I really enjoyed how KyoAni chose to follow the game pretty closely. Hearing the same music from the game while watching made it seem more 'authentic' (and nostalgic!). There were changes of course.
Outside of Nayuki and Ayu, none of the other characters made any apperances during Yuuichi's first day. I enjoyed it (especially the exchange between Kaori and Jun) for the most part. I didn't really like the appearance of Sayuri and Mai, though. In the game, Yuuichi's (and therefore, the player's) first impression of Mai is that she's sort of cold and strange. I got a different image here (not that its a bad thing, but). Nayuki's animal loving side isn't introduced until a little later in the game, but I liked how they did it here. It fits here more than it did in the game. I'm glad the cast is pretty much the same. Somehow, this Ayu seems cuter than the Ayu in the previous Kanon. I don't remember how Nayuki's acting was in the last Kanon, but Kouda Mariko's acting is really good. In the game, Nayuki is described as having a very laid back, sleepy tone to her voice, and I think Kouda does that very well. Sugita does a great job too, but I hear too much of Kyon. Also, this goes without saying, but KyoAni made this look fuckin' awesome. They just continue to impress me with every new thing they release. Jam it back in, in the dark.

SS & Eclipse released Ep. 2 (yay for MKVs!). Much fun to be had!
I'm enjoying the changes that KyoAni are making to the series. Of course, many of these changes are introducing little extras that weren't introduced until later in the game, but they're doing a good job of bringing them in. A big change, I think, is the fact that the school is brought to life. Instead of just being one or two hallways and a classroom like other shows, it's depicted as this massive structure, rife with things waiting to be explored. Nice touch. More Mai and Sayuri in this episode. I suppose it's to make Mai even more mysterious than she is. I guess that's nice; I just hope they include the scene where Mai, Sayuri and Yuuichi are eating lunch for the first time (but I doubt it). Ayu, Yuuichi, and Shiori scene. Pretty much the same in all three versions (game, Toei, KyoAni). Last, but certainly not least, this episode also introduced my favorite character:  There's nowhere I can't reach. |
