| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Mmmm...Good episode but these are the fillers I hate most. You know the kind where it's like fillers but with new content spliced in, so, you have to watch it... Kind of confusing with the crow, is the crow Yukito or what? |

| Ahh~ I pitty poor Yukito's fate... I still don't really get it though... Is he really dead? What exacly "killed" him? Appearantly, he's now gone... :S Anyway, episodes 11 and 12 seem like they will be excruciatingly sad... 13's supposed to be a "re-telling" episode of the whole plot, right? I''l watch the 11th tomorow. |
| What happened to Yukito? I don't get it. XD Why did he became the crow? So from the beginning, his spirit is in the crow even when he's still alive as human? |
     |
| Yeah I'm confused now too. Don't understand how the crow appeared to be someone incarnated into a crow and watching Yukito and Misuzu together then later the person it's incarnated from is Yukito. Oh well better to just keep forging ahead rather than trying to figure out the paradox. |
    |
| okay I understand most of It.. but I dont want to get ahead of myself.. cause I might be wrong.. But aside from the sad/serious parts.. I LOL'd so loud at the crow parts when Misuzu's mom had him on the motorcycle. Oh and the "Does It taste like cicadas"? xD... |
     |
| loved it! |
   |
| Nice episode... the drama evolves muahahaha... So then... the Crow ended up being yukito but reincarnated... Weird... I guess it has something to do with the Buddhist belief that a person soul's can reincarnate in two different bodies.... like happened to Yukito this time.... Hmmm kinda fillerish yeah but the whole things was retold in the crow's POV..... which was really refreshing.... I guess the anime is preparing us for a bombastic ending :P Signs, Green |

| I found this episode very similar to the Clannad: After Story 6th episide: "Forever By Your Side" both of these episodes have something to do with some sort of animal linked to a loved one. saying: "I will always be by your side". |
| wtf?! what's wrong with Yukito. and i didn't see that raven before -.- i don't get it o_O /// i like Haruko. |

| What the hell?? Omg this show is getting twisted around. Yukito is a crow?? How did this happend, i thought he was a human, if any one has any information on this, feel free to explain but i guess i will continue watching to find out what the heck is going on here. |
  |
| im glad he remembered... but still... i feel really bad 4 him!!! i hope everything turns out good though 4 her and her new mother X3 |
 |
| Feel sorry for Yukito. :/ |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| So... Yukito's turned into a crow? lolwut |

| Seems like a lot of people are confused. Before the "Summer arc" with Kanna, Ryuuya and Uraha, Yukito begged that he wanted to relive the summer with Misuzu. I'm guessing he somehow used the magic that has been passed down from Uraha to "duplicate" or reincarnate into the crow, Sora. It seems like the original Yukito is really gone now, but he lives on in Sora. I loved this episode. It shows the events that occurred in the dream arc from Sora's point of view. You actually get to see the cicada flying into the food and a lot of other things that happened "behind the scenes". Looks like Misuzu met Yukito the day before they met in episode one, but he was asleep. We also get to know the reason why Haruko is distancing herself from Misuzu - she doesn't want to be attached because her brother might come and take her away. The cake that Yukito recieved from a man in one episode, it turns out it was actually for Misuzu in the first place, although I kind of expected that. |

clannad4ever said: why the hell is the main character a crow now?xD i so want to get into this like i got into clannad but i just can't :( If you paid attention to the Summer Arc (the one that took place in the past), you would understand. You'll recall that one of the last scenes is Kanna taking to the air, causing some widespread destruction, and then being shot with many arrows. There were also dudes chanting which cursed her. Recall that Kanna sees a scene with Ryuuya and Uraha both dying. Of course we know that Ryuuya and Uraha survive and end up having a kid, etc. She is cursed to see that vision over and over again. Anyway, the same curse that afflicted Kanna is also upon Misuzu. She cannot get close to anyone. If she does get close to someone she'll get sicker and sicker and eventually die. Yukito realized this, and thus separated himself from her. However, he couldn't leave her alone, so using magic past down from Uraha he puts all his feelings into the little doll and becomes a crow (be it through death->reincarnation or magic) so he could be near Misuzu and watch over her. |
| This episode is great. We can saw true what the Haruko feel for the Misuzu. I hope she adopt Mizuzu, because in preview show the father Misuzu back. |

