Sound of the Sky

Mar 23, 2017

I don't think I've ever gotten hooked on a show so fast in my life,  I find it quite unbelievable an anime of this caliber has gone so widely unoticed, I might be wrong but I don't see many people talking about it in the community. Nevertheless I'm glad I stumbled upon it.
I was instantly sold on the concept while watching the first episode. The world they have created is completely unique and you would be hard pressed to find something similar.
Everything for the setting to the lore of the land is very intriguing, at first you thing it's about soliders, but then they add this very cool fanatsy element with Demons and fire maidens, which is very interesting as the overall structure of the show seems to be slice of life and not action heavy.
If  I were to try compare it  Iwould say:
It's as if Girls Und Panzer were merged with Hibike Euphonum and Cross Ange with the characters from Idolmaster.
What I found even more impressive is how they handled this information. There was no exposition dumping and instead we are given hints as to what this world is so we can piece it together slowly ourselves, which is how good world building should be done.
One of the main reasons I fell in love with this show instantaneously is not just the world they've made, but the characters that inhabi it. Each one is established with care and end up being extremly likeable and diverse.
What enhaces this is the expressive animation they are drawn with that has very detailed gestures that make the characters seem more human.
The background art is very pretty too, but is also good at making things spooky when called upon.
If that wasn't enough the music in this show is truly beautiful and has one of the best openings.

All in all I would definitelty recommend this to anyone. It has a bit of everything to diversify itself from all the other Cliche' fantasy anime.
