Air

Kanon 2006 is animated by the same studio that Air, so the art is incredibly well-drawn. Kyoto Animation has improved a lot since Air and the story is similar compared to Air TV too. Both are based off of a popular video game and the drama in the anime is reminiscent of them.

I personally liked this remake more than the original. If you liked Air, check out Kanon.

Both anime share similarities in plot elements, plot discovery, and animation style. Kanon and Air are both 'Hansel & Gretel-type,' tales: they hook you, then every few episodes they give you just a bit more back-story.

Kanon and Air both revolve around 1 male and more than 1 females, usually younger in age ( -Gao- ).

If you like one, chances are high you will like the other.

Both Kanon and Air are based on games by Key Visual Arts, and both have that tearjerking emotional response that entertains not only your mind, but your heart as well.

Kanon 2006 is a full remake of the original Kanon in 2002, but before Kanon 2006, Air TV was created by the same studio. In my opinion, Air TV set the bar for adaptations of romance/comedy visual novels with its high quality animation. Air has one of the best soundtracks to date with a beautiful opening and ending song that many have voted to be one of the best.

Both series are animated by Kyoto Animation and are based on a visual novel by Key. So you will see similarities between the beautiful character designs, the quality animation, the touching story, and good music. These two anime should definitely not be missed.

Kanon and Air have a lot of the same characteristics and styles, mostly because they were both developed by the studio "Key". You'll first notice a trend with the characters' personalities, followed by the stories: both revolve around a main male character who has just moved into town, who ends up living with a mother/daughter pair. Both anime also have characters with similar personality types such as a younger girl who seems to dislike the main male character but actually likes him, a shy girl who gives off a very mysterious but interesting aura, and a girl who has a unique and unforgettable catch phrase (such as "Uguu" and "Gao").

Overall both anime share a lot of the same aspects, and if you liked either you'd be able to easily jump into the other and watch it.

Both Kanon and Air are melancholy love stories with a similar flow and style. Some of the same character archetypes and story elements appear in both, but that is not to say they are rehashes of each other. If you are looking for a touching anime that will put you through a range of emotions and ultimately tug at your heartstrings a bit, both of these will be a great watch.

Kanon 2006 and Air are made by the same studio, they are both charming love stories, filled with true love, sadness and happiness !

Also, they both have sad parts :( but you will be glad that you watched them and you may even cry and possible smile at the same time.

The scenery is astonishing in both of them, the studio shows that they are good at summer settings (air) and winter settings (Kanon). If you watch them back to back, it gets kinda weird to see the same styles used in different climates, but it works well for them.

In Kanon, you get more connected to the side characters, but in Air you tend to connect to the main character. I've always been a fan of sidekicks, so I fell in love with makoto from Kanon.

Kanon (2006) and Air are from the same makers and this shows. Both series have the same genre and the same sense of mystery. Therefore you will probably like both: Air and Kanon (2006).

Kanon (2006) and Air are both by the same studio, and based on visual novels. Both are really emotional and have a mysterious sence about them, if you liked one of them then your shure to like the other aswell.

Driven on a plot based on the past, both anime shows colorful characters that each have a past that they can\'t seem to escape.

Both anime have romance and adventure, as the main characters look into their pasts to see how they can try solve problems that will definitely ensure they can have a future.

Both of these anime's are created by Kyoto Animation, so this in turn makes the art very similar. So if you liked the art of one, you will surely like the other. The storylines are very similar as well basing themselves around a mysterious character that has mysterious mannerisms. Both of these anime's will make even the hardest of people feel a little sad, and both of them will play with your emotions, but most importantly, both will make you want more more more!

The same creators are responsible for Air and Kanon and it shows: from the character design to the pacing and plot, these are indeed akin titles that should appeal to a similar fanbase. Both are heartfelt anime that compel the viewer to empathize with he characters. However, Air takes drama to a whole different level and becomes downward tragic while Kanon manages to retain a bitter sweet feeling.

