Auuuuuuuu~

Oh god, this sound is much cuter than uguu~. I fully, absolutely, greatly, firmly and (*add more great words here*) vote Auuu~ to be the cuter sound compared to the uguu~ by Ayu. Well, also because I am biased because I really hate dumb girls. Dumb girls turn me off, big time.

Anyway, we see the introduction of two new characters that are possibly having some strong leads to Yuiichi eventually. Both of them are nameless for now so I will give them nicknames for now. Considering that I am not one who has watched the previous Kanon or have bothered spoiling myself on the endings of the gals, I have absolutely no idea what their names are.

One is a shy and sickly girl (my guess) who seldom travels out of her house and hence bought her groceries in bulk. I presume she is sick because she is wearing too much clothing even for a winter. I will call her shy-chan. After being informed that her name is Shiori and she is mentioned in episode 1, she will be named Shiori.

Another is a girl who charges out at the end of the episode, trying to kick Yuuichi as she has a grudge against him. Making Auuu~ sounds and all that, with some fangs, i will call her Fang-chan (not to confuse with LOL OR FANG-TAN, who is tsuruya, one of the cutest green-haired anime gals ever in history).

That said, time for a short episode summary and my conspiracy theories that will make you laugh because I am such a bad guesser.

Episode summary

Yuuichi woke up, with the alarm clock sounding just like Nayuki. Nayuki’s room started to ring with tons of alarm clocks, as Nayuki was still happily sleeping. Yuuichi immediately shut off all the alarm clocks and shook Nayuki to wake her up. As they had breakfast, Yuuichi declined the offer to have jam as he does not have a sweet tooth. Akiko gave him a special jam that he nearly died eating because it tasted totally horrible. He also declined the offer to have another piece of bread with that jam. As they traveled to school, Nayuki asked if he could remember the street he was in, but he could not as Nayuki felt it was a a bit sad. They then picked up the pace as they were getting late.

As they reached the class, Yuuichi gave a brief introduction and Nayuki was very excited as she waved her hands in the class. After class, Nayuki was about to go for track training and she shocked Yuuichi when she said she told everyone in the morning that they were staying together. Yuuichi did not want needless gossip. However, Nayuki lost her footing and fell on two seniors, Mai and ermm another genki girl. With that, Nayuki left Yuuichi alone as he wanted to roam around the campus. However, he got lost after realizing that the school was really big. Luckily, he met Kaori who helped him find his way out. She also mentioned that he was as what Nayuki said he was, a bit strange.

As he traveled to town to buy uden ingredients as Akiko had instructed for dinner, he met up with Ayu who knocked onto him despite his attempt to avoid as he told Ayu to move to the direction where she held his chopsticks. It did not work as Ayu was left-handed. Ayu once again ran away from the taiyaki seller after not bringing money and a doggie this time. As they ran, they realized that they were lost. Ayu then realized that Yuuichi was the same Yuiichi who she knew 7 years ago and was so happy as she had suspicions already. As she attempted to hug him, he evaded and Ayu banged onto the tree.

As she banged on the tree, snow fell onto a shy and sickly girl who dropped all her things. With a bit of teasing and the likes along the way, Ayu eventually was glad that she was able to meet Yuuichi again. However, during the conversation where we realized that Shiori was a junior, he also realized that Ayu was the same age as him. Shocking news, as Shiori guided them out to the town area before going home. Yuuichi and Ayu then left, having a pinky finger promise to meet again. Yuuichi tried to ask how to contact Ayu but she had ran away before he could do anything.

Buying his ingredients, he was assaulted by a girl (Fang-chan), who looked dangerous and said that she had a grudge against Yuuichi. However, her attacks were weak and she said it was due to her being very hungry. She then fainted, saying auuuuu~

Auuuuuuuu~

Thoughts

Hmm, I kinda like this set up episode, trying to add a bit of character introduction for the important characters. I really like the new character, Fang-chan, because she seems to be an absolute tsundere. Perhaps, she is just a very violent person with very weak attacks that are really amusing to me. Also, she has fangs that are a total moe~ point. So yea, a good character.

I also quite like the shy Shiori, who seemed to be rather friendly and her scarf like clothing is cute as well. I mean, all the characters are really cute in Kanon, which really helped. Ayu is also quite cute in this episode, even though I must admit that uguu~ is losing its charm on me as I have a strong dislike for dumb characters.

Now on to the conspiracy theories that I feel. You know, after the fox in episode 1, I have a really wild guess that Fang-chan is in fact the fox. I have no idea how she is a fox and how she has a grudge against Yuuichi but considering the context of Kanon and remembering AIR, i am sure that there is a possibility it will happen. I am just guessing since I avoid trying to spoil myself unless someone tells me it’s true. Also, I am a bad guesser so those who knows the story can laugh all you want.

Also, with the image forming when they had the promise (Ayu and Yuuichi) and that Yuuichi had a slight flashback meant something I feel. Ayu also mentioned that Yuuichi made a promise when they were young that he will return. For some reason, I have a feeling that the key to Yuuichi forgetting everything about the town was due to a trigger caused by Ayu. Maybe, Ayu is an angel or spirit that has caused some distortion of reality fabric or something.

Well, I am guessing that due to the fact that in the OP or ED, they showed her in angel wings which meant that she is probably not fully human. My guess anyway.

Next episode, even though the preview says nothing really.

p/s I will be making a poll soon to see what are the bottom 5 anime series and I will ask Mr. Admin to set up a poll for people to vote for the series that you guys want me to keep. We see how that goes later on. ^+^
