Same people made it both stories are in the slice of life, fantasy genre.
Do I need to say anythign at all? Kawaii girls that you can choose from! imo kanon is better cuz it has more kawaii girls.
also done by Kyoto Animation, and produced by Visual Art's/Key. Looking for sad stories like in Air? Kanon is your answer, but twice as long and just as good.
Both stories are quite touching and deep and both are created by the same company.
Both series pictures the lives of a main person (Yuuichi/Yukito). They both meet a girl (Ayu/Misuzu) who is a little childish, and becomes very close to the main character. Both will make you cry after a few episodes, as they both turn and twist the story all around.
Besides being made by the same creator, both these series are sweet and sentimental. Best suited if you're looking to shed a tear or two.
One guy and a lot of different girls with there own beautiful arcs. Both have supernatural elements and are animated by the same studio, Kyoto Animation.
Fantasy and Romance with bits of Comedy thrown in
KyoAni does sad girls with sad stories yet again, but this time with an easier to understand plot.
Air was really similar to Kanon in the style and presentation but really takes a more emotional route and was def an anime to watch.
Both are very sad. Funny at other times.
Both are based on Visual Novels done by KEY. The story contains that Air feel about it, but it's still got it's own vibe throughout the series.
Both have the same atmosphere. They both basicly tell the story about a guy whho comes to a town and helps the sad girls in it...
Both series are based off games from the company Key for starters. The first plot of Kanon (with Makoto) is extremely similar to Air's story, except of course not exactly the same.
Both are made by the same group - Key and Kyoto Animation. Both have similar (yet different) and [i]sad[/i] plots involving a main character and several girls.
Well first off, they're both originated from Key games and animated by Kyoani.
They're both incredibly sad story's which will tug at your heart, mind you with fabulous animation (kyoani ftw!)
One guy... A bunch of girl's...
Both titles being games produced by Key and both Animated by the wonderful KyoAni, both shows are beautiful to look at, and they both feature very sad stories. Keep your eyes open during ep 2 you might get a pleasant surprise lol
its made by the same people, and has the same sort of effect-like you could go back and watch it hundreds of times.
It's similar to air in case of the drama intensity. However, Air lacks the longevity of the story, but it's a pretty good one too. Kanon is great because of the unpredictable flow of the story. These two will surely bring tears to your eyes.
Boths series have lot in common. They are both KyoAni products and both have wonderfukl stories that will move your heart. They are Both harem shows with character arcs, and some of the character arcs in Kanon and Air resemble each other. IN other words, if you liked AIR you're definetly going to like Kanon.
Both are very sad. And they can be really funny, you can cry. x3
Same original visual novel studio (key), same animation studio (Kyoani)
Both Drama series from Kyoto Animation. If you watched Air (/Kanon (2006) then you should check the other one. They both include good Character developing, an emotional story through the Animé and great graphics and soundtracks fitting the whole atmosphere. Mixed with some Humor makes Kanon (2006) an overall great Animé which is definatly worth watching!
I really enjoyed Air but I enjoyed Kanon (2006) even more! Kyoto Animation works its magic in both of these romance / drama anime. Air and Kanon were both written by Key, and were video games before anime. They both have really intriguing plots and the animation is amazing and close to flawless! I was brought to tears by both of these shows. There are really moving scenes, and also scenes where you find yourself smiling from ear to ear! I strongly recommend Kanon (2006) if you liked Air!
Air is the first of the Key/Kyoto series followed by Kanon 2006
Besides the obvious reason of both of them being made by the same company, Air and Kanon both seem to be domant in a season and center in a season. Air capture the soul of Summer as Kanon gets the essence of winter. Both have a still , silent vibe. Both are awesome!
Same creators, and it's good o:
Similar character developments and story.
-About the same animation style
-A little bit of harem
-Made by Key Animation
-Comedy
Viewers that are teary-eyed on the sad moments from Air should certainly check out Kanon(2006). Kanon presents a simple but unpredictable storyline and captivating animation provided by the famous Kyoto Animation Studios. Be ready with those tissues though.
