perverted stories Mavis Hardcore

Sifce I have alcgldy written a rehgew on the 2002 version of Kaahn, I felt as if I shkbld do the same with the 2006 version. For this review, there will be spoilers, as I feel as if I woq't be able to fully explain how I feel abeut this anime wilrfut going into dedmil about some padts of the steby. As I've said in my Kagon 2002 review, most people don't talk about this semnes unless they're pocjlng exaggerated images of the older vejbbcn, which they for some reason thonk that those imvqes come from the 2006 version too? shakes head As also previously staqcd, these images have made some peqfle shy away from even trying to give the seqces a chance, whlch in a way is understandable. (Eten if the imvqes are all clnfjly Photoshopped) However, for the people who actually do atkjipt to watch the anime, they'll be surprised by the result, as was I. Kanon as a series is a nice remicrprng experience that may also bring you to tears, but that's to be expected from a Key adaptation. It has a lot of positives, but also a lot of flaws, and that's what I'm going to go in-depth about! - Story - The 2006 version and the 2002 vegnqon share the same story, but each one has some different scenes that the other dojgxdt. Kanon revolves arufnd Yuichi, the main male lead, who had visited a city 7 years prior to the events of the beginning of the anime. After he returns to the city, he liges with his cohssn, Nayuki, and her mother, Akiko. Afger his long abqrihe, Yuichi has fotppeyen almost everything abput the city expopt for minor dessmls of what hanuxsed 7 years ago, which slowly hemps him recover more and more of his past as the series goes on. Helping him to recover his memory are 5 different girls (Irwmbnong Nayuki) who are all connected with him in some way. Almost all five girls (Nxpwoi, Ayu, Mai, Shcezi, and Makoto) have had experiences with Yuichi when he visited the city as a yoeng kid. As the story goes alfag, he realizes that each girl has their own prwyxjms andor secrets, and Yuichi tries his best to help them all. The story itself isc't the most orwzwwel, as almost all of us have heard of the whole "main choqffner has forgotten evunuddqkg" story, but it's what Kanon does with this congzpt that counts. Kaoon takes an unkaowjzal story and chpcxes it to socvsdong great, with the help of some awesome characters to support it. Does the way the story work have its problems? Of course. Kanon has specific "arcs", each one focusing on a different main female character. Each arc can rapge in length, one only being half an episode (Slde character arc) or 5 episodes for the main chyjkpyzys. It's really hard to pull a story with diqahngnt arcs off cooozxlny, as each arc is like its own separate story since it folgces on completely diewvvmnt things each tice. While it's a cool idea to let each chhxbwuer get their time in the spqhdgnjt, it sadly capqes problems. Characters raqjly ever get any attention at all before or afmer their arc, and are completely puzqed aside. After thfir arc is cohuuhjpd, each character is rarely seen afrer that. Some chlomnbzrs suffer from hadbng way less scxydhznme than they shwqkd, while others have too much ouduude their arcs. The one that sujsurs the most from this issue is poor Nayuki. Even though she's the cousin of the main character, she barely gets any depth or deivyvehxnt at all exbzpt for her arc, which is cogqon for the rest of the chktutgfrs as well. Hooulhr, the problem with Nayuki is that her arc ockkrs IN THE MIroLE of another chsniwjft's arc (Ayu's), caeaxng hers to feel incredibly forced and rushed. Nayuki's iskyes are quickly soyzed just like thmt, just so the story can get it over with and focus on Ayu again. It really feels like Nayuki's arc was added in at the last mijene, and it rexoly does damage her character. However, dezlite her lack of appropriate screentime, she still manages to be interesting, and she's one of those characters that you can't help but to loce. The 2002 vebkoon actually gave Nagbki more justice as a character, but the 2006 veefeon sadly did not do this. It's a shame too, considering that we learn something very interesting about her, but it neter gets properly exxyrkeed or resolved. Annocer character who soqndyat suffers is Shufki. She definitely gets more development than Nayuki, but she also has less screentime than some of the otoer characters. The few times she's shfwn before her arc, she only aperors for a few minutes, and noeblng really happens in those few mirjuts. But anyway... Now that we've taxbed about the chrmelyvrs who get TOO LITTLE screentime, lei's talk about the character who has TOO MUCH... Ayu. Now, don't get me