Saying Kanon is overrated is like saying Haruhi is overrated... Good grief... I've read most of your post and it lacks support... And all you do is... "I want this... I want that..." like a kid... >>tj han March 23rd, 2007 9:38 am >> >>How is Kanon not Harem? Look, the fact that the main guy has lots of girls make it a harem already.

I wouldn't really call KANON a harem type show... I was pretty sure the blog explained it properly yet you didn't understand...? Or are you saying I'm (That's me) living a harem life because I have 6 girl friends (ordinary friends... but one of them adores me, though I don't care about her) which I could talk from time to time? How absurd... Oh... I wonder what would happen if I gather them together? Might as well not... they might think I'm a 軟派 [ Bwahahaha! Just some nitpick!

Sorta like how we'd call Code Geass a "mecha show with harem elements". Or how Haruhi is a "sci-fi school comedy with harem elements". Seriously, though, it's staggering how many shows these days are referred to has harems, like Shakugan no Shana or Higurashi no Naku Koro ni. It's almost as hard to define as "moe", which is just rediculous. Here’s a thought: What if instead of just calling it a “harem” show, we call it a “romantic drama with harem elements”?

In essence, it is not. But it's the only anime format it can be converted to, having a eroge as a source. Either that, or totally neglect all the other girls and go for a romance approach. Which would have failed anyways. Kanon is not harem? In essence, it is not. But it’s the only anime format it can be converted to, having a eroge as a source.

I'm going to stop arguing about this because flame wars with people that I semi-know over the internet is scary. The internet is serious business. Oh, and for the record, I haven't even watched half of Kanon 2006, but I really liked what I watched. I wrote this post because I wanted to write something, and there was something conviniently brewing for me to feed more wood to the fire, but I don't like how big this fire is getting. I'm not proud of my unprofessional journalism. Not that I think of myself as a professional or anything. Maybe I'm just trying to justify my like for Kanon against my hatred of harems, but I really can't think of Kanon as a harem show.
