First, I would like to say… its hard to wait a week for the next episode, but necessary. I’m soo rewatching this! Anyway, Kanon steps it up a notch with the plotline and Yuuichi’s persona in episode 05. If I haven’t said it, Yuuichi is one of the luckiest characters evar! It doesn’t matter that the town is full of mysterious girls, because they make life interesting. The basic story is still elusive, but we see some development from Yuuichi’s interactions with Mai, and the time for reavealing good details seems almost perfect.

I have to say, I enjoyed watching this set of episodes, but it felt somewhat airy, or sparse. Welcome to the N.H,K. still confuses me with its story, but I suppose the ultimate goal is to really see if Misaki can “save” Tatsuhiro from the hiki-life (not that its a bad thing, but can’t go on forever, imo). In lue of this outlook, where does this set of episodes take the plot? Mainly, episodes 11-14, the “Suicide Arc” takes up quite a bit more time than I would have suspected, but why? Does there really need to be 3+minutes of screen time showing Satou testing Misaki’s defensive behavior when he raises a fist at her? What I’m seeing will be either some decent foreshadowing and linkage for a fitting end, or just random non-sense that will not be addressed at all. The latter is worst cast, because I don’t recall this in the manga at all, so it better be taken care of in the anime. Some short notes on the episodes (very random).
