Kyoshiro to Towa no Sora sounds like a fairly promising anime. It features cute girls, hot guys (not my personal opinion…), an ultimate student council, fanservice, vampires, yuri, mecha, catgirls, awesome horses… Pretty much everything. Too bad I didn’t catch everything because I was watching this anime raw…
Shiratori Kuu is a student at Academia. She has a dream of a prince taking her hand and asking her to come with him. One day, a transfer student by the name of Ayanokoji Kyoshiro enters the school. Kuu gets the feeling that Kyoshiro is the prince from her dreams.
Apparently he’s a total babe magnet. He also thinks that ripping girls’ uniforms off is okay. Apparently the other girls didn’t mind either. I’d imagine that if any other anime character tried a stunt like that, he’d be punched into a star like Team Rocket!
Anyway, fast forward to the second half of the episode. Some vampire catgirl mecha pilot attacks Kuu’s goggle-wearing friend! And Kuu’s the next target! Luckily, she’s saved by the blonde mecha pilot who was making out with Kyoshiro earlier.
An omega mecha battle breaks out in the school and Kuu is stuck in the middle! Luckily, Kyoshiro comes to her rescue on his horse with awesome jumping skills. Finally, the cat girl is beaten and all is well. Kuu even gets a rejuvenating kiss from Kyoshiro!
Well that was a pretty random episode. Between all of the bishie viewing, suggested yuri, catgirls, mecha and horses, I feel overloaded. Hopefully there’ll be some more plot action in the next episode.
The character designs are actually pretty good. My favorite is the goggle girl. I think I like goggles as an accessory even more then nekomimi. The animation quality for this episode was great. I really have to applaud the production company for not using CG for the mecha. It’s probably the reason I didn’t stop the anime halfway through. Who knows if the animation quality will plummet, though? For now, Kyoshiro to Towa no Sora looks good.
The second that I heard the OP, I knew it was CooRie doing the singing. I love CooRie! The actual opening animation sequence is done well and adds a lot to the OP as well. The ED singer sounds really similar to CooRie, but I guess her name is Ceui. The ED is nice too, but I like the OP better.
Download the OP: “Cross Heart” by CooRie
Download the ED: “Madoromi no Rakuen” by Ceui
Kyoshiro to Towa no Sora is really a fun anime. I have a feeling that it doesn’t take itself too seriously, and just throws a bunch of stereotypical stuff in there for the heck of it. Though I watched this raw, I think I understood quite a bit of it. I think if Kyoshiro to Towa no Sora gets subbed, I’ll definitely put it on my “should watch” list.

Dammit i need subs lol
Is that both girls kissing in the preview? I mean WHAT?!
Hmm, that girl with the black hair looks like Suzumiya Haruhi.. Who does the production on this title? It actually looks quite interesting, too bad I have to rely on fansubs as well =(
The last screencap looks like Chikane and Himeko (only this time in meganeko) from Kannaduki no Miko. Hmm.
…Is this merely a coincidence?!
i watched the 1st 2 episodes and i thourght it rocked!!! i really like how they did the mecha and the art is really gd! i am def going to keep watching this series its exactly what i am into at the moment! ^_^
Just saw this episode and you’re right, there is a lot to absorb here! Almost too much!
It does wet your appetite for more though. I liked the “softer” approach to the animation and I liked the use of the mecha. When they punched they only used the arm, when they kicked, the legs. The only time you see the whole thing is when its being used as defense. I thought this was pretty original.
i think everyone should at least keep watching untill the 5th epi just to make sure it is some thing u dont want to see! as for me i love it so far. and i have to agree with cosmo that this is a great original when it comes to displaying the mech and their attacks.
I ve seen the whole thing and I just think its a wonderfull anime..I always seem to find animes i cry to.. hm this is not an exeption.. its hm cry-able… other that is cry-able too is elfen lied, mai hime, my otome, air.. sailor moon..believe it or not hihi.. anyway enjoy^^

Kyoshiro to towa no sora rocks. I’ve seen the anime and it’s super. I cryed at the ending T-T, but it’s a wonderfull love story 😀
It’s wonderful isn’t it!I cried so hard that my mom could hear me and she told me to stop crying so aloud that it would hurt my moms ear drums.
HaHa If there are no subs then it must be a Good thing I know allot of Japanese (Still not to perfection but I guess I can at least watch this anime and get what there saying)
