    It is interchangable. Kyoto Animation is reusing the Munto website for the series. Munto is the name of one of the main characters. The official title is Sora o Miageru Shoujo no Hitomi ni Utsuru Sekai, but no one really wants to advertise that so they just put "Munto TV."

    Will Edit when I watch.

    EDIT:

    That was an incredibly dense first episode as most series go. I actually found it somewhat hard to follow at a few points. The worst in particular was where they showed Yumemi and Ichiko searching for Kazuya while the United Army geezers explained the history of the Heavenly World. The girls' scene was fully developed using expressions only (wonderfully so I might add) while the talk between the geezers kept dividing my attention. I had to go back quite a few times.

    I also enjoyed the hypocrisy of the United Army claiming that the Magical Kingdom was clinging to its old ways and wasting the Akuto. The United Army are the ones wasting a ton of Akuto trying to kill another country, only so that they can cling to the remaining energy.

    The connection to the current energy crisis, and the actions of my own particular nation are not lost on me...

    What right does anyone have to kill another group of people only so that they might live a little longer in their own stubborn ways? Munto on the other hand, is risking everything on the small hope that he might save his world. The old geezers are merely trying to kill him off and the rest of the Magical Kingdom so they can cling to their own power and strangle the world with their orders.

    The fight were very impressive. I hope to see much more of them.

    Though the art is a little simplier for KyoAni, more Lucky Star than AIR/Kanon, they use it in very impressive ways. The reflections were wonderful, the time-space scenes were as well, and the intricate way some of the fighting scenes are animated works very well. They swap the usually mind-blowing visual acuity for vibrant animation. The fight between the sword-girl and Gass was a perfect example.
