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.

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!
