Air – Episode 12 [Fin]
Sora ~air~

Mar 28 2005 in Air


Am I really supposed to do any analysis?
I’m so damn angry I was totally right. I started to love Misuzu’s character so much the last episodes I almost can’t stand the pain now she’s gone. All the time I was waiting for her cute laugh or a little “gao”. That was rare last episodes.
Finally Misuzu made it to take some good memories with her thanks to Yukito and Haruko (my opinion is no longer she was a side character)…but in the end not enough. Perhaps she was partly cured and the next incarnation of Kanna won’t live such a hard life like the hundreds before did. I want to belive Yukito, Sora whoever will make it within the next hundreds of years to heal Kanna.
But to think of it Misuzu died exactly the same way Kanna did. She also had some positive memories before she died…but she had to die at all. Same with Misuzu. What the little boy in the end says is a hint there was no chance for Yukito to save the girl in the sky. Her fate is always the same. She has to die. But her death is not only tragedy. She brought happiness to Haruko, even after her death. The value of love, family, friendship…with Yukito searching after her he came and even saved all the other girls and gave them happiness, he found happiness himself. If you see the stroy from that side Air is not that tragic and sad at all. There’s sense in Misuzu’s life and even in her death.
I don’t know what else to write, perhaps I have to think it over…

  1. NOO! NOOOOOO!
    I actually can’t believe that! Nooooooo, ugu! I started to love Yukito! I wantet him to be happy with Misuzu. Alltough it’s corny.. but it would have been nice… Yukito didn’t even get kids to save Misuzu’s ,kanna’s or wathever’s soul. NOOOOO! I’m totaly devasted >.< giyaaaahh uguuu.
    (Honto ni gomen nasai for whining around -_-)

  2. who’s not devastated here? well at least she died having a good memory…hopefully she’d rest in peace. although the two children in the end…they’re like reincarnations of Misuzu and Yukito…seems like an open ending to me…like a new beginning of some sorts. but all in all,i’ve never felt such genuine tears when i watched this anime…well this is my first time watching anime with drama on it…whether Kanna’s soul has been saved or not,i still think that there is still more to come from this series.

  3. i think what the guy above meant is that this is his first time experiencing genuine tears(well in this world where almost everyone wears a mask,such emotions tend to be unacceptable)…it’s actually heartwrenching..for me. so much for me being a crybaby…sorry about that.