The same creators are responsible for Air and Kanon and it shows: from the character design to the pacing and plot, these are indeed akin titles that should appeal to a similar fanbase. Both are heartfelt anime that compel the viewer to empathize with he characters. However, Air takes drama to a whole different level and becomes downward tragic while Kanon manages to retain a bitter sweet feeling.
Both were adapted from visual novels by Key and animated by the same studio - Kyoto Animation.
They are very similar in several ways, both very tragic animes.
Kanon and Air are both adapted from visual novels by Key.
Both anime have the same type of supernatural elements and the moods of both stories are bittersweet. Anybody who enjoys one of these will definitely like the other.
The've Got The Same Producers And They've Both Got Beautifull Drama Stories
I'll try to keep this short. A lot of people have been suggesting things like kanon, or sola, or whatever for air, because they're both "sad". let me tell you that I don't get why that is. Kanon is nowhere NEAR Air's level. Air is spectacular. Why? Well, because, it doesn't just deal with the usual "tragedy" - the whole doomed love thing. Air goes so much deeper than that - not only does it explore one (make that two >.<'') of the purest couples I've ever seen before, it also goes into the love of sisters, and a mother and her daughter, and more. If you've watched Kanon, watch air right this second. It is WORTH it. If you've watched Air and you know what real tragedy is, I guess Kanon would be a good next stop. It's not as sad, but the animation is really similar, as is the way they lay out the story.
:)
A one guy and a lot of girls, each one with its own drama and a beautiful background story. A serie that will make you cry and smile with the characters.
Air and Kanon are very similair. they are both made by kyoani
the first arc in kanon 2006 is very similar to air tv. the following arcs also carry a resemlance and even take it that tiny bit further
both are very sad but beatiful
if you like air you will def like kanon and vice versa
they both have beautiful endings
Both are made by Key, and adapted by KyoAni. Both have a tragic feel to them, and they follow the "girl arc" formula with a boy coming to a town, meeting girls and their individual tragedies and troubles, each story arc focusing on one girl.
both are sad and have good animation.both are harem animes by key based off their games.
Sad girls that seem happy, a sad town that seems happy and a sad, sad, sad story that seems happy. Also, Kanon is based around winter while Air is based around summer.
Air and Kanon 2006 are both based off of visual novels by Key, and each have very moving stories that will probably make you cry. Also, the Makoto and Misuzu arcs are incredibly similar.
Its the same story, all over again
Possui um estilo bem parecido tanto no desenho como na historia ^^

Yeah I would recommend Air if you like this anime :D
I finished Air not too long ago and loved it!
Made by the same people :P
One guy... A bunch of girl's...
Same original visual novel studio (key), same animation studio (Kyoani)
AIR, KANON, CLANNAD are made by KEY. All three are very good
Cute Anime from Key Studio..
Air and Clannad are similar in that they are both produced by the same group, and they have similar themes of drama, sadness, and fantasy. If you liked Air, then you will like Clannad, and vice versa.
It is made from the same people, and they are similar ind that the genre is the same.
Same creator, and similar story.
-About the same animation style
-A little bit of harem
-Made by Key Animation
-Comedy
Kyoto Animation also made an adaptation of the Clannad visual novel made by Visual arts/Key.
Both were adapted from visual novels by Key and animated by the same studio - Kyoto Animation.
Both are pretty slow-moving and capture the spirit of summer. In both, a male character helps out a female character who is weak.
Similar feel and drama/romance.
Both anime focus on a guy that doesn't know what to do with himself, and instead starts to help a girl fufilling her dreams. Also, the animations are quite alike, as they're both based on a visual novel by Key.
It's also from KEY and animated by KYOani
Clannad and Air are definitely the one of the best slice of life anime you will ever witness from the screen of your monitor. A box is tissues are needed for both shows ;)
Both anime made the same creators and atmosphere is the same. Both stories are about young male character, who helps weak girl making her dreams to come true.
Both were about slice of life, school life, comedy and else.
Both are made by Key, and both are very sad at times. Very good anime
AIR and Clannad founded both visual novel games. Both is very sad, but they've their funny moments too. Charachter are most of girls and actually only main character is boy.. ^^
They are both about the past and about characters who are a lot the same. People hiding their past and trying to make friends.
