I have a confession to make: I didn't really watch M*A*S*H; just a few episodes here and there. Anyway, looks like this was a character exposition episode for Rio, which likely means that the other three girls, sans Kureha, because her's was episode 2, and I feel that episode 1 didn't really reveal much about Kanata, will each get one too, before the main plot starts. That comment about brass instruments, being relatively unused outside the military, caught my attention. It makes me wonder what world-changing event occurred that would cause people to stop playing brass instruments, and possibly instruments in general, like that. Also, it seems that "Amazing Grace" isn't as commonly heard as it is now. They've really nailed in the fact that this takes place in the future. I hope they start explaining what happened before.

Also, this show seems similar to Turn A Gundam, what with the post-post-apocalyptic world, "forgotten" technology, and slice of life setting. Surely, I'm not the only one that's noticed this... Right?
