Kanon 2006 1 – Return to the city of eternal winter


And I’m not just talking about Yuuichi either.

I’ve recently begun rewatching the masterpiece that is Kanon 2006. The first time through it was an incredible rollercoaster, mainly because I had no familiarity at all with the original source material.

This time around I plan to blog Kanon from the massive spoiler point-of-view, and I intend to search out all the foreshadowing in the show.

I’ve installed a thing that allows jumps in my posts now (thanks to Hackosphere!) so now I can can worry less about spoiling things to death. That said, I’m going to spoil Kanon 2006 to death, so make a run for it now, or hit the jump and continue…

Kanon 2006 in a nutshell

(if you’re wondering how I wrote so many entries in the span of 5 minutes, I had a lot prewritten while I was looking for a blog host)

Too lazy to do a full recap of Kanon 2006 at the moment, but it’s incredible awesome-ness compels me to write a bit about it. Thus, follows “Kanon in a Nutshell”!

Spoilers ensue, but that’s true for all my posts.

Nayuki: I’m the first girl in the show! Love me Yuuichi!

Yuuichi: No.

Ayu: Uguu~

Yuuichi: I wasn’t even talking to you.

Ayu: Uguu~ Yuuichi hates me~

Yuuichi: Damnit…compelled by…power of negation…to think the opposite…

Ayu: GG. Uguu~

Nayuki: I’ll fight back! Fighto dayo~

Shiori: Heheh, I’m the underclassman! Time to win over Yuuichi with my frailness, cuteness, and rejection by the rest of society!

Yuuichi: You can form a coherent sentence. Above intelligence requirements, go away.

Shiori: I don’t like people that say that.

Yuuichi: I don’t like you either.

Shiori: That was a catch phrase! I’m supposed to be cuter now-

Yuuichi: Too long for a catch phrase.

Shiori: I’m terminally ill!

Yuuichi: I’d hit that!

And then she dies.

Yuuichi: Damn, that always happens.

Nayuki: I’m being ignored again…activate cute sleepwalking powers…zzz…

Makoto: Hey! Someone forgot to mention my arc! I’m a tsundere; I have no idea what it means but it’s in Japanese so it must be good!

Yuuichi: Hmm, not bad actually…

Makoto: Marry me Yuuichi!

Yuuichi: OK, but only because you’re weakening and devolving back into a fox. Wait, what?

Makoto: *jingle* Auuuu~

Ayu: Uguu~ Someone’s a copy cat!

Makoto: Auuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu~

And then she dies.

Nayuki: I’m important! I’m on the track team!

Sayuri: Ahaha~ Someone forgot the arc between Makoto’s and Shiori’s!

Mai: …

Yuuichi: Quiet girl. Impressive. Not quite Nagato’s level, though.

Sayuri: Ahaha~ Just because you’re Kyon’s VA too…

Mai: …

Yuuichi: Is that all you’re going to say?

Mai: I didn’t say anything.

Yuuichi: Gotcha!

Mai: *stabs self*

Sayuri: Ahaha~ That happened again~ Time for necrophilia~!

Nayuki: ASAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! ASA DA YO~~~

Yuuichi: Not yet, Nayuki. I can’t care about you yet, because you’re my cousin.

Akiko: K Nayuki, here’s the plan; I get run over and Yuuichi will pay more *splat*

Nayuki: Strawberry jam! Oshi, depressed. *tear*

Yuuichi: Aww, Nayuki, Yuuichi’s here to make you feel better.

Nayuki: No you’re not. *emo*

Yuuichi: Yeah, you’re right. I’ll go have some revelations about Ayu now.

Ayu: I’m actually dead! Uguu~

Yuuichi: My stupid crush from 7 years ago is dead! Sad me in snow.

And then he dies.

Wait, no he doesn’t.

Real Makoto: I’m a plothole!

Ayu: I’ve come back to taunt you, Yuuichi! Uguu~ I like you, but there are so many more bishies in heaven.

Yuuichi: Eff you, Ayu.

Ayu: Uguu~

And then she dies again.

FIN!

Wait, no it isn’t.

Shiori: I’m actually alive!

Mai: I’ve been alive for the last 10 episodes.

Makoto: I’m still ‘dead’. Auuuu~

Ayu: I’ve actually just been comatose for the last 7 years! Uguu~ Pay my hospital, Yuuichi.

Yuuichi: How the hell do I revive you though, if you’ve been comatose for the last 7 years?

Ayu: Uguu~ Well, sex worked pretty well in Tsukihime…

Yuuichi: Mmkay.

(the previous scene did not actually happen)

Ayu: I’m alive again! Uguu! And I have a haircut like Misuzu near the end of AIR because short hair signifies something!

GOOD END!

Nayuki: Nyuuu…at least I got to kiss Yuuichi in the Toei version.

In conclusion:
1) Nayuki > Mai > others
2) Kanon 2006 = win
3) Too much sugar was used in the creation of this entry.
