Mai's arc was one of my favorites actually. A nice break from all the "kawaii uguu auu" that was going on. Also, she looked stunning in that dress.
Makoto's is higher up on my list. It was ;________;.
Ayu's was average. I hate it when the hero/ine blames themselves for stuff that couldn't be helped.
Shirori's was easily forgotten.
 
I don't know. Out of all the characters I think the one that developed the least (after their arc) was Mai.
I feel that Ayu's and Nayuki's arc's were rushed. (If you could even call Nayuki's story an arc .-.) I would have liked to cut an episode off Mai's or Shirori's arc and seen some more backstory with Nayuki and her mom.
I think the only arc that I can say that I safely liked was Makoto's.
I actually loved the story behind Ayu, but I feel they could have gone deeper, some more tradegy moments with Yuuichi would have been nice.
Shirori's arc... I'm going to be honest, I didn't really understand it. Perhaps, I wasn't paying attention, but I didn't get the ending.

One thing that I would have liked was if it ended on episode 23, and not 24. I found that the final episode did add closure and some bits were vital, but I think I would have been happier if the story didn't come to such a unrealistic ending. But that's just me.​
 
Ah, I have fond memories of Kanon (2006). The end of Makoto's arc was the first time I ;____; with an anime. It's funny since I thoroughly enjoyed (if you consider being emotionally shaken enjoyable) all the side heroine's arcs while I thought Ayu's arc was quite average. Still one of my favorite series, though.
 
Just watched the first episode of My Little Sister Can't Be This Cute.
It had a surprisingly good first episode, considering that the trailer wasn't that strong.
Although, I'm a bit doubtful on how the story can progress. =/

I'm with you there SC, it watched it last night and agree. I guess only time will tell.

Still no subs for Shinrei Tantei Yakumo. I know i'm being a little impatient but ijust had to be the anime i was looking forward too most didn't it.

You're comparing dated 2002 Toei animation's 13 episode work to 2006 KyoAni's 24 episode work. It should go without saying that the 2006 version is undoubtedly better.

Not necessarily. I was bored by the 2006 version, while I was actually able to breeze through Toei's series pretty darn fast. More episodes often leaves more time for more filler.

Indeedy, as expected of a manga that runs out of Dengeki, though the catch-up factor may be an issue since it runs monthly
 
The first episode of Star Driver: something has been released today, and subbed. Anybody watched that? I am hoping it's not like Heroman is any way.
 
I don't really like mecha too much but the plot sounds ok.


Yosuga no Sora looks like it has potential. The moving back to an old place after tragedy strikes in the family has been done a million times over, but something about it looks good. Pretty artwork as well.
 
Nyeh, Star Driver was more amusing that I thought it would be, especially with the whole masquerade thing going on. It's definitely going on my watch list for my mecha slot along with Super Robot Wars OG: The Inspector (for obvious reasons)
 
I'm not a mecha person either, really. And I just found out from MAL that I'm watching the second and third seasons of Minami-ke in reverse order :/ Meh, it is one of those slice of life shows where order doesn't really matter, so I don't think it's too big a deal.
 
Star Driver was too fast, I go lost!

I am STILL waiting for Psychic Detective Yakumo.

But when it comes to a series based of a VN with multiple routes, having those episodes helps to bring out more important detail that could've been missed without them. Also, your post has some tricky wording. You say you went through them fast, but you didn't specify whether you enjoyed it or not. Care to clarify? In the end, Kanon just might not have been your cup of tea.

Would you say that Kanon 2006 is better or comparable to Clannad?
Click to expand...

I wouldn't say better. But seeing as the were both made by Kyoto Ani/Key, I would definitely say they're easily comparable.
In Kanon and Clannad, the theme is always tragedy, followed by a miracle.
​
 
Kanon holds a better place in my book than CLANNAD S1. All the heroines in Kanon had much more touching stories than CLANNAD's Nagisa/Fuuko/Kotomi/Nagisa. CLANNAD as a whole definitely tops Kanon though.
 
Psychic Detective Yakumo episode one was pretty damn awesome. I was worried it wouldn't be as good as the manga but all worries have been exorcised. The episode was the first 3 chapters of the Akai Hitomi wa Shitteiru earlier manga with a few bits shuffled around and a little bit of character redesigning.

Potential anime of the season.

Then I'll watch Kanon (Both or 2006?) after I'm done with Clannad ~AS~.

I say just go with the 2006 version. There's nothing in the Toei version that the 2006 version doesn't, along with better art, animation and music.

Watched MM! earlier today since I got tired of waiting for my Arakawa 2 to be released. The first episode was vastly mediocre, but since I love masochist humor, I enjoyed it more than I would normally have.
