So getting this DVD to complete your AIR DVD set is perfect. Like the rest of the DVDs, the art on the DVD box is utterly, sharp, clean and amazing. The DVD itself is wonderfully designed. A must get for all AIR fans!

Customer Reviews
This Summer special takes place during the same time frame as the "Summer" arc of the TV series (episodes 8 & 9). It fleshes out the three main characters of that arc--Kanna, Uraha and Ryuuya--and includes more scenes from the original game that were removed from the TV series because of time constraints. Not only is it just as beautifully animated as the show, but it's also moving and poignant. There are some extra comedic moments, but for the most part, it matches the thoughtful tone of the AIR series. If you've already watched the series in full, you can do what I did in order to view all of it again in chronological order--watch up to the first half of episode 8, watch the two episodes of the Summer special, then see the second half of episode 8 and continue to go through the remainder of the series in order.
The series overall is a great side story. The animation quality is excellent, similar to that of AIR TV. I also enjoyed the voice acting and the excellent music as well. However, in order to truly enjoy it, you must watch the TV series first, which explains some moments that were skipped in this side story. At the same time, in order to fully understand the Summer arc that was explained in the TV series, you need to watch this series. In other words, the TV series focused on the main plot, whereas the side story focused on the relationship with the characters. Overall, I felt it was a great addition to the AIR series. I only wished that it explained the whole story, but it does fill in the gaps for those wanting to know more about the Summer arc. It's an interesting part of the story that is important for those who enjoy the AIR series.
