| the conclusion of the final battle was beautifully done. matsuri looks into at aono and smiles after seeing the dawn for the first time in centuries. then she dies. the series had a beautiful ending. i have but one question... when and why did matsuri and aono(and paper yorito) part ways? |
  |
| That's it for Aono but how about Mayuko... |
 |
| Hmmm. The ending was alright. There were definitely some big holes, but despite that I still enjoyed Sola. I think that the two main reasons I enjoyed Sola was because of Matsuri and the fact that the sky was a big part (since I really love the sky as well). Overall it gets a 7/10 from me. And Matsuri gets a fav from me. :D |
 Felli disapproves of this thread. |
| i didn't find the end of the anime very sad...may be because i was mad about that it had to end like this... in the beggining i liked Matsuri and i had no bad feelings for Aono but in the end i was just praying that ***#&$*&# to die so it could be a good ending for me :/ its just not fair always the good and cute characters like Matsuri to die... no words ... lol |
~_~ ! |
| I totally hated the ending, and Aono. Score 8 -> 1. |
| Aono needs more love *huggles Aono* I love both Matsuri and Aono and I liked the ending |
| Funny, I don't feel moved, well not as much as I expected I would. Maybe I'm just seeing lots of these kind of stuff lately, so the punch has died down a bit? nah, maybe it just was my mood at the time... So Takeshi will die as an old lolicon, with a 5 year old loli by his sickbed? Her fashion taste doesn't really matter, she's too cute in her attires ayways ^^ BlueYoshi said: kei-clone said: and lol, everyone's overthinking the two cans. those don't mean anything, they're just fanservice XD Pretty much. That or Sae Sakura drank it in depression after finding out that Takeshi will never ever come back. You know, that makes so much sence! Still, never doubt of the possibilities of ghosts... ;) Since I'm one of those people that adore everything that has to do with the sky and air, I never bored of the concept, or any of the episodes either. So the series get an 8 (no lower than a 7) from me. The series look done fo me, but in the batch I got there were episodes 14-15, which I think are the OVAs. AngelLily said: The special episodes... I wonder, will they be like Air in Summer and tell the story about past Yorito, Matsuri and Aono, or will it be about the future? I really hope Mayuko and Takeshi get a happy ending... Maybe something like that? I can't wait to find out ^^ ...btw, I still haven't watched those Air OVAs... I had in mind to wath them much earlier, but I kept on putting it off, so 3 months later, I still haven't seen them. Sweet, thx for reminding me of those! :D |

| I liked Matsuri better than Aono. But nevertheless the ending was beautiful. Loved the whole anime. 9/10 |
| I am really enjoy on scene battle, also make me sad too hehee. Just only i dont like from 1st episode that Koyori always been punish and hit her head, just suggestion to punish her with look cute, like pinch her cheek. I'll give 4/5 star :D |
 |
| Pretty decent anime.. Didn't really stand out, pretty middle of the road. But okay regardless! |
    |
| Really enjoyed the ending, lots of Mana smack parts hehe. Really enjoyed the entire anime and Matsuri is definitely one of my favorite characters after watching this. <3 |
| Good ending but I don't like the fact that somehow they have forgotten the past |
Live well - Laugh often - and Love much |
| Did not like how Matsuri and Yorito end up die, but that posible because im a hopeless romaticater, else a great serie. |
 |
| Overall I like the show....though this was not really a happy ending. |
| It was a decent anime ^^ I don't know if I'll rate it 6 or 7 yet. |
     |
| Screw everybody who believe this ending to be fine :( ... I didn't get this emotional in ages, I have been crying all day... ... if at least they wouldn't have forgotten about them then it would have been fine up to some point... but this was just far too messed up. ;( ;( Kotori said: I totally hated the ending, and Aono. Score 8 -> 1. For me it was 8 -> considering 10 -> 1 |

