Reviews/Anime/Kanon 2006

The past season has had several remade series and this is one of them. However this time it was successful.
The original version had 13 episodes and the action came fast. The new version has 24 episodes giving time for character development and more detail of the past relationships. One major change, for those familiar with the original version, is Yuichi's relationship with Makoto. There is much more emphasis on their relationship, so much more that it almost seems like she is the main character. This time he grants her wish before her disappearance and performs a do-it-yourself marriage ceremony on the hilltop . He even had purchased a veil for her to wear for the occasion.
Ayu's situation seems to be known by several characters but they let Yuichi discover his own memory of the past before telling him. Also, at the end Ayu definitely is not running around like a child.
The graphics and art are much better in this version and I highly recommend it.
