Synopsis

People from various worlds and across different universes attend Kaginado Academy, a school of which its creation can only be attributed to a miracle. While everyone is trying to lead a normal school life, the clash of bustling personalities causes many of the students to beg questions about their world and the complexes they brought with them.

Ryou Fujibayashi feels like her life is dictated by how she is judged by others, expressing her jealousy toward other girls. Yukito Kunisaki constantly finds himself out of place and neglected, continuing to wander around unemployed and penniless. Meanwhile, Ayu Tsukimiya keeps running into the most untimely of situations—all while crashing into her surroundings along the way. Such is life at Kaginado Academy, and all the fourth wall breaking and comedic antics that come with it!

Kaginado. The series that covers many stories, the story of those who can fly in the sky, the stories of fake worlds, even the story of forgotten memories.

A series that brings all of Key's works together and does it fabulously. These 12 weeks of Kaginado airing had been brilliant. A quick reminder though, you will need to have watched/played the following visual novels Key has created, Kanon, Air, Clannad, Planetarian, Little Busters!, Rewrite and Angel Beats.

STORY: Kaginado doesn't have a true set story or anything like that. It's simply a hilarious comedy show based in a high school setting that brings many of Key's works ...

"My child, please listen carefully..."

There´s a forgotten girl.
A girl in the sky.
A girl with a strange disease.
A shy girl playing baseball.
A girl in the moon.
And a girl who wants to see the stars.
These 6 make me who i am today. Without KEY, we may have not have had the impact on drama/romance visual novels or anime we have today. The fantastic character designs and personality; the comedy genious laying around in every episode making me laugh my ass off and the climax scenes turning every man into a crybaby; all of this adds up for unforgetable experiences within our hearts.

Yet one question remains. What ... if they ALL got togheter? Strap yourself in because you've just gotten into something special.
‌Before you do that you must have READ or WATCHED: Kanon/Kanon 2002,Kanon 2006; AIR/AIR TV,AIR:The Motion Picture,AIR: In Summer;CLANNAD/CLANNAD, CLANNAD:After Story; Little Busters!/Little Busters!,Little Busters!:Refrain, Little Busters!: EX; Kud Wafter Rewrite,Rewrite:Harvest Festa!/Rewrite,Rewrite Second Season; Planetarian/Planetarian(anime)/ Tomoyo After(this one you must play as there is no anime.)
Don't let the chibi style or 4 minute episode runtime fool you; it's a masterpiece! The classic jokes such as "Toilet Seat Cover" or Kyousuke being a lolicon are very much present with the addition of lots of references to specific scenes or character traits but with a few wholesome moments that bring water to our eyes. Sadly(and this might be a huge drawback to you)character attention might vary a lot. Because it's a limited cast, some characters might show up in 4 episodes while others show up with 3 lines of dialogue with 10 seconds. Personally, i didn't feel loss with that because they really can make every episode feel unique with the same set of characters specially when you can feel that they've enjoyed working on this project; i really loved the voice acting. One major example of this is Misuzu's voice actress. Her past VA is no longer with us so she had big shoes to fill in the girl in the sky. Let me tell you, she was perfect; it was just barely a 1:1 to the original.
Finally, KEY also brought the audience their favourite tunes back; i'm talking about the BGM playing in each one of the games(not all of course) and one special singer returned to melt our hearts once again: Lia.

After watching Kaginado, all i could feel was that this anime was a "Thank you for being there." A Thank you to all of us fans who have witnessed these wonderful and powerful stories that will forever have marked history and our lives.
So from me and all of the fans; Thank you for inspiring millions of people to pursue their dreams and to give us more meanings of important words such as family or friendship.

Warning: If you don't watch or read/play Kanon, AIR, Clannad (including Tomoyo After VN), Little Busters, Planetarian and Rewrite beforehand or still halfway through them, please do finish them before watching. You'll getting on very heavy spoiler as early as episode 1. You have been warned.

This is a gift to all loyal Key fans that has been staying and crying for whatever all those series throughout their 21 years of existing. Having many of these series make a comeback with half of them last having an appearance a decade ago, truly they brought much nostalgia to everyone who had known this either via the VN ...
