Kanon (2006) - Episode 10
What a heart felt episode…
I think that even the coldest people who watch this Anime will certainly feel something when this episode finishes. Despite having an average beginning, the story really starts to pick things up when we discover the shocking fact about Makoto’s past, and the reason for which she exists.
Yuiichi, the main character, certainly went up a lot in my consideration, after this episode ended. Although he’s a bit arrogant some times, he’s proving out to be more “human” than I expected.
Anyway, this episode marks the end of the first arc, and if the season ended right there, I would have still loved the Anime. I wouldn’t recommend Kanon to everyone, however, those of you who enjoy other Animes like: Chobits, Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien or even Wolf’s Rain, will find it very appealing.
In terms of pencil and color quality, this is also one of the best episodes so far. And I’m quite satisfied that the quality of the art hasn’t decreased “dramatically”, unlike what we are witnessing in other series.
I leave you now with an image from one of the most beautiful, and touching, moments so far:
This episode certainly is touching, but I didn’t find it to be as sad as some people suggest.
