I think it's okay. At least this way there won't be any sequel.

Matsuri is a likable character, friendly, mysterious, and her smile is memorable. There are things we never get to know about her, but I guess it's okay. I'll miss seeing her do and say new things.

As for Aono, I wasn't bothered by her Rei-like characterization. It's a pleasant and nostalgic experience. I can't make up my mind about her yet, I have to see 11-13. There should be more to her history, I hope.

Here it is! It's sola DVD-only episode 1 (or if you want to continue on, it could be episode 14)! And judging from overall plot, it seems to be taken place in the earlier episodes when Aono was still in the hospital. And yes, this episode has something that it was missing in the original broadcast. And that's......SWIMSUIT and also HOT SPRINGS. Moment I found amusing were:

[spoiler]- Mayuko kicking Takeshi's balls. Ouch! :shock:

- One of Mana's friends went all "Rena" (not psychotic killer crazy though) and starts molesting Koyori and later Mayuko for being too cute. She went as far as wanting to take them home!

- Yorito walking in on Aono's swimsuit posing session. Talk about awkward. :lol: [/spoiler]

And to reemphasize the most important moment in this entire freakin' episode:

That totally sealed the deal with me! 8-)

Supposedly there's another DVD-only episode coming soon. I wonder what that one is going to be about.

I've gotten up to episode 11.

I have to say, I underestimated this series hugely, everytime I think I know what's about to happen, something else happens.

Good stuff, looking forward to watching the final few.

So,out of the 2 DVD specials,the first one was the all-time classic hot spring episode(some quite fun scenes and Matsuri fanservice) while the second one was the prequel to the 1st episode(last minutes of it has nice amv footage).

And don't forget the ultimate quote from Sola:Sae's "Beardy Dandy". :D :D
Simply hilarious especially when she added the engrish "mysterious" before it in the 1st DVD special.

You only watch Sola to hear Matsuri's voice and see her smiles. Mana and her sister's names are already in my death note, along with the Udon girl and her friend in the anime - Kimikiss pure rouge.

If you were a true fan you'd buy it. You'd buy all the anime you saw, then get into debt and live out on the streets with no computer or TV to watch it on, which wouldn't matter since you had the DVDs (which you can't watch)

That's what a real man would do :amv:
