Wow, is it really almost halfway through the first quarter? Man time flies, you know? Yup. Well, today was crazy as the title suggests, and yet nothing really happened. I might as well give you my mini-review of Kanon because that's all I can really think of doing for today.
My dear lord Kanon was amazing. I can't even begin to tell you how excited I was to watch it all the way through. And at some point this week if I have enough time I'll probibly watch it through again. Yeah, I know I'm a dork but here was my thoughts on it. I really liked the artistic style. It wasn't anything particularly fancy, and it really doesn't look nice in close ups of faces, but it looked beautiful overall. And the music was very nice and placid.

Seven years ago, he moved to this small town where it snowed quite often to live with his aunt and cousin. Their names were Akiko and Nayuki. The show begins where after these seven years he is forced to move back into the town but he's forgotten almost everything and everyone he ever met in the town. The family characters were interesting...
Akiko wasn't a very moving charater in a lot of ways simply because how she acted. She only remembered things when it was good for a plot point, and she never voiced her ridiculas beliefs on the subject. But her kindness won you over and you feel bad and good about her in the end when the story begins to revolve around her. Then Nayuki has a kinda...
