[Anime] Kanon 2006 (Kyoto Animation, 24 episodes)

ACERBANDIT FRAME THIS POST RIGHT NOW

Summonmaster, it is indeed the other way around, there are no guns and lasers in the Kanon game or anime Maybe in Kanon: Fumoffu, which KyoAni will commence production on after they're done with Haruhi season 5.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Done and done. Gonna go watch episode two now. =)

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Okay, I'm liking this so far for some strange reason despite the absence of any girls with guns or sleeping Nayuki beatdown action. Ayu sealed the deal really, since she's just the cutest character I've seen for a while, especially when she in the first episode when Yuuichi pointed out her wings and she tried to look at them ^_^. I wonder how he's going to juggle all these girls that are popping up?

Spoiler:

Juggling all those girls would become easier if and when they start dying en masse.

I was speaking idiomatically.

When?
Now that's (or would be, if you were joking) a meaty development, and I'm going to guess that they're just going to show it happening without any action whatsoever, and in the form of brief flashes. I just don't see this turning into anything like

Spoiler:

Higurashi

anytime soon with how sweet the girls are up to now.

Where's Episode 3 >=(? I need more girl juggling.

How ya doing, buddy?

In the Kanon games, at least certain storylines led to girls dying, and the first anime series referenced this.

In episode 2, for instance, you'll recall Shiori dropping and spilling her shopping bags after the snow fell on her. At least previously, one of the things that fell out was a boxcutter, which she was going to use to slit her wrists. She doesn't visibly snatch away from Ayu, so I don't know if that's still there in this series.

Just about all of the girls have some kind of death in the cards for them.

FELIPE NO

Too large eyes... Scary. They look like aliens. Anyhow is this one of these series that are cute but nothing happens just some big eyed girls crying for no apparent reason/bad reasos or overly cliqueshed resons.

If not I may take a glance at the series.

EDIT: To much WOW.

How ya doing, buddy?

The largest eye-to-face ratio is in Di Gi Charat, okay

And here you have Yuuichi's relatively normal face to look at.

How ya doing, buddy?

Hey it's better than the 2002 animation. At least their chins are de-Lenoized.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Kinda jaded with almost everything at the moment, this is series is pretty much the only thing that I just started watching in a while.

I am wondering about the story, currently on episode 9. The original game is a branched game with multiplied ending, correct? So does that mean the 2002 version put in story which makes up the core of the game, but also pick and choose specific path for different characters? Is the 2006 version following the same path?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

The 2002 version focuses on one character at a time, and when their arc is finished they move on to the next one while the rest just fade into the background. For 2006, the stories are much more interweaved, though they finished Makoto's arc early this time.

This is the best series of the season, by the way. The brilliant handling of Makoto's arc, plus the just-aired episode 12 with Mai/Yuuichi's ballroom dance scene, not to mention all the minute details KyoAni is famous for...

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Did anyone see the latest episode?

Spoiler:

They actually had the balls to animated the actual car accident, kudos for Kyoto for NOT doing the cliche Cut to Black and sound effects move. Poor Akiko...

I can't wait for the following episodes.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Yeah, it looked somewhat painful. Bad things happen to good people, eh?

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

The final episode is coming in a few days, I wonder how they're gonna adapt the endings.

FELIPE NO

I was able to catch up to episode 23 last week.

Spoiler:

Not to pleased seeing Akiko get hit by that car. Of all people it had to be her. At least it took less than a episode or 2 for Nayuki to get over it.

In any case,Kyoto's version of Kanon was executed pretty well (2 thumbs up for Mai's story)to the very end. That being said, the raw for 24 is out. Did anyone take the hit and watch the episode without the sub?

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Where did you manage to get the raw from chato?

(btw, you might want to add spoiler inserts to some of your text)

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Done .

The raw for the final episode - http://bt.saiyaman.info/download.php...AW.avi.torrent

It'll probably take you to the homepage but it's stilll there. Didn't know Saiyman was all into Kanon til recently ;p.

EDIT:

Spoiler:

Little Offtopic but Kyoto will not leave us yet.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXLfl-5uER8 - Clannad Anyone?

I hope someone can make a thread of this .bigblah ?

edit 2 :

The last episode came out earlier by SS-Eclipse. Downloading now.

Just finished watching it. Nice ending. Alot better than the other kanon anime. Now it's time for some Clannad!.

Most amazing jew boots

Great ending that ties all the girl's endings together. Very nice.

BRING ON CLANNAD!!

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Not entirely sure but I think 'Lucky ☆ Star' is KyoAni's next series they're releasing, which I think will commence sometime in April? I think it was the 8th, according to Wikipedia.

Clannad is not due until sometime in October (again, according to Wikipedia).

A side note that Hirano Aya will be voicing the female protagonist in Lucky ☆ Star.

Back to Kanon: a well done ending, although

Spoiler:

I was a bit confused as to whether the start was a dream or something when Akiko was suddenly home after pretty much being proper fucked from the auto accident

Spoiler:

There is a slight time lapse I think, between this and last episode, since the drama between Nayuki and Yuuichi has been resolved and nature of Ayu has (at least partially) revealed. Further more, I am speculating that Mei's power might had came back sooner then expected. Of course, there is that dream sequence dreaming "normal life" in the previous episode, I wonder if they done that in purpose to keep viewers on their toes.

On another note, its an interesting detail that they considered in that last scene with the body type the real Ayu have. (having been bedridden for 7 years probably won't allow for much of a growth. Didn't realize what type of time lapse it was, I was like, holy smoke, they had a daughter? But then realize it was the actual ayu. :3

The scene was almost too cute. :3

I was speaking idiomatically.

That was one of the best finalizing happy endings that I've seen and hoped for in an anime in a long time. Wonderful wonderful show. Definitely gonna rate this show a 10 on my anidb list. =)

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Thoroughly enjoyed this show, haven't watched the original version of Kanon yet (have already downloaded it ready for viewing) but I can that the ending came as quite the happy ending.

Kyoto Animation has made its way into my grade A category of anime to watch.

FELIPE NO

No no, Nayuki, not time to sleep just yet!

ADV's Acquisition of 2nd Kanon Series Confirmed at AWA - Anime News Network

Quote:

nimeonDVD is reporting that ADV Films has confirmed its acquisition of the second Kanon slice-of-life television series with an 8:00 p.m. EDT showing at the Anime Weekend Atlanta convention Friday. ADV had previously posted a trailer for this series in August, only to take it offline once news of its existence spread. ADV Films also chose the cast for its Air anime releases with the possibility of a Kanon license in mind. Air is another Key franchise whose television series was animated by Kyoto Animation with cameos by Kanon characters.

Always nice to have proper confirmation. If it weren't for Bandai getting The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya and Funimation getting FMP:TSR instead, I'd say it looks like ADV is setting themselves up to be KyoAni's distributor of choice.

Lucky Star next summer?

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

What? I went to the ADV panel and they didn't say anything about this.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
