Well, Yuichi 2k2 is less believable to me as a guy that girls would fall for. To me, he was an irritating lazy whiner. Kyon seemed tired with change and only wanted normalcy. Again, hard to believe that anyone would hook up with him too. Yuichi 2k6 is sarcastic, slightly melodramatic (given the situaltion it's understandable) but vulnerable. He doesn't want to get hurt again but that cold exterior is just melting and those memories are returning. You can see it in his facial expressions in ep. 2. To me, it's very easy to distinguish Yuichi and Kyon if you can get around that voice. Plus, their backgrounds are so dissimilar that no one would really say that these 2 are similar. You really wouldn't want to wish Yuichi's past on anyone. Getting use to a new seiyuu can be hard I agree, but you really need to do this to get the full experience of Kanon again imo. Back to Mai: Can't wait to see Mai's bunny ears. They were so awesome in those fighting game clips.

And yes... the Yuuichi being portrayed here is MUCH closer to the Yuuichi of the Original Source Material (the game). It is much more accurate to say Kyon resembles Yuuichi in some ways than vice versa especially since the character of Yuuichi was defined over five years ago. The characters in Suzumiya intentionally took classic anime archetypes and subverted them for the purposes of the story --- all, including Kyon, *appear* to be stock characters until you started to glimpse their underlying motivations.

I don't know. I think people would like to have a mate like Kyon... well maybe not so much as a romantic interest. Although honestly, we're dwelling too much into the 'Kyuichi' question. There are some parallels to be made, but it is not at the center of the snowstorm.
Mai... her story alongside Sayuri's this time should get some justice done to it. I hate to say this but Toei rushed through her story too quickly. I want to want and see how it goes...

I actually like Sugita as Yuuchi. There's several reasons why: in the
2002 version he appeared rather full of himself but he didn't really have a distinctive personality to match the ego. He seemed a bit overly proud. In 2006, you've got a guy back in a town he's not sure he wants to be in, he keeps encountering these girls who seems to have their finger on the pulse of everything, he gets lost in school, can't deal with weird alarm clocks and the food he's eating and he's not afraid to pronounce that he's not super pleased about things. But he's at least being somewhat pleasant. But he does it in a clever way. Anyway. This episode. Goodness - it's like watching a great story but from a different perspective. Cool to see Shiori again, we'll see what happens next. Hope she sticks around. I also like the subtle change they've made in Ayu and it will be need to see how she evolves coming up.

Well, i think everything has been said, i LOVE this serie, even if i haven't played the game or saw the Toei's version! I loved Air and i got totally hooked to Kanon in the first episode!
I loved the second episode too and i'm totally looking forward for episode 03! |

Oh gods... I laughed so much during this episode it hurt. The comedy timing is great even when I know exactly what is about to happen.
Sugito is just supreme as Yuuichi's voice.... the other male VAs had better step up their skillset or Sugito will be grabbing everything, the kitchen sink, and even roles he's a terrible choice for.

You know, I don't usually go for this kind of thing, but I'm officially addicted to Kanon; Uguu-tan in particular ("I'm left-handed!"). The orange-haired girl (forgot her name ) is fun, too.
The comedy is your typical anime stuff for the most part, but without the obnoxious overreactions. If something's truly funny, you don't have to point at it and scream for us to laugh. Going back over the first episode several times, I'm seeing a lot of foreshadowing that I didn't even realize was foreshadowing at first. Genius how they pulled that off. And yes: Sugito > All |

well... I love Kanon because its Kanon... AIR came much later.
A good deal of the humor was in the original implementations as well, though there's been some enhancement. AIR built on the sort of thing that made Kanon popular, but I'm not complaining at the little touches KyoAni is carefullly applying. Its kind of neat watching KyoAni build on their past experience though .... I'm curious to see what kind of twisted ride leads them to Lucky Star next season <lol>.

That said, I never watched AIR, Shuffle!, Strawberry Panic, or anything else that I coud "relate" to Kanon. I made an exception for Kanon because I'd heard that it was the one that spawned all the imitations and defined the genre. And KyoAni's behind it. I just like it for what it is. And yeah, Yuuichi playing matador and Ayu slamming into the tree was great. I lol'd much. If it manages to keep this up, FPB will be pleased. |

If you're into Kanon looking for slapstick comedy, I suggest you stop watching it. |

^agreed.
I hope it's not a spoiler to say that Kanon is the second highest on my list of saddest anime of all time (just below Grave of the Fireflies and just above Full Moon wo Sagashite). So if you're hoping for a comedy you may be in for a surprise. I won't say you'll be disappointed though because this may go on my list as my #1 favorite anime of all time. The 2002 Kanon is VERY high on my favorites list. |
