Here are my thoughts

Animation Quality: 8

one point off for pointy chins. Another for not going the extra mile in when it needed to.

Voice Actors: 10

It worked. Can't think of ways to make it better. I have to have lived in Japan for 10 years to offer any criticism for this series.

Script: 6

Could have been better. I really wish they would have taken more literary ( artistic ) approach to the plots and character growth

Editing: 10

This is the part that made Sola work. They inserted just the right elements and events at end of each episode to make the viewers become very curious about the next episode. They also made sure that there would be at least one 'MOE!!!' moment every episode.

Emotional Involvement: 10

All those Moe-ness, darkness emanating from the characters, and the cliff-hangers had me very engaged in this series. This was the series that I got most emotionally attached to since 'Koi kaze'.

main Opening song: 8

Need more thematic development

prelude and 1st episode opening song: 8

Quite. need more development, again

main Ending song: 9

Good. needed some theme and variation moments

BGM: 8

Mostly adequate. Could been better

Occasional insert songs: 6

Nice use of its own materials, but needed variety
