That’s how Sora no Woto starts. Kanata comes up with that weird reason. She meets some other girls in the town to which she is being appointed to. Seems like there’s a legend of the fire maidens going around the town. A monster once showed up and lured girl into his fortress. The girls communicated with each other by a golden horn and defeated the monster with a giant spider… In other words: Kanata will use her horn and shows up with the shown tank. After that, the head continued to blast away fire, so the girls hugged it tightly and it eventually stopped after a year. Kanata still has a long way to go before she can play the horn better… Well, I have to say that the scenery and animation is very nice, with the backgrounds being really realistic. The character designs are just recycled and updated versions of K-On characters, though. A story about some kind of military-ish music tale has begon. The notes of the sky. I watched it with Nekomimi subs, which were nice.

Next up: Durarara!

I started it because it’s from the same writer as the Baccano! series. The opening already shows it’s similiarities. When Mikado and Masaomi are walking around the city, even a part of Baccano is shown with Jacuzzi and Nice. Mikado eventually bumps into a Holo reclam-thingy. The two bump into Erika and Walker, some friends of Masaomi. Pretty near them are some kind of familiar persons to Masaomi, sitting in a van, Kadoka and Togusa. In the mean time, it seems like Magenta is about to get kidnapped by Nakura. She really ended up being kidnapped. Anyhow, the two boys bump into Simon (who’s actually called Samia), a black guy. You don’t see that often. Pretty funny to see the reactions of the people being scared of him at first. Masaomi advices Mikado to stay away from someone called Shizuo Heiwajima… After you saw a vending machine flying through the sky. Back to the kidnappers. They’re waiting for the person with who they’ve made a deal to show up, but instead the mysterious biker with neko helmet shows up. The shadows of the biker are similiar to a horse. The rumors say that the biker is actually a shinigami… and doesn’t have a head. The example is shown. Back to the guys. Masaomi warns also for a guy named  Orihara Izaya and for some people called Dollars. As Mikado bumps into a girl and  they both fall to the ground, Masaomi seems to head to Mikado, but then goes for the girl, who runs off when she’s come to. It ends with the guys seeing the headless rider.

The soundtrack rules, really. Just like Baccano. Likeable characters, nice animation and character designs and not to forget the story that seems fantasy-in-reality. Not all the characters are introduced as well… So that’s certainly something to look forward to. Especially when there’re 23 episodes left!
