Air Is Killing Me

Dammit, Air, why? Why do you...? Why would you...? GRAH.

Why do you hurt me so much?

So I'm really enjoying Kyoto Animation's new Kanon series. A lot. And because it's turning out to be so good, I thought it might be a nice idea to go back and watch their first attempt at adapting a Key game: their 2004 series based on Key's Air.

And I'm glad I did. It's really good.

It's also approximately the saddest thing ever.

Seriously, what the heck, Key? WHY?

AAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHH.

Okay... Okay.

I think I've regained my composure.

I haven't quite finished the story yet. Maybe, maybe, it won't end up being as SOUL-CRUSHINGLY DEPRESSING as I think it will.

Gah! It's like Grave of the Fireflies up in here.

Man, people, seriously. Kanon better not end up being this sad too, or I'm gonna be spending several weeks afterward curled up on the floor in a nice, comforting fetal position.

(And then all the Kanon fans laughed and laughed at Rob's impending misfortune...)