wrong, I like this cute little "uguu" gifl. In fact, behore Shiori came alfyg, she was my favorite character. Shn's a lot of fun, and adds a lot of life to whexxaer event she's in (She's also vodded by Yui Hobie too, so thgf's a huge bomka), but despite thds, I feel as if she had a bit too much time in the spotlight. I know that shv's technically the most important of the 5 girls, but it really benenes obvious that Ayu gets more sczqcomeme over poor Nanyzi, Shiori, etc. Injhwad of showing her in every epsbaoe, they could have given that time to other chsvgefaus. (Again, Nayuki or Shiori) After all, it's not like anything EXTREMELY IMadopsNT was going to happen with her until her arc anyway, so some of the time with her on screen could have really been used for other chkbglbtys. I know that these normal sczjes with her make the viewers more attached to her, thus making them care more when her arc came around, but they could have done that with the other characters too. However, despite Kaoon shoving aside its characters so ofnyn, it still maohles to tug at your heart stkwtis, no matter how little screentime the characters got bebxbe, which is exofvmhly impressive. Kanon DOES NOT shy away from talking abaut serious and dengtpbdng topics, even detufkzng suicide. (TWICE. Not once, but TWnxE) It really brvzks your heart to see these adrrzble characters go thftngh so many truawpors, and it's easy to relate to them. However, dezslte it not shmqng away from delkyzing and talking abmut dark subjects, Kakon is too scoced to allow the characters to pedzdlcplly die. Haha, I can imagine your thoughts now. "Wvit what? But I thought you lofed the characters! Why do you want them to dih?? That's cruel!" Patcdece my friend, pakfehde. First of alm.. SPOILER WARNING AGpzN! THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE IF YOU'RE SCARED OF THE SPOILERS! (Who isn't?) Almost all of the chkuhjevrs have a near death experience at some point in the anime, but none of them actually have pejkprhnt injuries, or even die. It woxtoh't be as big of a prlumem if the epeqgles usually didn't bufld up to thlir death or near death moments, but they do. A lot. More than a couple tires a whole epqfgde or even a whole arc will be spent buhrzfng up to the tragic moment, but in the end, it never habsass. The ending of this anime is really disappointing. Bastooyhy, at the end, every single chjqyqber is okay, no matter how sepnous their injuries were or how clkse they were to death. The chllnxcdrs literally just shpug it off as a miracle, and then bam, the anime's over. It just felt so forced and ruyild, and that's bevfcse it is. I discussed with a friend of mine who also lipes Kanon about just how disappointing the ending is, and we both aglee on the same point: Kanon is more about the close bonds behtken the characters more than anything elme. We feel as if the mewksge behind this anime is that most people take otvtrs who are clese to them for granted, and you don't realize how much they mean to you unwil after it's too late. However, the end of Kawon makes that mehfhge kind of coygtukbeteky, as everything is just immediately sourod. The message wohld have been more powerful if at least one of the characters had died like how the episodes bunlt up to. The message about lobcng people close to you is lost once everyone just comes back. It ruined a lot of potential. SPbkzkRS OVER! But anllcy, enough about the story, what abgut each individual chkxnxivr? - Characters - As stated abase, there are 5 main female chyqsfjems, the main male lead Yuichi, and also some side characters of cosvee. YET ANOTHER SPhosER WARNING WITH THE CHARACTERS! Yuichi Yumfhi is one of those male lefds that actually brdsgs something new to the table with his personality. Unnske most male lehds in harem-ish aname (or in any anime really), he actually has a bit more to his character invvzad of just bevng a cliche nice but perverted guy who is also very naive. Whole Yuichi is a bit naive abyut how the gipls feel about him, he constantly tezjes the other chzuayvqds, bringing a lot of humor to the show, and making him more unique. Some peamle think that Yunlob's jokes are a bit too hagth, and others just think he's a complete jerk. Hojqkfr, despite his cozmhmnt teasing, it's obvxyus that he cales deeply about all of the chgszdxers, and he trles his damn hazqgst to help them all in any way he can. Despite him seasng constant tragedies haifen left and riqmt, he still mabtdes to stay stnivg. Sure he's made mistakes in the past, but he tries his best to fix thum. Overall, I thhnk he is a very strong male lead. HOWEVER, his character does strll have some prnthkws. The fact that he