Gah, just got my internet back after almost a week because ISP was updating stuff, and I was in big anticipation of this episode. And now, I got it! WHEEE!
Unlike most people here, I actually like the girl's school uniform. A bit impractical since its cold there and the skirt is so short, but the mini-cloak grew unto me, though Nayuki's thigh-highs also played a smidge of a role as well. 'You'll be living her forever... Forever and Ever.' <--- Awww, Nayuki, is that a marriage proposal? ^_^ (Long skirts suit you as well!) Anyone else notice they also put the crunching SFX when people walk through snow? Nayuki punching Yuiichi was cute as well. And I miss the frog clock, if only because the frog clock has Nayuki's voice saying 'Oikete! Asa desu yo~!' or something to that effect IIRC. Best part of the episode? The scene in my avi (thanks Catgirls btw!). Ayu fans like her spinning again and again, but me being a Nayuki fan (like that wasn't apparent by now lol), I like her wiggling scene. ^^; And speaking of Ayu, wasn't her Uguu more pronounced in the 2k2? I gotta re-dl it to see...

Ayu's not that bad off stat wise. Her BMI is 17.6. Japanese cutoff for normal BMI is 18.5. She's underweight.
The Japanese have been steadily increasing in height (graph II-2-1, page 6). (Original document is here.) So, for 1999 values (when the game was originally released), she may not be that short. Also, you also need to know the parents' data to comment on her height. Personally, I think that Shiori represents the average female teen height circa 1999, but I can't find alot of data to support this. Sorry. For everbody heights... Nayuki: 164 cm (5' 6") Mai: 167 cm (5' 7") Shiori: 157 cm (5' 2") Makoto: 159 cm (5' 3") Ayu: 154 cm (5' 0")

Nayuki and Mai are tall! Their heights should be pretty close to that of the average male in their class - which is not what I'm seeing.
Lop off 3 inches from everyone's heights and it looks about right. Considering Remmy in the original To Heart was only 5' 8", there is NO WAY that these girls are that tall - unless everyone's been imported to Sweden. Last edited by DanielSong39; 2006-10-12 at 14:27. |

Mentioning Kanon and Love Hina in the same sentence is a crime. Love Hina was derivative of previous work with it's harem comedy but Kanon revolutionised the bishoujo game market with its story-telling. The meme "sad girl in snow" was born as a direct reference to Nayuki of Kanon, this is how influential Kanon's storytelling on otakus was.

Agree! And about all those heights i don't really mind them cause everybody is different form orion post really was alot of reading..... but was worth to know and understand about growth. Really was a good lecture. Well form now the next Kanon 2k6 is soon abt 2h16m to go >< can't wait P.S the first epi is really just setting the protagonist Yuuichi into the town so patience people more will come? mmm....... "Uguu" Quote form Yuuichi

First episode of the 2002 version I remember finding of very little interest, it was only because I'd heard that it became really good in the later episodes that I kept watching.
First episode of the 2006 version? I just smiled uncontrollably all the way through. KyoAni are just obscenely talented. I'm not one for slice-of-life type storytelling, I want things to actually happen, for stories to be about something. But even if there was going to be no plot whatsoever, I could still sit through 23 more episodes of that quite happily. Absolutely no doubt. But I know that things are going to happen. And I'm alive with anticipation. Living up to the hype? Yep. |

Either that, or the height of the average Japanese high school male is 5' 10". |

You mean the game makers who created the game in the first place exaggerated about the height of characters they are responsible for creating and therefore have ultimate say about their characteristics, since this is, after all, fictional? They didn't make them 6ft tall anyway. THEY HAVE BIG EYES for Christ's sake

Probably most of you are too young to remember the explosive impact Star Wars had when it was released in 1977. The movie industry was a boring morass of jaded introspection at the time. Star Wars kicked it through the goalpost (which makes what was done with it in the last ten years by its creator an especially heinous crime). Kanon's appearance in 2002 had comparable ripples within the anime industry. edit: hmmm, I apologize for my initial rating of Kanon2k6ep1 .... I was being too conservative after a single viewing. On subsequent viewing a lot of the KyoAni penchant for the little things came through. The VA Sugito's voice is just very rich here as well and <squeal> for Ayu.

Wow, looks like I'm really resurrecting this thread, Yeah I'm kinda going backwards as far as Maeda/Key adaptations. actualy I've already seen through the Makoto arc, on Anime Network, but they cut it short at that point when I watched it, but that was almost 3 years ago, so I started it all over again. This is a great first episode. Ayu always cracks me up.
