And, yeah, you of all people should be watching this show. Better (slightly) late than never, though.

I'm downloading episode 2 as we're speaking about it here. There is nothing to spoil for me since I already seen summary and stuff at RancomC so feel releived
And about Matsuri, the fact I already said she Spoiler:
I heard rumours flying around about this anime having 13 episodes. I kinda thought that 26 would fit it, but maybe 13 comes in better. Still, with all those directions they can go to I bet they easily can fill 26 episodes |

Anyway, I watched episode 2 and I'm amazed. Spoiler for episode 2:
Spoiler:
Spoiler:
It is officially announced as a 13 episode series. However, if they can keep this consistency in all the matters, I can see it succeeding even on this short timespan (and mind, I'm not a big fan of single-kur series).

The following is based on [moyism]'s fantastic 1024x564 RAW, and references to Omni's summary on Random Curiosity, sola 02.
(Go figure, my computer hangs when I try to play 1024x564 .MKV files, but has no problem with the equivalent .AVI file) Preliminary Thoughts on Ep02: ---- ---- Spoiler:
Cheers.

Well, so far i have only seen the summary at RandomC, but seems like this is turning out how i want it to be - very little action and lots of character development.
Spoiler:
Bleh...not much to add at this point. I refuse to watch the RAWs, so i will wait for the SUBs before forming opinions. Quote:
As for why this doesn't seem to get much attention - well, i suspect it has largely to do with it being a "fresh" work - there are no fan hordes of the "source material", so i am not surprised that it isn't the most popular thing. Though the staff behind it is a good one. This surely seems to be one of the shows i am looking towards the most, along with Romeo x Juliet, Nanoha StrikerS and Hayate. Now excuse me - i need to go mop in the corner for a few days untill the SUBs become available.

Just scanned the randomC spoilers .... looking hopeful for something more thoughtful than wackavamp ... very interesting take on a type of person of the night rather than just western cliche. So far I'm happy I spotted this one.

I think you kind of represent the stereotype of "wandering around in despair because Kanon is over" . And to put it bluntly I believe that sola is the closer show to Kanon airing at the moment. So yes, it would seem to be a safe bet for the cathegory.

Ah shoot. I finally remembered what I forgot to mention in my preliminary write-up. Did anybody else think of Air(TV)'s OP when sola's OP started? The build-up seems similar.
Also, the music during the fast tempo of cloud stills sounded like part of NGE's OP. Anyone else with similar thoughts? Cheers.

I like to repeat something I wrote in Hinano's blog
http://www.minaidehazukashii.com/hin...04/13/sola-02/ My friend always like to say this about Shakespeare ” The plot is not the important thing in Shakespeare. It is the emotions the characters are feeling and the plot is a mere device to bring out intense emotion in the characters. ” So far, I detect everyone having one or two serious mental issues that needs to be addressed. I do not know about the tragedy, but up to this point, the focus has been on emotions the characters were feeling, or hints of torrent emotions underneath calm surface. It is my hope that they develope this to its fullest potential, but I doubt that will happen, for that is like pursuing 'high art' instead of the 'money'.
