Sound of the Sky	comment	Sound of the Sky (So Ra No Wo To) is an anime that aired in the winter of 2010 and was directed by Mamoru Kanbe. Produced by Aniplex as a part of TV Tokyo's Anime no Chikara project, it is an Anime First, and follows fifteen-year-old Kanata Sorami, who joins the 1121st platoon of the Helvetian Army in the town of Seize. So Ra No Wo To was streamed on Crunchyroll and Funimation, although it was delisted from the former in 2021. In 2011, Nozomi Entertainment released it on DVD as Sound of the Sky, the English translation of the series title.At a young age, Kanata was inspired by a trumpeter's rendition of "Amazing Grace", and thereafter, decided to become a bugler. While on her way to the Clocktower Fortress, Kanata loses her way and stumbles into a festival dedicated to the Fire Maidens, who saved the town from a fire-breathing demon in a legend from a forgotten age. As the other platoon members train her to be a bugler, Kanata's own cheerfulness and innocence, drives the other members to find their own happiness in a world devastated by conflicts.Over the next year, Kanata adjusts to life at the Clocktower Fortress, learning more about music and the events that shaped the world around her, all the while brightening up her brigade's day. The series follow their misadventures, from exploring the pasts of her friends, to saving the townspeople from a huge storm, and finally battling the sadistic antagonist, Colonel Hopkins, who wants war to break out for his own pleasure. Even as the calm in Seize gives way to the threat of war, Kanata's optimism brings the legend of the Fire Maidens to life once more.

Sound of the Sky / int_120a6a29	comment	Artistic Licence â€“ History: The artists went to great lengths to correctly represent some German WWII equipment such as the Karabiner 98k rifle or the ZÃ¼ndapp KS750 motorcycle and sidecar, but the VW KÃ¼belwagen Type 82 is made for left-hand drive and, perhaps more oddly, is front-engined, evidenced by what is supposed to be the rear engine compartment being used as storage. (Like the Beetle it's based on, the KÃ¼belwagen is rear-engined, and all were made for right-hand drive).

Furthermore, humanity's losing war against "Them" led to the deterioration of the Earth's biosphere. However, it is a World Half Full, as the PV (and the lyrics of "Servante de Feu") reminds us:

Sound of the Sky / int_f06b07ff	type	Locked Out of the Loop
Sound of the Sky / int_f06b07ff	comment	Locked Out of the Loop: Something is being kept from Kanata by the rest of the platoon, and Naomi is in on it too; episode six reveals it to be, the fact that the 1121st illegally distills and sells calvados to the mob, to make up for lack of payment from HQ, and has been since, before our girls were stationed there. Following an epic drunken mock battle (with a low tech version of paint ball as discipline), Kanata finds out about it in the first OVA.
