Thread: sola

    sola

    Preview released by Doremi-Sola:
    http://a.scarywater.net/doremi/%5BDo...5D.avi.torrent

    Not much information available on what the series is going to be about, but from the previews it seems like it'll be romance with a bit of action.

    It's a collaboration project from the writer of Kanon and Da Capo.

    Thanks for the link.

    Doremi-Sola released a joint as well(though I'll probably stick with Lunar's version):

    Doremi usually subs from Chinese translations, so I always try to avoid them.

    Hmm... Based on the first episode this looks like it could be a vampire story (or just porphyric otherwise, but all things considered they were at least hinting strongly towards something unnatural). That, of course, suits me better than anything else. There are never too many vampire stories.

    I still have a persistent problem of having hard time picturing Mamiko 'Yakumo Tsukamoto' Noto in any role involving any real action, though...

    Hmm, is this a H-game adaptation? Usually they're quite weak, boring and filled with a bunch of meaningless fluff. Hm, I'll dl and see what's up.

    FSN and Tsukihime were H-game adaptations. And if you call them weak, boring and filled with a bunch of meaningless fluff, well, all I can say our tastes must differ at least by 180 degrees.

    Thumbs up

    From what I saw of this before the first episode I also thought it was going to be 'fluff', but I figured I'd check it out anyway. I'm glad I did, I can't wait to see what happens next. I'm not sure what else it could be but this really doesn't seem like your typical vampire anime; I'm hoping it turns out to be something more interesting.

    That's why I said usually in my post.

    Edit: Watched it. Thought it was decent, nothing much happened until the end.

    From the info threads at Lunar, this is written by the scenario writer for one of the Kanon's (the games I think). He left Key after finishing Kanon for something that was never published.

    sola is not based off any game that I can find, h-game or otherwise.

    Character designer from Da Capo and Canvas2 (sola's characters look a lot like the ones from Canvas2). Director is from Utawarerumono.

    Let's hope the second ep will reveal a bit more of the nature of this show:

    Episode 2 - Lunar

    Edit: It did answer some questions, at least technical ones, while any story related questions still remain largely unanswered (and may remain so till the end). Still, who knows, this could turn out to be a small mix of sadness and joy, like Iriya no Sora, and others like it. I wouldn't mind that.

    not much to say other then this wont have a happy ending
    Favorite Gotwoot Mod moment: "Why is everyone in that show black? The art and music are pretty good, and the voice acting is alrite as well......but i can't stand that guy who follows afro around. Hes so, well, black, for the lack of a better term (well thats not true, there is a better term, but i wont use it here)" Assassin

    Yeah, it seems like the type of anime where the girl either dies, be forgotten, or disappears... *sniff* *sniff*

    Episode 3 - Lunar

    God, Mana is so annoying. Get a clue, if someone doesn't want you there, or tells you nothing's wrong fuck off. She even goes off to search his house. The nerve.

    I guess there must be much history there. Probably she has used his house like a second home for herself, cooking and taking care of things. God knows such things probably don't happen in the real lfie, but in anime often enough. Considering that, it's not so out of the question for her to barge in and search the house. Obviously in the past the dude wouldn't have minded at all.

    Well, nothing much certainly happened in this episode. Other than we all learned never to buy avocado ramen...

    This show sucks.

    That's all, and no fake accent / retard English this time. The characters are boring. Plot = old. I can't believe I wasted 48 minutes of pot watching two episodes of this garbage. There's got to be a billion new series coming out better than this one.

    Take two of these muchachos and call us in the morning. Yeah, call us, we'll be drunk.

    Episode 4 - Lunar
    Episode 5 - Lunar
    Episode 6 - Lunar
    Episode 7 - Lunar

    Edit: Kind of hard to say anything definite about this series, even with half the series behind. One quite evident fact is there isn't anything strong in this series. The characters are quite indecisive and few of them have displayed any higher goals of their own. The story doesn't look like it would shed the past and concentrate on the present or future, even though there isn't anything that impressive in the past either. All in all, light stuff.

    But I still watch this happily enough. At least there isn't much I would dislike. And with the kind of an ending episode 7 had, the series even presented its first cliffhanger...

    Ho... If I said the name could be romanized as "Sora" instead, I bet the connection would be evident indeed. Yeah, in fact I didn't realise it before seeing the first episode, when it of course became more than obvious. Back when I saw the name for the first time, I was thinking it comes from some European language, or something.
