Sora no Woto 05 – 06

Lets start off with my favourite part of the series so far! Shuko the owl!

We start off with the military girls playing "war". Then onto mail time. Phylicia then decides with Rio that it is time for some "training" disguised as a "field trip". The girls are forced to carry lots of heavy gear to 3 old observation devices to make sure they are still in working condition. Mio tells them if it gets too much Kana can blow on her trumpet. And also warns the girls that there are wild animals out there. Kureha immediately tries to take her gun out to protect them. Mio whaps both of their hands away and sends them on their way.

As they stopped to play around in a riverbed, their backpacks were torn opened by an unknown. Something is out there. A boar? Or worse? The compass has mysteriously gone missing too! Now they must find their way to the mountain top on their own. Hunger strikes the girls as soon as they start walking. Kana sees a tree of berries and wants to eat them but they must go on! They find goal 2 and continue to onward to goal 3.

It is clear that Rio took their compass. This is yet another test for these girls to see if they can survive and make it without help. Because of the sunset Kana finds the last goal and runs on after it. Once getting there they see first hand what No Man's Land looks like. A battle field filled with old debris from fighting long ago.

Phylicia appears from behind the observation and tells the girls that all the past fortress maidens came to this last place to see it at least once.

Flash back a tiny bit to when Rio was stalking the girls to makes sure they were getting along ok. She too was tempted by the berries that Kana was and thought it would be a nice treat for the girls at the end of their goal. She stumbles down to the tree and starts to reach for the branch, she notices a set of eyes watching her and with a snort she sees that boar the girls were talking about. She fought that big tough boar to get the girls those yummy berries. Dirty but a winner she presents the berries to everyone as they all bath in the spring together. This is actually one of the best hot spring episodes I have ever seen.

I am simply in love with this little town. It is so picture friendly and just plain quaint. Kana goes out on the town because today was her big payday. The rest of the girls stay home to play mafia... I don't quite get it but ok. They must defend some wine from being inflamed to crazy prices. Or something. Very random. Fanservice always finds it's way into this anime.

Misho is a girl in the town that misses her family greatly. She is sad because Kana can go out and get presents for her family but she can't find the one thing that was left over from her mother before she passed away. We flash back to her and her mother sitting on the floor with a box brushing their hair and putting it into braids. Her mother told her on her death bed that she wouldn't be able to braid her hair anymore, so she must find a special person that is willing to do it in her place. Someone that wishes to love and protect her. That very box in her memories was within the treasure one of the towns ladies had taken from those mobsters earlier.

An old man at the church tells Kana that an "Invisible Reaper" attacked Misho's town which is why she is alone here now. The church took her in after her mother passed away and father never returned from war. What is this Reaper? Please tell me more.

Baka to Test to Shokanju & Sora no Woto – 03 & 04

Baka to Test to Shokanju is way more enjoyable then I thought it would be. I find myself laughing at every single episode. It's really refreshing for once to laugh at what actually is happening in the anime than just laughing at the anime it's self.

While these two episodes did make me laugh a lot it has detached it's self from school battles for the most part and started focusing on romance. While seeing our main lead boy in a love triangle situation and his supporting male being hounded by a chick that will not take no for an answer is highly amusing, I hope we get back to what has made me like this show which is the school classroom battles.

I can't wait to see what comes next in this wacky fun anime.

Sora no Woto, Kanata plays bad again... and they eat a lot of food... again. I'm not sure how people find this interesting but at least it's pretty to look at. All the girls but Kanata and Rio go out after breakfast. Soon after everyone leaves Kanata randomly gets a fever while she and Rio sit under a tree and talk about why they joined the military. Rio starts freaking out big time because of Kanata's fever. I assume in her past, her mother got sick and probably died. There's no other reason for her crazy reaction other than that for me. After her freak out she musters up some good thinking and goes to get some medicine.

Rio played Amazing Grace through the mecha that Noel has been working on to make Kanata feel better once she was able to walk around again. Kanata has a memory of someone she knew in her past playing it. The song made me remember that they also used it in Eureka 7 too. They showed some pretty scenery while the song played. If anything keeps me interested in this show it's the background. This small little town is pretty.

Next episode is probably my favourite yet. Mainly because they went out and actually did stuff. This time it's Kanata and Noel's turn to go out into the town. Their mission is to get supplies. They stop off at lots of stores and randomly meet a nun with some kids that Kanata meet when she first arrived to this place. One of the kids whose parents were killed by soldiers gets pissed off and runs away shouting how much he hates the military.

They go to visit a glasswork factory so get a part that old man Carl has been working on for Noel's mecha. She really wants to make it work and thinks that this one piece is key to doing so. They talk about the past machines and how if they were made back then, they should be able to make them now. I'm rather interested to find out exactly what happened to make this world turn back to a simpler time.

Even though almost nothing much happened again in this episode... I really enjoyed it. I think I'm in love with how pretty it is. I don't really care for any of the characters yet but this little town rocks!
