| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- All I need to say about this episode, is that I can no longer say I've never cried while watching a show...° Q_Q Damn, I don't even want to think about it. But the glimmer of hope at the end made me feel a lot better at least :P 5/5 °- because of that, Kanon's going to be bumped a point higher then I would've originally pegged it lol. |
 |
| it's always this episode that people seem to cry in...even though I thought the later arcs were sadder. meh, it gets the benefit of being the first sad moment i guess |
| Well, I haven't gotten to the later arcs yet :) The way I think it though, if this is going to be a string of sad-ending arcs, it wouldn't make sense for them to get less sad as you progress :P |
|
| I really liked this episode, but I have to say the very end, from the moment Amano appears to speak with Yuichi, through their conversation and to the beginning of the ED, is one of the best-crafted conclusions to an anime episode I've seen in several years. There's a moment where the shot expands out and the light disappears just as the snow arrives and the mood of their conversation changes that is just brilliant. A lot of people like Kyoto Animation for the obvious fluid animation and lovable characters. It's the little details like this that draw me in, however. |

| Amazing episode. So sad, but the shot of Makoto on the hill at the end made me kinda hopeful. I wonder if they'll meet again... |
| i cried all the way thru.. but makoto lyin in the grass in the end means she's still alive or what? |
 |
| Such a sad episode. I didn't cry (which is surprising for me) but it certainly tugged at my heartstrings. Di27 said: i cried all the way thru.. but makoto lyin in the grass in the end means she's still alive or what? From what I understood, it's not that she's alive, but it's what Yuuichi would wish for as a miracle. |
     |
| Great episode, lots of emotion all the way through, I didn't cry at all even though I've been waiting for a show to make me bawl again ever since |

| That was pretty touching. No crying from me, but I was on the verge for most of the episode. I hope Mai's arc is next. Ayu is my favorite character, but I'm most interested in knowing what Mai is up to. |
| After suffering so much from this episode, i'm suprised Yuuichi kept his composure. Having to watch someone you love die slowly in front of you will devestate anyone. But he did the right thing, fulfilling Makoto's wishes. I'm sure she died with no regrets and sadness. |
| The scenario sort of relates to the japanese drama "1 litre of tears" doesn't it? teenage girl slowly loses her physical capabilities but keeps her mental capacity. |
| wow ive never had emotions run as much as they do in this series. |
| nice episode it does make you sad...... |
 |
| merging the above post to Kanon 2006, as this was originally posted in the 2002 version. |
| idk i found the time leading to the death sadder than the death itself... i think this many episodes is enogh for today |
First Sig built from scratch 2nd overall^^^ |
| it was areally sad episode. enough to make men feel sad,and some were driven to tears. I kinda wish that they'll continue the story,at least an OVA,and that they will all be complete there. I actually found makoto annoying at the start. but I eventually liked here. and it makes me sad that she had to go. |
| Oh damn, I teared up a bit. Great ep. |
| I really liked this episode but It's still a bit like Air but air would now stop and in this anime there are still 14 eps comming so let's hope those eps are as good as this one 5/5 ^.^ |
 |
| Never before have I cried so much in a single episode. Such a happy and yet sad ending for Makoto. Yet I believe that she had fulfilled all her desires until the very end. Yuuichi stayed strong for her sake and made her happy. If that would happen to me, I would have done the very same thing. Overall the best episode that I have seen in this type of genre. 10/10 . |

That's actually when it jerks my tears... not at the end where she disappears, but the hardship she and yuuichi had to go through when she slowly forgets everything. sigh. |
| Website http://akariREMOVED.co.cc/sig/sig.php is reporting as Malware. |
| meh, I was pissed off. Getting married? WTF?!! >=( |
  |
| Are you jealous that Yuuichi got to marry her? :> Haha just kidding, it was kinda weird, but nevertheless the most logical thing to give her considering its almost byebye for her :| |
     |
| auu~ nice episode. and i think makoto is much more suitable couple for yuuichi |

| kanon has so BEAUTIFUL story..i cried after this episode. it was soo sad :( i think this anime is better as onegai teacher.. *i dont believe what i said o_O* |

| I feel so emotionless for not crying now like all of you guys. Loved this episode, it was very sad, especially to see Makoto being less and less human. |
| all I have to say Is... "WHY?!" She was my favorite character! Why?!~ Omg I cried so hard In this.. god Im gonna need some time to get back to this.. I think I've Just become over-ly depressed.. shows what It can do to you.. sigh.. |
     |
| I thought I was going to be sick during this episode. Makoto's arc made me cry so much. |
| Forever Fornever |
| This episode hit me on a really personal level. I had a great aunt that had Alzheimer and watching Makoto deteriorate mental brought back emotions that I was quite honestly unprepared for. I had to bench the anime for a couple weeks before I could move on. This show is by far my favorite anime ever. |
| This was seriously mad sadness. Good ep, one of the saddest ive seen tho :( |
     |
| This is the first time i saw this anime, and the first time in many years i actually teared up with a story/game. (the last one being ever 17). I totally love this episode. Damm i'm really going to give it a 10 now. |
 |
Teddy said: I feel so emotionless for not crying now like all of you guys. Loved this episode, it was very sad, especially to see Makoto being less and less human. Same about me... I was expecting a much more "sad until the end" image... But marrying just before disappearing, it broke my expectations. I think it's most due to i have seen the previous version Kanon (2002). There, scenes runs faster, so the end is the sadder part and there is no wedding. I think that's why i almost cried in episode 9 of Kanon (2006) but was kinda emontionless in the end of episode 10... But i'm impressed with this good producing. It's real that more episodes = more emotions!! Wait, what was that last scene!? I expect this series be different then the previous version then... |

| That episode was beautiful, man the way it was orchestrated blows my mind @_@ |
| And this arc is finally over... Decent episode, but not good enough to make people cry... or so I think o.o |
| I don't really feel much impact from it. However, I can tell that it is pretty sad compare to a lot of others out there. I can imagine a lot of people have teary eyes or cry over this ^_^ The last moment between Makoto and Yuuichi is heart warming, sitting by each other playing with a bell till she finally gave in. I really adore Makoto. Especially in this episode, she's clinging on to her favorite person, I can't explain, but she's like a pet, except way surpasses that level of closeness. I just don't get it. It's a rather special relationship that can't be describe with words. (Though I believe adore should be the closest description.) It is pretty sad, Just not quite there to make me eyes go teary. I'd give this episode a 9/10 if I can rate it. |

| This episode is pure concentrated evil on a stick. It depressed me enough that I stopped watching this show for a year. That doesn't happen. This series seems to be good at evoking emotion that way. Definitely well-done. |
| Dead as the moon is, it still pulls the tide; somewhere within it must still be alive. |
| great again, but very sad, i must admit i found makoto a bit annoying at first, but by the end i thought it was really sad that she died |
| Anime makes me smile! :-) |
