I will try to be brief and point out, in my opinion, the main advantages and disadvantages

So "Kanon" made by studio "Key" in 2000, visual novel gets a new show in 2006, well let's look at it.

A boy named Yuichi arrives in the city of his childhood, after 7 years. Also he does not remember anything and gradually, in this city, he meets girls "from the past", which involves a lot of tragic stories and helps them.

To be honest, the show is very dramatic, but it banality. Like all the rules of the studio "Key" and what they have always been strong, we have a school and a number of different women with different stories that are revealed in the process, and we learn about their dramatic fate. The problem with all of these ideas is that after the story of a girl, the story abruptly switches to another character, and that in the last series was still a major, it moves into the background, If not disappear from the frame at all.

It begins pretty standard, we show several women, but did not disclose their stories as if they are present, as ordinary characters. At first glance, it may seem that this is a standart "slice of life", but the story progresses at an early stage, the dream, as it were, takes us to look beyond story. And yet, in all this story is based on supernatural powers - that is, miracles, and I will not say it's bad, because that was a miracle, we must believe in it.
As for the characters, they are good, for each character, made a separate character stories associated with them.

Of course, like all works of the studio "Key", after about 8 episodes, the viewer becomes interested in the fate of the protagonist and supporting characters, and here is no exception. Kanon attracts attention better and better with each episode and certainly causes a lot of emotions.

And most importantly, in my opinion, in this show, it's a music. Each series has a musical name, such as "Songs without Words" or "The Nocturne of Farewell ." A lot of beautiful piano in the background, which plays almost constantly. Maeda Jun - music genius, skillfully plays on the feelings at some point in the series (Not surprisingly, because he has always been good in the genres: music, drama and school).

The conclusion to this series is a subtle point, since in spite of a good idea and excellent execution of it, the anime does not avoid the banal situations that are based on standards, which, in turn, are not an experienced viewer can not see. However, Kanon fine plays on the feelings that course and is required by the genre drama, fans of this genre (Drama and Harem),will love it, because it is made at a good level

Kanon - it's a drama, performed at the highest level, but only within the limits of the genre, but in any case it is worthy of attention and interest the viewer.
