So I finished Kanon. I don't like to begin by emphasising what little I can say, partly because doing so seems a little too introspective for my taste and partly because it could be a trick: practiced orators sometimes claim to be rough-spoken so that the audience will drop their guard (I've noticed David Cameron occasionally does this). In this case, however, there's a fact backing me up: I can't objectively assess Kanon, as a whole. Or at least, I can't say much more than 'It's better than Shuffle!', because I have a nasty case of genre-blindness.

The typical joke leveled at Kanon and other similar shows is that the characters’ appeal can be summarized by calling them “damaged goods.” I find myself watching Baccano! (and the extra episodes which have started coming out recently) waiting for the moments which show just how off-kilter or mentally deranged some of the characters are. And [...]

As most male Otaku should know, there isn’t really anything in this world that can beat a good moe-bishoujo game adaption like Kanon. However, I don’t go around declaring this to every single person I meet because humans have an in-built dimensional superiority complex. You can read more in the about page, but to make [...]
