God, I’m listening to “pure snows” and Impz comics are going through my head nonstop. How the hell am I supposed to blog this show? Either I need more outlets (blogging Kanon!) or skills (drawing Impz comics!) or I just need to shut the fuck up and get back to this show. Waaaay too many tangents today.

I am impressed again with KyoAni's spirit of keeping it faithful to the original work, especially with the usage of the BGM from the games rather than make a whole new one. I'll give credit to them for actually animating the Shori & Kaori scene based on the BGM, pure snows from the Kanon AIR Piano Arrange Refeel album, released in December 2003.

This can be seen in all the main heroines' arc in the game and the anime.

KyoAni's gone with all the 'good' endings so far (and it's hardly possible to imagine them going with Ayu's 'bad' ending to conclude the anime, given the fundamentally inconclusive nature of such an ending), but more pertinently, Shiori's story as it is constructed in the game demands a happy ending. SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS <spoiler>Up until the boxcutter revelation, Shiori is presented as an extraordinarily well adjusted, mentally strong character prepared to handle death or life with equanimity because she's resigned herself to her fate. The boxcutter scene's purpose is to establish the lie of this persona and thereby give weight to Yuuichi's impact on Shiori's life; without even knowing that he's doing it, he makes her desire life, and from that point her reconciliation with Kaori and the revelation that they shared the same dream lead logically to the miraculous survival. The central truth Kanon seeks to describe is the notion that miracles do happen, if enough desire is involved in creating them. Shiori's famous miracle line, touted by bloggers all over the net as a great truth, is actually presented in Kanon as a kind of irony; it's true only because Shiori has given up on surviving, and the moment she stops giving up it stops being true.</spoiler> <em>EDIT: Added spoiler tags.</em> I’d wager my house that she’ll survive.

The piano is just haunting in that scene as is Shiori's signature line about miracles- all set against perfect animation.

I can't believe that no one has mentioned the artwork/animation for this episode......the river effect at the beginning (while Yuuichi and Kaori are talking) was literally breathtaking :) P.S. Isn't Kanon supposed to be 24 epidodes, not 26????

That pose is like Shiori-chan's signature pose, she looks sooooooooooooo cute while doing that. >> Yes, I agree… KyoAni giving a bit of tribute or they just like that pose?
