I honestly wasn't expecting you to like this series, but I'm glad you did, as it really is deserving of all the praise it gets... it's beautiful, it's moving, and it does have the most mysterious, yet somehow believable magic of any anime I've seen. I disagree with Bruno, though: the Air movie was not very good IMHO. They dropped almost all of the supernatural elements, and turned the plot of this series into more of a typical tragic love story. The only thing that makes the movie worthwhile is its highly unique art style, with its whispy over-lit backgrounds. Also, before I forget to say something in the other topic: yes, the first season of Someday's Dreamers was also very good, and I highly recommend checking it out sometime, as I can virtually guarantee you would absolutely love it. It has psgels written all over it. (: -Tom Wow, you summed up my own thoughts on Air perfectly.

You're right - it's love or hate, and it's somehow special. It's also one of the few anime that made me cry. I also don't like it when some people are disappointed by the last arc. Just because it was puzzling, depressing, and all, it needs more attention and thought. More than just perception and emotion that is. I’ve been waiting for you to review this awesome series.

I didn't like the sudden break the last arc added to the story, bringing the well developed pacing to a path of desperation an depression. The subplots developed within the frst arc are tied toghether in the second arc and we learn the happenings of 1k years before. In the third arc you'd long for a conclusion and some continuity, but everithing is changed into depression and sadness. Everything was developed before, was discarted and you're left with three episode showing Misuzu slow and unevitable fall. The main lead char also disappears suddenly at the end of the second arc! Desperate, boring and depressing IMHO. Only the first 2 arcs deserve a full 90/100, but the last ruined it all! I rated it 70/100 <a href="http://animeclick.lycos.it/anime.php?scelta=2&amp;titolo=Air%20-%20TV&amp;CodAnime=457" rel="nofollow">Here</a> Well… this is not a single anime but three really different animes pasted together.

I watched Kanon 2002 after AIR and got "Meh", then Kanon 2006 came and it was more "Meh" &gt;_&gt; I don't know, for me, the magic system in AIR just flowed smoothly for me, every magical thing finally related back to Kanna, her curse and her feathers and damn, her fate 1000 years ago was cruel ;_; When I watched AIR, I didn't really get into Kanna's arc because it was so short and flew by so fast I couldn't really feel much for the characters, but the Summer OVA fixed that up nicely ^^ I myself don't have the "KYOANI IS GOD" mindset, I only cheer when they announce they're doing another Key title because I know it won't be butchered XD More of a Key fan, now hoping for a KyoAni adaptaion of Key's kinetic novel, Planetarian. If it comes out, do watch it, I bet my life on it that it'll be good ^^ MISUZU BANZAI!! Spoilers wahahaha

But if you liked the anime you will like the movie better. Not that there is something new, but the story is better told in the movie, at less for me. cya Man, watched this anime long time ago, cried in the last epi too.

I hated Air and loved Kanon. I think it's because Air was tragedy with a message of hopelessness (was anyone better off in the end?!?), whereas Kanon was a harem series with a message of hope (to the point of being cheesy about it). Well, KyoAni makes great anime. I like that they can have all these different styles, so that everyone can have at least one show to like. :-) Strange. I hated Air and loved Kanon.

I became a fan of Kyoani because it was their first series I had seen, back when it came out. I really don't like Kanon, so it's funny how different the two are. CLANNAD, on the other hand makes me happy because it's like a Kanon+AIR mix. The only other series I genuinely enjoyed by them other than AIR and Clannad, was FMP: The Second Raid. : / I also wait patiently for the day they work on something new. (ie not Haruhi, Key, Lucky Star) Not including FMP cause I'm waiting desperately for another series D: Yeah, AIR is one of Kyoani’s better works.
