* Sora no Oto was created as a multimedia mix project and the first entry in Aniplex and TV Tokyo's Anime no Chikara project. Set in the future on a land that, after being marred by long-lasting wars, has settled into a quiet cycle of decline. Sorami Kanata is 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 that looms over a little village. The girls also play music that reverberates across the skies over towns without people and seas without fish. Note: This title is reported as using the Spanish city of Cuenca and its nearby Alarcón Fortress as a model for the storyline.
