I obviously haven’t done any videos in a long time. In fact, this clip isn’t cute at all.
I guess I chose this scene more for private reasons. I just found the whole situation so ironic, talks of BGR always tugs at the strings of my heart. haha.
Many cute scenes in episode 19… like the Nayuki who drowns washing her face. Or even all those chibi yuuichis.
But the highlight has got to be the kissing scene between Ayu and Yuuichi. KyoAni… You’ve really outdone yourself.
Kawaii! I totally admire Yuuichi’s wit. I strive to learn from him.
That said, I had the exact same reaction as Yuuichi when I saw Mai in her outfit. I was eating lunch, and my mouth just stayed wide open. Although admittedly if I was there, I wouldn’t have been able to say anything for the next 15 min.
Before watching this episode, I went to look at the preview, which basically gave the title of episode 9 as Berceuse. It’s french for lullaby.
Having known that, I pretty much watched the show with much shivering and goosebumps. It’s like watching a person going through life happily, but knowing that he’s going to die in the next few days.
There was laughter, but an overwhelming cover of sadness.
I thought this scene was so funny, yet so tragic at the same time, if you knew the background of makoto and what’s to come… Every word seemed filled with foreshadowing and irony.
In other notes, yup… this episode felt a little short in budget. The still shots… and where did every other character disappear to. But kudos to KyoAni for making the episode feel so wonderful regardlessly.
You know… I cried buckets watching Air….
And even from episode 1, no matter how funny Kanon was, I always had this fear hanging that it would turn tragic…
We’re entering the Makoto story arc now
p.s. sidenote, I’ve not watch the toei version, but looking at comparison shots… it’s not hard to see why people say that kyoani is alot better. Especially the mood setting in this episode. In the above captured scene in toei, Makoto actually THREW the cat.
