I don't think i would call Kanon a Harem as well. but maybe its becuase Kanon does not come from the comady area, sure there is comady in it but its more mature then other animes.
i guess i would say its up to each one own Interpretation of the anime. i would say it is a light comady tho however i say this is based off the first ep and the original anime, so who knows how the remake will turn out. |

Anyway, I already explained why I was watching Kanon. I like the atmosphere of the Key visual novel adaptations. And while more realism on the girls' part might be nice, I don't really mind six year old girls, so it's not a huge issue. I'm not really complaining about it either. I wish people would bother to read my posts before putting words in my mouth. Please don't pretend like I acted as though I hated the series or thought that all the girls MUST comform to my idea of realism in order for it to be good, because I never claimed such things. The only thing I said was that I wished, from my standpoint, that I could relate to the girls more. That would increase my enjoyment. However, I will most likely enjoy it regardless. |

Good esp from kyoani as usual. Very high brightness and contrast (not sure if it is the fansub filter or the original) but every scene I watch I got deja vu too much .. is this guy Kyon, OMG HE IS KYON, is this girl the one from ~AIR~... . The music is nice, calm, quiet and relaxing, and the instrument reminds/closely resemble "bird song" from AIR and AIR OST in general and Minase Akiko is strong competitor in the supermom club which can rival ama... ~AIR~ is 1000th summer and it has a nice summerbreeze in it, and Kanon is winter calm.... I wonder what season does clannad represent |

I saw a couple of episodes when it first came out, but I don't really remember anything about it. Oddly, I remember having a slightly better reaction to the girls, but I don't really know why. When I talk about Key adaptations, I'm mainly referring to the AIR adaptations. (Oh, and any familiarity with Key in general is from what I've read from various sources. I don't like visual novels, so I haven't played any of the originals.)

Perhaps musouka, if you could stop indirectly referring to them as six year old girls, it would be a good start. They are idealized representations of Japanese 15-16 year old girls living in Japan. This would be similar to watching "This is a Wonderful Life". No one acts like that now, but you don't see people saying, "Gee, I wished that they would act more realistic."
Even 6 year old females nowadays aren't all that nice. It all depends on your upbringing and environment. My niece is a terror and does not act like those girls. Truly doubtful that she would ever be as nice as those Kanon girls due to her upbringing and environment. No, tragic romances ovelap genders, but this title is squarely aimed at the Japanese male population. Catching those female viewers is an added benefit. That's why Yuuichi is nicer in this version imo and Ayu is front and center. Yeah Mgz, I wish that snow was a foreign word too sometimes. But you know, I love nice quiet snowy nights. That's why the calm of that snow scene was so good.

Cant express how happy i was to watch the first episode of the remake. The first that stood out for me was the animation, simply put imo it look freakin great I sware its Air 1000th summer but with a winter theme thats what i first thought at the opening the animation is so similar. Yuuichi seems a little diffrent but not in a bad way. All the charcter are super kawii which i love of course.
This is one of my favorite love animes since i think the writing makes a huge impact especially when we get to explore each girls past and how it relates to their present. Also, the mature comedic parts makes it even more enjoyable Looking forward to more i think i might have to go out and stock up on tissues to watch Kanon again LOL Did anyone else have serious nastalgia in the first scene with Yuiichi sitting in the snow?

Relax already. I know what ages they're supposed to be. I'm just making a point, and one I don't think is particularly offensive considering it's just based on the first episode and about two characters. (One of which I actually like a lot) I'm not saying it to insult them. I've already admitted there's a distinct possibility that my initial impression is wrong. Kanon has 20+ more episodes to show me the error of my ways. Last edited by musouka; 2006-10-07 at 21:49. |

musouka, I would be in unison with you had I been watching Kanon for the first time actually... however, I would stay away from that and push a little to orion's point of view on the subject matter. If KyoAni does a good job with putting everything together and gone beyone AIR, you should see a drama behind the reasonings of the way that these characters act. I can say that right now, Kyuichi feels more mature than Yuiichi...
As munto points out, the story did not squeeze everybody in by episode 1 (well they did but in the background). To the veteran of the story, the forshadowing keep things exciting while to newcomers the distraction of such a thing would be kept down. Kanon is not a harem story. It is written as a tragic emotional romance and started that whole heartbreaker boom that continues till this day. I don't think I will say anymore than that on the matter. Canon D-dur... we all pointed that out actually. That and several tidbits such as the AIR reference with Rich and Pulpy. Akiko really is incredable. I won't go into anymore than that. And as I've said before about the snow (I am rather feeling nostalgic of the lack of snow in Vancouver during the last few years really), I can see where Mgz is coming from as dealing with snow's far harder than rain. The OST is beautiful and now true to original, which is wonderful.

I'm totally relaxed.
Totally agree with panzerfan except the watching it at the first time part. When I watched the original Kanon, none of the girls seemed like they were acting like 6 year olds. Sure Ayu was alittle immature in the restraurant in the current Kanon but she rebounded at the end of the episode. Some of Ayu's behaviour is actually central to the story, so it will all balance out in the end. In fact, the parallels were illustrated at the end of the episode as Yuuichi started to remember more because of Ayu's behaviour that day. The rest females in ep. 1 were acting age appropriate imo. I like snow more than rain if I'm not driving in it. A really bad rainstorm can be dangerous too where I'm at. Rain can be depressing. Snow is calming imo. But, it smells better at the end of a rainstorm.

Watching this was a blast from the past.Just the first scene where Yuuichi waits for Nayuki on the bench made me feel nostalgic,as it is nearly the same as in the original anime.Here's a screen from the original followed by one from the 2006 version the original followed by the 2006 version

I've watched this series at least 3x through now, and I think there were some parts in the original I liked better, but this remake is definitely worth dling. I can't wait to see how they are gonna use the extra episodes to better develop the plot line.

In the newest one it actually looks more like the real place in Osaka. Not because of the quality but of the surroundings. Minus that tree isn't really there and the benches aren't like that. |

Darklightz thanks for posting that, it's also nice for newbies to Kanon to compare the two versions. The 2006 looks nicer imho, but here I could be partial I agree with orion that the people in the background is a plus.
I just wanted to add in on the argument you guys had on the girls in Kanon and people watching Kanon: Sure, the show is aimed at male viewers, but there definitely are also girls enjoying the show. As one of those seemingly few female viewers I understand what musouka was getting at with her comment about the girls in Kanon and that she was not amused (I wasn't too) to hear generalisations of girls as whores , BUT I guess A) in anime sometimes reality has to stand back and B) future episodes of Kanon sure will work out the girls' characters more, so let's wait and see and have fun meanwhile with Kanon! And enjoy Ayus ~uguu cuteness Last edited by katsumi; 2006-10-08 at 06:24. Reason: a 'n' too much |
