[Akito Kinomoto]

I was kind of hoping someone would touch up upon this, but just a little nitpick:
How were Higurashi and Umineko inspired by the likes of Kanon and Air? Or, in other words, where's the link between a murder mystery and moelodrama?

And as far as H-scenes go, don't those normally come with the option of not being seen? Oh, and be sure to drop it in somewhere that Clannad was released with an all-ages rating. I know that blew -my- mind when I found out.