High production values? Check. Based on highly successful dating sims made by Key? Check. Lots of cute girls acting cute? Check. Drama that seems to take sadistic glee in hitting you where it hurts? Check!

It is relatively obvious why you would also like Kanon 2006 if you liked Air: Not only do they have the same original source creators and animators, they both deal with roughly the same subject matter, being some of the best 'dating-sim' adaptations there are. Of the Key-Kyoto Triad (Air, Kanon 2006, and Clannad) Air has the most plot-driven story, Kanon the best slice-of-life and moe, and Clannad currently has the best comedy.

Like Air, Kanon centers on a young man who must help several girls overcome their personal problems, many of which involve magical circumstances. Both are emotionally intense and a good watch for seeing the changes that go through the male hero as he helps each girl overcome their problems.

I have to say that I first watched Air, and followed up with Kanon 2006. I LOVED Kanon much more than Air personally (since I wasn't too fond of it to begin with) but even so, these two have so much in common, both in animation and story telling.

The male protaganists themselves are quite different, however I find that their opinions and approaches to situations are similar (especially with the different girls). Perhaps its the direction of the anime, but both leave you with a feeling of hope for the male characters.

If you liked Air, I cannot promise that you'll enjoy Kanon more, but I felt that Kanon gave more time and character developement to the girls (not just one). If you liked that aspect of the anime, definitely watch Kanon 2006!

Both Air and Kanon follow the same theme... the story keeps going back to when the main characters forgot stuff in the past that were important, however, Air is more elaborately planned at that! And while both anime are guaranteed to bring tears they are definitely an interesting watch with very gripping storylines! They'll have humourous beginings but trust me you'll wanna get that tissue box near you when you reach the later episodes! (especially Air!)

Both Air and Kanon were made by the same anime studio. They have therefore a lot of similarities. Either Air or Kanon tell a story of a boy surrounded by girls who try to resolve a secret of his life. Both makes you cry like a child and are very touching especialy when it comes to someone's unhappines.

Hmm best word should be "trilogy". That anime have "special" thing in storyline, it's making you felling curious about everything : main characters, their lifestyle, relations ships, you want to watch it more, and more. If you liked Air, you would also like Kanon 2006.

Kanon and Air are both great anime based off of visual novels by Key. They both pull off drama exellently and show you a great cast of charactes.

These two animes have many aspects in common yet they both have diffrent story lines. Each one has a combination of drama, comedy, and maybe a hint of romance. They tend to get sad at the end of the series but don't let that stop you from finishing. They have amazing animation and made by the same studio.

Both animes have interesting charcters whether its Ayuu who says "Uguu" or Misuzu with her love of dinosaurs, "Gao". If you liked one you would like the other.

Both series have the same plot. Both series also have a man/boy who is in need of help, and meets this girl who is willing to help. But as the series' unfold it is the man in the end who helps the girl. Also both seires have the snese of strong friendship between the main characters. If you liked air, you will like Kanon 2006.

Anime from same studio ... In both great love stories with dramatic scenes ... Very good characters and GREAT storyline :) Charactres with interesting past ... and even more interesting future ... There is one difference but u should see it on your own ... LOVE , DRAMA , COMEDY what u need more ?? One of the best anime ive ever seen ... If u watched AIR u must se KANON !! :D

There are mysterious stories with each girl around main male character. Animes are about dream what happens in real. Magic, mystery etc. exist in both animes.

Yuichi and Yukito(male main characters) are same. Making jokes to girls around them, being just normal.

Both are made by the same studio so it means animation, draw and other things what are made by studios are similar.

Having been created by the same studio, the artistry involved is remarkable meaning that the only thing that you have to worry about is the plotline and story.  However, both of the series pull this off with ease, weaving a tale that is both deep and magical.

Both Kanon (2006) and Air go over the stories of different girls with their (often supernatural) problems in arcs, with the male lead helping them out. Infact, these shows are so similar in that aspect, that if you'd forget about the small differences in personalities of the main characters, almost all of the arcs could belong to either shows. If you liked the one, definitely give the other a try.

