Oh god. Don't tell me things are really gonna go to hell in a heartbeat.

I saw it coming but I was still a little shocked to see Makoto actually drop the cat from the crosswalk. :shock: :cry: At least we didn't see kitty blood everywhere and he came back at the end :D . Though I did make me search for my two cats and give them both suffacating(sp) hugs.


By the way, how similar is this version to the orginal since I never heard of this or the game before this remake? Is it worth tracking down the orginal in some way shape or form or should I baten down the hatches and prepare for something angsty in the coming weeks? Just please keep Ayu safe!!!

Amano was definitely in the original visual novel, but I don't think Toei's version gave her more exposure.

KyoAni's version is a complete remake from Toei's version; this new version follows the visual novel's events far more closely while attempting to interleave all 5 of the main girls' stories. KyoAni is pretty trying to avoid what they did to Air TV which is once the girl's story ends, they're never heard of again.

I would suggest that you hold off Toei's version until you finish this series is over. Toei's version is only about half the length of this, and they were some rushed moments. And not to mention it'll spoil the good stuff that'll come! :wink:

That smile gives me some hope for the rest of this show. That saves me a hell of a lot of time. I'm only about halfway done Air. Well... I have the episodes, but I got stuck watching Suzumiya and then this so I don't know what you mean by having the characters dissappear. Though that did actually happen with Michiru (or was it Minagi? Too confusing!! :x )

But on a general note... I hate cliffhangers!! It sucks being one of the only people following this thread who never heard of this series before.

I have a feeling things are gonna go OSHI- real soon :<

Amano was around in the first show, but she was a side character...I hope they give her a little more of a role...maybe they will seeing as they gave Kitagawa and Kaori more of a role.

One of my favorite shows ever, and so far loving the new one.

here is a AIR + Kanon version of Smash Brothers - http://forum.digitalpanic.net/index.php?showtopic=8837
Kanna is way overpowered though, just stand on the spot and use her explosive feathers. Though Ayu's Taiyaki blast is fun =)))

Episode 8....hehehe, I told ya it'll happen! :twisted:

Here are the main points that happened:

Mishio Amano gets introduced (voiced by the awesomeness of Maaya Sakamoto), and she told Yuuichi not to get too close towards Makoto as it'll only lead to despair.

She also mentioned that Makoto is not human. According to her, a miracle happened which allowed Makoto to take human shape just to meet him. In order for this to happen, she had to sacrifice her memory and her life.

Which means, later on Makoto will.......

Also note the fact how more clumsy Makoto has become.


Hehehe, man this is getting to be more fun!

Episode 9......
Emotions are seriously running high here. Makoto's condition is seriously worsening as she began to regress backwards to an almost child-like state. Amano pretty much briefed Yuuichi about the fox legend that resides on the hill. Yuuichi figured out that Makoto is that fox and also the same fox he took care off in the past.


Dammit! I don't know if I'll be able to handle the next episode! That BGM in the next episode preview didn't make it better. :cry:

This episode (#9) was one of the few episodes to put me on the verge of tears.

It was VERY sad and I'm not looking for what happens next episode, what ever it is will be sadder then episode 09 was.

If anyone wants some kleenex, let me know. I've got a hole pallet of them coming in tuesday.

Personally, I never really liked Matoko. Sure her antics give me a chuckel, but aside from that... meh. I doubt I'll turn on the waterworks. Maybe a little unnerved, but no tears.

Just finished episode 10 and OMG *tears*

At the end when Makoto lost her veil was pretty sad. And then when they were playing with her bell and then she.... it was too sad.

I didn't understand the ending though.

I guess when asked what he would do if he could grant a miraical was what the last scene was of Makoto and her cat.

Did anyone else notice that Makoto said she wished Spring could last forever and then when they got to the hill there was no snow and it was green out. Everywhere else on the walk to the hill and all over the city there was a lot of snow and it suddenly disapeared when they got to the hill. I guess that was part of her wish, for it to be spring forever.

I sort of liked Makoto after a while. Initially, I really didn't like her, but she grew on me once she stopped being utterly contrarian (and after I got over what happened to poor Piro). I'm sad to see her go.

The last scene of her sleeping on the hill in spring or summer with Piro was an excellent touch, I think.

Next episode looks like we get more snippets of Ayu's story and start in on Mai's. I believe KyoAni is going to use Ayu's story as the finale (as they should), and are going to slowly advance it while handling the other girls' stories in a sequential form, like they did Air.


I'm glad I've already started saving to buy the R2s of this series, as it's a definite winner already, even if they bork the rest of the series, which is insanely unlikely.
