The previous version of Kanon had it's ending focued on Ayu with some modifications to the other girls stroyline a little here and a little there.

The current version, no idea, but generally I think it will be focused to Ayu's ending again, much to my dismay. I rather have Nayuki or Mai's ending

The pace is slower because it is slated for a 26 episodes anime series.

You can't rush the phase like the original that is only slated for 13 episodes.

Besides the game is MUCH longer IMHO, are you speeding through the game? Skipping all the texts? It took me a week to finish playing 3 routes >_<, and that is almost non stop gameplay O_o

The masterpiece of the game (well IMHO) was the storyline and the way it is foretold from the beginning to the end. THe ending might be weak at some routes, but the journey to the end was very enjoyable indeed, especially if you take your times and read/understand the texts and conversation happening.

I took a bit longer to finish the game bcoz during that time (yeah years and years ago) my Japanese were not that good, so it took me longer trying to make sense of Yuuchi's dialog, as it is not voiced (i got full capability of understanding JPN, dont ask me to speak though, no practise )

The other thing that got me hooked to the game was the great soundtrack and voice acting. I am virtually hooked to Nayuki's and Mai's voice acting

Kawaii~~~~ LOL.

Hmm can finish the game in 10 hours? Maybe I will try that one day, dig out back my PC or PS2 disc (wonder where I put it), and try to replay Nayuki's route again (for the same of Nayuki's kawaii voice )

Kanon was set in a town full of mysterious event, the town itself had some magical power like the town in Da Capo . Hence... err... well better not talk to much, risk spoiling the anime too much later for those who havent watch

Oh yeah IGNORE me, I am a Kanon fanboy >_<

Is it that bad to be a fanboy? LOL. Hmm... Dont have problem displaying my fanboyism sometimes. Guess it is a bad thing?

I remember last 4 years ago (or somewhat around there), we would held gathering to discuss about the greatness of Kanon with a few of my friends. LOL. It does sound like a otaku's gathering LOL, the sort they did in Genshiken hahahahaha...

Well that was the old days, nowadays not much discussion is done on real life, as friends has moved on with their life, getting commitments, works, getting hooked with something else, etc. >_<

If it going to gun for an Ayu's ending like what I suspect it will, then no the story will not collapse >_<. I.e., there is a happy ending for Yuuchi and Ayu.

Though.... errr I guess I advoid spoilers about what happen to Makoto, Nayuki, and the rest.

Ep 04 is out a while back, no one ranted about it?

NO ONE?

LOL.

Auuuuu~~~

Anyways yes more game scenes are thrown into the anime, stuff that were not on the previous anime version.

Mai ! Mai ! Mai~.... Oh dang cant wait for ep 05 >_<

Well the animation were decent when the first original series (Toei) were out, yes of course if you compare to today's standart, that will definetly look fugly

Heh lotsa Yuuchi x Nayuki fans here... Good, ngam with me... though I am also a supporter of Yuuchi x Mai faction.

Well you're talking about most, but some games the sub character has no route of their own, and Akiko is considered a sub-chara in Kanon game.

It is 26 episodes allocated, if they speed up the story development too fast they're going to run out of things to show

First version Kanon (adult)? The first version of the anime is not adult... unless you're talking about the PC game, then yes it is an Eroge.

LOL a harem ending with 5P / 6P LOL

HAHAHAHAHAHA....

I would imagine that game to be a hit Because usually you see 3P or 4P (yes I seen a 4P O_o) as endings >_<

Eroge galore

-----------------------------

Ep 05 is fast approaching... hurray more Mai action

BIG SPOILER FOR AYU

Err yeah, for those who never watch the original series/play the original game and wondering why Ayu has no full memory, dont worry she human, but....



Whee long time not in this forum. Suprisingly for this 26 ep anime, they progressed onto Makoto's arc pretty fast.

So I guess Makoto story will be concluded in these 2 or 3 eps (maybe...), and they'll move on to the others girls, Mai, Shiori, Nayuki, and then finally Ayu? (or something like that)


Piropiropiropiropiropiropiropiropiropiropiropiropiropiropiropiro~ (Isnt Nayuki cute >_<, she'll cry and sneeze though )


EDIT (didnt read the previous page)

Yeah I know you rabi_en_rose (elfenrir, or whatever your nick is now LOL). I realised it when you are suprisingly similar and i check your email address, it matches LOL. HAHAHA... the old days, yes i am still a Kanon junkie (LOL since PSOne days >_<)

I am no professinal watcher, just love to rant sometimes, esp. when it comes to Kanon, hahahahahaha... (i am abit weaker on Air, Kanon tops the fav. list on my mind >_<)

Yes I did take a break from this section of the forum, sigh, life has been busy >_<

I will be back. Awaiting next Friday for the next ep, TWO THUMBS, heck all hand up to Eclipse for their great and speedy subs )

--------------------
Anime karaoke? Ooooo... I dont think I kept any of those audio clips anymore...