Though AIR is more of a tear jerker than Clannad, they have similar mix of drama, romance and comedy.
Created by the same animation studio and has the same type of storyline and same style
Where Clannad is (in my opinion) the better of the two both shows have a similar feel to them and the lead characters are very similar to one another.
Apart of having been created by the same studio, they both focus on "family", and how important this family is throughout your life.
They are both by the same company so they are to have many similarites they both have romance that sways off from time to time and girls who all seem to have some sort of relationship with the main character who ends up falling in love with one of them there other similarities now go find out for yourself :)
They are made from the same company. And they have same styles
same company, supernatural aspects and kind of haremy with a main boy and tons of moe girls ^^

Air and sola have similar moods. Reincarnation appears to factor into both shows as well.
this show is very similar to air, first in the plot line, that when you go on you find out the rest. and secondly you may like it like i did' this is great stuff :)
I'm not going to spoil either one. If you liked Air, you'll probably like Sola. The end.
Fantasy and Romance with bits of Comedy thrown in
Sola = sky
Air = air
...need i say more??
Air is so similar to sola it's not funny. I can even compare them and say this character has the same personality as that character between the shows. Both are also about the sky in some way. In sola it's about being able to stand under the sky, and in Air it's about being in the sky. Both shows are very similar, and I highly recommend if you've seen Air you should see sola and if you've seen sola you should see Air.
As those before me said, these two animes are very similar. Both revolve around the sky and everything about it, both are filled with heart-breaking moments sprinkled with a bit of comedy here and there and both are truly drama masterpieces.
I dunno, theres just something about Sola that reminds me of Air :S. Anyways, if you liked one, you'd probably like the other, if not at least a bit.
Sola and Air are both tragic love stories riddled in mystery and supernatural abilities. A very short watch so if you prefer more drawn out anime then perhaps this is not going to be your cup of tea. If you enjoyed the way the writers choose to progress the story on an emotional level in one series then you're going to love it in the other. Similarly, if you hated how the director relied on mystery to keep the shallow love story alive in one anime you'll probably hate it in the other.
Both have a "past" story arc and deal with the sky.
They're both very sky obessesed lol, in a gd way
Its a bit different, but if u liked Air den you will totally like Sola.
Both Sola and Air are supernatural anime that involve a story from the past that connects to what's going on in the present. Air and Sola both are romance anime that have sad endings, so if that's your type of thing you'll enjoy both of them.
They're both very sad, and yet beautiful at the same time. They also both have a girl main character that enjoys looking at the sky who is not human. They both revolve around the sky a lot.
similar art style, both have sad endings and and some supernatural parts.
The plot of these two animes show a lot of parallels and the tone is similiar, too. Well, you will see what I mean when you watched both.
Many many similarities, exactly the same genre, I sincerely recommend this .First of all both have a very deep and symbolic connection with the sky. Then both of them have the same type of female leads, sweet, innocent and lovable.
Furthermore these two animes have an arc about the past(like a flashback). Finally a very big part of the plot consists of mythological elements that you should get used to( these elements seem to be part of a much greater mythology that the writers keep hidden from us).
They both just have the same atmosphere. They both deal with the sky and although Air seems to have a bit more romance, they both have that ending that just keeps you thinking...

This series reminded me a lot of AIR. The music, story line, animation style, etc. I definitely suggest this to all fans of AIR. You won't regret watching this.
At first glance ef-a Tale of Memories and Air do not seem to have much in common, the first being more focused on romance while the second deals primarily with tragedy and family ties, however these titles have a similar atmosphere to them. Both are character driven through and through, the interaction between the characters is what advances the plot. These anime are highly emotional in the way they approach human relationships, a stellar soundtrack and flawless animation make them akin in more ways than one. Especially relevant is the attention to detail in the several scenes that feature the sky that are simply gorgeous both in Air and in ef-a tale of memories.
Similar feel and drama/romance.
Fantasy, romance, and amazing artwork
They're both dramatic, yet cute. Amazing art and sound too.
both are sad,dramas and about friendship and the obstacles in their relationships.
First of all, similiar, beautiful art.
