    Yomigaeru Sora ~Rescue Wings~

    Episode 1 by yu:

    http://a.scarywater.net/yu/Yom...AC4137C%5D.mkv.torrent

    "Second Lieutenant, Uchida Kazuhiro, is a new helicopter pilot. However what he really wanted to be was a fighter pilot to fly at supersonic speed in stratosphere. But he faced a harsh reality. During the pilot training, he was transferred to the rescue helicopter course. Now, he is working for the Komatsu Rescue Squad whose mission is only rescue.
    At first he is depressed because he is assigned to the position that he doesnt wish. But, joining various missions, for example, rescue of airplane accidents, missing in mountains, earthquakes, and so forth, he gradually thinks it a challenging job. "

    Hmm... Helicopters are cool. I wonder if an anime concentrating on them would be cool as well...

    You didn't happen to watch the first episode, did you? If you did, was it any good?

    Yomigaeru Sora ~Rescue Wings~

    Hm... looks like nobody watched the first episode of this show. Not even you Bud, despite creating this topic?

    I DLed Episode 1 a while back, and I was looking for something different so I tried it out. This episode didn't have an opening song/intro. I wonder if the rest will... The ending song wasn't too hot...

    However, this looks like a pretty good show sofar. The concept isn't something I've ever imagined before. Most anime focuses on the fighters, the warriors, the MS pilots, the swordsmen, the gunslingers etc etc. "Rescue Wings" has a really novel concept, at least from where I'm sitting. The main character is so obviously in love with jets, but he has to be a rescue helicopter pilot. The minor characters didn't get much screentime, but "Evil Colonel" Hongo and Kosaka, the fighter pilot, struck me as pretty interesting and cool characters.

    Episode 1 is not what I would call a "hook" episode. It isn't flashy. It doesn't reel in the viewer and make them say "That first episode was so cool!" This first episode deals with the main character (Uchida) getting situated in the town where his military base is. The landlord, the neighbors, the landlord's hellish dog, messed up deliveries, mother calling to check in on you, phone-tag with the girlfriend, trying to figure out where to eat, meeting your superior officer. Not flashy stuff at all, but very realistic. The show seems to pay attention to all the details that are actually all pretty important.

    The animation: Again, realistic character designs. Nobody with blue hair or hair jutting out at impossible angles. The people are all very ordinary Japanese people. The characters are animated well, but it seems that it may be confusing telling them apart, especially when they have flight helmets on...
    The action animation. Well, there really wasn't much "fast paced" action to speak of yet. But the animation of the fighter jet taking off was pretty cool and they seem to have an almost CGI animation going with the planes when they are in flight. It's not the crispest or most amazing animation, but all the plane/helicopter movement was done pretty damn well.

    The quality of the fansub: I have never heard of Yu fansubs before this. They translated almost everything in sight. The labels on the food, the words on the side of the helicopter, the handwriting on a poster. Minor stuff. I can't really comment on the accuracy of the translation as I don't know Japanese, but it sounded allright to me. There were a couple obvious errors in grammar and a typo in the English sub. As for the visual quality, well it's MKV format and looked pretty damn good. Then again, I am not picky at all when it comes to video quality.

    Overall: I would recommend watching this show, especially as a change of pace from all the stereotypical animes out there, especially with Naruto and Bleach both in the midst of fillers... I really need to see more episodes of this show to make a proper judgment call on whether I like it or not.

    the RAW for episode 2 is floating out there somewhere, but I figure I'll wait until it is subbed to post here. Also, has anyone heard if any other groups will sub this show?

    Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".

    Just because I start a topic it doesn't mean I actually watched the episode... Only created the topic just so that other people get aware that there's a new anime out there, people that usually don't know otherwise...

    But, I do have plans on watching it... just not now...

    Well, I did watch the first episode (like I said, I like nothing better than helicopters. Much cooler than jets). Just didn't remember to post anything here.

    Well, that being said, I almost fell asleep watching the first episode. However, I'm not one of those hyper guys addicted to action, so I will certainly keep watching this series. It looks like a very realistic one, without any scifi or fantasy elements (like masamuneehs said, not even in hair styles). However, the chicks look better than in Zipang, which is a good thing (and realistic...). Well, as is evident, I don't have anything concrete to add to masamuneehs' post. If you like Zipang also for other reasons than action, you might like this as well. Although with only one episode out, it's somewhat early to say even this much.

    Yes, I am a spamwhore when it comes to series I like, especially when they're underappreciated/ unknown in most of the anime community. So this is yet another shameless bump for a series that is just starting out but that I really think has great potential.

    Another group has decided to do subs of Rescue Wings. This group is Froth-Bite, which is at least better known than yu fansubs (i still have no idea who that group is)

    Rescue Wings - Episode 1 from Froth-bite

    I am such a whore. Bumping this just for a crappy fansub release...

    What is taking everyone so long with subbing this show?!? It's driving me nuts!

    anyhow, ureshi has released episode 2 (if you even watch their releases)
    ureshi - Rescue Wings - Episode 2

    A different group has released episode 1! This one is called ureshi. And I hope that they continue, because episode 2 (RAW) has been out for awhile, but no group seems to be subbing this show...

    The link to the Ureshi fansub release of episode 1 can be found here.

    Hahaha... Geez Bud, you're like becoming the official announcer for new series in Gotwoot!
    *grinz*
    Sounds like an interesting series. Helicopters, cool!
    Has a cool title with a nice ring to it too, heh.
    Just hope the subbers do a good job.

    Episode 2 and 3 were really pretty good, 3 was flat-out awesome.

    They did a really good job, in a show without a war, demons, or your typical anime-villains/conflicts with keeping the tension high. Episode 3 was just chock-full of twists and developments, right up until the very end of the episode. They really don't glorify or exaggerate in this show very much. At first it was sorta cheesy, them saving that one woman right before her car fell in. Then you had Uchida going out of his way to help the survivors, the whole rescuing the cat thing. But then there was the construction worker and the rest of episode 3. Wow.

    This show started off very slowly. But if they keep the show at this level I am definetley watching.

    The opening theme is so-so. Nothing great or terrible. The animation is really awesome and I'm getting over the character designs. One thing that needs to change is the music, which is subpar.

    If you needed another reason to watch this show (which you don't), here's some more tidbits: The VA for Colonel Hongou is none other than Ishizuka Unsho. He was Jet Black in Cowboy Bebop, Quent (the hunter/cop) in Wolf's Rain and in Haiyato Daimon in Mahoromatic. Megumi is voiced by the same person who does Anna Liebert in Monster, and Yuka from Elfen Lied, among other roles.

    Anime News Netowork classifies this show as "Mecha, military". That sorta makes me chuckle. Since when did helicopters and planes become mecha? If anything this is a pure drama, set in a military setting.

    Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".

    Pretty good episodes. Ultra realistic, like masamuneehs said. The characters are also very realistic and behave like you could imagine real people behaving. I don't think series like this are that common. Surely with just human relationship themed shows, but not possibly with a work related theme, like this.

    - - spoilers below, if you haven't yet watched the episodes - -

    I wonder if Uchida has lost somebody in an earthquake, or didn't he just expect at all to meet such conditions. He seemed quite surprised when he saw the dead construction worker and took very heavily the death of the girl. Hmm... Maybe he still hadn't realised he wasn't going to be a jet pilot but a pilot of a rescue helicopter.

    Heh. I wonder if they are saving the first actual conversation between Uchida and Megumi as the climax of the series for a much later episode... Man, I simply can't imagine they could even meet face to face in some episode!
