Loved the cliffhangerish ending XD.... and wha the hell did Kanna's mother said huh? No way in hell... and after all the pains they've been trough.... That's bad.... Signs, Green |

| Finally something more interesting. This episode was pretty decent, the setting and everything completely changed which i liked. The Feudal Error of japan. There was also a bit of action on the story and the plot seems to be coming together now. We get to see why Kana's mother is possessed or tainted, that was quite the cliff hanger! |
  |
| kana was sooo funny and cute X3 the ending was a little twisting though... like it came out of no where 2 change the mood XD i loved it when they were gettin close 2 kana and got banished 2 the corner XP |

| Aww, just when she met her mother, she's sending her away. :( |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| ok this sudden change of plot is making me dizzy lol but it was a good episode i guess,maybe one of the best yet... Air is nowhere as close as clannad anyway -_- |

janeify said: Shouldn't be so surprising as the soundtrack is composed, arranged, and produced by the same people who made the soundtrack for Clannad.why the hell in about 8th minute soundtrack sounds the same as Clannad's ?! : O Whatsifsowhatsit said: I like it too. It's energetic and cute. canephalanx said: God I hate Kanna's voice.. So fucking irritating. Really? I kinda liked it :) I found this Summer arc to be extremely boring when I was younger and first watched Air. How foolish I was! I absolutely loved it now. It was interesting because you finally learn a little bit of why Misuzu and Yukito are suffering. Watching them travel together was hilarious and really cute too. It even had some nice action and the cliffhanger was great. |

(check dates if not) OK, nothing great but contextual info is always good. |

(check dates if not) OK, nothing great but contextual info is always good. Exactly. Clannad was created after I believe... Good episode. This anime has had a few unexpected suprises and directions in plot... I'm glad... Has anyone here seen Gift~Eternal Rainbow~? The begining few arcs reminded me of a better version of that show... good times. |
  |
| So this is the explanation of the girl in the skies. |
| I kinda liked this episode, Kanna is so cute and funny too. :) |
| Well, Kanna's mother sure is loving. |
 |
| for a second i forgot what anime i was watching. |

| ok im up to episode 8 of air so no spoilers of anything after that but wat i dont get is how the main character the guy with grey hair (i forget his name) disappears and then all of a sudden there is some other characters that seem like they are from a different time frame is there something im missing here? |
| Love doesn't exist only companionship ... those you love will always walk away but your companions will always look out for you ... moral of the story - look for a companion not a love intrest |
| *thread merged* Obviously there is a reason for the time change that requires some analysis, and in particular you will notice that there are some similarities between the characters in the present and past. If you continue watching it should become more clear to you, but what they are alluding to is that: |

 I am a banana. |
| yes now that ive watch a little more of the anime it makes sense |
| Love doesn't exist only companionship ... those you love will always walk away but your companions will always look out for you ... moral of the story - look for a companion not a love intrest |
| Easily my favorite episode so far. Ryuuya and Kanna are adorable <3 |

It's just a second storyline that will probably have something major to do with this series in the end |
| nice flashback, i can see the link!! XD but damn, after ALL that travelling, only to be sent back =( |
 |
| Personally, I don`t like anime with samurais and something like that, but here I must admit the story is getting more interesting!.. |
| Best episode yet, which still isn't good. This is sort of interesting. |
| Really sudden transition, but it was handled well enough. And wow, I think Sir Ryuuya (dubbed) has the same voice as Android 17 from DBZ.. O_O Weird flashback haha. 3/5 |
| Im enjoying Kanna and this arc. Air now have some battles too. I demand an Action tag in the Air's page :p |
 |
| Interesting episode I think this arch is more a back story from where the story comes from of the girl in the sky... It's quite lovely actually! |
 |
| The heck is going on? BTW, Kanna is an interesting character. And touching a woman's butt is badass. |
 |
| This whole timeshift is kind of sudden but enjoyable nonetheless. I'm sure that this does play a major part in the main storyline. Next episode may be emotional, it depends on how they execute the part about him dying (or whatever it's supposed to be) in the preview. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| good |
 |
| This is getting weird. jakeisquite said: supermegasonic said: for a second i forgot what anime i was watching. this. 100% this. 20 minutes for me. Kanna's voice is so cute :D The samurai's analogies are killers :D And I love how he's teasing Kanna. |
  |
| Well, that was a good side story. |
 |
| Kanna is worse at juggling than me! ^_^ |
| This series is such a clusterfuck |
| this show is so boring |
| なんとかなる |
| this was much much better than the rest :o |
| Fairly interesting, but I don't get what this has to do with Yukito and Misuzu. |

| I really like this side-story <3 I feel like there hasn't been a lot of comedy in the last few episodes so this one brought it back =) |
 |
| I really thought that I was watching the wrong anime haha. |
| Recommend me an anime |
| This is so much better than the original setting. |

| She sounds just like Saber, Umu! |
 |
| I advise anyone who finished episode 8 go and watch the two OVAs before you proceed to episode 9, as it would make you connect and like the flashback characters more. |
| nice. I doubt it will end happily though |
