Otakuism

Who would of thought that under Sayuri’s cheerful facade there was a weak little girl with a tragic backstory. Sayuri had to raise her brother all by herself, and in her naturally childish way of thinking, she had to be strict on him. This of course lead to a ton of angst when her brother died, what with the not playing with him at all and stuff. Where exactly was Sayuri’s dad during all of this? Why was she the one who had to act as a mother to her brother? Aren’t there maids for this? Did he really think a little girl could handle it? The whole thing has tragedy written all over it. I really understand Sayuri now and her reasoning for being friends with Mai. Why did the toei version think it necessary to cut out this part of Mai’s story, when it seems to be the climax of the whole thing? I’m so glad Kyoani decided to remake the series now.

Now, the final moments of the episode were just awesome. Not awesome for Sayuri, Mai, and Yuuichi, but emotionally it was great. Mai’s face as she collapsed, her rampage as she slashed everything to pieces, Yuuichi grabbing her crying face and promising they’ll end this tonight. It was so dramatic and epic. Highpoint of Kanon so far I think. Next week I guess will see the conclusion of Mai’s arc if Yuuichi’s says their gonna end everything. So we’ll have the revelation of Yuuichi as Mai’s friend and more Mai angst, which is always pretty dramatic. Some sidenotes: Akiko’s jamuu is truly evil. Seeing her spread so much on the toast makes ME cringe. Also, kyoani has to do an action anime after Lucky Stars, because I need more fights like Mai’s. So fast, so fluid, it’s crazyily awesome. Please don’t do eroge #261 the anime ( unless it’s unlimited blade works FSN anime, then your ok ).

Evil has allies. And Akiko suddenly grew breasts.

So moe I’m going to die!

Sayuri is channeling the power of Mikuru.

Love confessions at gunpoint are always fun.
