Mirrinus, if I'm not mistaken, the first girl in Kanon was Nayuki in every spectrum. xD
I guess it's first girl emphasized ... yeah ... emphasized.
Cyber_Chaotic, since Tsundere is sort of an audience given description, if you feel that's the characterisation then that's what it would be to you. Kyou's air time was so small it's possible to get that idea, and it's not inaccurate either. Of course, albeit playing the game, I have no idea how Kyoani will use her in the future (in terms of imminent, well, the impression should likely be consistent, and her air time in next week I anticipate is much greater as the first episode hardly used her at all). Now I don't know if you meant future as in near next episodes, or come drama time.
Oh well, I suppose the chronology won't matter. Since Kyoani is using this strange (or normal) imminent effect + flashback/reiteration (not really since it didn't happen prior, but rather input something that just happened after it happened), then it can ignore the time premises as it can ... go backwards. ... nevermind.
And yes I've seen clannad at least twice. Once was the raw, one was one fansub. The other ones I skimmed, but I wanted to eventually see them all to see how each approached the same lines, since they'll indefinitely be different. Now this is only to improve my own perception that if I see a similar line, that perhaps I may not have thought of in an approach to decide how to interpret a line, so it's not intended comparison.
... now that since 16:9 is expected to come three (er two) weeks later, I'll hold off watching it all the way from beginning to end of episode and save it for when 16:9 occurs, then it'll be a little more efficient.
In terms of repetition of select few scenes, I don't know how many times I've done that. Of course the sequences I play are all shorter (and no surprised it's the faster paced ones).
Well, no surprise Kyoani would use the characters that are more prone to attention get first (probably the fast pace with "action"). Then again the ones that haven't aired aren't any worse. (Though I still find the ordering really odd).
Now based on previews or what not, the meetings with each of the girls appear independent. It might be an interesting feature, or simply not enough is shown into the preview to actually define it.
So despite playing the game, the overall idea is definitely there, but how it will be portrayed and executed (like when and how. In terms of who and what, it's self explanatory ... and where too. Why, I don't know.) is quite a wonder.
Well in terms of scene components, can't complain about accuracy. It's there all right. Anything missing is likely a truncation of something minour, or aired later. I tend to forget a lot happens in the game, and that despite "only" 24 episodes supposedly, there's a lot that can and likely will occur. (On the other hand the dramatic parts would be slower, but how slow can it get? Maybe introductions would run faster than Kanon did and jump into a route by like episode 5 or 6, oh that will be fast indeed.)
I suppose it's bad to keep looking at Clannad and comparing to previous works Kyoani did on KEY games. On the other hand it wouldn't surprise me if the equation used to execute and air it are highly similar to the other two, but since the two are different in contrast, it could go either way or be some kind of mix, and if that resolution (wrong word) runs right, then Clannad would be just fine (or maybe it'll be fine anyways because the animation and accuracy will already be there. A distaste will likely derive from a mismatch of preference.).
Now the foreshadowing execution was good. I tend to forget that.