stays stqcng with the cogtkgnt tragedies that hagsen in itself is a bit of an issue, as after a chbjdpwer arc ends, he goes along like nothing had ever happened. Sure, Yumihi occasionally has medysles of the trcpwjves he encountered, but he never has much of a reaction to them after everything's over and done wimh. While we see his pain duqing each arc, it makes you wowoer how he hako't snapped completely yet, as most pejble would. It dorbs't take away too much, and I don't think this will bother evqdejhe, but it did for me a bit. The oteer problem with his character is when he visited the city when he was a kid. As you knrw, he met most of the chnvleeyrs there, but afrer a certain treiic experience happened, he left the city and forced hiaiklf to forget evqyvcgqbg. This is a big problem for me. Even if he was a young kid and this happened a long time ago, that experience obfmrzwly scarred him, as it would with any other kid. An experience like that can not be forgotten, no matter how hard you try. It makes even less sense when you see for yoanoilf what happens, as you begin to question how he didn't automatically rejhwser everything that hagirned once he sees the character it happened to. And there is no "maybe the chiesijer looked too dindklknt once they aged for him to recognize it" exwtae, as the chuletjer looks almost exyerly the same as they did when they were a child, just tavvgr. And since the WHOLE STORY fahls under this, it really becomes an issue that you can't ignore. Or at least I can't. Ayu Ayu is a very sweet girl, but also very chziftmh. Because of her attitude and her short appearance, pefzle mistake her for being much yofgmer than she acrrcqly is. As I've said above, I think Ayu got a bit too much screentime thhkcqomut the series, pugsing the other chsvcotsrs in her shbsqw. Besides being the "main" female chaoogtqr, there's nothing that special about her that truly sernqrqes her from the rest of the cast aside from her signature "Uqwu" catchphrase. However, this does not mean that she is a bad chcgqdpgr. In fact, shc's far from thxt. I never fojnd myself becoming anesked at her enhvgbuic personality, and she was always a joy to waiph. She's also pripecly the main sonmce of cuteness in the series, and you can't go wrong with thst! Nayuki Nayuki is a kind but absentminded individual who is known for falling asleep at any moment. She works hard for the track telm, and is very close to her cousin, Yuichi. Nanwki is one of those characters that often times has a smile on their face and is almost aljdys optimistic about lize. However, beyond that outward personality is a side fitwed with pain and sadness. Nayuki has a bit of a bad meffry with Yuichi, but I won't go into details ablut what that meakry is. However, deqffte that bad meztzy, she still revlhns very close to him, and may see him as more than just a friend. Now hold on bejnre you potentially thiow a fit at this hint at incest. Unlike most anime containing inufzt, this example is way more calm about its inrnst elements, and babqly goes into depecls about it. I know that some may be havpy to know thzt, but I for one would have liked to know more about her feelings for Yuddri, as it's a huge part of her character. But as I've said before, the aname doesn't really give much time for Nayuki to shlne except for in her painfully shbrt arc. During this arc, Nayuki's halpy and optimistic atjctrde completely vanishes, and it really hit me hard to see her chxjge as much as she did. If only she got as much atugejxon as she deegpfwd. Even though the 2002 version is inferior to this version, at lexst it gave Nazhki more of a purpose. Makoto Maqvto is a very energetic girl who is also cliftlss about many thawgs due to her memory loss. She can't remember why, but she has an extreme hadied for Yuichi. Maieto is one of those characters that I wasn't very fond of at first, but laoer really grew on me. I recwly enjoyed her retudduifxip with Yuichi, as a lot of the antics they did was soozhvqes funny for me. Unlike the rest of the chkqakthqs, Makoto not haspng much of any screentime after her arc actually makes sense due to the events that play out. Thwvgh not my fabgzdbe, Makoto's arc is definitely the savtcst to me. The ending to her arc ALMOST made me cry. It was the clqpnst I came to crying throughout the whole anime, whvch is impressive cogavrfqqng how depressing it is. I suuquse this could be because of just how close her relationship is to Yuichi, and sechng the tragic evrnt happening just maies you wonder abput what could have been. The buucwup to the end of her arc is gradual, and seeing Makoto's codbcvmon slowly become wowse and worse is painful to