Rio looks ready for your messages.

Sora no woto episode 10 review!

Welcome today’s episode follows Rio as we learn more about her strange past and family history. We start with Rio reading another letter from what i can only guess is her father quickly burning the letter before anyone can read it she appears to have a few heavy thoughts on the recent letter, Kureha joins Rio not really suspecting anything is going on with Rio. Also looks like Kanata has the hang of the trumpet quite well after Kureha tells Rio shes a great teacher, Noel seems to have the tank too maybe were get a battle scene sometime but i won’t hold my breath.

Kanata is soon visited by Yumina and another new girl to ask the 1121st for help with a old woman named Jacott who also has a strange past, Kanata knows her from the market buying vegtables from her. Yumiea is worried about her with the threat of winter approaching they are afraid for her health after Kanata convinces Rio to go through with this side mission they visit the woman finding out shes waiting for her son to return but Rio has other thoughts on that knowing hes not coming back, after seeing she was low on supplies Kanata goes into town to get some can foods she listens to two men talking about the younger sister to the fallen Iliya hearing shes not really known by many and that shes the next in line to take over her spot. Rio then joins Kanata to go on a walk to have a bit of a chat, we learn Rio had a older sister and she grew up in a small town with lots of pretty girls where she learned to play the trumpet so we can begin to put the pieces together about Rio being the younger sister of Iliya.

Kanata and Rio stay over at Jacotts place to watch over her, Rio is somewhat reminded of her mother from Jacott’s personality, we also see a flash back of the womans past seeing how Seize was a popular town back in the day. Jacott used to work in a bar where she met a wealthy man and fallen in love with him only to find out he was married after having his child he took the baby away promising he would return one day to get her, but that never happened we return to the story to find the woman thought she saw him and left the house during the first night of snowfall Kanata and Rio rush outside in the morning to find her missing. The two return to the base where Rio has to tell the girls shes going to be leaving them to settle things elsewhere but they don’t exactly tell you whats going on after watching this a second time you can piece it together. Seems Rio is going away to I think marry the enemy’s ruler or something with the peace talks, Rio and Kanata talk alone playing one last song together of course Amazing grace the two share a bit of a sad moment as they talk about saying good bye but Rio tells her shes not going to say good bye yet, Noel and Kureha learn of Rio’s departure and also share a few tears. Rio left Kanata her trumpet which sells the point of her not being away forever and will return again one day.

Walmart must be in high demand for tank parts?

Bet they have a few parts left over.

Nice shot of Rio thinking.

Yes princess Rio ;)

*dramatic shot*

We noticed this Kanata..

Kanata enjoys a good game of hide and seek.

One last epic duet.

Awww don't cry Kureha and noel ;(

To take over the world muhahha.

See you later Rio!

She will return !

A new team member? i can see a tom boy character...

Final thoughts, not a bad episode more of a sad and story driven episode following Rio and her revealing more about her half sister. Happy to see Kanata acting more mature in these more serious episodes shes still a unique character and Kureha seems to be more lively too I like that, a little sad to see Rio leaving the team but shes doing what has to be done for peace talks. Seeing the tank standing up on legs finally is a great site but with only two to go i wonder if we will get any epic tank battle, but like I said not going to hold my breath for that to happen however I am interested to see how the last two play out maybe we will get a fast forward to a year or something like that. Cant wait to see more of this addictive story!
