In terms of story, Sola is quite unique. What seems to be at first a general, boy meets girl, boy falls in love type of story, it is actually a bit more complex than that. It does follow the usual routine though, but along the way, it is not the usual events that lead to the usual ending. So anyway, the story to me is very nice. It gives a refreshing new outlook on the romance genre. Sola also incorporates some supernatural themes into it, which makes it a little extra special. The story can get a little boring sometimes, since at the beginning, it is very slow paced. However, the last few episodes are jam-packed full of action scenes and good dialogue so it definitely balances it out.

“Nice story that incorporates more than just romance.”
Art
Exceptional. That basically sums all of it up. I am very picky about character designs and this is definitely in my top 5 regarding art and character designs/background quality. Must watch if you are looking for good art. Naru Nanao definitely is a master at drawing characters. She also drew Da Capo and the Ef series so you know its good.

“Wonderful designs and backgrounds. Very nice and cute characters”
Enjoyment/Sound
Well, Sola was an enjoyable show for me. The first few episodes were a bit boring, and it was because of the art that kept me going. Good thing I did, since I really enjoyed it towards the end. The BGM was very good. The OP and ED were nice, as well as the animation that went with it. No problems with this section, except that the first few eps are a tad bit slow paced.
