Not to worry, it was just a training exercise!

Or was it?

The beginning of Sora no Woto’s fifth episode left me wondering even more about what the series was going to contain for us viewers.

The first indication that the series may contain more than it seemed was the ghost in episode three, which I didn’t notice until Scamp mentioned it, personally.  And in episode 4, we’re handed two things: the idea that the tank may actually get repaired and Kanata’s quick (immediate) improvement with her trumpet.

Usually I wouldn’t label that kind of improvement as anything but irritating, but for it to happen so quickly in the series, there must be room for more serious things coming soon.  After all, Kanata’s ineptitude with the musical instrument was an important plot device.  For them to kill it so quickly would be a major error, I think, unless they were planning on bringing up something else.

Sure, there are still silly things in Sora no Woto as well, for instance, Noel’s letter from Pro Fessor.  But it’s the less than silly things that make me wonder, and it’s the balance that’s keeping me interested.

Is anyone else looking forward to seeing where this goes, or is it just me?

I’m kind of thinking there will be an actual battle towards the end of the series…though, how everyone will fit into it and how it will end, I cannot guess.

And since I’m on the subject…

I’m impressed with Sora no Woto in general as well.  It has nice backgrounds, the art has kind of grown on me, and I’ve distanced it from K-on! in my mind, and the characters are as I expected, which is, for the most part, a good thing.  I especially like lazy Noel.  Her Professor joke was adorable.
