The final episode was heartbreaking and heartwarming…
The last scene where Misuzu reaches her goal and hugs Haruko was so emotional that I almost started crying. At the same time, it was heartwarming since Misuzu could stay strong because of her mother’s (Haruko) love. When she passes away in Haruko’s arm, it was very heartbreaking for Haruko and the audience to bear.
Nevertheless, what people say about Air being a snobbish Anime is simply not true in my opinion. It shown a beautiful life that was cut short by something unfortinate. Tragic and sad events is what makes people stronger and make us value our lives as a beautiful thing. This is what makes Air so emotionally powerful compared to the other stories.
Goodbye Misuzu… I will miss you forever! ;-;

Normally silent reader, but want a say about this.
IMO, half of that scene is Aozora. I’ve never cry watching anything (including but not limited to Air/Kanon/CLANNAD), but that was the closest thing (along with that field in CLANNAD AS), and I give almost all credit to the music.
Yea, that’s a shattering final scene. Air definitely has a power that more recent Key adaptations doesn’t have.
I do agree… the music (Aozora) used at the end brought a lot of emotional impact that made it so powerful. I have to say after watching this, it makes Angel Beats’ ending look rather… well weak.
