This, for me, is the big show of the season. The original anime adaptation of Kanon is what got me into the ren’ai genre. Then I saw Air and was swept away by it. It left me with an odd thought, though. I obviously preferred the Air anime to the Kanon anime, but part of me preferred Kanon in terms of concept. Air’s anime happened to be better executed. It made me wonder how awesome an adaptation of Kanon done by Kyoto Animation would be. Well, ladies and gentlemen, the awesomeness has come. Two episodes have aired and I’m rather impressed. I’ve always liked the way that anime based on Key games can fit so much content into their time slots, and that definitely hasn’t been lost here.
Now, to the casual observer, it may not seem like anything terribly outstanding, but just hang in there until the end. Kanon has some majorly heavy shit to deliver. And if you’re a Haruhi fan bitching about it being cut short because of Kanon, my advice: Get off the fuckin’ cross and watch some damn Kanon. Uguu~~.
