Yesterday, I decided to take a little break and watch this special OVA episode and I have to say that it was well worth my time. It gave me a very nostalgic feeling seeing the characters of sola in motion again. Even though I don’t generally have an opinion for Mamiko Noto’s role, I just can’t help but love her voice as Matsuri here. It’s slightly different from her usual voice and I think that it’s very fitting.

This episode was just absolutely hilarious. I didn’t want to cause a ruckus over here (as I’ve been told by Sam that I can laugh pretty loud) so I covered my mouth throughout most of the episode, but let me tell you, it wasn’t easy. I particularly liked the part where Takeshi first meets Yorito at the pool. The way Takeshi just starts fighting and then suddenly stops once he realizes that Matsuri wasn’t with Yorito was just so funny.

Watching this episode was a painful reminder to me that sola has ended. At least there’s still the final OVA from the fifth DVD and the manga. I definitely need to get my hands on the manga though I need to first double check to see if my cousin secured a copy of it or not while he was in Japan. If not, it’s totally going onto my list of items that I want my cousins to get me when they go there next month.
