Finally we can have the first “real” post of 2010. With the first day of the New Year, and only with five debuts, we take a look at an upcoming anime which appears to be popular by various fansub groups. Sora no Woto is an anime  in which 15 year old Kanata Kumika enlists in the army to protect the fortress that overlooks the small village that is the setting in the story. Kumika is put into an unit with five other girls who share a similar interest in music, among other things. The 13 episode series is set to debut on January 4, 2010 on TV Tokyo.

What makes this such a popular anime is that Sora no Woto is a confirmed project by 6 groups, two in which are jointly doing the project. The question that remains is who will help to steal away the viewers of the whole show. Trailers have already appeared from groups Phantom-subs and pwq. The other 4 groups have not released anything as of yet. Taking a look at the trailer, it teases several clips from the series, as well as several images and quotes that help to relate to the story at hand, without revealing too much.

From the look of the trailer, So-Ra-No-Wo-To would appear as a boring anime. However, girls in the army, forts, and adventures have definitely generated hype surrounding the series. Let’s hope that this one does not disappoint. I will check in again when the first few episodes are released. If you already are playing favoritism on the 6 groups involved, you can go to their respective pages.
