I realy cryed at the last 2 episodes (11 and 12).Episode 13 was supposed to be a review of the entire series.Yet it is imposible to resume 13 episodes into 24 minutes one so the action seemed very incoerent.A person who had not seen the other 12 episodes would never understand anything from the last episode.I think it was a useless episode.

Don't talk to me about character development if Kaizuka Inaho or Slaine Troyard are in your favorites.

Interesting recap... But it missed something very important... THOSE KIDS AT THE BEACH!!
Anyway, this was a great anime, with a great story(thanks to Key) as well, that's full with Tragedy, yet it's very beutiful as well. I rate this at 9/10!

boy...I am soo glad I took my time reading through this... I was planning on giving this series a 9/10... but after careful consideration I must give it a perfect 10 (the 7th anime to get a 10/10 for me out of ~150 :P)

LOL! Yeah, this episode is somehow unnecessary. I think they don't have any choice, because they said that they're going to release 13episodes, and that they need to announce about the summer special. Well, it's okay.

Still giving it a 9. :D

To me, this episode just took out a lot of the effect of episode 12. I think it's very unnecessary for a series that only has 12 episodes to have a recap episode. It would have not been so bad to have it as the second to last episode, but it just ruins the show's emotion.

I donno what to say... but... 7/10... maybe I'll give it a different score after I re-evaluate it in the future...

I can fully understand the story, however, I just can't bring myself to appreciate it like others. The whole series left me confused until episode 13. A very hard story to understand.

The sad elements are not sad enough in this, perhaps they should've make this a 24 episode series to have more character development so that people like me could understand/love the characters more.

Or maybe because I've just finished Clannad After Story before I started watching this? Which over shadowed this show... (If this is the case... I hope there's not too many show in the future will be effected this way...)

An okay recap ep... Unnecessary yeah.... but well it had tobe there, to make us remember the whole series and the feel it left on us.... Loved the last song... it's the full ver. of Tori no Uta.. YAY.... Oh well at least it wasn't completely useless... At least we've known through this episode that there will be a side story that will extend Kanna's story... nice.... Gotta watch that later :P

you are wrong about one thing
it was not the full version of tori no uta at the end
it was the short version
the full version is 6 minutes long

So this is the recap. That series was just so sad. So the kids they were showing in the opening and as part of the title were actually the reincarnations of Yukito and Misuzu.

This recap was kind of unnecessary as they didn't really explain everything like i thought they would. But oh well. This series really had some tear jerking moments though.

Can't wait to see the Air in summer special.

Meh... I don't really mind recaps that much but this was one of the worst I've seen. Well, obviously it's impossible to coherently summarize 12 episodes into 20 min but this... It was just poorly put together. Oh, and I just realized how some kind of new content can make a recap much better. If they'd just added a narration by one of the characters or something it would have been passable.

I was wondering why there was a 13th Episode, but it didn't show up for streaming, maybe this is why. Interesting. Given what everyone is said, I feel the story is completed at 12, frankly.

Your statement is ironic considering that the story of Air actually does have a purpose. Whereas in Clannad After Story, the ending


The opposite is true in Air. Misuzu's death by collapsing in her aunt's arms near the sea ensures that no longer will the reincarnations of the Kannabi no Mikoto have to live in isolation, and Kanna herself will no longer be tormented by visions of Ryuuya's and Uraha's 'death'.

Can't believe the last episode was a recap...I don't really see the point in that. Overall, the series was okay. I didn't like it at first but as I continued to watch, it got more interesting.

Maybe it's because I didn't marathon the entire series in a day or two like I usually do, but I didn't mind this recap at all. It helped bring to mind some key events from the first two story arcs so the viewer could tie together some plot elements he may have forgotten about. Yukito holding the feather Kano touched and saying it makes him feel nostalgic is understood under the light of Yukito being a descendent of Ryuuya, carrying on Ryuuya's will - the nostalgia was a subconscious reminiscing of when Ryuuya was with Kanna, and it helped having this event brought to mind to add depth to the early arcs that I, at least, had forgotten about. The same could be said for when Michiru told Yukito the only way the girl in the sky could be freed from her "sad dreams" is by collecting happy memories. This makes so much more sense knowing about Kanna's curse.

I dunno; I liked it. I just think it sucks the first 8 or so episodes are compressed into the first 12 minutes of the recap, and the final ~12 minutes is dedicated to the final 2 episodes. It could've been evened out better, though I suppose it covered the most important information from the earlier episodes.

Anyway, good anime. Deep anime. Tragic anime. I just really like that it makes me think about everything and connect all the events together rather than directly handing the information to me. It didn't phase me on an emotional level the way it does others so I definitely can't say it's as good as Key's other work, but I still definitely liked it.

Quick note, this was included in ADV films release of this series, but it is NOT in the Funimation release.

So if you are watching it from the Funimation set, youll have to find episode 13 elsewhere.

Well I originally added a post on "13th" episode of the main series, but seems this finally changed to a separate entree.

This 13th episode was pretty much a generic recap, so nothing too special I must say.
