Actually... that sounds like really good news, especially given his enjoyment of Kashimashi |

If you are reffering to Kanon's tendency to disappear characters who's arc is finished then yeah. I'd be thinking, "Well this isn't a large scoped series that switches settings a lot and these girls have pretty strict routines.....so where did they go?" That along with Yuuichi's characterization were my two personal problems. By Yuuichi's character I'm reffering to how he seemed to randomly alternate between being a loving older brother type to a sarcastic bully to the girls, yet no matter what they always seemed to respond to him as if he were in the nice onii-chan type personality. It seemed more then a little odd. I blame Sugita Tomokazu more than anything in that case though. The guy just cannot lose the sarcastic tone to save his life. Anyway, I liked how in Clannad even if the focus wasn't on a particular girl at the moment you would still see her in the background or she would be in the scenes of other characters and even have a few lines. It just felt more natural and less blatantly structured that way. |

you're right, Clannad discussion doesn't belong here. But I'm definitely talking about that one. I didn't see much of difference really, but in general imho Clannad had very weak characters (or rather the stronger ones didn't get a lot of screentime in general), so that's probably influencing my opinion. Back to topic ^^
I found that quite refreshing in fact. Probably because I've seen too many harem animes where the male lead has no character at all, so it was nice that Yuuichi could be sarcastic f.ex. I agree it might not be really coherent, but well, for the above reason I quite liked it. And I believe KyoAni really aimed at a "Kyon-type" of character by even giving him the same voice actor. |

I actually have to agree with this, What you're seeing as inconsistency is really part of what makes Yuuichi feel real. People, as a whole, are not consistent; guys generally like to tease girls, and Yuuichi even realizes when he has gone too far (See Eps 3). I admit to being a fan of seinen anime, but even to me, Yuuich is the first male character that actually felt like a real person (certainly K-1 and Kaoru aren't even close  )
In the same vein, I find the comparison to Kyon a bit funny as (while I loved Haruhi) I've always found Kyon the least believable male lead. Considering the un-reality of the series though, he fits right in. |

Clannad has a different reason for doing so you will find this out in the end. But the game weaves them together better than the pervious two games (Kanon and AIR). As for Yuuichi's in consistant personality I don't think that is true. He is like a caring father figure/friend. I didn't see any inconsistant changes. |

And yet I've seen way more out there in a character named Rance from the series of the same name. Once you've played that game Yuuchi just seems like an offshoot of the regular harem lead. Plus once you've heard Sugita Tomokazu in a couple roles you start hearing just him in pretty much everything he does as opposed to hearing the character. It's not a Kyon-Type role, anything Kyoani aimed for (as he was the seiyuu in the game itself) or even anything really unique at that point, it's just Sugita Tomokazu in his typecast sarcastic male lead role and it's gotten a bit annoying. |

First, I am surpised it took this long for people to get the corelation of the word and the name of the episodes... i guess being a musician...i have an advantage
Second, at least the name is not a butchery job...just a choice Third, i have enjoy what i've seen of Kanon and I have been frustrated by its slow release and the difficulty in finding any of the DVD's. When I saw 6 was on hold I chose to not buy anymore DVD's because I was afraid I wouldn't be able to complete the series. Does anyone know if Clannad will be picked up and dubbed by Funimation? ADV did AIR TV & Kanon, I hate for the best of these stories to get lost |

I knew what it was from the get go, and I'm not a musician by any stretch. I'm just very ecclectic.
