So-Ra-No-Wo-To (Sora no Oto / Sounds of the Skies) is the first TV series announced by Aniplex and TV Tokyo, as part of their "Anime no Chikara" project. The anime's staff from studio A-1 Pictures includes director Mamoru Kanbe (Elfen Lied) and character designer Meru Kishida (Atelier Rorona). The story is set in the future on a land that, after being marred by long-lasting wars, has settled into quiet decline. Model and actress Juri Aikawa will play Kanata Kumika, a 15-year-old girl who fulfills her dream of enlisting in the army and joins a unit of five girls who protect a fortress. The girls also play music that reverberate across the skies over towns without people and seas without fish. (based on ANN synopsis)
