History VisualNovel / OretachiNiTsubasaWaNai

* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: The [[BonusMaterial omakes]]. They combine several genres together (even though ''all of them'' are {{Fanservice}}), but have no relation to the plot. They could easily be made into their own series. For example, OneHundredEight {{Hot Teacher}}s [[LadyOfWar fighting off]] against each other using [[ImprobableWeaponUser their teaching utensils]] to [[SeriousBusiness teach a class]]?!

* PoolScene: [[CaptainObvious That serves no other purpose other than]] {{Fanservice}}.

* HeroicBSOD: Takashi [[spoiler: after finding out that Gretagard doesn't exist. This leads him into an AngstComa and it takes Asuka to [[GetAHoldOfYourselfMan beat it out of him.]] [[CrowningMomentOfFunny While the three other personalities]] ''[[CrowningMomentOfFunny including Karura]]'' [[CrowningMomentOfFunny get beaten up!]]]]

--> [[CrowningMomentOfFunny '''I WISH TO EJACULATE!!!''']]

* FictionalCounterpart: ''Wing Quest'' is a fairly obvious pastiche of ''DragonQuest''.

* TheChewToy: Despite being the {{Badass}} of [[spoiler:the three personalities]], something always happens to Hayato.

''OretachiNiTsubasaWaNai: 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 VisualNovel by Navel (''{{SHUFFLE}}'', ''SoulLink''), ''Ore-tachi ni Tsubasa wa Nai'' (''We Don't Have Wings''), was adapted into an anime in [[Spring2011Anime spring 2011]].

** The training manual in Episode 3 looks so much like a Master Card Priceless ad

** The use of televisions appears inspired by {{Persona 4}}.

-->''[[ThemeNaming Hawk, falcon, eagle, and...]]''\\

''[[TitleDrop about those with flightless wings...]]''

** Before going MotorMouth, Miyako is a lot more like [[HaruhiSuzumiya Yuki Nagato]].

* AllJustADream:]] 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]].

* HotterAndSexier: Let's just say without that CensorSteam in episode 8, they pulled off a ''YosugaNoSora'' on us. ''[[ActorAllusion With the same seiyuu]] [[HiroShimono to boot!]]''

* [[spoiler:AllJustADream:]] 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.

* [[spoiler:BlackDudeDiesFirst: 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.]]

* [[spoiler:DarkAndTroubledPast:]] TheReveal in Episode 12. This trope ''alone'' is what sets off this episode off from all of the others.

* [[spoiler:EarnYourHappyEnding:]] And how. The first few episodes seem disjointed and confusing, but if you can manage to get through them, it starts to make sense.

* XMeetsY: [[GenderBender Gender bended]] {{Change123}} with an UnwantedHarem.
** {{Durarara}} meets {{Persona 4}}
* WhiteHairedPrettyBoy: In the opening, you see one guy named Itami Karura in the TV sets while Kobato is looking for someone. [[{{Foreshadowing}} He's designated as #2.]]

* CensorBox: Done as a "'Caution!"' tape rolling across the screen to cover up everything most[[hottip:*:read as 70-80 percent]] of the time.

* CastOfSnowflakes: There are ''a lot'' of named characters. In fact, the OP shows off every major character.

** There seem to be several {{Gundam}} shout-outs throughout the series.

The anime can be legally viewed at Crunchyroll [[http://www.crunchyroll.com/we-without-wings-under-the-innocent-sky here.]]

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: [[PlayedForLaughs Played for]] ''[[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotAwesome ridiculously awesome]]'' [[PlayedForLaughs laughs]] when we are are shown Shuusuke's wound being taken care of by Hiyoko. We are only shown a small area, and ''every time'' she's healing his wound, the anime focuses on it with a special animation and a subtitle declaring '''[[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial This may or may not be a wound.]]''' and Shuusuke blushing and groaning as if ''he was having sex''.

* MsFanservice: InSeriesNickname for Hiyoko in the [[BonusMaterial Omake]] in the beginning episode 7, since she had the most panty shots.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotAwesome: R2001 of the YFB has ''[[GratuitousRap raps]]'' for his normal speech.
** Throwing cakes ''on the streets!'' Double points for Karura actually declaring that ''it's war!''
** Explaining what an ''Imouto Moe'' is has never been as SeriousBusiness as this.

* HeroicSociopath: Karura

* ArtShift: Occasionally, episodes will transition to a different art style than the one shown, most often a still of the background in DeliberatelyMonochrome. Episode 12 runs with this, but [[spoiler:applies HighOctaneNightmareFuel to ''crayon'' drawings.]]

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: The opening of the visual novel, ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XeK_Y-CGXG8 Jewelry Tears]]''
* CuteShotaroBoy: [[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 AngstComa]].

* HoYay: Martinez seems to imply interest in Hayato, which hilariously causes Naru to get [[ClingyJealousGirl jealous.]]

* MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext: Episode 7. [[BeyondTheImpossible No, really]].

* ShoutOut: DJ Condor: [[TurnAGundam UNIVERRRRRRRRS-*cut off*]]

*** 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 GundamX Newtype.
*** Episode 11 has what can be seen as a [[GGundam Love-Love]] ColonyDrop.

* GenreBuster[=/=]WidgetSeries: 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.
