Wow, a lot happened haha. Not the best pacing, but it was an interesting episode.
I honestly haven't been a big fan of Air, but this explanation of the plot has been pretty engaging.

And awkward much? LET'S HAVE A CHILD TOGETHER XD

Great episode a bit sad but tells you a nice back story! The ending was a bit confusing did he re-incarnated in to a crow ?

I got the part about re-incarnation and stuff really fast, I just realized it instantly.
This made me cry, and not just a little bit. For minutes, until the ending.
It's been a long time since this happened, this is the power of anime for me.
I will rate this 10/10 unless the ending for some reason really sucks.
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page.

Ryuuya was reincarnated as a crow. Now we know why Yukito has this strange ability. And things are starting to make sense after this episode.

I agree. For an anime that was supposed to be sad, that was by far the best part.

This was a pretty solid episode that added a lot of depth to the story, in my opinion. A kind of depth that I didn't see in Clannad, and have yet to see in Kanon (not yet finished with it) either. It didn't actually directly answer questions; it presented the answers while letting you piece the information together yourself. That was very cool. In fact, I'm not entirely sure I've completely pieced it together myself yet.

As someone who watched the Air movie before the TV series, I finally understand the importance of that crow in the movie. Interesting that the series actually made me appreciate the movie more in this regard.

So the only questions left are... why is Yukito a crow, and how is he going to aid Misuzu (Kanna) in ridding her of her curses?

Did Uraha take her own life when Ryuuya died? We saw them running in some field together right after he was dying under the tree.

I'm surprised high priest Chitoku doesn't get as much respect. He's a reasonable authority figure who not only helped Ryoku and Uraha find a way to save Kanna but he also summoned them to his temple to help them no questions asked. He's also a benevolent figure who cares for Kanna in contrast to the other monks who put her through hell in the first place.

The best arc so far. Felt a little sad for Kanna and her mom. At first I thought this arc would be unnecessary, but finally things turn out to make sense.

Such a nice episode. Best arc in my opinion. Really bittersweet though, we got a sad ending for Kanna and a good one for Uraha and Ryuuya. I'm glad they thought about Kanna until the very end.

This is hands down one of the best episode in the series. All the question and mystery were answered and tied nicely. Imo this flashback Summer arc is one of if not the best arc in the series.

I probably benefit it from watching episode 8 then jump to watch the two OVAs about the journey(Summer arc) then back to episode 9. Characters are much more fleshed out and you would connect with them more.

"Ryuuya, i'm the magic scholar so believe me: you can save Kanna in the future if we marry, have sex, kids and stay togheter the rest of your life"

"Sure Uraha! Thanks!"



Man, that Uraha was very smart. Even for a backstory, it is the 1st time i see the secundary girl of the Harem completly winning the guy. Won with flying colours, and all that was planned since the moment she convinced him to help Kanna to meet her mother.


Btw, for punishment, in the central history she is absent. Yukito's mother was her reincarnation.

Yukito is Ryuuya descedent/reincarnation.


And Misuzu inherited Kanna's curses.

Ahh okay, this episode clears up a lot more about all the supernatural stuff that's going on in this show. Like the parallels between Kanna and Misuzu's dreams, Ryuuya and Yukito's drive to save the winged person, etc.

Omg when Uraha was like “you can make a child!”...if you can't do it, then just make it your child's burdern! LOL xD

Yo what, Yukito is a crow now?? O_o

This has gotten way too weird for my liking, but it does clear up the origins of Yukito's powers

What even was Kanna's goal when she flew up in the sky? Am I missing something here coz it doesn't look like she's trying to defend Ryuuya and Uraha like her mother did

Okay just 2 episode arc, even though it was fast and furious, will still take this over any other one. Atleast it did explain few things around.

But hey that make a child line cracked me up, like how she was saying all of that with such a straight face. Also Yukito's a crow now??

Not gonna lie, I almost cried with the story. I am feeling glad I finally get it lol

Except Yukito now being a crow, which is... wtf.

Oh apparently Air in Summer fills the holes in the story from what I see, will check these later.
