I gave this a ten - basically, because I think it's unrealistic to expect any 24-episode series to literally be perfect. You have to, in other words, grade on something of a curve. And by those standards, Kanon gets a 10. It featured several of the most memorable characters in recent memory, wove together a moving story in generally coherent yet obscure ways, and was one of the most beautifully animated series in years (as you would expect). For me, that makes a ten.
