| Aniplex launches an original project "So・Ra・No・Wo・To". Sorawoto official website The original character designer is Kishida Meru (PS3 game "Atelier Rorona"). Judging from the names of the copyright holders "Paradores・ Aniplex/ 1121st Platoon", it's about a Spanish military band. The detail will be announced at Dengeki Character Festival 2009 to be held on October 3rd and 4th. Update TV series to be aired from January 2010. Trailer Synopsis: The story takes place in an imaginary town Seize (the model cities are Cuenca and Alarcón Fortress in Spain). A long war brings a gradual decline to the world. People disappear from the town and fishes cease to exist in the sea. In the quiet world, five girls guard a fortress and play brass vividly.

| looks interesting |
    |
| A Spanish military band? It does sound interesting. I might be looking forward to it somehow. |
  |
| Say what. A Spanish military band? I don't know what to say. |
| Una banda militare espanola???? Dios mio. |
 |
| Anything that comes out of Aniplex is basically to be taken into consideration, and this project seems interesting too. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| I'd prefer an anime about the paraguayan armed forces, but oh well... |
| Excellent. Excellent! Although they did wimp out by making the heroine a trumpeter. A Trombonista, that's where you're at ;) |

| Wow, sounds very original. Its nice to see some new ideas coming out of the anime industry, especially compared to hollywood. |
| oh my god... |

chinlamp said: Most likely if there will be lyrics, most of them will be Japanese or at least partly Japanese. Perhaps they should take an example like Lilium from Elfen Lied or the Umineko opening... Anyhow, seems interesting. As long as it won't turn out to be some kind of K-on in the military. I'm going to die that way.Damn, this sounds like it could be worth seeing. I love it when they branch out and do other cultures in anime. Only problem is that when they do this 'Spanish' band, will it still be in Japanese? Cos that kinda seems like it defeats the purpose... |

| At least it's different ...... |

| Art is okay that's the only thing I can see anyway. |
| WTF!?! Spanish military band.With the lack of music animes I will definitely take a look at it. |
 |
| Looks interesting. But Wtf with this unreadable title ? |
| Suena interesante. |
 |
| Not interested but.. I will wait to see the cast of seiyuu and also the synopsis. |
 |
| If it's Spanish we can do it better. /nationalism |
 Waratte Oemashou Sore ha Chiisana Inori |

They play songs like this. And this.. And this. Hopefully. Although if it's Spanish, they might probably end up playing pasodobles instead. Mm, not too bad I suppose. |

| Hm, more from Yuuki Aoi. I quite liked her as Murasaki. A lot of potential. |
| Seems somewhat interesting. |
| Kitamura Eri will be one of the lead seiyuu sounds nice.. A-1 Pictures seem to not made that many animes. Its amazing to hear that the maker of Persona -trinity soul- will be working on a new project though.^^ |
|
| Kobayashi Yuu ftfw. Added characters, character pictures, seiyuu, and translated biographies from the site. |

What's wrong with a real Military Band for once? And the names! Q.Q |

| "K-ON! : At war" uh? |
 |
Dust2Dust said: "K-ON! : At war" uh? My thoughts exactly. |
| The actually drawing is K-on style, I think its drawn by the same dude Main girl  Short Trailer here: http://www.sorawoto.com/theater/theater01.html |

|
| It really looks like K-on art desine ^^ Can't wait for this to show up *-* I hope it's gonna be a good anime !! |

Deeply admires = ripped off in this case. Seriously, those character designs are shameless K-On knockoffs. It sounds like a neat plot and all, but does it REALLY need the moé? |

If it wants to sell DVDs, then yes. I'm not worried though. Character designs aside, this sounds nothing like a K-ON knockoff. |
| My first novel, Kardia has been published! Click here to read! |
| I think this will be only currently airing anime I'll watch this year.It looks like K-ON(pure win XD) and the story looks like some drama anime(even more win ♥). I hope I won't be disappointed. |
     tnx to raylu for this set ^^ |
| Well the art style is really as K-On's, but it's not a problem, I think. Seems pretty cute to me and even Kalafina'll do the theme song, so I'll definitely watch this. I hope it'll make a bigger impression than K-On did however I liked that one too. |
