Well, we get to see Sora outside of a secondary character role. And as far as secondary characters go, she’s probably been one of the most ignored. I was pretty surprised that she was able to get her own episode, where we get a look into what makes her who she is. It was a good episode though, the change in focus being a welcome change.

There were some moments that made this episode watchable but for the most part I was pretty bored.

Man seriously, did they really do 'that'? *checks again...*
Oh yes.. they did.. but sure, it was pretty expected to use something as original as "God Year", aaaand... it does kinda suit the anime pretty well xD
Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile.
Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(゚Д゚щ) Nope™, probably not.

I liked this episode. I wish Sora would get more time onscreen. She's got that whole nerdy and cute thing going on, she's irresistible :D

I dedicate this episode to Sora, lol.


If anyone would be able to get rid of your fears I would expect Belldandy, a goddess to be able to ^^

I did not think that Sora had problems like that, not that it is evil plot, only in the narrative would have preferred it in the end and we had been a little more than "wait" before the change after the words of Belldandy!
Still a good bet, with good designs and fluid animations.

This wasn't the best episode but it sure wasn't the worst, quite a soft and more relaxing episode in general! Let's see what's next though.

"If you're looking down at the ground, you'll lose sight of what's around you."

I actually really adored this episode. Got that end of an Aria episode feeling, which I love.
It's not about the race. It's about overcoming your fears and becoming a better you.

I like finishing animes that I start but this one is boring me to much, I think. I'm not binge-watching it, hoping that would help. Does that make it worse? I'm also watching it dubbed and I realize that it adds cheesiness to everything but still.... wow I'm bored

This episode focuses on Sora and her crippling lack of confidence in herself. It's got a good message but this one was never one of my favorites from the series. 2 stars out of 5!

Neat seeing the gang mentor Sora, and it was nice to learn a bit about the Auto Club's main administrator, who tends to be fairly introverted most of the time.

It's okay filler. She's scared! I wish Belldandy would teach me to drive a go-cart.

An episode about the probably most boring character in the show. Next one is a beach episode though.

And this why I love Belldandy as a character, kind, caring, understanding and was able to help someone out in need. In this case, Sora Hasegawa who up until that episode was pretty much a minor character. I wish we could get more screen time but at least we got to see what she’s like. 
I didn’t think she would get a solo episode for herself but there ya go it was a nice little episode on the whole, nice change of pace, it’s not really taking away anything from the main plot but a nice change of pace regardless.
