuke and Hayato}} are revealed to be the same person. There are also hints of a fourth one as well. Said fourth is crazy.
** The anime {{spoiler|does a fairly decent job hiding this fact. While everyone in the show saw the same person, viewers see what appears to be different characters, which makes sense because each split personality would view themselves differently. There are clues sprinkled throughout the anime that hints at this, such as when Shuusuke gets hit in the back of the head with a chair, and then both Takashi and Hayato have the same exact wounds later on.}}
** [[
** And if the opening is to be believed, {{spoiler|the five personalities}} aren't exactly the only ones who exhibit this trope.
* [[Spoiler Opening]]: Why there are {{spoiler|five}} people shown on the TV sets.
Line 95 ⟶ 92:
* [[Updated Rerelease]]: ''Oretachi ni Tsubasa wa Nai R'', which adds two new routes and a couple new CGs.
* [[X Meets Y]]: [[Gender Bender|Gender bended]] [[Change 123]] with an [[Unwanted Harem]].
** [[Durarara!!]] meets [[Persona 4]]
* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?]]: R2001 of the YFB has ''[[Gratuitous Rap|raps]]'' for his normal speech.
** Throwing cakes ''on the streets!'' Double points for Karura actually declaring that ''it's war!''