-------------------------------------------------------------------
EDIT 2 (ahahahaha... ok i am getting maniacly idiotic now)

I forgot to rant properly about Kanon. How could I FORGET?

LOL where was I... hmm cant remember what ep I last ranted over here... so I gues I start from... well all >_<

Kuuu~~, as much as I am in anti-Ayu faction (yeah I am >_<), dang KyoAni translated her cuteness and scenes way too good in these past episodes >_<, the beakfast scenes dai ichi, was great, Yuuichi is really oblivious in that scene.

Breakfast scene dai ni was superb I was enjoying every moment of that (Yuuchi is real naughty in KyoAni version, Toei version isnt even close to that >_<)

Cinema scene, Uguuu~ attack. "Hyu Do ro ro ro do", Uguu~ Yuuichi-kun no baka baka baka baka baka baka baka~

OK enough oh Ayu O_o. Back to my fav, Nayuki . Neko scenes, sleeping scenes, sleeping in class, sleeping while having breakfast, sleeping while walking... huuuu~ saikou! I will forever worship KyoAni from now onwards. And her impersonation of Ayu, "Uguu~ Itai yo~" >_< (Haruji fanboyism for Nayuki has lvled up O_o)

Mai, second fav, was given good focus on several eps. as well. Loved the scene where Yuuichi grabs all the food just to force her speak. "Tako-san wiener". "Kirai ja nai".

I will ignore Shiori scenes and Makoto scenes for now >_< (Damn Ayu is supposed to be on 4th ranking in my Kanon ranking, kinda cimbed up to 3rd place already )

Yeah it was 24 ep, was messing up with another anime on my mind . Post edited to fix the problem. Hmm then I guess they wont be any 1 hour special unless they gunning for end of Feb ending... hmm I must go to the official website and see anything is mentioned there or not.

My Japanese reading pretty much is bad though >_<. (Blames my Kanji knowledge). Yeah it is bad . Give me a Japanese newspaper and I cant make up anything from it. Thankfully websites tend to use easier kanji and you can sort of know what the setence is about even if you cant read a few characters in the sentence (ahaahahah... gaming experience >_<)

I Japanese listening is pretty good though, can understand almost everything spoken except for those historical dramas >_< (dang I dont even know what they are trying to say sometimes)

Dont ask me to converse, no practise = DUNNO LOL. My biggest regret now.

Yeah if you got the time and resources, go for classes. It helps alot. Better than my half past six knowledge right now LOL.

EDIT (Back to topic)
------------------------
Damn Kanon DVD 1 is 6300 yen. +courrier and all... OMG >_<. Damn the temptation of getting it is huge though... Probably will set me around RM250-RM280 to import the first DVD if i decide to... oooh dang....

Rants.... rantings.... I give up.

Well Makoto is one of my least fav. character in Kanon (well Shiori is at the bottom of the chart LOL).

So I guess... finally Makoto arc is over, NOW I THINK NEXT EP WILL BE THE BEGINNING OF MAI'S!

HOOOORAY!!!

They are going through with all the characters, heck they did that on the Toei's version which is only 13 episodes long LOL

My internet was down for the past 12 hours... damn made me miss Kanon. Another hour for the latest ep to complete...

To ho ho ho ~

I would love to rant about Kanon now, but I am in office so it made my ranting power go down >_<

Maybe I do it back at home later. But anyways yes it is a Mai's arc

Mai Arc BANZAI!

Mai Arc BANZAI!

Mai Arc BANZAI!

>_<

Yeah I'll rant later (busy atm, LOL, cant resist the urge to rant though)

This post has been edited by Haruji Sora: Jan 6 2007, 10:38 AM

Guess Mai's arc is officially over now (awwwwwww~)

The worse arc (for me) will come to take place >_< [dont' ask me why i hate Shiori, I really dont know >_<]

Where is Nayuki's arc? >_<

Show doesnt do justice to Nayuki (yet)

Grrrrrr.......
