I just finished watching a great amine, Kanon. It was sad, and episode 10 was the saddest, but i have some questions:
(continue reading only if you watched all 24 episodes)
Spoiler:
Let me get this straight so ayu granting miricals while she was in a coma, and she only awoke after yuichi gave her the red hairband. Makoto was really the fox he rescued, but the real Makoto is the same way, or did quazi-Makoto not die because aya granted her a mirical? and the rest lived because of the miricals granted by ayu, right?
Now there is somthing I have to say. when Ayu fell out of the tree, and the snow under her was turning red I was just shouting at my TV "She's going to go into shock, and have massive blood loss, stop trying to pinky swear!!!"

anyway am I wrong? I just want someone to confirm thi, and all of you should watch it, it is a great anime

Oh goodness. Saw Kanon back in January. You just made a thread about one of my favorite animes ever.

Since you're talking about 24 episodes, I assume you watched the Kyoto version, which is, in my opinion, the superior one.

Let me answer your question here in some spoiler tags.

Spoiler:
The "miracle" was that everyone came back and was normal again, basically; Ayu was responsible for this. This included Makoto being able to be human again, it seems.

Ayu came out of the coma once Yuichi realized he had been favoring the fantasy that Ayu created over reality, which wasn't what was good for her.

As for that particular scene, there wasn't much Yuichi could do; he was something like 8 years old. He didn't know what to do, he just wanted her to not die.


I loved Makoto's arc, by the way. I don't think I cried so hard for any other story ever; it was very touching.

Oh yeah, the fan translation of the Kanon visual novel (off which both anime adaptations are based; a visual novel is a story in the format of a computer game) is almost complete; it's in a partial beta (can play through Shiori's path). Go import the VN if you've got the money and download the patch here. Also, check out some of Key's other works, like Clannad (don't forget to watch After Story if you watch the anime adaptation, it's the second half of the visual novel) and Air (both titles have anime adaptations which are, like Kanon, both based off of visual novels).
VNs are superior to anime, don't @ me

thanks, I have it clear now. episode 10 was the first time I cried in a long time. anyway thanks again, i guess i will find a version of the game, maby. I was going to watch clanndad (or however you spell it), but I couldn't find them, anyway thanks again, but I will still yell at my screen when I watch it again.:)

It's an eroge game by the way, and with badly drawn CGs.
The focus isn't on the erotic scenes, and I disagree with your opinion on the CGs being poorly drawn. They're not as good as the drawing in the 2006 adaptation, sure, but they're not bad by any means.

I'll PM you with information about Clannad as soon as I get a chance.

I mean anatomy and the like; I actually prefer the original style of drawing, but the quality of where things go and how big they should be in relation to others is arguably dire in many CGs that I've seen.

Story-wise, I think they overused the "childhood friend" concept for the characters.
Also, the kids didn't really act like kids; normally, boys around ten years old would avoid/tease/bully girls rather than play with them. And there are other things that would be spoilers but I don't feel like using spoiler tags so blahhhhhhh

I liked it though.

well that's true, I didn't think this thread would be alive for more than a day though, anyway, wouldn't a 10 year old boy try to avoid them, not play with them?[AGELIMIT]


maby he was a player in training, lol[/AGELIMIT]
