Anime Wind-A Breath of Heart

[JJ]

I'm not sure this is a popular anime or not, but since there's no thread, I shall start one!

*steals a summary from AnimeNfo.com*

Okano Makoto transferred to the school in his home town. There, he spent normal but happy school days with his sister, Hinata, a jokey classmate, Tachibana Tsutomu, Shikouin Kasumi, Tsutomuâ's childhood friend, and other friends.

One day, after school, Makoto heard someone playing the harmonica. That melody made him feel something old, and it brought him to the roof of the school buildings. There, he met a girl in the dusk.

It was Narukaze Minamo who turned her face to him with a smile. She was a childhood friend, but they had lived separately for years.
Hiding their true thoughts, Makoto and his friends spend their lives in school. Their stories in a mysterious town are about to begin.

Yup, the intresting part about this anime, it's short. There's 13 episodes in total each totalling around 12 minutes.

I personally enjoy this one for the story, it's done backflips in the later episodes.

It starts out really light hearted, but it gets darker around episode 9.

That appeals to me, because in a way, it reminds me of AIR.

Yeah, so does anyone else watch it, or am I totally alone here?

I actually really enjoyed parts of this series--so much so that it kind of confused me, haha. I guess I felt like it showed a lot more potential than it really deserved to.

(Perhaps Wind reminds you of AIR because they're both based on bishoujo games? Although I found Wind to be a lot more disjointed and confusing. I would like to see it again with the four or so DVD-only episodes inserted wherever they were supposed to go in the first place. I don't know if it would make the story flow better, but I really did find Wind to be surprisingly appealing, and I wouldn't mind giving it a second chance.)

I think there's also a Wind OVA, but I haven't seen it.
