Forgotten memories and a whole lot of tragedy. I'm really unsure what to make of Kanon. While watching I was never bored, as a matter of fact I was very invested in the story (at least past episode 10, the first 10 episodes are very slow). It isn't quite the tear jerker that some make it out to be and like some of the bad reviews have said it tries to emotionally manipulate the viewer almost exactly like some of the other works by Key. But I can't deny that Kanon brings a heartwarming, melancholy feeling that can really put one at ease. Kanon isn't ... a much watch, for most watching Clannad would be the better choice and could just leave Kanon alone. But for those who are willing to to get lost in a story, even if its not perfect. There is something here that is worth seeing.

I found this show on dvd at a flea market by chance a few weeks ago. To be honest I only got it because I thought it would be bad 2000's stuff I could laugh at but actually became quite invested by the end. First off I would say watch the dub. I don't even know if the show has a sub but the dub is very solid and made the experience for me. As for the show itself, it starts off as a regular slice of life show (minus the seven nanas part) for a good while building characters and such. Toward the second ... half of the series, it picks up and becomes more serious and has some genuine emotional moments that make the viewer feel for the main character Nana, which is where the show really shines. Overall I think Seven of Seven is a show worth your time, especially if you like comfy 2000's anime dubs or if your worried about school like Nana is, as can be very cathartic and relatable.
