Yomigaeru Sora - Rescue Wings

[Lego]

I figured I would make a post about this show since I didn't see or find one(if there is one direct me to it please). This and Ergo Proxy seem to be the most promising shows this season for me. The offical site is here. Taking a look at the short promo clip, the animation looks nice(but it's a promo). It seems that Bandai Visual is doing the animation with funding from J.C. Staff.

I'm hoping this turns out to be another Planetes or a similar series. It seems to air today/tommarow, so I'm looking forward to episode 1.

Well it looks like episode 1 has aired. Since I can't read Japanese, I'm at a loss for the finer points of the series. Maybe Wrex will start watching the show and help me out heh. Anywho, going by the pics on 2ch, it looks like a great show.

So instead of trying and failing with a summary, I figured I would post some pictures from the episode:

He must of short changed the cab guy..

i made a thread a while ago. not like it matters since i was the only one who posted and i'm not following this show anyways, since i've got other priorities.

Ah, sorry bout over looking it Rogue. I found myself likeing this show. It seems that most of the shows this season(so far) are comedy/fanservice romps. This looks like it could turn into a great show, and I like the research that they did for the show.

Hopefully others will watch it [img]/images/graemlins/sdsmiley.gif[/img]

Sorry for the back to back posts, but maybe someone can clear this up for me. I see that AniDB has J.C. Staff listed under the show, yet the shows site says Bandai Visual. I remember seeing something about J.C. Staff funding the show, while Bandai Visual did his thing.

So is J.C. Staff's role just funding, or are they animating to?

Bandai Visual are credited with "gensaku", or "original work", and "seisaku" or "production", with JC Staff credited for animation. So it's the other way round; I think Bandai Visual are funding it, and JC Staff are animating it.

Ah, thanks for the information. By the way, Happy Birthday Blu [img]/images/graemlins/sdsmiley.gif[/img].

Well it seems that episode 2 has aired(according to 2ch). I still have hope for the show, since most people said episode 1 was a so so effort. But I'm hopeing that it turns out to be a good show. Any who, looking at the pictures for episode 2, it seems like it focuses on one of his fellow crewmen rather then him.

I think the show will excel once they get into the stories where they're out on missions/incidents with the helicopters. Until then it's a bunch of army/air force guys talking to each other.

I just watched the first episode. I liked what I saw.

A very down-to-earth show. It's about time we got an anime that's set in a real world present day atmosphere/setting.

Although nothing really happens in the first episode, I thought it was a nice calm way to set up the show (as well as being realistic). Some might say it was boring though. I would guess the excitement factor will jump in Episode 2 (if the last scene in Ep.1 is any indication).

Yeh. I managed to get sit down and watch episode 1, and I can see why some find it boring. It's more of a subtle mood then anything. Episode 2 looked to show some back story and introduce new characters. I'm hoping for the best.
