“Journey of a Young Boy (part 2)”

The complaints that I had about the failure to reveal Yoshioka’s character became irrelevant as I realised the excellent subtlety and understatement that went towards creating his family situation.
I’ve got a rescue question about this story, but otherwise it’s fine.

“The Journey of a Young Boy (part one)”

What’s three months between episodes between friends? It’s kind of a long time, actually, but let’s not harp. Rescue Wings is back, and as necessarily contrived as it’s ever been.

“Bright Side of Life (part two)”

Carelessness is only a split second, but regret lasts forever.

They really do make anime as good as this. Rescue Wings manages to put me in a very emotional state without for one second seeming manipulative. From this series I get a feeling of a total love for human life, and the idea of friends as a family that care for each other.
This “Bright Side of Life” story covered many different perspectives and was generally a triumph of scripting and direction.

“Bright Side of Life (part one)”

An episode that occurs during the o-bon festival, yet another Japanese holiday. The episode works on the triplet fronts of Uchida, Megumi and Hongo with some overlap. Again the home lives of the characters are on offer and one can more accurately see what these people are like.

“Title pending”

Another good episode that is a little too neat in its platitudes and some of its framing, but enjoyable nonetheless.

“Precious One”

An excellent episode that creates a real sense of community for those on Komatsu Air Base and absolutely sells Rescue Wings.

“A Painful job”

A very good episode; I learned to fall in love with the sometimes grandiose nature of Rescue Wings and I learned that things cannot always go to plan in the world of rescue operations.

“Difficult Job”

A good episode that gives a feel for what the “rescue” part of this series will be like, with an unfortunate over reliance on the cliché to get its message across.

“First Job”

Before I begin, I have to digress. Am I the only one who, just looking at the title, is forced to sing “Take/ these Rescue Wings/ and learn to fly again”?
Rescue Wings is the not-very-pretty new series from J.C. Staff. It’s early days yet, and that TV Tokyo watermark really annoys me, but things are looking okay.
