Synopsis
In a lonely corner of the world, on the edge of No Man’s Land, sits Clocktower Fortress. It’s home to the 1121st Platoon of the Helvetian Army, and their newest member is a 15-year-old volunteer named Kanata Sorami, who enlisted to learn how to play the bugle. When she was a child, Kanata was saved by a beautiful soldier and found inspiration in the clear, golden sound of her trumpet. From that day forward, Kanata decided music would be her life.
As the other platoon members train her how to be a bugler and a soldier, Kanata's enduring optimism will inspire them to look for happiness and beauty, even in a world haunted by war.

Editor's Review
“Sound of the Sky” (ソ・ラ・ノ・ヲ・ト, Sora no Woto) is a Japanese anime television series that beautifully blends slice-of-life and war story genres. The series is produced by A-1 Pictures and Aniplex and directed by Mamoru Kanbe.
The story revolves around a young girl named Kanata Sorami, who is inspired to join the military after witnessing a rendition of “Amazing Grace” by a mysterious trumpeter of the Helvetian Army. She becomes a bugler and is assigned to the 1121st Platoon stationed in the town of Seize (inspired by Cuenca, Spain) in Helvetia (another name for Switzerland). The story takes place in a post-apocalyptic world after a great war regressed humanity’s technological capabilities back to early-to-mid 20th century standards.
Kanata is portrayed as optimistic and cheerful, yet dedicated to her duties as a soldier and as a member of the platoon. Despite being gifted with absolute pitch, Kanata initially lacks musical prowess, but gradually improves as the story progresses.

The animation quality is commendable, with detailed character designs and dynamic sequences that keep viewers engaged. The series also features a diverse cast of characters, each with their unique personalities and backgrounds, adding depth to the storyline.
