I love it when someone tries to be a smartass and ends up screwing up. Usually it's them misspelling 'grammar' as 'grammer', but this is even funnier because they messed up the grammar in the sentence. 7/10 for unintentional comedy. :) I dont really think you got it either. Neverender did it on purpose since the first post wrote saw instead of seen. Takeshi thought Neverender wrote saw because he sucks at grammar. This is why I said takeshi is an idiot. D: Hopefully I'm not the one to misunderstand. That wouldn't look too good. lmfao @ this shit |

| I thought this was OKAY. It didn't make me cry or anything. Honestly, I think it should have been longer. I didn't get attatched to any of the characters. What I did think was cool was the two episodes with Kanna, Ryuuya and the other chick (forgot her name) back in fuedal japan or whatever; seeing the doll being made, how Ryuuya got his battle scar (i totally freaked when Yukito randomly gets owned in the house), etc. What else I liked about this was the intro. It seemed to flow into the OP sequence very smoothly, and the music was great. And I watched Clannad before this, and I know Air was first, but what Air needed was to be longer. Clannad gave me so much time to be attatched to each character and - CLANNAD SPOILER Anyways, the characters in Air were cute and enjoyable, and the story was interesting. I just honestly didn't get the crow that much. I understand what happens and why...its just...why a crow? lol. So...I guess this was more of a review than anything. But in conclusion, I have one thing to say... GAO! |
 |
| how can you love clannad and kanon but think this is absolute shit? they're all very similar. this story didn't make very much sense, but neither did clannad and kanon. they're all pretentious bullshit, theres really no deep stuff, but they are all enjoyable nevertheless |

| With Air I have a love/hate relationship. While I love the storyline, the art the characters and their personalities, I really loathe how the story was told and the way it ended. There will be spoilers ahead for the manga, movie and anime, so if you don't want to know, don't read |

| i watched a few episodes... half the time its the chars just staring off to the distance with bulging eyes and are depressed, then its like some scenic shot with 2 chars staring at each other, but nothing happens then i start gouging my eyes |

Asako said: I found the story boring. The art is good, music and voicework is fine, production quality is above average. But the story just didn't appeal to me at all. Was the worst KeyAni series til Clannad AS. Kanon and Clannad are much better. I'm probably a bit biased though, because I watched Kanon first, and was recommended Air by people telling me it's as good, and it will 'definitely make me cry' etc. But it wasn't as good. And it didn't make me cry. It just bored me. Probably heightened by the fact I was expecting it to be as good as Kanon, but was disappointed. Personally i found clannad too be the weakest out of the 3. I watched it about a year ago so i don't remember much though mostly because i stayed uninterested for most of the series. Plan too rewatch. But Air had to be my favorite out of the 3. |
| lol @ img bbcode not working, mal is such a great site |
| Holy crap! @_@ I out of nowhere found this thread in my e-mail after months, I had no idea it was a whole 4 pages long. Well let me elaborate on why I didn't like Air in more serious and professional explanation. To me the story was actually ok, at least up until the final episodes. I thought it had a lot of potential, and even when we went flashback to feudal Japan I actually was still thinking this story is going somewhere good. Yet then the whole crow thing came in, and from that point forward I was going "wtf!" the whole way through. I didn't care that the ending was sad, what I cared about was the way they ended it: "So the girl dies and the reincarnation crow of the guy flies off into the sky to look for her again." I could only ask myself where the hell this went. The story? Lot's of great potential. The way they ended it? Huge wtf moment. I'm not saying that the anime wasn't good, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I love Clannad and think it's the ultimate masterpiece of all the anime I've watched, yet there are people that think it was utter crap. Same thing as me disliking Air and people loving it. So please don't think I'm trying to say something like "How can you like it? You have bad tastes!" (in fact it's why I asked you guys to elaborate ^_^). |
| Note that 90% of the people don't truly understand the story. I'm not saying that you woud automatically like it if you understand it but if your main argument is because you did not understand it I recommend you to give a second try to the show. |

No worse than SUPAA MIRAKURU TIME TRAVEL or waiting 10 years for a headband :| Also, he wasn't going to look for her again. He was going straight to Kanna at the end. I thought that was pretty obvious now that he could fly. |

| And no one tells you why the hell Both have a stories and a reason, where's the difference? |
| It is not better than clannad in my opinion because of strange plot bad danm good anime. Not many stories makes showing up tears from my eyes... |
| Hmmmm, I didn't fully understand the story my first time watching it, but I still thought it was a damn good anime. It's one of my favorites! |

It managed to support itself well enough. But.......that last scene where Misuzu's mom started babbling on about a bunch of crap and told the bird to fly for eternity (or whatever happened its been a while) that ruined the entire show and was totally LAME! I held great affection for this show but then she just kept talking for no reason >.> as she went on my heartbeat slowed and a scowl formed on my face. Does anybody find that part endearing or inspired or necessary in any way!?!?! It was hammy, but I'm always still reeling from "Aozora" around that point in the series. More to the point, its a signifier of Haruko letting go of her past life, telling herself through the bird that she needs to move on now and can't have any part of her life with Misuzu with her any longer and So while it is important, yes I agree it could have been done better than it was. |

| Really? I had some strange idea that everyone loved air xD It's of my favorite anime. It has lots of emotion a great story but i got very depressed after I finished it. The art is very good as well. |

| it is so DEEP... really, really DEEP |

| I guess I liked air but I just found myself bored while watching it half of the time. D: I'm always into these kinds of anime and so I don't know why I didn't love it. I'll probally rewatch it to see if I like it any better the second time though ^^ |
| Among the three Key x KyoAni works, I liked Air the least. I really don't know why. Maybe, just maybe, it was because I found the supporting cast to be really... flat. Funny thing is, I cried at Michiru's arc... What I mean is, the anime was too short and everything about them felt rushed. I watched it pretty while ago, after watching CLANNAD and Kanon, can't really remember exactly what I felt like then... Still, YES, the animation is AMAZING, and it's truly a beautiful anime. But it's not everyone's cup of tea. Maybe I should rewatch it, see if I will like it more. But lol, worst anime you've ever seen? Just... lol. |
 |
| I didnt like it, sure I liked the first half but it was the second half that threw all credibility out of the window tbh. Potato is the best thing in near enough any of Key's works tho. |

SuperKyou said: I didnt like it, sure I liked the first half but it was the second half that threw all credibility out of the window tbh. Seeing as you prefer vignettes to encompassing narratives (Kanon and Clannad > After Story and Air), count me as not surprised. |

| I don't see what not to like about it at the moment, really. Then again, only on episode 5 at the moment.

| I agree with OP, the show tried to do too much, as a result little character development beyond the obvious melodrama. As a result when I say the final episode I was laughing my ass off when....... The main chick, forgot her name, walked towards the mom; I thought it was like watching the special olympics. It's not like i dont like the super moe anime, i thought clannad AS was very gewd, but this just didn't seem to do anything except make things overly manufactured. /rant |