| great ending to a great series i really liked how matsuri gave her life for Aono and let Aono live as a human and the last scene with the tomato bean soup was awesome as well xD its good to see how they remembered Yorito and Aono even after all that happened and how Koyori and Aono became good friends again :) now its time for the dvd specials :D and also the fight was good :3 |
 |
| All those who deserved their happiness didn't get it. And the one person who didn't deserve anything walks away with the happy ending. If Aono had the maturity to restrain her borderline incestuous obsession with Yorito and hostility towards everyone, they all could have lived peacefully. That girl made the ones she 'loved' miserable, and they end up sacrificing their lives for her sake. How is that fair? After all the lies and attacks, she didn't deserve a second chance. It's too bad. I really enjoyed this series overall, but the ending brought it down completely. |
 |
| I bet if you tell anybody that has watched the first episodes, that the serie will end this way, (s)he won't believe you xD It was nice, I'll give it an 8 BTW, not from this episode, but... |
| I am glad I stuck with Aono as my favorite character. It payed out :D Too bad the doll girl (just can't remember her name) couldn't become human. 9/10 |
haisaki said: I've always wondered why they didn't just slightly open the curtains and sit at an angle where the light rays don't make contact with them so they can look up into the sky blissfully. Unfortunately, that never happened. It would then throw out the whole "looking up at the sky" promise if that could happen. Anyways, I felt it was a bittersweet ending. I didn't really like Aono or the Protagonist very much >.< I got really confused when they were flashing back and forth. I totally got left into the dark.(No pun intended) Otherwise, got a few laughs here and there. Music was pretty well done though. And oh the cliffhanger ending strikes again! Two cans at the end, could they still be alive? Though I can't say for sure, I believe they are very much "alive" and happy ;D Don't know how the whole "life and death" system works in their universe. 7/10 Wasn't bad or great. Good Anime to watch if you're into Romance and Drama. |
| Even though it started out with a rather boring first episode and a somewhat annoying male lead, the series really started to gain momentum around the midway point, finishing very strongly with a pretty good ending. There was enough mystery to keep things interesting and the big twist - paperboy - was a good one. Bittersweet is definitely the best word to describe it. Matsuri was easily my favorite character. Mana was very impressive as well. While I understand the Aono hate, I don't agree with it. I'm glad she came to appreciate what Yorito and Matsuri did for her and moved forward with her life. |
 |
| Aono didn't deserve such a happy ending.. The ending is kinda bad but I liked the story overall. I feel bad for Matsuri and Yorito because they would have deserved it to live, idk but I never liked Aono that much. |
| Wow it did made me feel sad and with few tears. I still don't know if this is a happy ending or bad one. But I did like it. Overall it was an enjoyable series. I wanted Matsuri and Yorito to end up together but it seems like in the end they did end up together. But for some reason I feel sad fro Aono. 8/10 for me. |
| If it's possible, I wanted Yorito and Matsuri ended up together alive. For Aono, how do i put it, I don't kinda like her. But, if that was what Matsuri and Yorito wanted to be, let it be. Actually, this series is good. However, the number of episodes is way too few. The time that I spent on watching this Anime ended in just less than 5 hours. I have been feeling unstable un until now since the day I finished watching it. From my point of view, The ending of this seires "Sola" creates both Sadness and Happiness. To compare them both, it seems Sadness is greater than Happiness. If possbile, I want the author and director to make another side-stories like Movies or OVAs. :( |
| is it just me or this was a bitter ending? : i mean both of the main characters died and the one that annoyed me gets to live? : and they're like living for yorito now...live your own life wtf!? the two cans at the end represented to me: "it would be nice if yorito and matsuri were alive right?well **** you they're both dead :D" it was a decent anime,anyway :) 7/10 |

| It was a okay ending. |
 |
| Ending was slow since it pretty much ended towards the start of the episode leaving the rest without much to do. Overall the show was damn good. Really liked the plot and characters a lot. 9/10 |
 |
| I like this anime, but it's not excelent. The opening song and aesthetic is from Air's. Sky's premise fits very well to this emotive anime (good), but almost all chapters are slow, very slow until five minutes to end when something happens and CHAN CHAN you're catched. XD And ending is good, i like it, is coherent to Sola's plot. :) I see the 13 chapters all toghether. O.o! 8/10 :D (Mild touching anime, but is not on the level of: Kanon 2006, Clannad after story (Ch 18 OMG!), and Air's finale.) See ya! |
Thalandor46 said: Marathoned sola over the weekend, so it starts out with a plus for being a show that was marathonable. It was a bit of a slow start, but once Aono was out of the hospital, the show really picked up and I just kept watching. I liked a lot of the characters, and I liked how the mystery of the past was revealed and the puzzle pieces were put together. But what I really struggled with was the main story. I had trouble understanding the conflict. There only thing preventing everyone from living out their happy lives is Aono's unreasonable jealousy. Might I add, jealousy over her brother, not even a romantic relationship. This kind of plot has been done before, sure, but it's been done much better. It just didn't come off all that well in sola, and as a result, the ending felt kind of weak. Take that factor out, and you have a solid show. Overall, 8/10. I would haven't written my thoughts about Sola much better than this comment! And I'm marathoned it too!! |
| This show was really lacking and I feel like they could have done so much more with the plot because it really wasnt that terrible of a story It bored me to death sometimes and it wasnt really hitting me emotion wise like some other good romances have. Matsuri was really the only thing that kept me watching A very dissapointing 7/10 for me |
| well i guess its a happy ending....for aono, hopefully she will move on and be happy |
     |
| I was expecting somewhat of a "happy" ending...you know when they all live happily together. Overall i really like this anime, interesting turns here and there. Some parts have rooms for improvement. Looking forward to reading the manga. |
| Happy ending was out of the question when Aono went all Yandere. A fitting ending for a decent story. |
| huh? |
| Well at least Aono bacame friends again with Koroyi and Mana, that way she can live without being alone.. Good ending, but it was kinda sad.. |
| There's a decent story in here. Pretending to be a straight romance than turning into a action-drama that's more about two girls than the male lead (and killing off the couple to leave the one girl the only survivor) is fairly interesting but the way it plays out is kind of boring. Spending half the series on romance strikes me more as wasting time than anything else since there's not even incremental moves toward what turns out to be the real story. Too many of the supposed highly-charged scenes are disposed of with cliche executions. So what it really feels like is the first half of a romance series stitched to the second half of a supernatural action-drama. No work is done to bring the series to where it eventually climaxes which doesn't make a lot of sense in retrospect. Matsuri knew the "real" Yorito so why isn't she surprised to meet his double centuries later, bearing the same name? Maybe she just forgot what he looked like, but that makes for a pretty boring story. |

| You know this is a good anime when someone who abhors sad endings - especially the loss of memories among friends - actually watched through the end (despite being spoiled) and enjoyed it thoroughly. I still feel sorry for Mana, though. She kinda got left hanging after her last meeting with Yorito. I'll admit I watched the first seven episodes over the period of a year. The show just got started way too slow. But once I got into the last four episodes, my rating jumped from a 6/10 to a 9/10. If the whole thing had been like the last four episodes, this would certainly be a 10/10 for me. As it is, I'm giving this a 9/10 for the slow start and plot holes. |

| This serie was fine so 6/10... fine. |
Zel said: Meh, didn't like it... it could have ended better... I didn't really want Aono to be the one to become a human, I wanted that girl who was with Takeshi to be the one. Me too, same here. :\ |
