Somewhat a silly reminder, but the Kanon Prelude DVD is going to be released Aug. 25.

Of course, fansubs of that prelude might be released a few days after the DVD premiere so it's something to look forward to.

New Kanon trailer is out!!!

From the looks of it, it'll premiere this October. Of course I'm not expecting it to be another phenominal hit like the Melencholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, but I know it'll be FAR better than Toei's version.

Seems like the people in Japan were able to watch a sneak preview of the full first episode in Anime Fiesta. According to them, a few things occured:

- the main male lead Yuuichi is actually played by Kyon....err....Tomokazu Sugita.

- reactions of the first episode are as expected.....tears of joy! Some claimed KyoAni's animation actually surpassed Air TV!

Also the broadcast premiere on Kanon 2006 is October 5th!

Well, I got a chance to check out the promo stuff found in the disc. It basically has clean version the OP and ED sequences and 4 promo trailers. I believe the first 3 are already available in some streaming site.

The 4th promo is new and extended, and it shows a montage of some of the scenes of the TV series. You can even hear the characters talking. Animation will not dissappoint (no duh), and some of the scenes like Makoto slapping Yuuichi and Ayu crashing onto a tree look REALLY painful!

Though I still can't shake off Kyon's image every time Yuuichi starting talking!

Now the OP sequence......HOLY SHIT!!! My computer starting lagging a bit because the whole thing brought tears to my eyes! The way they did those moving angle shots while each girl's hair flowing so naturally makes me wonder where the hell does KyoAni get their money and resources. Mai does have a cool, badass pose, and Ayu is still as cute as ever. You need to see it for yourself!

The ED sequence is pretty typical since it shows Ayu running across the snow. I bet someone can makes good use of that though.

Uguuu~~~!!! Episode 1 was one heck of a nostagia trip. I remember most of the main scenes from Toei's version awhile back only this time it's far better animated. Not to mention the pacing is solid, and the insertion of some parallel flashbacks should keep the viewer curious of what's to come. And then there's the music; catchy as ever. And not to mention I felt really cold when watching this.

So for anyone who hasn't experience the previous version (of which I DON'T reccommend watching if you're watching KyoAni's version; it'll save you from discovering the twists).....

....basically it's your introduction with Yuuichi coming back to the city and meeting up with his cousin Nayuki. Ayu is introduced in the direct fashion while other main characters are more indirect.

Ayu is even cuter than before (that twirl she did.......gah! >_<), and I still can't get Kyon out of my mind everytime Yuuichi spoke (maybe we'll get a Haruhi reference snuck in the future. Or better yet......

). Animation is still as slick as ever, and it would be interesting how KyoAni tackles a 24 episode series.

Well, sit back and enjoy the ride, but don't get too comfortable!

Ah, I have been waiting for this, and episode 1 was indeed a treat. I have seen the previous series already, and I must say Kyo-ani is already demonstrating their superior animation skills here, as backgrounds are moving, movements are more fluid, and ofcourse the insert of random side things not realy important for the story, but adds life to the series that Kyo-ani likes to do.

In one of the scenes where Nayuki? (I think, blue heaired one, can't remember names good atm) turns around very animatedly, I coulda sworn I saw Haruhi at that moment ;p

Yes, Nayuki is the blue-haired one; the first girl Yuuichi met.
