The intro song and ending song have really grown on me since I first heard it. Especially the ending song. They're both included here, but only in their on-air lengths.

This CD contains the tunes for the entire series and the titles do spoil the story a bit as the names of the tracks are sometimes based on things and events that viewers wouldn't have known about yet unless they read the book. The first half of the CD is pretty mellow, but I like the music as it gets towards the end. Since I know what happens, I feel like the music is really appropriate for the moods that the book evokes near the end with the love between Iriya and Asaba. My favorite track is the one titled "The Last Road."

I finally get to see Iriya's aircraft! From what I remember of the book, this part of the story was mostly to describe the Yuuko's crush on Asaba. Again, it's probably because this is only 30 minutes long, but I didn't think that this came through clearly in the animation. There's also the backstory with the military in the city that was only touched upon here.

The picture quality in this volume was a little iffy. The picture is extremely soft. At first, I thought that it was just the first few scenes as they're flashbacks, but it turns out that the entire episode was like that.