They both tell a little bit sad, psychological story about life, happiness and relationships. If you liked one than you will probably like the other.

Both anime are about mysterious side stories that relates to the main female character, which the guy helps with her problem. If you like Clannad, then you will love Air. And both are from KyoAni and Key...and some harem in them.
Similar feeling, similar comedy, make sure to watch Clannad before watching After Story though...
Both made from the same company and in similar style. Both are moving and worthful. In Air story of protagonists take place in the past, in Clannad characters get together in other world. If you like Clannad, then you must to watch Air.
somewhat is kind of a similar story and u will enjoy it if u are looking for a sad theme anime xD
Same creators, Beautiful Story, Kawaii, moe and beautiful characters ^^, have pet xD, I don't know what to say more. xD
From the same maker with just the same amount of drama and a very captivating story.

Both shows are like an emotional rollercoaster from start to finish, and both are equally heart-wrenching. In a good way.
Both are incredibly sad anime, and i could go into further detail of how they are somewhat similar, but it would have to include spoilers, so lets leave it as that.
Trust me. If you liked Saikano, you will love AIR,
At first glance Saikano and Air do not seem to be very alike, the first having a post apocalyptic setting and a plot that focuses heavily on war while the second takes place in a peaceful village for the most part, yet they are soul mates in how they handle a sheer dose of tragedy that dominates the later part of these series. The slice of life moments, heart felt romance, cute character designs mingled with nostalgia are more arguments that establish Saikano and Air as epics of sadness.
Both series have a core love story that has difficulties along the way, multiple love interests, and a strong tragic element. Saikano's heavy on the violence as well, but otherwise they're quite similar thematically.

Once again. Key Visuals. Fantastic, but sad. Check it out. Try also to get the OVA's if you watch it. It makes the series that much better
Well, the sad scenes make theme similar. There must be more similarities but anyway, if you like Air, you'll like H2O ~Footprints in the Sand~.
They are both very sad anime.
Air is similar to h2o in the pace of the anime, the characters developement and the story of friendship they have a similar drawing style too, both are wery interesting and if you liked one then you will most likely like the other too.
one guy, a lot of cuute girls and both are sad and have romance
|
|
|
Has a laidback vibe to it like True Tears does, a strange girl, a realistic girl, and a girl who closes herself off from others. Progresses very well, highly recommended if you're into Air.
its not really about a guy and girl falling in love although i think they do like each other but its a sad story
sad romantic stories, with not exactly good ending.
Both only 13 episodes
Both can make you cry a river
Both have around the same number of main characters
Both deserve your attention
|
|
|
animation.
then, the plot about a girl waiting until the guy gets his wits together and finally decides to save her/not save her. There is no fantasy in Kimi ga Nozomu and the urge to slap the main protagonist is 100x higher. But if you like drama-slice-of-life stories that make you cry then you will like to watch both. Watch Air even if you don't particulary like that genre cause it's worth it. (ok, so i am biased...^^)
Both are drama, they'r kinda quiet and 'slow motion'...
But i think that Air is better
If you liked the drama in KGNE you're going to love AIR.
These shows really dig into your emotions. They have so much sadness, but end up somewhat joyful if you really look at it. They each have tragic parts that end up fatal. Air is a story, though about a girl wanting to fly, and when she dreams, she does.
|
|
|
Same base of story 1 man, many girls
Beautiful Story, too much story about characters, beautiful, moe and kawaii characters.
These are both good tearbreakers, both have a very good storyline. :D
When you have watched one ep, your wanting to see the rest as well. ^^
|
|
|
Art, backdrop scenery, and color manipulation are spectacular in both. AIR fully develops the fragility of love and difficulty of human connection invoked in 5 cm. Both play on the theme of inevitable loss. 5 cm's brilliant music and use of silence is replicated in AIR.
Both series tell very sweet, very sad love stories. (Bittersweet, I suppose you could say.) They evoke sympathy for the characters without feeling at all contrived. There's a pretty good chance you'll at least have tears in your eyes by the end of both, as well.
Both have similar meanings in how the main characters can't be together, although they love each other. Both are amazing, sad and very touching.
|
|
|
Plays with your emotions the same way as kanon.
