Well...it took half the show for it, but this episode finally sold me on the series. Very emotional; far better than the Kano arc in my opinion.

Awww Episode 6 ruined me. So depressing....

Ohh that's odd... I didn't find this episode depressing at all... I didn't even found it that sad. Mabey is because I watched Kanon? :D


I agree , it wasn't sad at all. I should watch Kanon too.

It was a sad episode.
And yes, it felt a little bit rushed too, but I still liked it..

I hope we'll get to see Tohno again.

There was an element of confusion through most the episode I couldn't quite shake; even after the episode is over and it feels like everything regarding Minagi was answered, I can't shake that feeling of confusion as if I'm still missing something. The weird part is during the last part of the episode, I kept feeling the need to cry at it even though I didn't consciously find it very depressing.

I did like Minagi as a character a lot, though. I wish she was given more development time. Her arc was very touching, albeit short. Perhaps too short to really feel for her the way one would hope... maybe I should play the visual novel.

Nice way to wrap things up =) little Michiru and Minagi are so cute together ^-^

I started to think of how good a couple YukitoXMinagi would be <3

This show has been kind of boring so far.

WTF is with all the hype? I can't wrap my head around it yet.

Fitting too much into 13 episodes. I swear this arc was only 2 episodes. Really depressing too.

The episode was very emotional and detailed in its execution. Honestly, I thought that they would carry on for at least one more episode for Minagi and then then extra one for Michiru, but I do think that they have done an excellent job packing it together.
That, and of course the well fitting cliffhanger, made this episode somehow stand out.

I'm surprised at how effective and impactful I felt that arc was in only two episodes. It probably COULD have been stretched out a little more but I really felt for Minagi and Michiru and swung wildly from very upset when Michiru left ("I'm not sad, I'm smiling after all!" omgggg) to overjoyed when it was revealed that she was essentially reborn as Minagi's beloved little sister after all (and that things were resolved with Minagi's mother -- living like that for years must have been hell). Really nice :')

Usually I'm easily affected by drama, but this anime doesn't trigger anything in me.
Maybe I expected too much.
Well, lets see how the end will play out.
So far rather average.

So Michiru was indeed Tohno's dead sister... Or at least a representation of her. Oh my god. Pretty emotional episode. Not depressing but emotional. The goodbye scene especially.

Goodbye Tohno. Goodbye Michiru. Goodbye Misuzu. I guess only Kano is left to marry ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

rewatched episode 6 today

Michiru likes burger. :3

Minagi is a member of the astronomy club. She says it is a very selective club. She is the club president, because she is the only member. Also, she is proud of her height, because she thinks tall people are closer to the sky.

feeling sad for Minagi. Her mom is crazy.

OK she got reborn?? But she is living with Minagi's dad and is not a baby, meaning there were 2 of her alive at the same time??? Anyways I'm not surprised Misuzu fainted since she's really abnormal.

Good episode yet confusing at times. I feel the anime doesn't do the enough to make me feel sad. It's not 100% a depressing episode but its not a happy one either, i was surprised Michuru was suddenly thrown into the mix. Still, there were tons of irrelevant scenes which made this episode drop back a bit. Worth the excitement nonetheless.

Honestly, the drama in this anime doesn’t really hit. I’m glad Michiru was reborn into the world tho. That was wholesome.

Everything else though, was hollow and not much else. Pretty underwhelming so far.

Oh wow the Minagi arc was pretty quick o.o That was a sad parting with Michiru :'( I'm glad she has a little sister and went to meet her!

Unfortunately Misuzu's fall wasn't all that much of a surprise for me bc I forgot that I hadn't watched episode 6 yet so I went straight to episode 7 and was like “wait what when did this happen to her???” LOL

Only 2 episodes for Minagi's arc, it had potential but then her mom is suddenly ok all of a sudden wtf???

At least Michiru's being as a "human-formed" feather and Minagi's father whereabouts are addressed so it's not a dumb arc

As if I didn't see all this deal with Michiru coming, sigh. Everything's got concluded way to quickly in this short 2 episode arc, can't help but say this is some insane pacing. And just like Kanon can't feel anything here too.

Though anyways seems like now Misuzu's time.

The more I watch this anime, the more I wish I could read the visual novel. If anyone knows a way I could play it, please let me know. I checked out steam and the air visual novel is definitely not available there, which is so sad!!

This episode was also sad.. though I don't care that much Michiru because she didn't have that much screen time. She was still a very likeable character and I didn't wish for her to go away so soon..

I know it's not what the writers want me to be focusing on in this episode but 2 things I can't help but think about for most of it:


  • How does the mother's mental illness just magically disappear, and in the space of like 2 days at that?
  • The father deciding to abandon his mentally ill wife is one thing, but to also leave his not even teenage daughter alone under the supervision of said wife, who thinks the girl is her dead sibling. I mean, was this guy actively trying to horribly scar his kid?


These points were just so stupid to me that I honestly couldn't even bring myself to care about the intended-to-be emotional resolution for Minagi/Michiru's story. In fairness, watching The Day I Became a God before this has probably given me a very low impression of Juna Maeda's writing of mental illness so that probably didn't help. I absolutely loved Kanon which I watched shortly after getting into anime and I'm a bit worried I might find things annoying about that now too if I rewatched it. Although even with these complaints I'm still enjoying this way more than The Day I Became a God.

so this was Michiru’s arc in disguise. I thought it was Minagi’s.
Anyways, kinda sad that she had to go. I loved her funny interactions with the MC.

Air isn’t hitting me at all with the feelings tbh. The arcs are both confusing and rushed, but the characters are very lovable so I’m still enjoying this ride.

I dont get you guys. This is pretty good in terms of character writing. Way more genuine feeling and emotionally impactful than something like CSM which ppl say is a "masterpiece"
