Sora No Woto EP09! I'm pretty sure I'm watching this series in hopes that there is an epic spider tank battle, and hopefully it'll happen soon. I don't really feel anything for the characters that much so... the series is feeling cheaper and cheaper as it progresses to me.
So, what is happening in this episode? Kanata has been at the fort for six months and isn't bad at her bugle. This story is largely about Rio since they did cover everyone else's past.. except for maybe the tank girl.
They have new tank parts and might just finish it so, they don't have to drag the stupid tank out by hand to shoot stuff now.
Kanata and the tsundere loli were running around trying to find the military history book to look up the blond girl. Everyone seems to have met this blond girl, but of course for a reason.
Rio is a bit confused about what she should do, she did receive a letter, but no one seems to know what it is all about. Kanata gets Rio to go help rescue an old lady who apparently is sick and gone missing.
Rio explains to Kanata how she feels a lot of things she does in life leads to dead ends, but Kanata being as care free as she is tells her how dead ends can be great things too. Rio begins to realize she may have been looking at life too harshly. The two of them go up to the mountains to find the old lady. When they find the old lady she is very sick and is bedridden. She also doesn't have the supplies to survive through the winter. She also refuses to leave because she is waiting for that certain someone to come get her.
Someone back at the fort knows the story about the old lady. The lady met up with a traveling merchant and fell in love. The two have a child together, butthe merchant also had a wife back home. He decides to take the child to his wife because his wife was unable to have a child.
The old lady ends up staying confined to her home only leaving to get the things she needs to live. The lady, delirious, leaves the house in the middle of a snowstorm where the two find her dead out in the snow.
Kanata discovers the blond girl is Rio's half sister. Also, the blond girl was actually up for being queen of the country. Sadly, Rio's sister died 2 years ago trying to save a child who was drowning in a river.
Rio finally begins to look at life a bit more lightly and decides to leave the fort. Maybe I wasn't paying attention, but I guess that is what she really is deciding to do.
Final Opinions: The arc was pretty cute. Rio's story was fun especially since it covered her sister and how she the whole crew was linked together. But, still I think this series could have sped up a bit faster though.
