sola Ep. 10
So this episode rules out my original theory of Yorito being spawned from the thoughts of Aono and/or Matsuri from before. Thinking back, I should’ve really at least ruled out the Matsuri out of that equation since it was clear that Matsuri found it odd that Yorito actually existed. Looking at a different question, how will Yorito die? Would Aono have to die first? How is Matsuri going to disappear with Yorito? Will they? I guess since yaka powers don’t work on the sword, you would think that Yorito would’ve died…except he didn’t. With Matsuri’s death, will Mayuko or Aono return to normal? Will both of them refuse and just accept their fate?
With three episodes left, I’m curious as to what else this series is going to throw my way. Nearly all information has been revealed already (or so we think), so I’m not sure as to how the rest of the episodes are going to play out. I think one flashback episode that was dedicated to telling the story of the original Yorito would be a good idea as I’d like to learn about what his original plan for showing Matsuri the sky was. As my train of thought lead from sola to Kanon (as sola is authored by the main writer of Kanon), then to AIR, I’m wondering if the thirteenth episode will actually be a real episode or not since AIR’s thirteenth episode was just a recap episode. sola’s thirteenth episode is going to be named ソラ, so this could really go two ways. I really hope that it’s going to be an actual episode.
The series is shaping up to end in a manner similar to AIR. The series is not over yet but you have a general idea of what’s going to happen in the final episode. You know how it’s going to end but you wish it would end differently. This powerful thought of “wishing it ain’t so” is the key reason why AIR is a series that is so dear to me. Though you never know, they could pull a 『舞-HiME』 even though I can’t really see that happening. Of course, to be completely fair, I wasn’t expecting that series to end the way it did, so I guess sola could possibly do the same and end up being a huge disappointment.
