I finished the serie some hours ago, and here are now my 2 cents of wisdom concerning the end Smile

..

There seems to be some confusion about where Yukito went and whether he was the crow and such. I think this all makes sense under one condition, that the possible incarnations of a soul do not neccessarily have to be only within the lifetime of a distinct individual at one time, or in other words: that a soul can inhabit only one body within a certain period of time. Hence some sort of 'overlapping' is possible, granting the soul to gather experience from different perspectives, as in the case of Yukito and the crow respectively the young boy at the beach.

The confusing thing is that there is no clear explanation whatsoever why there is a sudden change from Yukito to the crow Sora. The story makes only sense if you are capable of thinking in terms of parallel but nevertheless causal existence. My guess is: Yukito -> Sora -> Boy at the beach.

It is revealed at some point that Yukito's doll has stored the magical power (of previous generations) to make a wish come true. When Yukito kneels before Misuzu's bed and holds her hand, he wishes from the depths of his heart to start anew and this time save Misuzu (former Kanna). Then the doll emits a bright light and from then on, Yukito is gone. The crow Sora takes his place and this is where salvation of Misuzu (Kanna) can actually begin.

In the end Sora says that he is going to search for the lonely girl with wings in the sky, and I assume that he actually finds her. This is not clarified, but implicitly must be so regarding the boy at the beach and what he has to say at the end. At that time, all 3 perspectives/'incarnations' if you like, are at the same spot, not knowing they are one and the same. Confusing at first Wink

, I know.

I think this overlapping-of-incarnations means of storytelling is a very nice thing, because one has to adopt a different (parallel-causal) view of things to fully understand what the heck is going on.

blinkgdl, there should be a 2nd season of Air, but I think it won't be out anytime soon. Isn't there sort of a trailer after the last episode of Air? Or am I wrong about this?

Seems like people don't like the ending, eh? Well hopefully the movie will pick something up. It was a touching anime indeed. Sad, though.

The movie I think will just be the anime again but in a different perspective and shoved into a 2 hour length.

I love this anime.it really touches my heart .i really pity mizuho because she never really had friend in the past or present.its really sad that could never get real close to anyone without getting a frenzy and that Yukito had to change into that crow.

its a sad story about her and the people arond her.by the way,i knew those 2 kids had to do something with the story and the icon of AIR.

Can someone tell me,is this the same people who made Kanon ?cause the drawing is kindda the same,so is the story.

Air is really a masterpiece. Both the tecnical quality and the great history are great. And the atmosphere is marvelous too. Is like a dream. Its a true beautiful anime. its now one of my favorites.

By the way, yes, its based in a game of KEY. They are famous for the beautiful, touching and sad histories of their games. Another games from KEY are Kanon (yes, adapted to the animation too), Clannad and the beautiful Planetarian. (Thanks to Insani we can enjoy this touching story in English now).

In the ending, as I see it, the two boys are the new incarnations of Kanna and the Samurai. The curse has not been broken so the circle is still running. But if they are together being childs, maybe this time Kana could be saved from the curse.

Anyways, a beautiful anime...

it was just a tad bit too depressing.

Doesn't someone have to buy them for everyone else to get them free?

Anyway, I finished this series and I don't think the crow thing was a reincarnation. Think about it, when everything was going on, Sora was never there. I think when Sora reappeared all the events to see Yukito(himself) and Misuzu go through all those conversations so Sora can be the next generation to look for the sad girl in the sky because since Yukito basically disappeared, how was he going to have everyone continue looking for her?
