| I've read many different stuff about it, and I've also been spoiled just a while back on a pretty major part of the story... Is it still worth a watch or should I avoid this at all costs? |
 |
| There is really nothing special to the story line if you have been spoiled a major part of the story. But if you are a fan of Key, you might as well watch it. |
| I would suggest reading reviews of it instead of asking for opinions. |
Cupquake said: No it is not. It's in definition of mediocre. I hated it so much I felt inclined to write a review on it. It does a lot of stuff already done in Clannad/Kanon and does it in an inferior way as well. I don't see the similarity of it. Each are unique in its own way, just like every Key series out there. mayukachan said: I would suggest reading reviews of it instead of asking for opinions. |
| The most important things in life is the people that you care about |
| Maybe the spoilers will diminish things a little (although some surveys indicate that people enjoy media more if it's been spoiled), but the direction of the story arc is clear enough that it's not a hugely shocking surprise. And since you've rated shows like AnoHana and Clannad pretty highly, it wouldn't be a stretch to say you'll like the kind of drama that Air presents. The story is unfortunately a bit rushed due to the 12-episode format, but the music, the visuals, and the overall atmosphere are top-notch.

Jaguer91 said: Crystal Ball Criticism at its finest, ladies and gentlemen! Yes, everything by KyoAni is shit, including a certain series that sucked so much you had no choice but to rate it 8 and have it as your sig. But since you've watched that show and a combined 9 episodes of everything else they've ever made, I guess you're the expert.I've not watched yet, but KyoAni produced it, so it must be shit for sure. |

| Don't go into the anime expecting a Clannad or Kanon, you'll be disappointed. |
| If you watched Clannad, skip Air. Don't bother with Air. Don't even breathe Air...sorry When I watched Air(same with Kanon) they just look like early failed Clannad attempts. |
 |
| Air is one of anime where I kinda hooked because of its beautiful anime. If you can enjoy the art, I would recommend it (the story is side effect). |
| Nah, i dont think sharing anime ratings in signature is cool thing. Here, stare at this pointless signature instead. |

| Some people seem to experience difficulties with the concept of linear passage of time. |
 |
| dunno about air, but i tried to watch kanon after clannad. and PIIEEW did it suck ass! so if hey are similar i wouldnt bother |
 |
| Not entirely sure yet, but it's not as good as Kanon or Clannad(my opinion) from my experience so far. I'm pretty close to the finish(3 episodes left), but so far nothing that made my pants fly off yet. Who knows though, depends on how it will end, but all I have to say right now.. Don't open if you haven't watched it. |
Touch me, you filthy casual~ |
| I would say no, I didn't like it. Been holding my breath ever since. |

| I don't know why there are so many Air haters in MAL. Air has the most beautiful OP and ED song IMO. About the story,yes it's really confusing but still enjoyable. Not just because you didn't understand the anime, that doesn't mean that it's bad. |

| I thought Air was good, and different enough from other Key/KyoAni shows. I mean, there's similarities for sure, but they aren't the same at all. If you go into expecting a Clannad clone you will be disappointed though. And for what it's worth, IMO of course, Air is much better than Clannad S1, but not as good as AS. |

In my opinion, the season 1 of Clannad is a bit overrated. I personally found both Air and Kanon better than it. That's just my opinion though. Yeah, Clannad AS does top all of them. |

| It's mediocre and the characters can get annoying. The show is saccharine and cloying and the Kano arc was unnecessary. Maybe you can watch it if you're bored as it is quite entertaining. I'm still watching it, though. |

| Numbuh 3, you've got to get off the couch, you cannot sit in that tree house, girl you like Rainbow Monkeys so grab your little shit and then swing! Hand tracks be tracking me to different doorways. In a maze, and I don't know what to do. Guaranteed though, Ima find the emeralds. |
| It's a beautiful anime. A rare to find nowadays. If you love art and OST, I'm sure will enjoy the series. |
