Spoiler for off-topic reply:
~~~~ ~~~~ In sola's case, one of the main themes is that of loneliness. Given what we have been exposed to so far, it would seem that the characters are going to overcome their issues of loneliness, which points to happy ending (but hold the champagne there, boys and girls). In the very beginning, I expected a tragic ending, but as I started to watch more and more episodes, I realised that the chances of heading to a happy ending were actually steadily increasing. This does not totally dismiss the prospects of a sobfest ending though. Either one would fit at this point. As for another theme in sola for people to chew on and think about, it is the theme of forgiveness. I leave it to you to ponder on how this theme applies to each character individually. Cheers.

Another interesting question would be - do we expect all the characters to make it trough ? ... somehow i can see Aono not making it (but that might be my hate for her talking, so who knows ). Her character just seems set up for a tragedy one way or another. The whole situation with her obsessiveness over Yorito needs a closure, and i just can't picture her letting go of her feelings. Though one can never know what can happen in some spontaneous decision. I can imagine her sacrificing herself for Yorito's sake one way or another. (She doesn't want to live in a world without Yorito, so if Yorito were to die/be in mortal danger by some twist of fate...) Gah. The hamster in my brain comes to a halt whenever i try to form some theories about this show. Thats a good thing i suppose - everything can go either way, and it certainly isn't predictable. Not even the roles all the characters are going to play in the end. Though assuming that Aono sees teh light in the end (and i don't mean her turning in to a pile of rubble), i can easily see Koyori having something to do with it. Then again i could be way out in the left field again.

Daywalker Yaka?.....
*thinks, thinks, thinks,* *smoke coming out of the head* Hahaha Hmmm... Maybe i'll think Yorito has a connection of the 1st. "if" he dreams that he saw Aono and Matsuri in the past or somthing.... But What would happen if Yorito is just a normal Random guy who's obsessed in taking pictures of the skies :/ P.S. Maybe your right

Oh the old days, I remember when I used to review the series, but then I saw Pelly's episode-series-reviews who, while different then mine, were.. well they were something~ they really discouraged me from reviewing episodes, series, characters etc. Sorry Pell xP Pelly was a real influence on my views on how I should rate a series, I'm currently leaning to the opinion that a series is best judged by the communities response~ (note: not exactly opinion~) If more people contradict each other in views of the show, or like different things in the show then it's a ten otherwise it's average or bellow average. Regardless of brilliance or if the story is just more dumb-luck then anything. At the moment my opinion is good shows don't have to be "good" or "critiques approved". Though your episode reviews are kinda making me reconsider ~ now don't let that go to your head, I still wouldn't give them a ten for various reasons, like fines. Maybe after you refine your review technique... _______________ I can't believe I wrote that much on such a trivial topic >__> Quote:
BTW, what is the full real-life reference for yaka~

Well, we have daywalker Vampires in fiction, so might as well have a daywalker yaka I mean - it is possible that Yorito is some big, old and powerful Yaka that has overcome the only natural weakness of his race ... right ? ... nop, i don't think so myself either I only used the daywalker as an example to show the point that Yorito must be connected to the past one in some way (imo), whatever that way might be

In what way does drinking Tomato juice = vampire ? 0_o ... besides, weren't vamipres supposed to be incapable of eating normal food ? She has no problems in that regard. Besides, their abilities are nothing like the ones traditionally associated with Vampires.
They share some similarities, but are not the same, obviously.

The old school definition fits better ~ me thinks.
There are other things, if you see a vampire you won't give birth, if you see a vampire when you are pregnant then you will give birth to a vampire etc. Sorry no blood sucking or garlic in the old stories, this is later Hollywood eye-candy. I don't recall anything about turning people into their slaves but I think there was a way were they (vampires) could turn somebody into a vampire. Can't rememeber at the moment.

The true test will come when Koyori decides to confront Aono for the truth. I "foresee" tearful "loli-eyes" and trembling voices. Aono's defences will probably crumble faster than "Mayuko in the sun". If Koyori ends up doing NOTHING in the conclusion of Aono's story, my jaw will unhinge from disbelief, due to the rendered meaningless of Ep04 and various other scenes. I want a Chekhov's Gun, not a Red Herring. Cheers.

I've seen some speculation that there may be some deus ex machina character coming before the end of the show. I originally was going to dismiss that, but the Cross Contents section of the official site has been reconsidering.
There are 7 main characters to the show of course, but on the Cross Contents page there are *8* character tabs, with the 8th one saying basically "Character icon hidden". Which makes you wonder who that 8th character is going to be. Unless they plan on putting Sae there, we don't really have any other character that's been featured enough in the show yet. And considering Sae is lumped into the "Classmates" category on the regular area, I doubt its her. |

It could point out to the 'other Yaka' that some of us here have been talking about, since it has been speculated several times that another Yaka (other than Matsuri or Aono) is the one that revived Mayuko.
Anyway, if that happens, things could get even more interesting than now. |

With only 3 TV episodes to go, is anyone willing to speculate on the nature of the DVD-only episodes? The possibilities I see at the moment are (in order of likeliness):
1. Flashback I: Matsuri, Yorito, and Aono's past. 2. An "ending after the ending" of whatever shape and form 3. Flashback II: Hige and Gothloli's past. 4. Unrelated filler. I'm willing to bet some money on 1 and I think 4 is rather unlikely due to the nature of the show. 2 and 3 are a close call.

That's weird... On the Cross Contents page I can also see one blank tab, but it is the first one, not the eighth one. And it simply says "Please click on the icon of the character whom you would like to see." Do you mean another page?
