“The Magnificent Kotobuki’’ is an anime set in a fictional world resembling the 1930s, where vintage aircraft play a crucial role in transportation and commerce. The anime is centered around the Kotobuki Squadron which is led by Reona, the squadron also includes Kylie, Emma, Kate, Zara, Chika. The anime explores their adventures as they undertake tasks such as airship escorts and engage in aerial battles against pirates. The anime director was the same director as the Girls und Panzer Animes.

The anime also has a compilation film that includes the content from the anime and additional content that was not aired when the anime originally aired.

A mobile game that was only available in Japan was also released called “Kōya no Kotobuki Hikōtai - Ōzora no Take Off Girls!” which features the cast from the anime and more squadrons which were not included in the anime. The game launched February 13th 2019 and shut down December 14th 2020.

The anime also has many official model kits for the planes featured in the anime for viewers to buy and build at home to be able to show off how much they like the anime.

For this suggestion I will be focusing on one of the characters and their plane in particular. The plane in particular would be Reona’s Ki-43-I Hayabusa

Reona is the commander of the Kotobuki Squadron, she can be described as piloting by the book, she uses her expanse of experience as a pilot to be able to imagine multiple scenarios while in a situation. Since she is the commander of the Kotobuki Squadron she is also in charge of leading, and keeping the other members in line when they cause trouble. Her personal paint scheme is somewhat basic when compared to the other aircraft in her squadron. I cannot find anything special to note about her unique tail art.