Not similar plotline related, but they're both sad anime, thou Kashimashi isnt near as sad as Air, but still. Anyways, if you liked one you may like the other, i know i sure do ^^.
|
|
|
Similar feel and drama/romance.
If you liked Clannad (THE MOVIE), then Air is pretty much the same. It tells you basically to not waste your life away and it shows you how precious life is. I think one of the most important thing about watching anime is the story or the lesson we learn behind it. And this Clannad movie and Air tells you it in a very moving way.
The pictures in both are brilliant. As they ARE from the same anime group.
It is absolutely worthwhile to watch them BOTH.
|
|
|
If you liked the Air Tv series, then you'll like The Air Movie. It's mainly about Misuzu, Yukito, and their past lives. It should be very enjoyable while being memorable at the same time to Air fans.
Air (Movie) is the movie to AIR.. so, uh, yeah. Self-explanitory.
|
|
|
Air in Summer is an Ova from Air TV
Air in Summer are some extra episodes in the Heian period arc.
|
|
|
Both are romantic comedies ( air is not as funny but still) with "Supernatural" theme. Both main female characters are really sweet and inocent girls that enjoys the company of the male character ( wich also have similiar actitudes).
|
|
|
episodes 8-9 in Air seem a lot like Scrapped Princess two people are trying to protect someone who they say is "cursed" but not.They both are quite sad you should check them both out ;)
|
|
|
Both series contain some "tearjerkers" no, i take that back, they contain some major tearjerkers! when i was watching Tokyo Magnitude 8.0, some of scenes made me think of Air and i thought, "this is so similar" and it was, in my opinion anyway, but Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 might be a little controversial to be similar to the confusing and unrealistic Air.
|
|
|
Similar style, Ef- a tale of melodies is slightly more artsy while Air is more fantasy, however they both have a very like feel to each other
|
|
|
both are based off visual novels/games
both have drama and good storylines and nice art.
both are harem.
|
|
|
Well there's romance in both, and even though they have a lot of differences when I was watching Shuffle! certain scenes reminded o me of Air (I won't spoil any thing) and there's a bit of supernatural in both as well.
|
|
|
A supernatural tale that takes place in summer. Asatte no houkou is less deep, but gives you a lesson about true friendship, just like in Air.
|
|
|
Both animes talk about the curse of Celestial maidens and how that affects the main girls. Although Ayashi is full of action, and Air is slice of life, we can see the main girls goal, trying to break the curses. Both animes make you cry with tragic characters.
|
|
|
both deep dramas which have a hint of darkness. both worth watching.
|
|
|
It really is very hard to compare both without spoiling the total experience. If you enjoyed the tear-jerking, bittersweet ending of Air, then you will probably like the story of Iriya no Sora. While not as tear-jerking per se, you might find the similarities between the main heroines quite amusing in a sense...well more like depressing really. The genres itself may be completely different, but the overall plot is relatively the same.
|
|
|
The slowish yet engrossing pace, and the feel that the series gives off is about the same.
|
|
|
Although Air is deeper in emotions and Tutu is on the lighter side, I feel both heroines encounters difficult hardship at times. Both animes really touches my heart.
|
|
|
Both are pretty sad stories, elements in commor are, for example, a love between a human boy and an angel girl. Both are pretty sad but also enjoyable.
|
|
|
Another bittersweet supernatural tale that takes place in the course of a single summer. While not as emotionally tumultuous as Air, Uta~Kata is brimming with melodrama and a storyline that rolls further into darker territory with every episode.
|
|
|
Both are stories about young girls suffering.
|
|
|
Both slice of life romance about mysterious girls.
|
|
|
Both about a girl who's life isn't the greatest, but they don't seem to be sad.
|
|
|
Many of the characters in Air seem to be similar to those in Pita Ten. There's the mysterious girl, like Shia, and there's the hyperactive one with a strange past, like Misha. The storyline is also slightly similar, although Air has a darker side to it than Pita Ten. I love the mixture of romance and fantasy in both series.
|
|
|
These two anime might not seem too similar at first but if you finish them both you will understand why I recommend it. I just don't want to spoil it.
