And as Misuzu starts to grow weak and sickly, Yukito realizes that Misuzu is remarkably similar to a girl his mother had been searching for a winged girl who was fated to die young and alone. However, as the two grow closer, Yukito discovers why Misuzu never seems to be able to make any friends: Every time she gets close to someone, she starts to have a mental breakdown. Misuzu is a cheerful yet lonely girl and is the first person in the town that Yukito meets. Both of them are entertaining, yes, but they don’t seem to add anything to the real focus of the story: Misuzu’s arc. However, two of these girls end up with small, self-contained story arcs that don’t really seem to add too much to the story. Initially, Air splits its focus between three of the high school girls. Do not be fooled by this easygoing start, however – Air is anything but “light.” At this point, Air seems lightweight enough: it could easily be summed up with “guy walks around talking to cute girls,” and looks more like the beginning of a harem anime than anything else. Here he meets a number of the town’s inhabitants, most of whom happen to be high school girls. The anime follows a young traveling puppeteer named Yukito, as he comes to a quiet town on the coast. Air is great, and you should watch it.Īir was originally a visual novel published by Key and adapted into a 13 episode anime by Kyoto Animation (the same studio behind Full Metal Panic! and The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya). But you know what, in this case? Screw it. Even so, I’ve always had this nagging instinct to restrain myself from being too enthusiastic, lest I start to sound like a bad salesman. Of course, to a degree I suppose that’s what a positive review is it encourages people to go out and get something. And not because I’m short on words, or can’t work in humor in a way that I like, but because, really, it’s hard to write a positive review that doesn’t end up reading like a badly-disguised advertisement. As a reviewer, in my own (admittedly limited) experience, I’ve found that the hardest reviews to write aren’t about the series that I hated, or the series I was indifferent towards, but the series that I really liked.
