Arite a number of thoughts on this episode:

yay, at least KyoAni this time makes Nayuki's inevitable loss much more bearable. Toei made it so horrible last time, to have her still love Yuuichi AND witness Ayu and Yuuichi's first kiss. At least this time they make her completely aware of who Yuuichi's feelings belong to, so it's not as painful to watch. I love this episode because it finally showed Yuuichi giving some attention to Nayuki. Kudos, that definitely did not happen the first time.

and...Ayu. I used to like her, second behind Nayuki. This time around, she doesn't seem as moe compared to the pumped up Mai and Shiori. Oh well, tiers: Nayuki > Shiori > Mai > Sayuri > Ayu > Mishio > Makoto. was hoping for a kyoto animation miracle Nayuki ending but lol what can you expect? I think it's time to change my signature lol

I'm enjoying each and every episode of Kanon. Was nice to see that they placed Nayuki
and Yuuichi in the same Cafe again, the same one that was shown multiple times before.
I'm really digging the way they make use of the name: repetition of schemes & places,
the kanon song, ...

Anyway, I was rooting for Ayu from the first second I saw her :D. But it's 1.47am so don't
expect any profound analyzing from me right now. All I can say now is that I'm still amazed
how beautifully Kyoto Animation animated the show. I can't think of any other anime that
offers such jaw-dropping images. That's how I see it anyway. Can't tell how it would look
if KyoAni did an action anime with guns'n'stuff xD.

Banzai~!

It's 5:23 pm so don't expect any profound analyzing from me either ;)

Anyways, decent episode. I like how they made Nayuki aware of Yuuichi's feelings as wells. The thing is I can't see anyone else with Yuuichi besides Ayu whether or not I like some of the others girls better.

My tier...
Sayuri > Mai and Ayu and Shiori > Makoto and Nayuki > everyone else

on a partial rewatch of this episode, a couple other things.

Jun is awesome for first noticing Yuuichi's harem last episode and now noticing that Ayu's a gradeschooler! rofl! He has more insight than we give him credit for XD.

Cyruz KyoAni has done an action anime...sorta. FMP Fumoffu...sorta.

And BOO at the Ayu/Yuuichi kiss! Booooooo....lame. So random, so outta nowhere almost. The only thing that sparked that moment seemed to be the realization that both of them had ppl lost in front of them. In the recent times we've barely seen anything romantic between them! There was definitely more romantic times between Mai and Shiori! I mean come on this time even the Toei version gave a bit of romantic foreground before putting them together this was...too sudden. Oh well at least we get treated to classic focus on Ayu's tear and pan out to cinematic camera scroll.

or maybe this is a KyoAni trick and next episode will pull a classic "embarrassed new lovers" trick! XD

True, that one was cool, too :D.

I was more thinking into the direction of, let's say... a Speed Grapher-like story. But it's fine. I like it how it is.

Aw~, she's not~! Lol. But I bet that's gonna be the favortite part of Jason from AoMM.

Btw, I like Makoto, too. In fact, there's not one a Character I don't like. Kaori, Amano, ...
Okay, maybe Jun. That guy's nutz. But I guess it was necessary to place a guy like him in heh. ^_^

I didn't find the Ayu x Yuuichi romance surprising. I was actually waiting for that to happen. I just had a feeling it would be that. But I did feel that the kiss was random.

I honestly like Ayu, and the two of them together, but I agree. The kiss came outta no where. A little more buildup/different scenario would have been nice. BOOOOO.

Otherwise, it was a good episode. :]

And, just because this thread has tiers...

I for one didn't mind the kiss, they were both in emotional distress and just needed a way to comfort each other. It kind of reminds me of the one in Code Geass.

I was unbelievably happy with the kiss. Just when it seems like there'll be no overt romance, KyoAni pretty much gives us two in a row. And a real future with YuuichiAyu.... I hope <3

I completely agree with you on this. I think people here are thinking far too one dimensionally. While the kiss may eventually spark some romance, at this stage, it is mealy a (admittedly rather touching) way for Yuuichi and Ayu to comfort one another. When looked at from this perspective, the kiss certainly doesn't come from out of nowhere.

A 5/5 for this one as well.
The kiss scene was alright, but not too romantinc and sorta sudden and you get the wrong picture when you see Ayu and Yuuichi kissing... like he's some kind of molester kissing a grade schooler -_-

OMG!! What's with you Fox haters?! Makoto's awesome!! Hmmm a cute pair of fox ears and tail would had made her so adorable and make it a definite Makoto+Yuuichi preference for me though.
Well my tiers are something like this: Mai> Nayuki> Makoto> Ayu > Shiori and everybody else who liked him. So ya, Makoto's not last on mine!!

Liked how they did the kiss, although it was too sudden. Yuuichi must be dumb to not notice that Nayuki is talking about him.

Tiers are for queers!

Shiori>Ayu>the rest

I like Ayu, but there was no real buildup to that kiss. And why Nayuki? Aren't they cousins?

And I think Mai kind of fails.

Queen huh...

Shiori > Mai > the rest > Makoto.

Not that I dislike Makoto that bad, but she's just not as great as the others.


My favorite is Mai. Shiori is the one that I like to meet in real life.

That kiss was pretty random... Not enough build up to it. Nayuki look hardcore in ponytail and headband ^_^

I just rewatched the anime with the blu ray version, and I still hate this episode for that lame kiss, which ruined the whole show for me. Like Sunlone said, it had no build up at all, it came out of nowhere.
And my favourite is still Shiori.

ok what the fudge? O.o
ayu x yuuichi???i did NOT see that coming LOL
it's kinda strange if i think of it...


good episode anyway...but the fact that Yuiichi is becoming a harem male character is something i don't like...
I mean he "marries" Makoto in ep 10 and in less than a month he kisses another gir that(dies?) and ONE episode later he kisses ANOTHER girl?wth

I have the feeling...No...i'm positive that there will be some nayuki yuiichi romantic stuff in these last episodes...Incest is the only thing that's missing from this xD

kanon is awesome and a masterpiece until now but it's a little....strange :),so that's why it will not beat clannad in my top list,100% sure

Really? A kiss? What the fuck?
That was really out of nowhere. Ayu's relationship with Yuuichi hasn't really unraveled yet to the point where this kiss was actually needed. It was just a spontaneous horny kiss.
Made no sense to me. Hell, Shiori had a better relationship with Yuuichi and all he got was a kiss on the cheek?
Bullshit.
