Air

Posted by in Anime Video Reviews | | 18 comments

Due to budget cuts I am unable to show you a review today. But what I DO have is a fun little puppet show!…oh ok, and a review after that.

If you were kind enough to watch all the way to the end, I left a little audio hint to the next video. Can you guess what I’m doing next?

    XDDDD That was an AMAZING puppet show! I’m so happy you actually had puppets in this review! +1!

    Also, yay Spaceballs reference!

    Pfft, that plot summery. XD

    Thanks for doing this review, Ark!

    I`m gonna guess, for next review. I might be crazy but….

    I think it`s the dialog from the first episode of Usagi Drop, when Daikichi asks Rin if she wants to stay with him.

    I could be wrong, I don’t speak Japanese.

      Yeah, you’re right.

      Well, I think. I remember that specific part as well.

    Nice Pinkie Pie. Hope you plan on reviewing MLP as a joke someday. That would be very lolful.

    Onto the review! Yeah, there isn’t much to say about this type of show, but you did make it very entertaining. I do think I’ll wait on watching it after this. Sounds interesting, but I do want to catch a few other things first. Thank you very much.

  • Kane

    Good review.

    If you dont really like US versions of Moe try Strike Witches.

    Question: I dont want to sound rude but why do you eyes look…fake?

  • Silvercyrus

    I liked the second half, I wished they just focused on that.
    (although this is coming from someone who dislikes visual novel adaptations)

    VERY excited for the next review >.<

    Very good review. I definitely agree with the middle section and second half stuff, totally ruined the show for me and made the ending have very little effect.

    There are only two shows that i’ve had this problem with and I dislike them for the same reason. Air and Chobits. The first half of both shows are fantastic and I really enjoyed them… up until the mid point of the plot. Im not scared of change but the twists those shows had in the middle were just too out there for me as far as how the show played out until then and just ended up being confusing.

    In the case of Air it made the ending hollow and as far as Chobits it just went exactly where I didn’t want it to go (but that might just be me). This makes me dislike both of them, but not because they’re bad. The fact that they were so good then just went so far off the deep end that it was work to finish them just makes me hate the fact that they were good to begin with, which is a very strange position to be in with a show.

    Sorry for the long comment but that was the best way I could think of to say my opinion on them without seeming like im just hating on them for the sake of hating on a popular show.

    And since I can’t think of a good way to switch to this… Woot Usagi Drop lol.

    OH MY GOD!! I HAS AN ANIME FOR YOU TO REVIEW!!! It’s based off a video game like Higurashi and is from Studio Deen. Sadly, it’s unlicensed, but still it’s AWESOME!! It’s one of my favorites! It’s called Umineko no Naku Koro ni or When the Seagulls Cry.

    For some reason my society decided to watch this and about half way through the episode I decided I would be a little funny and shout “SPOILER ALERT! *** ****” while pointing at a character. (Not going to say what I said.) So we finish watching said episode and my friend shouts me over to read something (while laughing of course.) What I read said pretty much what I said.

    P.S. I still hadn’t seen the ending of this when I said it.

  • Jesse

    I actually found that I liked the movie version of Air more than I did the TV series version. The plot is more focused and makes a bit more sense becasue it only focuses on the Misuzu arc and how the Summer arc (medieval bits) ties in with it.

  • Wesdavis91

    I loved this anime and i found it by accident so yea for accidents

     All I want is just an anime adaption of Planetarian. Just a short 6 parter even. My one condition is that Kyoto doesn’t do it, because they’ll just moe it up beyond recognition.