You make it sound so simple. :P I did get it, but it all kind of smacks of 'cheeeeeeese'. But, considering they only had 13 (12 if you don't count the recap) it was done pretty well. |

But, considering they only had 13 (12 if you don't count the recap) it was done pretty well. yeah they should make a remake,with something like 24 episodes.. the story is abit hard to follow because of the few episodes...and you can't get into the characters |

| Quite hard to understand. |
| Wafu~ ! |
| I don't see how Clannad fans can accept that Shima (a cat) can turn into a dude, but yet can't accept that Yukito turned into a bird. So silly ^_^ |
| Lmao, the whole episode I was like, "Why am I watching all the past episodes in a crows perspective?" Anyways, I hope Yukito turns back to a human :( But I get why he is a crow in the mean time. Pretty much because that's how he can stick close to Misuzu and not get them both killed. |
 |
| Not too complicated.. but I'm glad people are explaining it so eloquently. Honestly, I think Yukito (the "human consciousness" part) is gone, but he lives on literally in the "crow." Very interesting... |
  |
| I understood what happened. But.. I don't recall seeing a crow before this episode. o.0 |

Yeah I agree with you.. I feel like people don't like this anime because everyone compares it to Clannad and Clannad is better. But I like Air alot, even tought I wish their where more eps. |
| Yukito is a crow watching over Misuzu now. Wonder what will happen from now on... |

| I'm a little confused by this but here's my theory and only conclusion i can draw at this point. Yukito Died the first time right before that whole past arc, and when he did he used his magic to reincarnate himself as a crow, for whatever reason. But when he reincarnated himself he was reincarnated at a point where he was still actually alive. So his living soul and Dead soul were both present at the same time. I don't know why though? |

This is not a filler! They are tying up the gaps in the story. This is a very nice episode in which the story is explained in a wider sense. Any, Yukito is not the crow!! How come you came up with this kind of conclusion? Don't you see both the crow and Yukito together? Maybe in the later episodes, they are gonna say that the crow was somehow Yukito, but until now, there is not any such a-priori information. For now, the existence and identity of the crow is a total misery. |
| Great episode I do wonder whats next! |
 |
| Not a lot of development in this episode, but it confirm a few things for me. Comedy in here was great though. Preview looks serious, I'm looking forward to it. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |

| I liked the episode itself, it felt great to watch, I just don't really get the story around the crow. But the episode was great anyway. (V) |
  |
| The episode was nice. Most of it was a recap with the crow. But i'm still confused of what happened at the end : l |
 |
| The double Yukito! So he watched what she has done Alain. |
| ... my gosh, this episode made me realize just how much I love Misuzu. ;n; she's so cuuuuuute. Despite the explanations in this thread, I still don't think it makes sense that Yukito lived as a human and as a crow simultaneously. Veretax said: The oddity of the cake is not so odd now. It took your comment here for me to actually connect this event. So the guy who dropped the cake off with Yukito was actually Misuzu's father... the cake ended up getting back to his daughter anyway. How touching. |

| I feel like this show is dicking around with a plot that is seemingly made up as it goes along. They try to tie in the past with the present with a paradox about Yukito being the crow that just feels like a ass pull. They somewhat clarify the significance of the winged people with connections to her dreams, notice i said SOMEWHAT. 15 episodes long & feels like a messy trainwreck 2/3 through If this show gets any more convoluted then I don't see it getting anything higher than a 5/10 from me |
 |
| I'm eager for the next episode. |
