      There ARE guns, to be exact, rifles. (Or shotguns idk anymore.)

      They have 30 second previews on the official HP and the TV Tokyo site.

          I wasn’t expecting a haunted house/ghost episode so quickly though (or more like I didn’t know what to expect, but whatever). :’D

          Still absolutely lazy to type up a post about it, but random note: Kanata’s instrument is a type of bugle (I assume used in the military) called 信号ラッパ, which I can find nothing on in English (easily, anyway). I best translated that as a “Signal Horn” and I heard ラッパ (rappa) being said throughout the show. I assume that RAPPA is a Chinese word, because howeveryouspellthatinpinyin means a musical…horn. Of course in English, it’s best translated to “trumpeting.”
          So yeah, just wanted to get some useless information out that Kanata’s instrument is not a trumpet. o3o

          oh, okay :3

          lol, I really thought it was a trumpet because I lack musical knowledge and just went for the common term xD

    Clumsy moeblob female lead = check
    Music instrument = check
    Mio = check; Mio’s boobs = check check
    Tsumugi MILF a couple of years after = check

    Yay for moe being more natural. That’s why I didn’t mind watching it twice (for subs). |D

    Hmm, I have to agree. The scenery part I liked best was the sunrise when Mio was playing her own trumpet for Kanata. That was just cool.

    ZOMGYES, FRENCH!! 8DD

    And apparently, from what I’ve read somewhere, their music is supposed to reach out to fish or something (I dunno) but so far, it’s decent. Hope next episode is good.

    P.S. Welcome back~ <3

      LOL I was thinking the same thing!

      The character designs are I swear from the same artist, but Sora no Woto and K-On have different artists listed for each. :ehh:

    I agree, the moe is natural in this show and it has more substance. I hope it won’t be very moe-heavy and just focus more on the plot because it shows promise.

    Mio-Rio reference was lmfao. I think im starting to like the tsundere mio rio.

    mugi seemed the same as the captain or whatever (same seiyuu question mark)

    white hair tank girl seemed like Azusa and Yuki (TMHS) combined.

    the haruhi girl was totally unappealing and unoriginal, but I agree with the expectations of at least maybe a poorly drawn m16 rifle?

    i was expecting a war or something.

    *thoughts while watching*: “Okay, so there’s Mugi… there’s Mio… what is Nagato Yuki doing here?”

    Lolololol Sora No Woto, you are a bit(?) similar to K-ON, aside from your art.

    But honestly, I’m liking this a lot more than K-ON. Breathtaking scenery, a lot more mature-looking characters, naturalized moe (yay)and guns. Definitely guns.

    Thé artwork during the “legend” story, as was Elfen Lied’s OP & ED, is freely inspires by austrian artist Gustav Klimt, though in this épisode I could only see the “Beethoven’s Frieze” as a basis, very well used just like thé french insert song (meh I’m french and lyrics are real and somehow mystic)

    This new series has a good feel to it. The awesome artwork gives it a great atmosphere ( and it’s an ‘italian’ town, not spanish, look at the bell tower, thats a typical italian thing 😉 ). The characters are pretty moe ( yes, K-ON 2 ) and in soldier uniforms to boot! kind of my fetish here..now some guns. >:)

    Finally there are some older characters in a show! I’m tired of always watching shows with little teenagers ( which are cute, though ) but seem to lack a certain matureness i really like to see. ( since im a bit older myself ) More older girls are pro! Not all people who love anime are lolicons, grin.

    It does not have any real story for now, but i don’t really mind if it’s a slice of life kinda thing, without a real plot. It’s a joy just to watch the great animation and the lazy/slow feel it has. It does not have to be action packed or anything, but i would like to see a scene with guns blazing, especially Rio-Mio..eh?..huhu. Sigh, we need more military-based shows..Moe/Real, i don’t care!

    BTW, the OP and ED are indeed great! The songs are quite nice too, mysterious and sacred, but strangly enough i got kinda hooked to the upbeat song by Girls be ambitious. What also amazed me was the animation and the sync with the music of the ED, which was impeccable. The facial expressions of Yui-Kana are very good, very nicely done indeed. Techniques are really improving! Let’s hope it keeps delivering moe and lazy goodness… 😉

      ( and it’s an ‘italian’ town, not spanish, look at the bell tower, thats a typical italian thing 😉 )

      Its based on a town from Spain called Cuenca. They collaborated with a spanish company called ‘paradores’ to make those backgrounds ^^ (I went to Cuenca twice, and its exactly the same as it shows in the anime o-O! ) Also my grandma has a bathroom like that in her town house.

      Yep I agree, we need more military-based shows!! <3

        Really? Didn’t know that. I need to visit that town then!
        It really looked italian.. oh well, everyone makes mistakes now and then. no harm done and i learned something new 😀

        Seems that they don’t know what the real origins of that tower are, lol. And yes, it completely looks the same, just as the hanging houses. I love that town already.

    I watch some episodes about Sora no woto. I like the story and I love the city. This city is in Spain. It is called Cuenca. It is in the centre of the country.

    If you like, I can send you some photos about Cuenca. You can recongnize the settings.

    In each photo which will be send you, I would really like to describe, if you like, some history of the place:street, square, bridge, etc.
