Past Anime Reiview: Kanon (2006)

School, School, School.


Its been awhile Yuichi


Its been awhile since I have finished school. The parties, the events, sports, and friends. School life was fun but watching it unravel is even better. After deciding which anime, I decided to start with Kanon but I'll be going into other school life anime such as Clannad, My-Hime, Demon King Diamao, HOTD, and much more.



Kaori and Kitagawa, meet my cousin Yuichi
Its been 7 years since Yuichi and Nayuki have seen each other. Now he's staying over at her place with her mother, Akiko Minase. Yuichi used to live here when he was young but doesn’t remember a thing, but starts to remember stuff little by little as he goes to school. That’s when we meet up with Kaori,  Kitagawa, and their classmates.




Look out!!!! CRASH.....
Uguu!!! why didnt you move :(
In the shopping district while waiting for Nayuki, Yuichi gets run over by a girl carrying taiyaki in her hands. A mysterious girl by the name of Ayu Tsukimiya, with wings on her back. Looking for something special that she lost. (The phrase that she always says, Uguu!!! is CUTE!)

Also in the shopping district, we run into Makoto Sawatari, who tries to attack Yuichi because she hates him for what he did. Anyways she starts freeloading at their place until her memories come back because she had lost them. ("Auu!!!" is the sound she makes when she doesn't know what to pick...cute right?)


Are you okay?
Yuichi!!! You're mine...
There's also a girl named Shiori, whom is mysterious in many different ways. When Ayu runs with Yuichi towards the tayaki stand, they crash into her. Yuichi goes to the courtyard to observe what shes doing. Shiori, always waits in the courtyard for someone. She had kept her illness a secret and only told Yuichi.

Who me...Im just hunting demons!!!
At school we also meet more people. At night we run into Mai, a mysterious girl wielding a katana that Yuichi crossed paths with when retrieving something he left. During the day, he meets her classmate Sayuri. Mai goes to school at night to fight against demons, to protect the school along with Yuichi.





Talk to her Yuichi....

Now back to Makoto. Yuichi started to get curious, and asks around, only to get negative results.
Yuichi then had a flashback of him talking to a fox about a girl named Makoto when he was younger.  
 
Auu.......
 
How dare you attack my friend...
Ahhh!!!
What will happen to Makoto?

Mai please stop...

Mai, causes trouble with the student council for breaking a mirror and destroying the dance party. However, Yuichi, Sayori, and Kitagawa stand beside her. Mai and Yuichi find out that he was being targeted and they wonder why.





SAYOURI!!!!!!!
On the night of Mai's birthday, she was at school attacking demons, when something terrible happened. Sayori gets attacked by the demon and gets sent to the hospital. 
Mai and Yuichi take out the demons until one was left, but to tell you the truth the last demon was actually someone.





Let's hangout okay!!!!
Shiori, who always comes to the courtyard, meets Yuichi and he finds out about Kaori's little sister, the only problem that she was not acceptive of Shiori because the sickness that Shiori posseses might cause Shiori to die on her birthday.

During Shiori's birthday, Yuichi tries and succeeds to invite Kaori. Yuichi and Kitagawa lighten the mood with dance (Lol best scene ever to cheer you up). At the end of the party, Kaori finally acknowledges her sister which gives everyone a shock because they didn’t know they were sisters.

Was I able to smile Yuichi?
Please look at me sis :(
Yuichi takes Shiori around to have a fun time until midnight reaches. 
Will Shori survive?


Living with Yuichi and Nayuki and still looking for the thing they lost, Ayu and Yuichi try to search for it. During that time, Yuichi and Ayu experience a lot of stuff while they go out everyday.
But, when they went out one day to her school up on the hill with Yuichi, she starts to panic because there was no longer a school there, but a stump. Soon, Ayu starts to worry about her special treasure and she suddenly disappears. Will she ever come back?

During all this Nayuki felt alone as Yuichi was busy helping other people. When they went out, Nayuki asks him to buy a red marble. On the way to school, Nayuki sees a crushed snow bunny, and Yuichi remembers what he did to her when he was small.

Yuichi... Im sorry but I have to go :(

In the meantime, Nayuki asks her mother to buy strawberry cake for her, but her mother gets into a traffic accident. Nayuki starts to lock herself in the room. Will Akiko, Nayukis mother survive? And will Nayuki come out again?

What lies in the future now!!!!
To find out what might happen to these girls, watch the anime. It's pretty good if you're into mystery, or drama. I would compare this anime to Clannad because Kanon and Clannad have similar feelings and in my perceptive, theres a lot of emotions running in the two.

Please just leave me alone....
The theme, I would believe, is trying to find yourself and remember your past, because without your past, what's your future? So go out into the world, take place events and try to remember what you did in the past, and possibly what you have forgotten, if you can no longer remember, start a new one and fulfill them with your own ways of life and living.

Personally this anime was very nice because it stands out a lot. It reminded me a lot about Clannad actually. School, the festivals, drama, and other crazy stuff. This was one of my top 10 favorites and I will recommend it to you if you are into the school life genre. Furthermore, I think that Yuichi actually helped me out a lot in my own life because helping others and putting others first other than yourself, is something we both share. But for me, Tomoya in Clannad is definitely my character.


This anime contains 24 episodes and I would recommend you to watch the ending because it's an awesome ending, but you need to know the plot and characters well if you want to find out what might happen to them.
