About Air

Meet Air, a drama, romance and slice of life anime by Kyoto Animation (2005). Here is the premise in a nutshell. The setup: Yukito Kunisaki is on an adventure in search of the Winged Maiden who was bound to the sky centuries ago, after hearing an old childhood tale from his mother. As Yukito shows his puppet show to people in an attempt to make some money, he stumbles on himself in a small town in which he did not expect to stay very long.

Another thread: However, when he runs into an unusual girl named Misuzu, things take a drastic turn as he is invited to stay with her. By staying in the quaint town, Yukito soon becomes friends with the locals. As he gets to know them better, he learns of their problems and decides to help, putting his search for the Winged Maiden on hold.

In a drama series like this, character writing and emotional payoff matter more than spectacle. Voice work is led by Daisuke Ono as Yukito Kunisaki and Tomoko Kawakami as Misuzu Kamio. It will appeal most to viewers who prefer story and feelings over flashy action. At 13 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
