I finally finished another anime series. This one took quite long because i had so much to do! On hindsight this one was lovely, i love it. In contrast to the moe type characters, this anime has a good storyline and a deep meaning.
Kanata enlists herself in the military to learn how to play the bugle. Her inspiration is actually formed from her meeting with a beautiful blond haired woman during the war, who plays her a song which seemingly touches her soul. She meets four other girls, namely Noel, Rio, Kureha and filicita.
They consider her to be a naive innocent girl because she loves the world. The story is set in a post-apocalyptic setting and shows us how the war has spread through out the world. Now humans have been reverted back to their past predecessors, such as being unable to use airplanes. However as the show continues, it is clear that there are many machines and technology that are not familiar with our time.
From what i can tell, this means that the world had evolved so much that humans waged a war on one another, causing the world to suffer. As the show progresses we are also shown that there is no more life in the sea, and that many countries such as Europe have become non-existent and is now known as 'no mans land' due to the desert like climates and barrenness of the land.
Sora no woto shows me that Kanata manages to bond with her teammates and it is also clear that her innocence is 'special' to them, because some of them have been through the war, which has scarred them deeply. I find their own personal stories very interesting and they add to the 'mysteriousness' of the story. I would say that the character development is pretty well done. I also enjoyed the fact that the show was a little dark, the realism of the show made the story more believable.
The backgrounds are beautifully animated, with a large amount of detail.The OSTs are orgasmic, they add so much effect to the show, especially the bugle. Overall i enjoyed it and would probably watch it again without a doubt.
