Well, I thought she played an important role in Mai's case. Almost made me think that she was a main character.

Sorrow-K · 2006-11-05, 06:26

No, she's a side character. The main five girls are Ayu, Nayuki, Shiori, Makoto and Mai.

She was the only sub heroine with an ending in the game

I would have guessed as much, judging from from the OP, at least.

But I'm pretty reassured to know that she's at least an important sub-character enough to get an ending in the game.

Ah... Didn't know that... No wonder she seemed so important.

My previous message was sarcastic btw

Skane · 2006-11-05, 09:02

I would be pleased as punch if they decide to animate Sayuri's side-story as well.

Cheers.

orion · 2006-11-05, 10:15

Maybe as an OVA. I want to see the end of this on TV.

Deathkillz · 2006-11-05, 10:43

if the writers are smart the should do a little spin off with Sayuri

*milk**milk* but if its funny im happy with it

Hmm, i could see it at least getting a lil' bit of attention.. but there's no way they'll go all out with her. ;_;

toxic_trance · 2006-11-05, 11:00

Ahaha.... Sayuri is too cute...her smile has got to be one of the cutest. I wish my sempais were 1/100th as cute as her. Neway, Sayuri inspite being a sub-heroine...she is a very important part of the Mai Arc.

Does neone know...why those three snow balls were shown. Is it of ne importance. I have seen the 2002 version...so feel free to spoil me if its a spoiler

Darklightz · 2006-11-05, 11:14

Hahaha,I love Yuuichi's sense of humor in this episode.

It was also interesting to see Little Ayu waiting in the same train station where Nayuki picked up Yuuichi.

And it's cool that Mai already sensed something about Makoto.I want to see more Makoto!

So her game path wasn't enough for an OVA? Oh well. I wouldn't mind if they milk the franchise with an OVA or 2 as long as Kyo-Ani does it. I hope this comes to R1.

Since KyoAni is going for an inter-weave approach, I think it is possible that they will include Sayuri's story and link it together with Mai's to form a coherent story, thus developing the background/characters of the two girls together.

Of course, I will be more than happy if they are going to do a Mahou Shoujo Sayuri spin off.....

Same here, I am also wondering if there is any signifiance in those three snow balls.

New/Old · 2006-11-05, 13:14

Mahou Shoujo Sayurin!?

Now that would be an interesting to see animated. Enjoyed the games very much, although I understood only a portion of it.

Sinestra · 2006-11-05, 13:44

what a great episode I love Mai everything she does cracks me up. My favorite scene had to be when Yuiuchi discovred he could get her to talk by getting her to ask for food and what made funnier is he made a game out of it

I'm not saying that, its just that OVA's for one character route doesn't happen.

Taking apart the fact that this is Kyoani, we're already getting a good amount of fun from Sayuri. This could easily been what you're saying could be true - there's plenty more to come from Mai, and i easily believe Sayuri can be done at the same time.. just not to the full extent.

Ah well, she's my fav' character from Kanon, so i'll be happy with anything i can get of this.

Cloud Strife · 2006-11-05, 17:45

It has been one month since the first episode aired and it is still perfect. I am quite impressed with how comedic this series can be, even the smallest of gestures can make me laugh throughout the day. The foreshadowing, as everyone has said, is incredibly subtle yet skillfully implemented. The bathroom scene with Makoto, the breakfast scene with Ayu, the talk with Shiori, the lunch with Sayuri and Mai, and then 'demon hunting' with Mai and Makoto at night; who wouldn't want to live out a day like this? Just watching it was fun, but to live like that...Yuuichi is lucky!

I especially enjoyed the Moe-ments (Get it?) of Maiii (As Sayuri would say!) when she interacts with Yuuichi. When he asks her about the demon hunting, she remains silent and strokes her hair in response. Very sultry!

I laughed so hard when Yuuichi intruded on Makoto's bath, I cried! And also when Yuuichi steals Makoto's meat buns, my abs started to hurt from his "Yes, go ahead" voice acting! Too funny!

I believe Sayuri should have been treated as a main character in this Kanon. She is just so Kawaii and has her own "Ahaha" expression, like "Auu" and "Uguu." I guess Mai's expression could be "...", but what about Shiori? Anyway, Sayuri qualifies as my bride because she shares the same voice actress as Misuzu from AIR.

Regarding the pacing of the story, if Makoto's arc is to be fulfilled first, I think it would be best as opposed to having it happen too close to Ayu's, so desensitization doesn't occur. I don't want to spoil anything, so I'm trying to be very ambiguious.

If there was an OVA to be made for Kanon 2006, I think it would be interesting to have it entirely based on the events that occured 'seven years ago' according to Yuuichi. It should cover all the interactions of Yuuichi with all the girls when they were young and chibi.

New/Old · 2006-11-05, 19:04

Heh heh. Shiori's would be "I don't like people who say things like that." I think she did say it in Episode 3 if my hazy memory serves me.

Noppapana · 2006-11-05, 22:16

okay perhaps i have interpreted it wrong but
isnt Yuuichi flirting with the seniors: Sayuri and Mai during the lunch ?
