Yuuichi can redeem himself by doing his best to support Nayuki and Akiko; deep down, he knows that they are more important than some girl he met 7 years ago and dated for a few days.
But I agree; if he ditches them to pursue Ayu, he really is a terrible person. The previews aren't promising, but I'll give KyoAni the benefit of the doubt until episode 22 actually comes out. I refuse to believe that they'll make such a horrendous mistake. |

I've read some pretty good opinions on the answers and especially your, Kinny. The comparison between cars (human world) and and demons (fantasy) was well fitting. My position will unlikely change but surely when I'll have to handle with this scene again, I'll have several more useful point of views to see through the shades of it.

6) Ayu's suppose to be the one who came up with the school idea. 9) Well, considering Nayuki was already in her own room...... 10) Recall from ep01, Ayu initially starts with left hand, but tries to use her right hand instead since it is the proper way. So considering that, its nothing wrong about Ayu getting used to extending her right hand to U1. |

The topic has already been beaten to death (no pun intended ), but my two cents goes like this:
The scene was indeed predictable. We had an idea that it would happen several seconds before it actually did. Therefore, in order to still give us the "OMG!" reaction, the crash was depicted as horribly as it would have happened. It's my opinion that slow-motion, freeze-frames, blackouts, and close-up shots are used to downplay the gravity of things like these rather than accentuate it. Therefore, I'm quite pleased that KyoAni let us see the accident the same way that poor fellow on the sidewalk did. |

I'm on the fence with the crash scene; it's better than the usual slo-mo/fade-out shtick, but it's also directly ripped off from the Youtube video.
Maybe a single-car crash would've been better. In any case, I'm more interested in the aftermath. Pleased with this episode, but not sure about where KyoAni will take it from here. |

No, it does not matter This topic has been beaten to death in almost every harem anime (yes, yes - i know Kanon is not a typical harem anime, so don't you all come at me with pitchforks and stuff ) They are cousins. Cousin marriage is just fine in Japan, as it is in most other places in the world. Personally, i don't see why it should pose a problem of any sort, and find it perfectly normal. Cheers.

It should be a problem because... ? This is something i have never understood, and i have yet see some one give a better answer than something along the lines of "just because" Fact: 26 states allow first cousin marriages; Most people can marry their cousin in the US. Fact: No European country prohibits marriage between first cousins. It is also legal throughout Canada and Mexico to marry your cousin. The USA is the only western country with cousin marriage restrictions. Fact: US prohibitions against cousin marriages predate modern genetics. Fact: Children of non-related couples have a 2-3% risk of birth defects, as opposed to first cousins having a 4-6% risk. http://www.cousincouples.com/ for more info ...i apologize for the offtopic

Heh heh. That is quite an opinion to make. Heh heh. After all, it's all up to the viewer's opinion. Though in my opinion, any car crash involving a pedestrian and a car is serious enough. No more needs to be said or shown....
EDIT: Informative as always, Skyfall. Heh heh. Personally, it's never bothered me. Why? Because the only reason why it is rebuffed is because of social conditioning. There hasn't really been anything substantiated that holds against it. And if there is no truly serious problem with it, I see no reason to rebuff such a thing because of squeamish tendancies. Heh heh. Time to get myself back on topic then. Heh heh.

The fact that Nayuki's and Yuiichi's families are kinda distant and are not large (few members) make them look like they are more distant if not even related. I have a hard time seeing them as a family, Yuiichi looks like teh big "friend's son" freeloader.

Excellent episode, unfortunately I had the ending spoiled for me by some imbacile on another forum but aside from that it was really enjoyable. The crash scene wasn't as shocking as I thought it'd be, to be truthful I was a lot more shocked when Makoto dropped Piro off of the bridge, however that may have more to do with the whole 'I did NOT see that coming' effect. I certainly hope that this isn't the end of Akiko, I watched the series again from Episode One the other day and I get the impression that she knows a lot more about what's going on than she lets on - I'd like to know what she knows and why.
I'm probably going to get lynched for this, but am I the only one who just can't get behind Nayuki and Yuichi as a couple? Despite living together throughout the entire series they don't seem to have very much in common and up until recently have pretty much lived and acted like siblings. None the less I can't wait for Episode Twenty-Two. Incidently, I wish they'd done a little more with Mishio like, maybe, had her join Yuichi's circle of friends or something. It seems kinda sad that her only role was to help Yuichi with the whole Makoto situation then just vanish from the face of the Earth. I'd like to have seen some sort of resolution there. |

Why all the hassle with the first cousins and all. Love sees no bar. If first cousins are in love..then just let them be..if u want controversy..satisfy urself with koi Kaze or Angelic Sanctuary..when it comes to kanon..pls take a moment of silence and pray for the good health of Akiko-san

Maritime, you're not alone. I also don't really see Yuuichi and Nayuki really working out, and it's NOT because they're cousins (having been born in China, it didn't strike me as being too weird). While it's undeniable that Nayuki has feelings for Yuuichi, I've seen very little indication that it could work the other way around. Romantic affection-wise, I'd probably rate Nayuki second to last out of all the girls, beating out only Makoto (whom I saw as having more of a father-daughter relationship, especially by the end). Yuuichi has treated her like a sibling throughout the entire show, I can't really see it changing drastically in just an episode or two.
This is definitely not because I dislike Nayuki, as she's one of my favorite characters. It's just that I can't see her end up with Yuuichi for some reason. Sure, go ahead and blame Yuuichi's bad taste all you want. Still, all I have to say is that she's too good for him. :P |

Only episode I have given a ten to - so far at least. Poor Akiko. Poor Nayuki. Poor Yuuichi... sheesh, poor everyone. I don't think there is a character on this show (except for the student council president who was mean to Mai) that I don't like. I honestly hope that everyone can have sort of happy ending, but it doesn't seem like that is going to happen...
As for the scene where Nayuki falls asleep on the floor I think it was put in to show Yuuichi's mindset: although he cares for her, he sees her more as a sister than anything else. Him leaving her on the floor really didn't bug me - she seems like she could sleep anywhere. What did bother me was (and no one has mentioned this) he left Piro in the room with her. Isn't that just asking for trouble? All in all, excellent episode, Kanon keeps impressing me. |
