QUOTE (Masich @ Dec 28 2014, 06:32 PM)Look a UFO! .. No! Seriously! Look!, Sora No Method, Review time!
Its funny how this show was aggravating me multiple times to the point of almost dropping it. Many who have watched the show will understand my reason for it, when I say.. Shione..
I mean, at first I was getting annoyed by that Yuzuki character for being stubborn... But.. Wow... Shione! how many episodes did it take? 5-6? before she finally realized that what she was doing wouldn't work? Oh and a bunch of moments of which I was like..You are angry about being abandoned.. yet.. you knew the Big Reason why Nonoka left the city (Her mother)...
In the end, the serie did leave three episodes (11-12-13) which made up for a Final that was unbelievable! Episode 11 was aggravating at first and ended with a emotional farewell, Episode 12 was again aggravating at first and gave the feeling of the story line being ..(I rather not curse).. until a emotional moment once again at the end of it, and as final .. Episode 13 .. Just Wow, incredibly emotional! Good Lord! the ending was incredibly beautiful, having Noel return.(as expected) but honestly! the way that was executed was ..again.. incredibly well done.. bloody tear jerking moments!.
By the way.. for a sum up of episodes contents.. use Wikipedia .
Overall, My rating for Sora no Method: 6.6/10
Animation: 10/10
Story: 5/10 (It did have a unbelievable final! , but.. I still have to hold the Yuzuki and Shione card against it... which has a combo of :Enemies - Almost Friends - Enemies - Friends - Enemies and as final?? you guessed it! Friends! My god that was aggravating/annoying either works..Oh and also how Souta and Koharu had like Nothing to say/do or even being anything of help in the end!! and yet still are involved?? anyone else caught that as well?).
Characters: 5/10 (Apart from Yuzuki and Shione in personality and behavior, which at first was fine but after 3 episodes was making me angry.. leaving that aside.. From all I knew it was the story of Nonoka with Shione and Noel, Yuzuki was memorable in the first few episodes, but after it was cleared up with her, also disappeared...Still 100% thumbs up on Noel, good voice casting and personality + Behavior). Edited: If it was not for Noel, there would have been no show or story for that matter.
This serie was memorable for its final 3 episodes, the other episodes are also memorable.. but in a more annoying way.. So... what is left?? I got no clue.. Going stargazing I guess.. if only it would stop snowing >.>
I can't agree with everything but the most feels right. It had a weak story which ruined it a lot. The last episodes were very good which made up a lot.
Animation wise i liked it because i know the area where the story plays
and of course it is very colourful. Pretty relaxing on the eyes to watch this series. Characters are somewhat mixed with Noel being the very best (i still think of her as a younger made version of Erio). For me it was an okay series with a nice start and finish. For the rest you just have to survive the ordeal.
For me it is a 6.5 out of 10.
