I do think they share some common threads, but the execution felt really different for both series. In particular, I'm still sort of upset that we didn't get an equivalent of AIR's Summer arc in Sola. I would have been very interested in learning just what happened to Matsuri, Aono, and Yorito centuries ago that started this whole thing. That would have been very helpful for fleshing out the character development, which is rather necessary given the rushed conclusion of the character conflicts.<br/><br/>Of course, AIR isn't without its faults too. I still don't get why we needed a recap episode, when the earlier parts felt so rushed. >_< I think some people have already compared the two quite a bit.

Of course, AIR isn’t without its faults too. I still don’t get why we needed a recap episode, when the earlier parts felt so rushed. >_<
