@ lolikit: It’s true that original content is scarce in anime, but Sola does quite a bit more recycling that others. Though I do agree that it’s execution has been great so far, I just hope they come through with a decent ending.

@ Testament: Thanks XD And if by “This show has its moments” you mean “Matsuri is awesome and Aono should die in a fire” then I completely agree.

@ Owen S: Aww, that’s a little harsh haha. At least it LOOKS like we’re going to have a pretty epic battle. Whether there’ll be casualties and a bittersweet ending or an insert miracle and happily ever after is what I’m anxious to find out.

@ Kanon_fan82: Rather than an underdog, Mana wasn’t really a contender if you’re talking about potential romance with Dorito-kun that is. Some episodes back she and Dorito-kun had a hearty laugh about how they’d never date, and while Mana may not really think that way, Dorito-kun more than likely does.

@ Teeif: Aono is the bad guy. Aono is holding on to the past and is at the root of this whole conflict, what with her origami brother.

@ Avisch: He will, eventually. All male anime leads are completely oblivious to the feelings of those around them until the dying seconds of the anime.

Kanon_fan82: Nope two episodes left. Though it’s entirely possible 13 is a epilogue. And the 2 inter-quel episodes in DVD volumes 4 & 5.

Teeif: We don’t know Matsuri’s intentions…..bleh

Well anyway Shirukii I totally agree on the memory loss plot device, to me it’s really boring in a story that based around like that.

Anyway I hop Dorito remembers Mana’s words. ”

Pay attention to other people’s feelings” because: GOD HE NEEDS TO……..do that.

I’m torn…. who is the badguy again? I feel a bit sorry for Aono. Matsuri is the aggressor, fighting for her own selfish love. Aono was manipulative and deluded but in the end, she did let Matsuri live!! And now she’s come back… to kill her.

Good episode….but the cliche mind-swipe and accompanying disappearance is just so……over-done…and I’ve only been watching anime for a year lol…..

I’ve also discovered that I’m a complete sucker for the under-dog…..Poor Mana :(……

Next week is the finale right???

>>On a less praising note. Sae. Please, PLEASE! STFU! God her voice is annoying.

Amen.

I also need to say that lolikit is a whore, so everything he says is irrelevant: sola shines like the come on his face from a thousand bukkake sessions.

The whole thing screamed “Kanon”, I wasn’t expecting the mindwipe, but I did the disappearance (again lol). I don’t get why no one else sees this, though, maybe it’s because they swapped the characters around a little. In any case, I hope the promise of an epic battle fixes this.

My money’s on Dorito and Tomato Soup girl living happily ever after. In the Elysian Fields, as side dishes for the gods. Or something.

I think the show is quite well done, although I do agree about the whole cliche. This show does have it’s moments.

Nice Review ^^

Yes, the memory wipe is cliche and overdone. But so is just about *everything* in this show (and in most current shows, everything having already been done before, in a sense). I think what’s important in evaluating this is execution, and when it comes to that I do believe Sola shines.
