Just started watching another good episode.

Also did anyone notice the fact that at 13:48 that the three main characters from Kanon was in there? From left to right - Ayu, Nayuki, and Matoko? Thought I should point that out.

Wow, i didn't notice (and i just saw kanon last week T.T). It was fast and i was looking to the subs. When i saw, the cam was already behind them, so i looked and thought "who are those, maybe i know them" kind unconsciently, but didn't stopped the video to check. It's good someone posted it in here, so i could notice =)

Piko piko is very cool!! I want a dog like it!!!

the screening time varies depending on the video, so it doesn't always appear at 13:48. :)

Currently re-watching in dubbed version, and for some reason, Sakishino(?) (little green haired girl) really piqued my interest. Probably a mental disability, but still, so cute, snuggling that sloth. <3

True!

While I did notice a triad of pretty girls, I didn't realize it was *them*. Then again I watched Kanon (2006), not Kanon (2002), and Air (TV) aired in 2005. So, I went back and rewatched that scene and I think they're drawn in the original Kanon (2002) style (which only makes sense, considering the dates). The blue-haired girl's hairstyle (I'm bad with Western names IRL, even worse with Japanese "in virtual life") is slightly different than from Kanon (2006), but that winged backpack should've given it away instantly regardless. Uguu~

Guess I was too busy reading the subtitles (again) to spot these things. Subtitles are a mixed blessing.

My interpretation was that the cake "donation" was setup by her *aunt*. It's too much of a coincidence otherwise. Or, put in other words: "Coincidence? I think not!"

I just loved that scene with the little girl xD
Yukito: "What's your name?"
The girl: "Six years old."
:D

I wonder what happened with Kano at the end... oh, and she really has a scary sister. Poor Yukito shouldn't have accepted that part-time job xD (Though at least he gets to have lunch that way.)

Misuzu is surely one of the cutest characters ever. Also, that cake was too much of a coincidence...

Ayu, Nayuki and Makoto happily attending school; even if I end up not liking this show (which does not seem likely) it was already worth it. 5/5, a really well balanced episode. Especially enjoyed the interaction between Yukito and Misuzu.

Don't mind the spoilers, I'm just recording some guesses about the plot having seen Kanon and Clannad. I wonder if I get right something...

It's easy to see Air as a sort of prototype for the Key/KyoAni shows that came after. Little Red Anger Girl (sorry, never remember the name) is pretty much Makoto, while Green Kid (again, name issues) is a small Fuko waiting to happen.

Also, winged backpack.

Well. Hmmm. After watching Clannad and Clannad AS through (twice) I sorta got stuck iwth picking something new to watch. Tried XXXholic, Kaze No Stigma, tried watching Cowboy Beebop (again), and I couldn't make it through 10 minutes of any of them, mainly due to the quality of art. So I saw Air was by the same people as Clannad and figured okay, maybe I'll watch this and it'll help me clear my plate from Clannad.

So far it's sorta cute, a bit confusing, but beautifully drawn. So... I'll keep watching, see where it goes.

Honestly. I made the mistake of trying to watch this after a day where my brain was already fried from too much programming. I fell asleep in the middle, and my mind never quite caught up, so rather than feel lost in episode three I went back and rewatched it later that night when I was in better mental shape for it.

The show definitely has a chemistry to it now. The first episode is rough, as is often the case in series, but I'm really wondering what's the deal with Misuzu's mother. (Don't tell me, I'm hoping I find out as we go along). The guy who gives that package to the male lead (name escapes me at the moment), I can't help but wonder where he was going, if he was just an odd extra/coincidence (which I don't believe of having seen Clannad and After Story First) in a Anime like this, or related to another character. I have a hunch I won't write here because I watched three episodes before posting this and don't want to spoil it.

I'm liking the vibe from the characters. I like the way Kano's sister takes care of her, and is a little hard on Yukito, there I remembered his name finally. I like that he's kind of got a 'real job' even though it seems we've not seen anyone pay him in the traditional western sense. Although I'm curious what jobs she may have for him to do.

I definitely like the fantasy/fairy tail esque feel to this one, and hrms. What is up with Kano anyways?

Oh my God! Major cliffhanger at the end. Man it scared me when Kano sudenly turned up shining brightly O_O

I have to admit that Misuzu and Yukito seem like a nice couple. Not on a Tomoya/Nagisa level. But they are pretty darn cute together.

I am a little worried about Misuzu's mother's work... I hope I'm wrong about her profession.
Misuzu and he "V" is absolutely adorable :3

And someone kill that annoying Half dog half Pokemon!

4/5
