They don't need the whole damn platoon to watch one injured girl. Aisha has probably been in the hands of Kanata and co. for at least several days. They could've increased patrols and possibly could've spotted the Romans before the 9th division even arrived.

I don't care if she wanted to amend her sins or not. This cliffhanger is as cliched as it gets. If nobody dies, it just proves it even more so. The two of them are surrounded. Someone HAS to get shot at least unless some retarded deus ex machina so calls forth some ridiculous miracle that somehow distracts the solders.

Kanata - a soldier who never before seen a single enemy...
"We are soldiers." - Wow, Kureha sounds suprisingly reasonable.
It's one of those rare times when i'm glad to know a bit of German. ^^
Helvetian, Roman-wtf?? And Filicia talking to A'ishah=WIN. ^^
"-She must be saying it's good" - Yep, that's right, Kanata. xD
"Just a light greeting" - Yeah, Yumina perfectly lies.
Plot will be continuing in next episode, unbelivable.
And Noel's story seems interesting.

Pretty good episode...

Aisha called Yumina heretic so war may be in some part a religious war.
That is interesting assumption....but is the war more into the non agreement of the borders and reconstruction.

What the heck is deus ex? Seen it used around the net but have no idea what it means. You don't care if she wants to amend her sins? From the looks of her she clearly is brain traumatized about Aisha and seeing her in the past lying with blood dripping out of her mouth. I do feel sorry for Noel that she has some trauma like that. If saving Aisha can help that then I am for it.

This show kinda pisses me off at times. Like I find the slice of life and their hilarious antics entertaining but for some reason I want to see more of the military background and the history of the world they live in. It seems that each episode they piece more and more together however I felt it wasn't enough...it's a shame there's only one more episode, if this was a 24 episode show they could have gone a lot further in the history and plot behind it.

Perplex said:

War drama build up started ages ago. And despite some unnecessary slice of life, especially in episode 8, there was a generally story build up through the whole series.


If by build up you mean one Felicia flashback that is almost totally detached from everything, Rio randomly leaving last week, and the cryptic phone call during Kanata's pee pee episode, then sure, it's been building up for a long time.

Exactly. When Yumina said that the girl was talking about how everything about the end of the world etc. is completely different from what they know I just thought, "Sure. Why not try to be high brow and tackle how history is twisted by politics while also undermining the one thing that the show did right from a narrative perspective. Oh well, let's see where this garbage goes."

I'm quite surprised (and a little aghas) that someone would compare this trash to Haibane Renmei, but maybe it's to be expected. There isn't a single good character or plot point about this show, and I think everyone made it clear what/who it was going for with the random boob grab and titty sucking talk.

The show is disgustingly pandering, and that people honestly don't notice it astounds me.

I find it funny how this show is too "moe tainted" for you, yet you have Higurashi and Bakemonogatari, who both have plenty of moe, in your favourites. Not bashing the the shows though since I love them both aswell.
You compared both of that to this and still don't get the difference? This... has the character designs of K-ON! and that's a major difference. Especially the changing tides of moods.

It'll drop when the series is over. However, if Saten does own a few bitches with that bat, it should help the score. Ain't gonna happen though.

The story is all over the goddamn place. The director tries way too hard to put moe in the mix of things and stall it for that matter. The ending has got to really spectacular to balance out all the bullshit in this series.

An Amazing Grace Remix should fix that.

My defense on previous post is already done by noteDhero and Maximatum.

I don't even want to argue more on this unintelligent show.

I mean seriously, until the previous episode, there was only a senseless 'lol clues' of war which is forced and makes absolutely no sense. You guys call that 'war drama build up'? Chiaki sama laugh at this.

Totally agree.

Haibane renmei kept its mystery and claming-bittersweet mood from the start to the end, with very clever way without moe taint hole that disconnects the well going theme. Cause and effect relationship in sora whatever doesn't make fuckin sense.

I did not expect something like clever Baccano level connection for this anime. I just want sense. This garbage doesn't have it.

While this is definitely nothing ilke Baccano, or complete moe/funny factor K-On, this anime does have its potential. I really like the background story (the first ep got me hooked...or rather, the remains of that giant beast/angel thing got me intrigued)
And after ~10 episodes, I finally got what I wanted - an actually war-related episode! And finally a flashback of that huge beast remains!

I'm curious how they are gonna end this. My opinion on this anime is quite biased though, since I love the OP song to death (kalafina <3)
Sigh, this anime is ending soon, so is Railgun (I want to see Saten-san bash that psycho bitch but that's only wishful thinking...)

