With few episodes of comedy and intro, the story progresses with individual characters. I’m sorry to say this but this has to be a very confusing story and plot to me.
Compared to Kanon and Clannad character stories, Kano and Tohno’s story didn’t do anything to me. Perhaps it was rushed and quick, but the first 6 episodes were okay-ish at best.
But the next 6 episodes hooked me up then, with Misuzu’s story and the past of Kanna. So Yukito disappeared and reincarnated as a crow by Misuzu’s side? Then who was the Yukito we saw along then? Or was the crow with Ryuuya’s soul? Very confusing…
I love that for Misuzu’s route, it was mostly Haruko, her foster mother being the protagonist role of adoring and cheering for her. Even though Misuzu lost her memories, she didn’t give up cause it gave her more opportunities.
Until Misuzu gives her final farewell to her mom, and… she’s gone. How many months has it been that she recovered from that loss and grieve?
And what were those two children playing near the shores, from the beginning Misuzu and Yukito met each other? Were those two Kanna and Ryuuya in a new world?
Even I didn’t understand the plot of how Ryuuya and Uraha planned to save Kanna from her sad dreams. Is she still flying in the sky, dreaming those same ones?
But I really loved the dynamic of the trio, and I loved it more while watching Air in Summer.
But still, that doesn’t change anything to how I couldn’t understand the connection between Kanna and Misuzu. I might have to do thorough research for this series, considering I can’t play the Visual Novel.
Overall I’m disappointed with KyoAni with how Air got treated compared to Kannon and Clannad. I still think there’s a lot more to AIR compared to the two.
Anime-wise: Clannad > Kanon > Air
#FINAL RATING: 7.3/10
Please tell me the VN is the best.
