For those of you that actually read my episode reviews, you’ll know what I felt about sola when I reviewed its final episode. Now for those of you that don’t read those entries, in summary, sola impressed me so much that it has earned a spot in my personal list of top ten Japanese animations ever.

In terms of anime tastes, I have a tendency to not share similar interests with people I personally know. How odd it is that I am actually with the majority for once.
