Not to be confused with [[Music/AirBand the French electronica duo]], [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_%28comics%29 the graphic novel]], the stuff you're breathing, or the [[Film/Air2023 2023 Nike movie]].

This is the story of ''AIR'', an HGame by Creator/KeyVisualArts with a [[SelfCensoredRelease clean version]]; the original VisualNovel was released in 2000, and the clean version followed in 2001. It has two anime adaptations: a movie produced by Creator/ToeiAnimation and directed by Creator/OsamuDezaki, and a TV series produced by Creator/KyotoAnimation, both of which were released in 2005. (It was actually the first of three Key games that were animated separately by these two studios, although the Toei version of ''VisualNovel/{{Kanon}}'' came out first in 2002.) It is seen as and marketed as a companion to ''Kanon''; both deal with a young man with little to go on who arrives in a new town, begins living with a girl upon arrival, and meets various other girls while sorting out the supernatural mystery of the town. The themes of fate and miracles also run deeply through both series. ''AIR'''s ending has gained far more notoriety than the visual novel has relevance.

* SpiritualSuccessor: The 2010 Creator/JetLi film ''Film/OceanHeaven'' (his first non-Martial Arts Film) is thematically almost identical to ''Air''; a bittersweet tale with symbolic allusions to the ocean and sky, about the love between a parent and a child in their final summer together. However, the roles are reversed and GenderFlipped; it is the single-father aquarium technician (played by Jet Li) who is diagnosed with cancer, and must find a way to part in peace with his mentally-retarded son.
