History Trivia / AIR

* RelationshipVoiceActor: The seiyuu who play Haruko (Creator/AyaHisakawa), Hijiri (Creator/YumiTouma) and Uraha (Creator/KikukoInoue) are Skuld, Urd and Belldandy in ''Manga/AhMyGoddess''.

!!The band:

* CreatorBacklash: The band isn't too fond of ''Pocket Symphony'', as they felt that working on 5:55 for Creator/CharlotteGainsbourg took up most of their creative effort.
* NamesTheSame: The Mike Mills the song "Mike Mills" is named after isn't Music/{{REM}}'s bass player, but a music video director and friend of the band.
** Two American musical groups had used the name Air previously: A jazz-rock quartet who [[OneBookAuthor only released one album]], and a considerably longer-lived free jazz group. This is why ''Moon Safari'' and its accompanying singles place the words "French Band" in smaller writing next to the logo.

* NamesTheSame: The Mike Mills the song "Mike Mills" is named after isn't Music/{{REM}}'s bass player, but a music video director and friend of the band.

* BeamMeUpScotty: Misuzu never said "Goal" upon death.

* CowboyBebopAtHisComputer: DVD advertisements describe ''Kanon'' as "a prequel to ''AIR'', featuring the same characters". No, and no, despite the ContinuityCameo above. Speaking of the ads, [[LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya Hurai Suzumiya]], anyone?

!The visual novel:

* NamesTheSame: The Mike Mills the song "Mike Mills" is named after isn't Music/{{REM}}'s bass player, but a music video director and friend of the band.

** Keisuke, Misuzu's father, is another example, being played by Creator/KenjiroTsuda in the TV anime but by Creator/ShinichiroMiki in other incarnations.

* Self Reference: In the dream festival, where Misuzu gets a chick, Haruko is wearing a T-shirt with the [[AC:Air]] logo.

** The game and movie has Creator/HikaruMidorikawa as Yukito's seiyuu, while the series uses Creator/DaisukeOno.

** And then there's Website/AnimeNewsNetwork's official review, which messes up the character names.

* AccidentallyAccurate: The scene in episode 2 where Haruko mentions Misuzu thinking that dinosaurs came from chicken eggs. Misuzu's right, you know. Feathers, air sacs, four-chambered hearts, gizzards, gastroliths, toothed beaks in some birds, pubis bone moved backward into the bird-hipped configuration among some theropods, insulating wings--there's no two-ways about it: Birds are living dinosaurs.

* HeyItsThatVoice:
** Misuzu is played by Creator/MonicaRial, who uses a similar-sounding, but more solemn, voice for [[Anime/KiddyGrade Lumiere]], and very much avoids typecasting as SuperSoldier Jo in ''Anime/BurstAngel'' and vampire-like {{ninja}} Okoi in ''Manga/{{Basilisk}}''. She's been in ''lots'' of stuff.
** The other leads in the dub have been in their fair share of anime -- Creator/VicMignogna as Yukito, and Creator/LuciChristian as Haruko.
** A case of this in the original made it into an ActorAllusion in ''Anime/LuckyStar'' (Creator/DaisukeOno and Hiromi Konno, who played the roles of Yukito and Potato, respectively). There's also one in ''LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya'' (with Daisuke Ono, again).
** Heck, Yukito is [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Heero Yuy]] in the game version!

** In the Japanese version Haruko is [[Creator/AyaHisakawa Skuld]], Hijiri is played by [[Creator/YumiTouma Urd]] and Uraha is played by [[Creator/KikukoInoue Belldandy]].
