Sola which I believe is actually sora=sky, prounced in japanese accent. Just looking at the title and watching the OP theme makes one think this is just a regular romance anime. Unfortunately, its not. The story starts off at a slow pace where the typical meeting between the boy n girl happens. However,as the story goes deeper, it begins to get twisted n tangled, n begins to unfold the dark side of the story. Only when you watch the whole series, then can you clear off the uncertainty that shrouded the complicated plot.

The action,romance,supernatural,drama genres are beautifully integrated into this single anime. All these elements make this anime marvelous. It has sufficient romance-drama which does not get too boring. Audience will love its brilliant animation. The story ends in the most preferred way, but in a sense that makes you feel like, "I just can't get over with it...". The major twist in the middle of the story is the main 'curiosity trigger'. How well the title fits the story is another reason to be considered of why this anime is absolutely wonderful. ( show less)

Anime is amazing because it leaves me feeling bittersweetness afterwards. It was so unexpected and I cried at the ending.

My friends and I have a theory that all anime that are 13 episodes long have some sort of heartbreaking or infuriating ending. We have named it 'The Curse of the 13 Episode Long Anime'. Sola is no exception.
I found and AMV online of the anime and it looked promising. The style was attractive, the story looked interesting and the animation was good, so I was enticed into watching the anime. After all it's only a short little anime, right? You can't possibly get ridiculously attached to characters in that short space of time, right? WRONG.

After all it's only a short little anime, right? You can't possibly get ridiculously attached to characters in that short space of time, right? WRONG.
Our story begins with a fairly generic anime boy. He's not got a very inspiring character but you can't complain about him as he's fairly agreeable. Generic anime boy meets short moe, tomato juice drinking, hat wearing anime girl kicking something (something all anime should begin with!) We also discover boy has a sister who looks nothing like him at all... but we'll let that slide. Boy rescues Hat Moe girl and they have a nice little time with on of the most adorable pairings EVER. Then episode 6 strikes and the plot-line arrives.
You see, episodes 1-6 the anime is some sort of romantic comedy and then becomes some horrific romance drama between Generic anime boy, Moe Hat girl and... Sister that shouldn't be boys sister?
Fortunately for us sane Otaku's it's more about sibling love not incest love which is good because... well... I'm not going to lie incest isn't cute. Knock it off you strange pro-incest fan-girls! (Although twincest is a different matter completely! P:)
The plot spirals into a depressing pit of darkness until the end and, of course, because you fell in love with the characters in episodes 1-6, you have to see it through till the bitter end.
Like I said the animation is very attractive if not a little simplistic at times. But not lazy. There isn't particularity much violence but when there is it is exciting and character designs and personality's are good.
The plot isn't particularity mind blowing but it makes a statement enough and is excellent considering it's such a short anime.
And the depressing ending? It's worth it. It's endearing and bitter-sweet not horrific and hearbreaking.
Over all it's a very enjoyable anime that is definitely worth watching! ( show less)

To me Sola was one of those "need something to watch" shows. Overall it was great and i might even buy it but if you just need something average to watch Sola is the way to go. The story was pretty new to me even though it can be predictable at times. I found it to be written quite well and it kept me entertained throughout the entire series. I hope this review helps and pushes you to put this series on your list.

Wonderful story, Wonderful characters and a Wonderful ending!
This anime has a very captive story that'll make tou truly adictive to it! Each episode is a total surprise, and it ends always with some "shocking" development :D it just made me watch more and more (really, i couldn't stop o.0 lol) You'll just love the story development. And it's really well made for only 13 epi. They have put it perfectly, with the few epi they had.
So i really~ suggest this anime to everyone!!! You'll also may drop a tear at the end ;)
PS: "sad" endings aren't ( read more)

Sola is a pretty good series that takes some traditional anime elements and blends them with a new twist. I would not consider this an action oriented anime, but rather a series with a story that works on developing the characters through more realistic and rational responses to their situation, i.e. not everybody is clueless. :-)
While the ending felt rushed, it did bring a reasonable amount of "closure". A nice series that is worth the watch.

This was a well done anime, very character was well developed for only 12 episodes or so and each of them were memorable in their own way. The animation was beautiful, especially the sky, the clouds are nicely done xD
It was dark, and the story line was extremely well thought out because most things were so unexpected. This anime was a joy to watch :D
