Review Sola

this cake better not be a lie

Yorito is a young man who loves the sky and taking pictures of it. One night he runs across a mysterious girl named Matsuri who has never seen the blue sky before. As she has nowhere to go Yorito takes her in. As it turns out Matsuri has ties to both Yorito and his bedridden sister that could only be guessed at.

Loli in a box

Sola is a thirteen episode long romantic drama about a boy and a magical love interest. It is also a bit of a tragedy in the vein of the adaptations of KEY visual novels or EF. It also contains a bit of fighting in it but not enough that it would be considered an action series.

dude this guy is like a sky Otaku

I consider Sola to be servicable but generally unremarkable anime show. It has a decent enough premise but had some problems knowing what to do with it's characters. This is mostly because they are defined by their inherent nature rather than a goal and there isn't much to propel the plot forward. The animation is also only decent and any comparison to something like Clannad or EF really cast Sola in the role of looking like a cheap knock off.

Overall I consider Sola something that is worth watching if you are looking for a romantic drama that is more of a tearjerker than a panty shot fest but I will admit this show isn't for everyone.

Rating the bronze Dango (Clannad) for being a decent but forgettable romantic drama.
