Movie Reviews of Air TV, Volume 1
Movie Review: Freaky alien potato?
Summary: 4 Stars
This DVD is full of lovely art work, great character designs, a promise of a supernatural story that spans the centuries. And a freaky alien dog that is named Potato and seems to understand everything said to him. Love the voice talents,such as Vic Mignogna, Monica Rial, Kira Vincent-Davis, and there are a ton of them in the credits I know and have even met in person. The feel is wonderful. A mixture of romantic hope and dark fantasy. There is an underlining feel of doom and death just around the corner. The first DVD is full of promise. But it lacks a touch, that spark, that makes a nice anime into a great one. Maybe the dog makes it too cute. I would suggest getting it used.
Summary of Air TV, Volume 1
Yukito is a traveling performer - a wanderer. He survives with only the clothes on his back a puppet and a story from his mother -- the story of The Girl in the Sky. He doesn't know who or where she is; only that he must find her.On the verge of starvation he is befriended by a young misfit named Misuzu whose eccentricities serve to hide a troubled home life. Misuzu offers Yukito a place to stay and in return he listens to her dreams -- dreams in which she lives in the sky. To make ends meet Yukito takes odd jobs from the local doctor where he meets Kano - another girl with an odd fascination with the sky.As his search moves forward Yukito finds that the possibilities are as numerous as the pitfalls. Will he find the girl in the sky? Does she even exist? The answers change with the breeze. The questions are up in the Air.System Requirements:RUNNING TIME: APPROX. 100 MINS Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: ANIMATION/ADULT SWIM Rating: TV-14 UPC: 702727172823 Manufacturer No: DART/001Yukito, the hero of the shojo (girl's) fantasy Air (2004), is an itinerant puppeteer, seeking The Girl in the Sky, the heroine of a story his mother told him. His quest takes him to a seaside town, where he meets four local misfits. Bouncy blonde Misuzo acts like a case of arrested development; Kano suffers from the aftereffects of a magical encounter; astronomy club president Tohno seems to conceal secrets, including why she tolerates obnoxious Michiru. Yukito moves in with Misuzo and her drunken mother, and starts doing odd jobs for Kano's older sister, the town doctor. Each of the young women seems linked to The Girl in the Sky, but Yukito can't figure out the hidden connections. Neither can the audience. Director Tatsuya Ishihara tries to blend mystery and comedy, but the mysterious elements lack the requisite sense of urgency, and the comic moments feel forced. (Rated TV 14 V: alcohol use, comic violence, risqu? humor) --Charles Solomon
