I agree, however, Luka is more of an "older sister" type which symbolizes dominance although BitchMaster doesn't seem to know who that character is. |

| Just so everyone knows, ANN just posted a review of the first four episodes of So-Ra-No-Wo-To (apparently called "Sounds of the Skies." Seriously wished someone would've told me sooner that there was a literal translation to the title). And it was exactly what I thought.... "moe in military uniforms." Seriously though. Yes, obviously by looking at the character designs and personalities, it's something that anime fans who know and appreciate moe don't mind and that causal viewers may wonder "okay it's... soothing, but is there a point?" Though I like how this show doesn't seem to imply, "sorry ordinary people, the moe here is our biggest selling point. Don't like it, well then you just don't get it." It feels as if I don't have to force my brain to grasp what is the specific appeal in this anime in order to like it, unlike other anime shows. |

| Summary of 4 episodes: BORING. I can see some people is holding the argument of 'this is slice of life genre lol so it is not for any lol'. This anime is no where near Haibane Renmei or Mushishi. Slice of life should not make us boring; they have to be revolving around the original story and interesting development on each episode as a whole. This? Military girls who masters dumb dumb trumpet for just talking with big glass guy for 10 seconds? Is that what we call 'interesting development'?. I mean, what the hell are you doing aniplex. This show is pretty obvious that has taken so much funding. High budget background quality, moe look alikes, Kanata Yui ripping, quality music, decent seiyuus doesn't matter. Plot is so monotonous and there is nothing interesting going on yet. There are so much other beautiful animes that manage to keep up with great plot from the start to the end, without high production quality. Producers practically 'failed' to produce the dark and bitter-sweat mood what they seem to be intended when they started this project. Kanata and silence moe does babblings. Suddenly, boy comes and say, 'I HAT U!! U KILLED MY PARENTS!! GO TO HELL!!' then runs away. I mean, what are they doing? What the hell is the point of watching this? When I say 'point', most of the anime has its messages, or at least a purpose. Even lucky star has a purpose of promoting loli services and the strength of comedic parody. This anime? Is it trying to say sorrowfulness of the war?', Is it promoting moe? Multicultural whatever things? This is why plot's going no-where. Failure to find the key concept that keeps the animes in the right position. Character is nothing interesting but stereotypical. Story is dull. Pacing is slow. Atmosphere and mood is just blending everything horribly. I'm going to watch it till the end, just to see how this monotonous plot goes far. |

| Another great episode!! I was hoping she was gonna play amazing grace, but I'm sure they're saving that for later. It was still epic though. I'm starting to like Noel more, and her development was nice. I wonder how she was "betrayed"? Urahara Out!! |

noteDhero said: I've been involved with various forms of music ensembles in my long life, from high school bands to drum corps. I understand the problem that Kanata was having with regards to her playing her bugle. I've seen it myself. She was trying way to hard to play that it had a negative effect on her embouchure and playing technique. BTW, playing a bugle is no harder than a trumpet, sans the valves (I've done both...no difference except for lack of back pressure from bugles).Jacut said: I've been bored in my life, but rarely as much as watching an episode of Sora no Woto. It just doesn't make sense to me how Aniplex/A1 could make such an anime, with great production values and high budget and just forget to make a plot or interesting development and characters. The show won't sell abroad (probably won't even be licensed) and will probably not sell well domestically, so I we can't really say they did it for money either. A true mystery to me. All the other recent great slice of life shows like Kino no Tabi, Haibane Renmei or Mushishi have something special about their characters and a truly unique plot and atmosphere. Sora no Woto is just... dull and slow. Marry me. Anyways...I really tried not to let the way music is approached in the show bother me, but this episode just kind of sent me over the top. Instead of seeing her develop into a good bugle player (which is much harder to master than the trumpet), she gets a speech from a glass artisan and then magically plays competently. I already loathed the fact that she has perfect pitch, yet little to no concept of music/how to play her instrument, but I was willing to let all of that go if they could succeed where K-On disastrously failed and bother to actually develop one of the core elements of the show besides moe. Oh well. I was wrong. As the instructors I've been involved with if you play tense your tone will be bad and will notes will crack. I was taught to play relax, especially in the face and shoulder area. In the speech Kanata was given the glass meister said the exact same thing, just relax. Don't be tight. You do that the notes will come out. Now combine this with her perfect pitch we saw that she can play as it should. |
| What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about? |
| Is it just me, or does Noel remind anyone else of Yuki from Haruhi? Also, Noel said "Back when life still existed in the sea." o_O Does that mean the ocean doesn't have any fish in it? I don't quite understand that considering they had little crabs and fish on a plate in episode 3. Maybe I understood it wrong. |
 |
| The plot is starting to move slowly, but I liked this pace of this series. It was beautiful, enjoyable episode. I strongly think the setting is certainly post-apocalyptic, but it is not dark and serious. |
manchester said: So you're indifferent.I'm somewhere in between loving and hating this show. Anyways, the post-apocalyptic thing seems rather odd for a show like this. But I would really like to complain about the cliff with the box-like rocks and stuff. "There is no such thing as right angles in nature... except for salt." |

| Meh, nothing really happened worth mentioning in this episode, pretty boring. It was nice to hear that trumpet solo though. |
| Probably the best episode so far. I hope I like the upcomming episodes even better. |
| I actually liked this episode. I don't see why it bothers people that Kanata was able to play the bugle well in this episode. She has been practicing ever since she got to the base. |
 |
| So perfect pitch is the key to making military-grade optical lenses? Sure, I'll bite. I like post-apocalyptic stories that don't use info-dump exposition at the beginning of the story to tell you how and why the world got to be the way it is. Sora no Woto is revealing small bits of information here and there, and that's the way it should be. |
| She somehow got a million times better. LOL |
 |
| Wow, I guess the talent just sprung out of her. Screw training, all you need is talent. Wish for talent for your dreams to come trueee!!!!! |
