----------------------------------------
Usually after a few episodes I find myself skipping past the OP but I just can't seem to do it for this show. The music is so nice and calming, it sets the mood nicely for the episodes.

Jun was extremely enthusiastic this episode. The flying squirrel getup in the end was a little overboard though.

I know right? Kenji Kawai is such a great composer

Although I have to say this episode wasn't as good as the previous one.

The flying squirrel man was a manifestation of Jun's strong pride in his accomplishment. He's just a kid after all.

I like how the crows were depicted in this episode. The scene in which the kids discussed the resourcefulness and toughness of the crows in having to build the nest out of coat hangars seemed to emphasize that the crows shouldn't be considered bad. Sure, they attacked Donguri, but, like any other creature, they just want to survive. Perhaps they intended to salvage through the trash bags and the squirrel was in their way?

In a similar sense, the wind can be useful, but it can also be dangerous and even deadly, as seen in episode 2. Like the crows, the wind is neither nor bad; it just exists.

How did that poor squirrel end up in the trash? His owner throw him away?

The music in this show is really nice.

This episode was a little more interesting than the previous ones.

That flying squirrel may end up remembering Jun.

Flying squirrel episode. There really is no shortage of good literal windy tales here, well, so far at least.

I liked how this episode went by, the teaching was nice and everything played out as you would imagine an anime like so should do.

Looking forward to more.

Alright ep, wasn't officially interesting to me.

I'm unsure what this one's underlying wind theme is.
