My interest in Sora wo Kakeru Shoujo was largely instigated by Moogy's "spiritual successor" post. I do not like either HiME (since the early encouter) or Otome. In case of the latter, I only watched S.ifr 01 and read SDB's blogging of Zwei, but it made me thinking that I would not mind something in the same vein. That was the hope for Sorakake: like the rest of the happy family in spirit, but perhaps less objectionable.

And it is. Unfortunately, it's also not very interesting. Or, rather, it's not very interesting after about ep.7. It starts very well, but then goes into unfolding of the central conflict, and loses itself there. I cleared ep.9 (the baseball filler), getting more and more bored, and pretty much watched to see what happens to Nami. Then in ep.11 they made her an agent of Nerval. What a waste, especially since OP promised more. And it was the straw that broke the camel's back.
