That was just a incredible episode. Kyo is doing a great job of handling this remake that it leaves me speechless time and again. Mai's rage scene may have been alittle over the top with the superhuman feats, but it was done in such a incredibly beautiful way that it left my jaw hanging open hah.
Wonderful VA jobs...Wonderful animation...Incredible drama. Just another great addition to such a lovely series. Now if only if itd get a proper release over here id pay out of the ear to show my support for kyo's work on this one.

A wonderfully emotional episode. I pretty much share much of the thoughts of the board. KyoAni is tops in handling it the way they do.
I also noticed the shot of Sayuri's wrist after her telilng of her past this ep. I also remembered from Ep. 13 that she was rubbing her left wrist in the flashback looking outside a school window to when she first met Mai. I think from remembering that I inferred about a possible suicide attempt when they flashed the shot in Ep. 14. |

Well-executed comedic beginning. Outstanding sparring animation. Excellent emotional buildup. An entire AIR sequence in 5 minutes. A discourse of many layers on the title of the anime. A small comedic sequence to loosen the tension for the next sequence. Heart-pounding drama. For the first time, a truly, thoroughly human Mai. And a final showdown that sets the scene and whets the audience's appetite for the next episode.
Final conclusion? A straight 10. 'Nuff said. Some lighter thoughts: 1) The looks on Yuuichi's and Nayuki's face, coupled with the "impending doom" BGM, makes me think of something. Spoiler for not really, just to keep my ridiculous thoughts tidy...:
2) With that kind of speed, Mai can easily match the Rurouni Kenshin Himura blow for blow. She even uses his phrase of, "You're too slow." O_O 3) 07:59. You guys want a Misuzu cameo? There's one right there for you. 4) 09:36-09:37. Yuuichi's laugh is creepy. Sugita-san certainly should take on a villain role next. >_< 5) 09:52, we see KyoAni's patented moe headknuckle again!!! Let's see, Nayuki did it, Sayuri did it....who else did it that I've missed? 6) The demi-AIR sequence of Sayuri's story is told SO well. I almost couldn't recognise Sayuri's voice from her narration. Props to Kawakami-san! 7) I was almost hoping for Yuuichi, when he got home, to say to Ayu, "What, you're still alive?" |

Ep 14
Instant 10. Everything I wanted to say is already said. You can say whatever about me, but I really liked the story of Sayuri and Kazuya to the point of actually crying. My poor Kazuya...

Wow. Simply wow. That was superb, Sayuri's flashback, Mai's breakdown, and the self-referential café scene with the fantastic description of Kanon D-dur by Sayuri... and the resolution. A ten from me, again for Kanon. This show is dragging them out of me, it appears. There were only two things I disliked within the episode - the detail on Mai & Sayuri's hair when they were eating, and Yuuichi's final crack before the credits; I didn't think the episode needed the line about a beef bowl. Ah well.
Next week's Kanon anticipation level is, indeed, rather high Oh, and incidentally... Quote:

Ep14 was emotionally-draining. My ears hurt from holding back all the tears. The following entry will contain spoiler tags.

I really think that Mai's subplot can go an additional two episodes, wouldn't you agree Skane? However, the ending to 14 doesn't seem to suggest it. They probably won't devote any more episodes to her after 15, and instead just go back to it every now and then like they did with Makoto in episode 12.
I say that it could go two episodes more because for Makoto, we had one episode to reflect about what happened seven years prior and then an episode after that to face the consequences. We've barely delved into Mai at all; just action and her thought process in the present day. I hope they don't rush the subplot through. |

Anyway, another fantastic episode. A straight ten from me as well. I had tears welling in my eyes too during sayuri's flashback, but somehow hold it back. Man I do hope the rest of the series dont get any sadder.

Misuzu and Sayuri connection is pretty easy to make, if you compare Misuzu's "nihaha" with Sayuri's "ahaha" the resemblance is uncanny.
Now the real question is, how many people could actually tell the connection between Mai and Michiru? |

When I reviewed the raw print to get a feel for the show before working the script, watching Mai this time around just made my jaw drop. And punch a hole in the concrete.
Spoiler for comparison between Kanon Ought-Two and Kanon Ought-Six:

The phone booth somehow reawaken memories of Higurashi in me... just somewhat. It's not QUALITY animation this time around though... and the jam really seem to spell doom afterall. I have almost forgotten about how adorable Sayuri looks with that anteater on her back. The events following in the episode however completely overtakes the image in my mind.