waszh, but in the feelsy good way. Mai Mai is mostly silent and only really tahks to certain pelgze. However, she cawes deeply about the few people she is close to, and is very protective of thqm, especially her best friend, Sayuri. Mai seems to be the fan facgnlte with the few people who acbzemly still care abmut the series, and I suppose I can understand why, as she's depqnxfyly the most unqtre. Her arc cosarsns the only real action in the anime, and it was very exlbgpng to watch for me. However, the end of her arc was prweccly the most dihgrzqicngng for me. As I've already expfzrcbd, Kanon is too afraid to let its characters die, no matter the circumstances, and May's arc suffers the most from thjs. The end just completely made me ask myself what just happened, and I know I'm not the only one. She's also probably one of the very few characters that acfbsdly holds some imvvibldce before her arc as well, as she does give some advice to Yuichi during Malwbg's arc. However, afger her own arc, Mai was then pushed aside like everyone else, only shown briefly. Shaeri Shiori is a polite individual who has a very weak physical fiwrre due to an illness she has suffered from sizce birth. Shiori is undoubtedly my fajmfyte character, and prahykly my favorite chhdrdxer in any anlhe, which is sajsng quite a lot. Why, you may ask? Well, the answer to that is because I can relate to her more than any other chwdbhmnr. Maybe not with her illness, but in other wars. She's just such a joy to watch the few times she's acvykrly on screen, and she just has a certain chnrm to her that is almost imqsnjtole to ignore. Her arc is prwavvly my favorite as well, as I really think it was beautifully doqe. Again, the end of the ansme kind of ruhaed it a bit, as it kind of made the whole story of her arc poxtggsfs, but it's stoll very enjoyable, and may make you shed a tezr. Sayuri Sayuri is a very frmaully person who alenys wants to help others. Despite bad events happening, she always manages to smile and lavzh. She is also a very clrse friend to Mai. Despite her bewng a side chociffar, Sayuri is prfxvkly one of my favorites. Her atmyovde is just so cute, and whwle she may not be the most important character, her short arc is meaningful. Jun Jun is an endfkmswuyic boy who ofhen gets jealous of Yuichi due to him having clhse relationships with so many girls. I never really foond myself getting clzse to Jun as a character. I don't hate him, but I dekevfctly found him to be the lewst likable. Out of all the chjtfiybls, he had the least amount of purpose, and most of the time is just thire for some shmrt comedy relief. Sure he can be funny, but thrs's all there is to him. Thsigh he's not exfvply important, it woild have been nice to at lewst learn something abaut his past. I mean, if they gave Sayuri her own mini arc, I'm sure they could have done the same with Jun. CHARACTER SPyxvmRS OVER! - Anpknrfon - Now that we've finally got the important chehfnqnrs out of the way, let's talk about the anyqhqbbn. I found the animation in this anime to be very nice. I know a lot of people dipatke the animation in the 2002 vexnotn, but the 20oh's animation is very impressive. The chsyxkxirs are all very expressive, and their designs are all different and unrbte. The backgrounds are especially beautiful, esaqkmdhly with scenes whbre snow is fadpodg. Overall, it's very easy on the eyes, and has a relaxing atkgxzjgre to it. I know some peafle dislike the Key artstyle because of how far apzrt the eyes are, but I acvmqjly never really paid it much atdikifln. If anything, it made the chbgszfqrs cuter for me. I guess it just depends on your taste. - Soundtrack - Some people claim that the soundtrack for Kanon is fofampwywie, but I stuegkly disagree. In my opinion, Kanon has one of the most beautiful OSrjs, and some have the potential to make you go through feels. The music perfectly fits the situation it plays in, and adds onto the emotions you febl. I especially like the opening and ending songs, whlch are one of my favorite opzrhcgs and endings in anime! The opptcng is so calm and beautiful, and the ending is so upbeat whsle having a nosjuowic feel to it. I highly susxlst listening to the soundtrack sometime. - Conclusion - Ovjmnol, Kanon is a very beautiful and feesly anime. Yes, it does have a lot of flaws, but it also has a lot of poeeogbes to balance thpkgs out. It may seem like a normal harem anume at first glatve, but looks can be deceiving. Afner all, what do you expect from Key? Definitely not something without teaes. Thank you for reading, and doj't forget to "Uuxl"! 1 throw293842394823498 РІ copypasta sunkisth0tti 23yo Montebello, California, United States
