The 'girl in the sky' is a legend passed down through the ranks of one special family. Armed with the magical puppet skills he learned from his mother, Yukito Kunisaki follows in her footsteps, traveling from place to place, ever searching for that girl in the sky, ever chasing after that legend. His journeys have led him to a small costal town where he meets a girl that has a peculiar interest in him - could she be the one? As events slowly start to unfold in front of his very eyes, Yukito finds himself amidst a story that spans a thousand summers...
For Aizawa Yuuichi, returning to the town where he spent his childhood has been an unusual affair. Yuuichi, it seems, has forgotten his memories of the past, including encounters with several young ladies who would love nothing more than to see him again. As the days pass, flickers of the past began to surface, revealing more and more of the dark events that once came to be. As the reuniting continues, Yuuichi soon starts to realize that his past may be far more complex than he once believed it to be...
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.
Air and Kanon have a great story and development, it's even possible to cry with it. Might change your way of life.
After having lived elsewhere for several years, Sana returns to the town in which he grew up in, and quickly begins to reacquaint himself to his surroundings and new high school. While there, Sana runs into his four childhood friends: Shuu, Shuri, Aoi, and Nanaka; but for some strange reason Nanaka gives him the cold shoulder. As he goes about his new daily life, can Sana rebuild his friendship with Nanaka while trying to deal with a troubling secret from his past?
If you like anime who brings up much of real lifes problems but in the same time mix in love to the story Then I think you'll enjoy this one. Tho Myself Yourself dosn't have this supernatural events as Air does. But it has the "I'll promis I'll be at your side forever". Side of that in boath series theres a guy who tries hes best to save the girl. So if you like that aswell "hehey an extra score!".
Those two anime show boy who helps girl to overcome her emotional problems and tries to resue her from tough situation. Both series are peaceful, with days of pure joy and indescriable sadness. If you liked one, you will definetely enjoy another.
Emotional struggle and hardships with friends; that's what Myself; yourself is all about, hence making a nice match for Air which is largely built on the same themes.
Air is slow paced, and akward, whereas Myself; yourself has a lot going on in it. Still they are both based on a strange romance and have a bunch of random sadness and sorrow that the characters struggle with.
These series each have a rather slow start, having a completely different story after the first few episodes. Also, the lead male and female in each have a similar relationship, with the male attempting to help fix a major emotional type problem experienced by the female.
Both Air and Myself; Yourself are romance / drama anime where for a long while the romance takes a backseat, and the story lays the focus in solving the problems of multiple side-characters. If you liked this multi-"route" approach in one, you'll enjoy seeing the same in the other.
Myself; Yourself and AIR are both atypical harem anime's. Both animes have a slow, melancholic feel to them that leaves the fewer full of nostalgia during the anime and satisfied in the end. They have a slow pace and are character-centered anime's. If you liked one, you're bound to like the other.
Both of these are touching stories with similar type of story. Both are unique and interesting. If you like one you should give the other a try.
AIR and AnoHana both have beautiful graphics, wonderful characters and a beautiful storyline. They both feature a main girl who "isn't all there" - although in different ways - and a leading man who is very relatable. The casts of both of these animes is outstanding and the characters are the driving force of the series.
AnoHana and Air are both absolutely beautiful series that will make you cry a lot. The two leads of both series are also simialr. You have the happy airhead herorine and the slightly pathetic guy who just can't bear to make her sad. Both stoies also deal with the same themes of love, loss and learning how to move on with life. If you liked one then you should seriously consider watching the other.
Both of the anime are about a laid-back, average guy solving the problems of a group of friends. The main female in each has serious problems, but for the most part focuses on being friends with the main guy, despite the fact that their lives suck really bad.
The main guy of each has a laid-back, somewhat lethargic personality and just happens to solve problems, while the main female of each is air-headed but sweet. The side characters are all different and interesting with their own set of problems.
They each have tear-inducing endings with themes of grieving and letting go. Both are comedy dramas, with loads of comedic moments that fade into big dramatic tearful scenes. If you like one, you're almost garunteed to like the other.
In both, Air and Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae you'll find wondering "Where is this going to?" and then crying like a little girl, a few episodes later.
I only rated Air half star higher due to the originality of the plot, but both are beautiful. Air includes a bit of magical reality, while Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae is overall more "down to earth"; but the feeling on both as they progress is very similar.
The core difference between them encompasses the ending so I'm not gonna tell you what it is. But if you liked one, you NEED to see the other.
Unless you aren't a masochist... but we both know you are...
*sniff* (still crying)
Like Ano Hana, Air also deals with tear-jerking moments and impossible love stories; although Ano Hana does a much better job at pacing itself, I feel that you would also enjoy the dramatic events that unfold in Air.
Narumi Takayuki is a normal high school student with a crush on Mitsuki, the school's swim star -- that is, until he receives a profession of love from his friend Haruka. But amidst the beautiful budding relationship, tragedy strikes when an accident occurs, turning Narumi’s life upside-down. Kimi ga Nozomu Eien is a compelling drama about one man, and the choices he must make for love.
The Air TV series and Kimi ga Nozomu Eien have extremely innocent characters and have similar themes about dwelling on the past. In each series the characters have to learn through harsh emotional struggles that there are things that just can't be changed. Although both are quite overpowering, Kimi ga Nozomu Eien is probably more emotional overall.
Both series features rather painful themes and are wonderful examples on how drama really should be like. While the stories are quite different in nature, both of them generates a similar feeling, that makes it really hard to continue watching, but even more so to stop without seeing the outcome.
If you liked AIR or Kimi Ga, you might like the other because both are very touching series. If you enjoy drama, you can't miss these two.
Kimi ga Nozomu Eien is very similar to Air in the way the romantic story is bittersweet. In both stories the main character must accept the female lead illness, and in both cases lose something dear to him in order for her to get well. Both stories have similar animation styles. Although Air has a bit of a supernatural/magical theme if you liked it you would more than likely enjoy Kimi ga Nozomu.
Death and reincarnation are inescapable, but what happens in between? Without warning and without his memories, a boy who only recalls his last name - Otonashi - wakes up next to a girl named Yuri who offers him a gun and tells him to shoot an angel. Assuming it must be a misunderstanding, Otonashi is then almost killed by the angel and is drawn into Yuri's army to battle to delay the beginning of his next life. Immortality is within reach, but if Otonashi remembers how he died, will he keep fighting or allow himself to vanish?
both Air and Angel Beats are the works of Kei, both share the same feeling, similar character personalities, both were produced by the same studio. If you liked one of these two shows be sure to check the other one as well, but keep some tissues near you while you watch this shows, because without a doubt they will be pretty sad, melancholic.
Although at first these animes seem to have nothing in common, once you've finished them both you notice all the similarities, between characters getting second chances to fulfill their lives.
And for both you'll need a box of tissues on hand for the later on episodes.
This masterpiece (Angel Beats!) has all right to join the Key animation bundle being Clannad, Air & Kanon (2006). And the tear jerking magic they produce. On top of all that they added something extra this time, some comedy and action.
The characters in Air and Angel Beats have similar characteristics. The tones of the characters personalities to one another has the same feeling (probably because they were created by the same person). The melancholic dramas will leave the viewer in suspense until the final scene.
the athmosphere in Air is awesome, enjoy I'd say ^^ Air gives you a similar heart-warming feeling as Angel Beats!
