Ask Fred Piro Galagher if you want a synopsis.

Air TV: ED
spoiler[Commonly Asked Question: Why did Misuzu die early? What's the purpose of Yukito's sacrifice? What are Misuzu's goals? Erm... there are plenty, but I would prefer to give my own opinion on just a few... Remember the line, "putting in an ocean of water to a small container would make the container break"? Misuzu is somehow, a reincarnation of Kanna or lets just say winged being (from eps. 7-10), but her human body couldn't contain all the spirit and memories a winged being has, so therefore her body gradually weakens to a degree that it will breakdown. Anyway, she has a curse that if she becomes happy due to having companions, she'll feel pain and see dreams and receive some memories. She doesn't have anything that you could consider intimately close to her. And in relation with Yukito's sacrifice, she would have lived long if her mother didn't comeback. The thing that would happen to her would be "Living a long lonely life" or "Living a really short life but filled with memories of happiness with her auntie (mother)". In fact, after Yukito disappeared, she was beginning to recover (not seeing anymore past dreams again [her dreams are related to eps. 7-10]) until her auntie returned and if I'm correct, because she is becoming friendly with her, the curse has returned too. And Yukito's goal? his goal is to give happy memories to the girl in the sky via Misuzu (Kanna [Winged being]). Anyway if you remember the last line Ryuuya said to Uruha (Eps. 9 I guess) "Forget about me and Kanna and be happy with your own life" that's also the same with Yukito, forget about the girl in the sky (Kanna) and be happy with Misuzu, but it was too late as she already lost all hopes to live. The only thing that has save her from dying was Yukito's sacrifice. As for Misuzu's goals, one is "the love of the mother she desired, the love of the man she adores, and that she wants to see the sea". She received the motherly love she desired, but I wonder about the second, and I also wonder about the third too. I forgot if it has been mentioned in the Anime about Yukito's wish to go back in time where she first met Misuzu, then surely, he'll never leave her side again. That's when Sora is born. ] Sorry, I'm not good at explaining things  but I hope that give you some idea

Thats a pretty damn good explanation.
Uhh sora was the bird right?... what importance does he have? spoiler[ and by Yukito sacrificing himself, he saved the winged angel or w/e he was talking about earlier right?] sorry, its sorta sounding like an english prompt or something lol |

Here's another spoiler
spoiler[and by Yukito sacrificing himself, he saved the winged angel or w/e he was talking about earlier right? Well, actually, Yukito's sacrifice was for Misuzu's sake. And about Sora, do remember the words Yukito said to Misuzu before he disappeared? something like "I would never leave your side anymore?" he fulfilled that one in the Sora's form. Actually, the winged one is already gone way back before, that's why she has returned to the cycle of life (reincarnation), but her spirit or memories is suffering from sadness. In order to save it from being tortured, her partial reincarnation should obtain happiness and deliver it to her. Like in Michiru's case, she's a part of the winged one, in the end, she disappears but she did not disappeared with regrets but with happiness. As for Sora, he's Yukito's reincarnation, but not as a human but a crow. His reincarnation as a crow signifies something like a past that has been forgotten. I think it's from Haibane Renmei. Now here's a question... how come Yukito exist, while there's already a reincarnation of Yukito? Like before Sora is a wish from the doll (anyway, this doll, if I'm not mistaken, contains magical powers that's been handed down from generations to generation) that Yukito made and is a part of Yukito, just like Michiru is a part of the Winged being. I think Yukito's soul is a part of Ryuuya's soul though. As a matter of fact, the wound mark that appeared at the back of Yukito tells it all. And if you're wondering who are the two kids at the end of the series. My guess is "She's a part of the winged being, and the boy is a part of Ryuuya". In the end, she has a thought what lies ahead the ocean. I think Kanna also has a thought similar to that. And the final words "a tragic days ahead for them, and a new beginning for us". I guess those kids are really a reincarnation of Kanna and Ryuuya, except they don't carry the painful past. As for the curse that you've been wondering about, in my opinion, it has been broken. And so the boy and the girl in the last scene would be the new beginning without bearing the painful past. So if we trace back from the true beginning (millions of years), we might end up in an opinion that every soul or memories is connected. Anyone here played Final Fantasy IX? It almost has the same concept about memories. ] Last edited by dgreater1 on Mon Jun 27, 2005 6:02 pm; edited 1 time in total |

I started watching it, but I thought some of the female characters' faces looked so deformed and ugly that I stopped. Maybe after this I should give it another try.
Oh good, there are already 2 Eva threads at the moment

although i like the air art, i know a lot of people that don't. chins are pretty big and the eyes are at the level of the mouth, yea...
the main story of air isn't really that hard to figure out. just think about it for a while, guess and think about how everything is related and it'll come soon enough. there are a lot of neat touches in terms of storywriting though. i believe there's some lullaby in japanese that relates to minagi's story. |

I finished Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien last night and decided to give Air another go. OK, I'm glad I did, even though Misuzu's face looks more like a fish's than a girl's
gao...
