Decent episode, though it was pretty cute.
I really hope for Aono to be able to get home soon too, she's just overly cute(?).
And I did hear a desu!

I agree, certainly a nice episode, specially with Aono, even tough she always throw those fluffy dolls in the basket, she gotten attached too it and even remember how many.
I hope indeed Aono get dismissed from the hospital soon aswell and get home, though there will be quite some confussing if she gets home and see the mysterious girl.

Still thinking it's moving way to slow... well at least we got some background on the characters I guess.
I'm thinking that small girl is the same as Matsuri... after all she stays in a box during the day and only comes out at night... to dine.. so far..

Yeah there are resemblance between Aono and Matsuri, but that kinda came too the light in episode 2 a 3 I think when she said that the curtain wasn't allowed to open.

But can't be totally sure yet, the answers are still to cloudy if you ask me, think that when Aono gets out we actually get too see the answers.

It was certainly a pretty episode. Besides from what has already been said, I'm also curious what they've planned since it's indeed moving a bit slow. But who knows, they might throw in some episodes full of action. Still liking it.

Well, the action should be getting soon or it will just be at the end, it aint a big anime after all, and considering that small blond one seems to be the enemy of Matsuri somehow, I think the action starts the moment that Aono gets out hospital and that basically through them that guy gets the lead of where Matsuri has been hiding, sort of that is and that the action starts from there.

Koyori was sooooooo cute. Other than that, ok episode. Still moving to slow and not enough Matsuri. Looking forward to next episode especially since that one guy noticed Yorito at the end.

Yeah but what´s the deal with that, I haven´t seen the guy doing research futher on Yorito what his reltion is with Matsuri, so why would he be looking with such a cramped face if he doesn´t know the deal with this Yorito.
Ofcourse it gonna make the next episode probably very interresting, but its kinda fague how he get like that without any details.

I have to say that episode was...quite underwhelming. I understand this was written by the same person from Kanon, but I didn't expect Kanon-like storytelling in such a way that every character had her own story. I thought it was just one main story revolving around Matsuri and all the other characters are there for support. This sub-story episode really caught me off-guard, yet it would have been fine if it was really a sad meaningful episode. Instead this episode didn't have nearly as much impact as any of Kanon's stories...so instead it felt lame to me.

I'm starting to complain about how slow things are too. I don't mind if the plot is slow but if the same things happen over and over (the guy and the "doll" always eating at that restaurant) then it's not slow-paced, it's wasting time. in a 13 episode series time is a luxury that shouldn't be wasted.

oh well, this has really been the only episode that really disappointed me so far. Hopefully it's just a small fluke. Moar Matsuri! Moar Mamiko~

Well I am mostly bugged a bit about Aono being in that hospital too long 2 episodes max 3 episodes are fine by me but after 4 episodes she is still there and then yeah that guy with the little girl in restaurant I want them too make a move or something.

I can hardly imagine how they wanna make it really sweet with action in just 9 more episodes.

I am really unsure about what to think of this anime at the moment. It's been 4 episodes (i would usually give it a score by now) and i'm not quite sure what to think of it. I really hope either Aono gets of the hospital in Episode 5, or the goatee guy finds Yorito again.

I like it anyway. Koyori is so cute and nice. :3

You need to remember that this, Sola, is adapted from a manga, not a dynamic visual novel, like in Kanon's case.
Moar Matsuri~ <=== I totally agree with that though!

Pretty good episode, a little slow but still pretty good. Nice to see Matsuri has a weird taste for the dolls as well.

Cute episode ^^ Finally some movement in the story (or at least not pure slice-of-life) and we got to know a little of Koyori and Aono's past.

Nothing exciting happened in this episode. But it was cute though, I felt like someone was going to get killed at some point.

i don't care for either Yuki Nagato #2 or Kokoro #2 to enjoy this episode :-)

Definitely the most boring episode yet. Doesn't help that I just failed my driving test as well, so maybe I should hold judgement :P

Alright, I take it back, this series looks pretty decent and might as well try to enjoy it.
However I do feel a bit sad about Aono, being in a hospital all alone is nothing short of depressing. Hope she gets better and we can see her role in this story.

I can't disagree that the main plot doesn't budge in this episode, but I kind of like it telling a story in one episode. The virtually self-contained one-episode story is a rarely seen form in anime. That said, it was kind of simplistic and pat, really, (and Koyuri is still too precious) but there being a relationship in a romance anime that doesn't revolve around the male lead is a pleasant surprise.

So I think this series is trying, even if just a little, when my prejudices made me worry it was lazy pandering dreck.

An episode more focused on the sisters of the two protagonists. Nothing to special but rather cute! Up to the first special: episode 4.5!

I don't mind the slow pace, but it's only 13 episodes. I hope they don't cram the main plot and give us a shitty ending