There's only Durarara(<333) left...

noteDhero,
I'm very surprised that for someone that doesn't like the show and calls it trash all the time you actually still watch it...
This show has many similarities wit HR and DC...Why? Well because there are always two girls who are the main protagonists and one is a gentile girl (Yasako) and the other brave girl (Isako)... The one is cheerful and the other one burdened with a terrible past...
Now ( and I guaranty this to you) if you just stop watching "this trash" you won't feel so annoyed by it... And we won’t feel so annoyed by you’re constant bitching…

RinM,
Part of your gripes are addressed in this post I made over a year ago.

As for your defense of the comparisons between Haibane Renmei and DC (what is this? I don't feel like searching back to figure it out) I just disagree. So what if the main characters are similar (and honestly, I don't think I can even agree with that, but then it's been 3 years), the shows are almost totally different in every other aspect. The biggest difference is tone. Despite all the cheeriness that went on during HR, there was always an edge of darkness that was evident in every aspect of production. There were secrets lending mystery to the wall and the forest, the pallet of the show was a somber brown with black, and those last few episodes were full of atmosphere that Sora no Woto tries for only a tenth of to sucker in viewers. If you want to call the leads similar, fine, I can't argue there because I don't remember. But trying to link the shows because of two characters is off base to me. I still think that of every show I've seen, SnW is most similar to K-On, but I'll also admit that depending on what happens, that might not be such a case. I suppose I could compare this to Munto TV also...

well there was some forshadowing (the peace talk, Rio), the last two episodes showed us the conflict getting started and in the next (last?) one we will see it climaxing.

As far as I can see Sora no Woto is/was a fairly decent show, which had its ups and downs. (and to prevent misunderstandings here: Konata wetting herself in a used Pretty Cure costum was undisputable on the "down"-side)

What a powerful episode compared to the others. I really cannot say more than what was already said, this forum filled up fast, but I was watching this anime because based upon the genres I like, there was nothing really for me to watch this season, and this anime turned from a slice of girls life-ish to something more serious in just those 20 minutes. Cliffhanger too. Totally wonder what's going to happen next. If Noel got hurt I'm gonna set something on fire

It might be Dennou Coil. If it is, then I'd have to utterly disagree there also, but at least I see the pattern he's trying to draw with the characters.

The thing is though...when the characters aren't even bothered to know what's going on with the peace talks, why should I even care? Some villager asked a question a while ago, and Kanata didn't know, but that's no surprise here, she's a dipshit. Kureha didn't know, and even Mugi seemed to be a little wish-washy on the details if I remember correctly. Sure, I thought, "well, they're clearly trying to drop a hint," but it failed because no one cared and it's their job to care.

The writers just don't know what they're doing. Like I said, nothing feels fresh about the show, and the one solid thing they did that held my attention for more than a minute (maiden's of fire) is currently being called into question.

No, I don't care if the character designs are from K-ON! it's just the magnitude of moe to fit the themes involved with the characters. The argument of "moe is moe" is flawed. In Higurashi, the deception and sanity twists of personality works well, especially for the calm before the storm.

When I meant "tides of moods" I meant it metaphorically to the plot.

FWIW, after the episode in which Kanata had to go pee really, really badly, I lowered my score by 1. That was the second episode in a row that I felt was a waste. If the home stretch fulfills the promise of this episode, then I'll vote upward.

So many of these short series waste episodes that they can't afford to spare.

I guess there was some misunderstandings. I do not hate moe, actually most of the time I love it; only real moe anime I hated is K-On. But in this anime, it just doesn't fit. That's why I used the word 'tainted', not saying it is 'bad'. The flow of this anime is completely ruined by frequent use of very unnecessary pointless fan-services.

I'll agree about the mood swings and parts which are totally unecessary (Kanata wetting herself, Felicia's boob talk come to mind) and I absolutely hate how the ED ruins the mood after the more serious episodes.
I agree this though. I mean seriously; K-On drawing, pee jokes, pantsu shots and now, we have boob grabs and dirty yuri talk, yet people are still debating about this anime being similar to Haibane.

Well, this is where it boils down to opinion I guess. I'm personally not bothered by the mix of moe and war, and if you can't get over that it's probably hard to enjoy the show.

Woah, more actual plot. :o

Poor Noel-chan. I'm pretty sure she was manipulated into creating something that would kill all those Romans. I wasn't surprised that Felicia decided to hide Aisha. I wonder who got shot at the end of the episode?

So are we gonna have a full battle within the next few episodes? I do hope so.

Also, was Aisha speaking German?

I knew Caulder would appear eventually.

