  • An awesome anime that is very emotional and addicting, butWAY TOO SHORT!

    I watched this show online and this anime is simply a masterpiece. This show is about Yukito, a wandering puppeteer who one day travels to a very peaceful town on a mission to find "the girl in the sky." He meets Misuzu, a very happy girl who likes dinosaurs. Every time she gets frustrated, she always says "Gow." It's kind of funny. Yukito also meets Kano and Minagi and has great adventures with them. Misuzu has an illness and cry attacks sometimes. Every 1000 summers, the spirit of the angel is reincarnated into a person in the modern age. In this case, Misuzu is the reincarnation. She only has a short time left to live before the curse of the angel takes her life away. In some episodes, you get to see the backstory of the supposed "girl in the sky," which takes place in the Middle Ages of Japan. I also liked Potato, the dog that says "Peko" instead of barking like a normal dog. I find that kind of cute, but really silly. The animation in this show is high quality and very colorful. The soundtrack in this show is amazing. It's very calming and very relaxing. One time I had a really bad headache and could not sleep at night. I watched this show and when the music was playing, the headache just went away until after I watched the number ofepisodes that I watched. It's like the music has healing powers, and if you're having a bad day, I would watch this show and listen to the music. There isn't a lot of comedy in this show, The only real comedy you get is between Michiru and Yukito. There is a lot of emotion in this anime. What makes this anime really addicting is that the storyline keeps you into the show and the characters with excellent personalities give you that feeling of what's really going to happen next. What really ticks me off is that this anime is TOO SHORT. This show is only 13 episodes long and with two summer specials that give more of the backstory of the angel. I wish this anime was about 50 episodes long. So that's about it.moreless

  • I really can't write a summary cause I only started watching it.

    I love this show and I can't believe that no one knows I watch even though I am always talking about it.. This show makes me cry but I LOVE IT. I am only starting to watch this show and i must say that I am impressed on how it captures emotions of the heart. I wonder where you can get this on DVD and when it airs on TV? This is a tie for first with my other fav. show Inuyasha! IF you are looking for one of the greatest animes look no farther this is the best ever! PezMoTezmoreless

  • It's very sad.

    When they meat again, she will die.

    This anime is very sad in a way. And in one way it's funny. You will feel bad for both the aunt and the poor kid.

    The problem with this anime (and the only problem) is that it might be a tad hard to follow the storyline since it changes after half of the series is done. how-ever, you will laugh, you might cry. This is one of the sader animes i've watched. But it's not close to Kimi Ga Nozomu Ein in saddness. There is no real weak spots in this solid anime, if you can follow the splitted story line that is.moreless

  • Air is certainly an anime that can bring emotions towards its viewers. If viewers can manage to make it through the confusion of the storyline, then they will certainly be moved from its moments from either humor or sadness.moreless

    From the beginning, the audience is introduce to a young journeyman named Yukito Kunisaki who likes to make earnings showing off his talent in puppet shows. Unfortunely, things don't exactly as well as he wanted to be. Despite that, he has also been set on a family life goal of finding a girl in the sky while he was traveling. Finding himself in a new town, he encounters the clumsy yet friendly Mizusu Kamio who manages to get him a place to stay at her house. Throughtout the series, three main girls in the town(Mizusu Kamio, Kano Kirishimi, and Minagi Tonio) all befriended Yukito. Unfortunely, all three girls have had a difficulty life since dealing with their pasts. Despite its confusing storyline, the series can certainly get the audiences attention by its humor and sadness itself. The animation is also very well achieved that can kept viewers in awe of enjoying the scenery and the characters that are featured in the show. The music is also beautiful to listen and harmonic for viewers to enjoy. Finally, if anyone is interested in watching this anime you are definitely gonna to need some tissues because it is very difficult not to cry when watching the sad parts be so moving in emotions.moreless

  • Almost painfully beautiful. It redefines what animation is capable of.

    Yukito Kunisaki, he is a poor traveler. A bus lands him in a small town by the ocean. He is starving and is looking for a way to earn money. He has a cute little puppet with which he tries to earn some cash.. but the kids he tries to perform for rudely turn thier noses up. He is hungry and drained of energy so he goes to take a nap on the sea wall by the beach since he has no where else to go. A young girl named Misuzu Kamio stumbles upon him thinking it would be nice to meet him when he woke up. He awakes with a start and sees her standing there on the wall next to him. Her arms outstretched and the wind blowing her long blonde hair. She kindly begins talking to him as if he were'nt a stranger at all. He's confused about why she is treating him this way, but all she truly wants is a friend. He ends up coming home with her and her mother allows him to stay with them. He soon finds that underneath this girls happy smile and cheerful aura.. she is really suffering and alone. She is not accepted well by kids at school and she has never had any real friends. She has this condition that whenever she gets to become good friends with someone she gets sick and has emotional break downs. Yukito grows a soft spot for her very quickly and cares about her very much. He wants to help her. He meets other people in this small town and strange things begin happening. Misuzu has been having strange dreams lately that get more sad every night. Clues from his past and a goal that him and his mother share. Could these be linked to what is happening to Misuzu? I cannot say any more. This show is amazing. It has chracters that you can't help but fall in love with. It will make you laugh and cry, but it is a show that you would never regret watching. This show is beautiful, everything about it is beautiful. It makes you want to strive to be a stronger and better person. It is a show that you cannot watch without loving completely.moreless
