Today I am going to talk about the anime series known as Air. It is a short, 13 episode series that has quite a few hooks to the story. Most of the characters seem to have a longing to get high into the clouds. Misuzu espically does. I am 62% through with the series (8/13 episodes). It starts out featuring a guy who is poor and down on his luck, Kunisaki Yukito. He performs puppet shows for yen. He is met up with this odd young woman known as Kamio Misuzu. She has a mental illness; she cries and can't make any new friends. Her illness isn't specifically mentioned at the time of my viewing, but it might later on down the road. She loves to dream about flying high into the sky.

There is another young girl by the name of Kano Kirishima. She has a cute and intelligent dog named "Potato". Instead of barking, he just yelps "Piko! Piko!" The series, 8 episodes into it, is best summarized by the quote in the beginning, "It was the beginning of a summer that was as short as a star's twinkle...and as long as an eternity..." Kano tends to sleepwalk and get into all sorts of trouble. She tends to go to the local shrine and mess with a sacred cursed feather. She tries to "fly" to be with her mother whom died many years ago. I am only a tad of the way through the series, but it looks promising. I need to get my paws on the Air movie as well. I can't find a copy on the internet, so I might have to buy one. It seems that all of the females in this series have a mental illness in some form or another. Here are three screenshots of the series.





I am still waiting for Galefore to get online so I can get my account back. I would steal it, but his wife changed the password on it . The problem is that he never gets on. He's busy with work and the naval life though, so I can't put too much pressure on to him. Speaking of military friends. My friend, Kyle, talked to me this morning. He is stationed in Japan. To that I say, "LUCKY!" I am going swimming all day tomorrow, so I won't have much to write about. Sunday after Church, I plan on finishing Air. If I don't, I will come very close to it. Bye!
