i saw ur review on amagami and im liking this series as well but im not to sure about all the arcs i hope there all good i would prob pref he stay with 1 person but owell o.o
O lmao yeah but B Gata H Kei still rocks hell.
I recommend you Angel Beats if you like comedy and some deep and interesting plot. I gave it a 10, now looking for similar titles :D. The beginning 2 eps is a bit slow though.
Ok....that second review..was just like huh? You basically said it was cool because other people say it was good...hmm oh well thats why I'm here. ^^
My friend Yume probably already went over there and dropped a huge bomb of a comment about AIR on your profile, but I will put it more simpler so its easier to understand lol (he does type a lot >_<)
Ok lets start with the logo for starters. The logo will help me illustrate my point better than just explaining it. Ok you recall the logo right? The girl inside the word AIR holding "someone's" hand. Now that someone is essentially every reincarnation of Ryuuya, the first person to come in contact with Kanna. Basically what happened in the past is Ryuuya and Kanna fell in love, but the "winged-beings" were hated and feared, so when they were finally caught after being on the run for several days, she "died" ~ but not really right? This is where it gets interesting....remember when Ryuuya sees her and she is imagining that he is dieing before her very eyes....he yells..."Kanna no, that isn't real, I'm right here" or something like that, she is not dead just trapped between "time" doomed to experience sadness forever due to her "sealing" or "curse". Now you recall Misuzu talking about having dreams of flying through the sky and seeing a girl that is always crying don't you? Why do you suppose that is? It is because Misuzu is the reincarnation of Kanna. Misuzu is but one of many who have gone through this "life" and she is the final one.
Now, Yuukito obviously is the reincarnation of Ryuuya because of the scene where he Ryuuya gets slashed by the enemy and he feels it. Remember what happened after Kanna disappeared, Ryuuya and Urahara were talking and they decided to have kid to "carry on [their] memories" to the next generation ~ well Yukito is the reincarnation of Ryuuya, Ryuuya's baby, and so on and so forth. The 1000th Summer is referring to the number of Summers it took for the "reincarnation" to figure out how to "save" Kanna who is trapped in the sky. Misuzu does not die she simply returns to where she was born.........the crow being Yuukito/Ryuuya flying off to find or be with Kanna/Misuzu. Now your probably wondering, "but why does he turn into a crow"?
Well in the past the couples were not able to break the cycle, causing the "guy" to leave because he does not want the "girl" to suffer. However, Yuukito broke that cycle by returning after leaving, but he still knows that the only way Misuzu will not suffer is if he is not there...so he using his "magic" (probably via the doll) to reincarnate as a crow, paying the price of his memories while also erasing Misuzu's memory of him so she will not have to suffer. The rest is simple, without Yuukito there, Haruko takes his place and cares for Misuzu while she ungoes the final stages of the "life" I already mentioned. It is the fate of all reincarnations to "die" when there time is up just like when Kanna "died" that night. So Misuzu dies and the cycle is over, but WAIT ~ Yuukito is still there, but he has something that other incarnations did not....the will, heart, and knowledge to go find a very important thing that he lost all those years ago.........in this 1000th Summer. The kids on the beach at the end...being the reincarnation that finally found a way to be together.....thats the reason they say what they did "Our troubles are over, but theres is just beginning" or something along those lines.
Basically its all a trial and error process over all those years to find a way to save "their" true love....Kanna.
Now mine was a bit long...but there is much to tell....while I agree completely on the fact that is is quite confusing, I have NEVER believed in giving an anime a low score just because I did not understand it....I just don't think thats fair to the anime.....you lower the score of the anime by giving it a "1"~ I value everyone's opinion, but I just want somebody to have a full understanding of what they review before they review it ^^
P.S> I am not flaming you....just trying to help you comprehend a great anime so you can better review it with your new understanding of the reason I love it so much~ and if you still have questions I would be glad to answer them ^^
Good job. I can now actually see why you disliked it rather than assume it was your ignorance that caused that other hideous review.
Meh, I can't really blame your for hating it, 12 episodes is way too short and some things felt somewhat irrelevant.
Though, even if you've already know this, I will clarify Air a bit.
As you said in your review, Yukito is searching for a girl in the sky, and basically there are 3 girls that somewhat fit the criteria.
In the original Visual Novel, you could go with any of the 3. But obviously the Air anime adaption just stuck with the Misuzu ending. So, basically, they butchered the story somewhat. Here's a few things:
1) Yukito is the crow (duh), and was transformed to so since he could no longer be with Misuzu in human form.
2) Misuzu is the real girl in the sky Yukito is looking for
3) Misuzu dies in the end, due the fact that she houses the goddess inside her (which is Kanna) and is cursed to reincarnate.
4) Yukito is also an incarnation of Ryuya, who vowed to break the chain of Kanna's reincarnating and free her soul.
5) In the end, Yukito was unsuccessful in breaking the chain of reincarnation with Misuzu, but they both reincarnated into those two kids in the end who are playing at the beach.
you're welcome dude.
it's kinda funny you gave it a 7 after all ;D
(honestly, i never understood the concept, maybe I'm dumb but you gotta admit that anime was a bit weird.. right?)
hehe...well 7/10 its better than 1/10...
thou i give you props for wanting to Understand Air ;) most ppl just drop it, or just write hate comments about it....
I at least saw that you took the Time to read Lucy_yume's explanation on AIR......yea the story is very complicated, just like you...i didn't get AIR for shit! lol.....its an anime way past my level of understanding, if it wasn't for "Infinitybelt" who took his time in explaining it to me....it would have also been a 7
.................in the end i gave it an 8
