I still stand by my statement that this is an amazing route that’s hampered down by a terrible ending. The good end, I mean. The bad end was pretty good in my opinion, even if it wasn’t perfect. It is most certainly a route that stands out on it’s own as something completely distinct from the rest of AIR, but at the same time an amazing piece of writing. The supernatural elements are conducted very elegantly, and do a great job of creating suspense and tension. It’s an interesting way of addressing the problem of people who are unable to face a cruel reality. I don’t think the route would’ve been the same if it had happened a decade earlier; the fact that they’ve had to deal with the aftermath of Michiru’s stillbirth for years is pretty significant.
Minagi as a character hasn’t left that much of an impression on me coming out of her route, but at the very least she seems like she would be fun to be around, in my opinion at least.