This means in the next episode Filicia will take command and the enemy commander will be a loli. Fortunately, the Great Owl will only target one area at this point. But since there are only 2 episodes left things will have to be rushed a bit. Hopefully, "Sweet corn casserole! They have freakin' ROCKETS! Permission to engage, sir!" will make it in.

This also confirms Kanata x Noel ending.

How am I going to take this show seriously when it's so quick to use fanservice?

Fuck this show.

The dirty talk was understandable, but the random boob grab was kinda eh.

Also, I honestly don't care if everything stopped making sense after "YOU HERETIC, END OF THE WORLD ANGEL DOESN'T EXIST!". It was entertaining.

-edit-

Worst use of an ED song since Clannad After Story episode 16.

Also, was Aisha speaking German?
It was Germanic, that's for sure. I couldn't tell if it was 100% German. When I was thinking Roman either Latin or Italian immediately came to mind, UNLESS they were referring to the area the original Holy Roman Empire covered. Map of HRE:

Thus speaking German wouldn't be unfounded.

Now as for Helvatia, the only thing I thought of was the font. Otherwise Helvatia is the female personifcation of Switzerland (much like Uncle Sam is to the US). Even the Swiss could speak German in it's nothern borders.
What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about?

Well to A-1 Pictures' defense, at least when Noel groped that roman soldier's breasts, there wasn't any jiggly/bubbly sound effect that you would usually here whenever any breast scene is mentioned as a way to cue the "perverted moment." Not that you have to agree with me on that, but I just figured mentioning that would soften the blow of the fanservice thing. And I normally don't defend fanservice either *laughes*, though Sora no Woto surprisingly uses minimal and is subtle when using it.

Also I'm just curious about everyone having a beef with the show for probably "milking" the plot. I'm not here to knock anybody off for thinking that or anything, but I do wonder if expecting steady plot development has anything to do with watching the show on a weekly basis and not knowing how exactly the show is going to end. Or that maybe we didn't have any vague understanding of the plot to begin with and that many are frusturated watching this show week-by-week, not even having an idea as to where it could go (I know that at least bothered me a bit)? I mean I don't really know, I'm just wondering.

Just when I thought this show was going nowhere, they throw this at us. Damn, they sure know how to keep you interested.

A plot-heavy episode that makes this show a bit more serious again. It seems that orthodoxes and catholics have different interpretation concerning the giant "bird" that "brought apocalypse". I wonder if that thing is some kind of alien or biologic weapon.

Seeing a nice girl like Felicia talking dirty to test that Roman soldier's reaction was quite funny. Speaking of which, why does an seemingly Indian girl from Rome speak German? Oh well, I give up, this is Sora no Woto after all.

Here's hoping we get to see some WAR next time.

RinM,
Part of your gripes are addressed in this post I made over a year ago.

As for your defense of the comparisons between Haibane Renmei and DC (what is this? I don't feel like searching back to figure it out) I just disagree. So what if the main characters are similar (and honestly, I don't think I can even agree with that, but then it's been 3 years), the shows are almost totally different in every other aspect. The biggest difference is tone. Despite all the cheeriness that went on during HR, there was always an edge of darkness that was evident in every aspect of production. There were secrets lending mystery to the wall and the forest, the pallet of the show was a somber brown with black, and those last few episodes were full of atmosphere that Sora no Woto tries for only a tenth of to sucker in viewers. If you want to call the leads similar, fine, I can't argue there because I don't remember. But trying to link the shows because of two characters is off base to me. I still think that of every show I've seen, SnW is most similar to K-On, but I'll also admit that depending on what happens, that might not be such a case. I suppose I could compare this to Munto TV also...


Ah you got a point in some of those, but then again you are a hypocrite since you stated that you don't get why people can't be civilized and then again you aren't either...I personally don't really care if you don't like the show...but it is extremely annoying when you call some anime trash just because you don't like it or don't understand it...It is true that So ra No is a show that could be carried out much, much, much beater but than again compared to what we had the last couple of season I would say that it's one of the beater ones...

Now as for comparison I did mean Dennou Coil...And if you thought I was referring that HR, DC and So ra no are of equal quality, than you are wrong... You might say Haibane was always dark and it certainly is darker then DC or SRNWT but all in all the stories went for the same plot twist(not shore about SRNWT yet) but one girl saves the other from her troubles with her kindness...When Kanata gave her support to Riu the last episode I just thought of Haibane.. The similarity (for me at least) ends there...

Nowadays, people now start to compare between present and past anime.What next?? Older generation give up on present anime and start clinging with old anime??I guess in every generation even now, my grandfather still clinging to old movie and refuse to face the present entertainment.Most Old anime its better than new,but thats a terrible fact that i hate to admit .If you don't like watch it,then Evolve to be able to watch it please....
