Aside from the first episode, I think this has been my favorite episode of Hatenkou Yuugi yet. It was a simple tale of wanting to see the sky (which reminds me of sola), but, as always, the actions of Rahzel,... | | |

| 6:29am | Sola vs. ef: Faces |  | | | Owen noticed a few minutes ago at IRC that sola and ef share the character designer. Indeed, the resemblance is there, especially en-face, like Chihiro above. The main difference (and again, I only saw one episode and Astro says that the art improves) is that of implementation. Closeups were good; the... | | |

| 10:48pm | Sola’s licensed (maybe) |  | | | Apparently, Sola is picked by Bandai Visual, as reported by Beta Waffle. I hated sola’s art in the first episode, although Astro wrote: “the animation quality has actually improved with every episode, and there are times where it is absolutely stunning”. Why didn’t they start... | | |

| 6:42pm | Wallpaper Week Day 6 | | | | In many other posts I’ve already stated how much I love sola, so I guess it isn’t really necessary to repeat it here once again.
