[Kanon]

2 episodes have been subbed (thank you, whoever you are). I enjoyed them a lot. The ending of the first episode totally hooked me, and the second episode was even better than I would have expected, with a more serious tone than the first while maintaining its fabulousness.

Spoiler for episode 1 and 2:

I thought it was odd that Makoto just so happened to try to scam a foreign con artist but I chalked it up to typical anime writing, which often uses coincidences to get the plot started. I really didn't see the twist that Laurent had planned it all coming. He is definitely a great con artist.

Makoto's background was good. Tragic but not overly dramatic. He's really unlucky though. Liked his reason for becoming a criminal ("if everyone thinks I'm one, I might as well be one"), and how he turned the tables on Laurent at the end.

Abby is a really cool female lead, and seems to have issues of her own. Can't wait to find out more about her.

Laurent is the overly competent guy who fancies himself as a Robin Hood of sorts, except I'm pretty sure he keeps the money from the scumbags he cons. Or maybe not, we'll see.

I can't wait to see what's going to happen in the next episode! No way Laurent is going to let Makoto win their bet.