Both shows are by Kyoto Animation, KEY and Visual Art's. Combining the brilliant visual novel features into the anime, Kyoto Animation captured the brilliant tear-jerking scenes of the visual novels in both of these anime. Kanon has a deep focus on tragedy, and this is shared in Air. Real heart-breaking moments show up in both anime.

Sola is a story about the sky and a complicated romance between a"yaka" and a boy. Its premise is similar to Air, involving the similar notions of sacrifice and keeping promises. 

Both Air and Sola feature kind-hearted guys with caring hearts that they extend to a girl in need. The female characters are loveable and there is much more going on than meets the eye.

Air and sola both serve as a refreshingly different take on the genre - rather than focusing on romance, much more attention is given to the overall plot. In each of these anime the main character encounters a girl who seems to be cursed in some way, and make an effort to find a way to save her. Both shows have backstories that go hundreds of years in the past, and have plots that opt for a very unconventional direction towards the end. They have their differences - Air is a good bit more dramatic and operates in a story arc fashion, whereas sola actually has action scenes - but in general having the same basic plot structure gives these two a fairly similar feel. If you found one of these to your liking, you may very well enjoy the other as well.

Both Sola and Air are beautiful anime definitelly worth watching by fans of romance/drama with a bit of fantasy . They are both cute and mysterious. Also the animation is very similiar. There's definitelly a high chance that if you liked one, you will surely like the other.

Both are drama and have some fantasy, they are very similar like the importance of the sky. If you like air you will like sol.

Two very deep and moving stories on an ethereal level that have so much in common, and are yet so different.

If you enjoyed the characterisation and relationships in Air, this is also visible in Sola. Sola, however, takes the magical aspect of Air much further and is deeper rooted in Fantasy.

There are enough similarities and heart warming moments in both shows for people to associate the two, but do not expect them to both go in the same direction.

An anime about people with limited time and feeling solitary as that time passes by.  Sola is much like Air in a certain sense... you sense the futile effots of people extending the time that they don't have.  You sense their frustration and hopelessness and the weight of their curse.

Both Air and Sola are stories of a chance meeting of a boy and girl revealing a strange and mysterious past. Kind and helpful boys, girls with strange secrets, and supriseing twists show up right and left in both! Each series has it's own unique plotline that catches and keeps the views interest.

All in all, both Air TV and Sola are great watches, if you liked one, you will most definately like the other! I would highly reccomend watching both series!

Both revole around a dream with the sky and have wonderful art work too. There is more than it seems with both anime as each has it own hidden secrets.

As the titles suggest, the sky plays an important, though not overly dominant role in both series. Air and sola are both touching, romantic stories about a kind-hearted guy meeting and falling in love with a girl who's involved with the supernatural in one way or another (sola a bit more than Air). Both stories have loyalty, sacrifice and mystery as themes to support the romantic plot. If you enjoyed one of these and are looking for something similar, give this one a shot.

Yes, I went for the obvious choice...

Air and Kanon quickly broke their way into my heart with beautiful characters and a soul wrenching story. Both shows are based on a past love, long forgotten, and the slow realisation that what is deepest in the heart is right in front of them.

Two of the saddest and most beautiful series I think I have so far watched.

The breath taking art work and beautiful music in the Air series is matched in the Kanon series. These two short series will both draw you in and bring you to tears. They are both heart breaking stories of friendship, love and losing them. Grab a box of tissues and enjoy both of these amazing series.

There he is. New in town, minding his own business... and then he meets her. And suddenly, he has someone to take care of. Mystery, melancholy, interesting plot, well-developed characters and more importantly, heart moving love story... if this is what you've enjoyed the most, then you should probably try recommenden show as well.

Both are by the same studio, both are based on visual novels, and both are absolutely fantastic.

The characters in each have their own intricate backgrounds and personalities, and both have the ability to make you cry.
