| Well, I watched the original Kanon and only rated it a 4. That being said, this episode was really good at pulling my emotional heartstrings, they really did the Makoto arc well. T.T Kudos! I started crying around the wedding veil part. |
 |
| The whole arc was lame. This episode was lame. Ugh, kimochi warui. |
| TT_TT that is all. |

leming400 said: i have to say it was very sad, but after watching clannad i don't think i'll cry while watching an anime again, not even a super sad one with an overly kawaii girl caalled makoto. This is how I feel. This episode wasn't bad, but Clannad did sad moments far better. Main reason for that? IMO, the music in Clannad creates a far better atmosphere to generate the crys. Kanon's music while ok, just isnt quite as deep as Clannad, and thats why I don't feel as though I can really enjoy this. Clannad got to me so much I ended up DLing the OST and listen to that. Ana (sung by Lia) is stunning. Its on my YouTube channel if you want know which one I mean (link to in on me profile). Hopefully, its just this arc. Hope the following ones are better. |

| This episode turned me into a crying baby. I seriously cried several times throughout the whole thing. Makoto :( |
| oh what a surprise,yet ANOTHER key character dies in "strange conditions" very sad episode indeed,but i felt like they were trying too hard to make us cry :( why do i have the feeling that ayu is the next to die,and that she is a pidgeon ore seagull or something?:) seriously,those wings on her bag probably weren't put randomly there and also you can see her in the opening with some big wings that were spreading behind her... |

| As they left the house I was nearly in tears at least she seems not really to be dead I hope she comes back during this show |

| its a great episode but i didnt cry as much as i did at the end of the fuko arc in Clannad |
Love & Piece |
| Drama, pure drama... |
| It was sad but not sad enough to make me tear up. Let's see how the rest of the arcs go. |
| poor makoto and yuuichi :(. such a moving eps :'( |

| Nice ep, but I gotta say it didn't move me much after all those resemblance to Clannad/Da Capo, etc. Should've watched it before xD I sure hope Makoto is still alive! |
| Yeah I didn't cry. The Fuko arc in CLANNAD made me teary so I am kind of disappointed at Kanon at the moment. Hope it gets better. |
SpaceKozak said: Aren't you supposed to kiss the bride? That plain character? Amano is soo much better. I wonder why Yuiichi doesn't even try to put his tongue in her mouth. Makoto's arc is one of the most boring thing I've ever seen. Too much episodes for a little story. I've played the game, and I've seen Kanon 2004: it's technically inferior but more a TV show than this one, that's a 1:1 transposition of the game, a good copy with amazing storyboards and animations but with the same weak story that worsen every time. But I'll wait for Nayuki's and Shiori's arcs to try to look better stories in Kanon 2006. |
 |
| Didn't cry. Not too close to crying either. Still awesome episode and I hope the later ones are even better. |
 |
| Just finished watching the Dub episode and it had the power to make me cry too. It's the only anime episode in history that is guaranteed to get the waterworks out of me. It must be something deep down that makes it strike such a chord. I'm generally on the verge for most of the episode until she disappears where I just cant manage to hold it anymore. ;_; Hope no one would think less of me because of that. |
 |
| I think watching her trying to remember Yuuichi's name was the most tear-jerking moment...although if she said it again at the end I would definitely have broken down :-/ It's proving to be a great series, even in the post-After Story afterglow Possibly Mai's arc next...although I'm really waiting for Ayu's story :-D |

| This episode made me sad. I didn't cry but I'm hurt. Poor Makoto |
| Did anyone else think, She's just a freaking fox? |
 |
| YAY the cats back! and so is Makoto?! i think she got tired of playing that game lol... omg and yay they did piratically everything she waned! and they even got married XD the picture was cute... i can't believe she talked again! and stayed alive through the second fever! anyway it was a great episode! |
 |
| My eyes got wet this episode. I was really effected by the scenes towards the end between Yuuichi and Makoto. |
 |
| I didn't really like Makoto, but I'm confused, what was with the seeing her at the end? |

gregory003 said: That's supposed to be Yuuichi's dream, for Makoto to be able to enjoy spring. It makes a little more sense in the game since the events aren't compressed to a few days. Makoto is never brought back, this is how her story ends since shortened lifespan is 1 of the requirements for a spirit fox's transformation into a human (the other one is forgetting all their memories from before the transformation).I didn't really like Makoto, but I'm confused, what was with the seeing her at the end? Amano was merely expressing what if's. Something people don't like about Kanon a bit is that it's pretty much one of the prototypes for Key's supernatural elements. All of the stories showcase a miraculous or supernatural event, and as Amano hints, the town itself seems to be full of small miracles. |

| This Episode brought my Deepest and saddest of emotions which I never expected to come out by an Anime.. watching Makoto trying to remember Yuuichi's name was the most tear-jerking moment... I Cried after that scene alone Yuu....yuu...icchh...chhiii.. Auuu:... |

| I saw it in this order. Air > Clannad > Kanon 2006 > Clannad AS. and I still love Kanon the most. God I love you Makoto. <3 ! |

| I cried so so much in this episode, I felt so sad for MAkoto but in the end I felt incredibly happy bcoz she got everything she wanted 10/10 |
| I'm so glad that Yuuichi made her wish come true. This was a sad episode, Makoto is so cute. ;w; |
| Why do I feel this emptiness in me? I actually prepared myself for this outcome and still, some tears escaped from my eyes. I think the producers were kind not to make this heart-shattering. |
 |
| I cried bitterly, wow. So sad. And I thought that I'd never really get into Kanon xD |
| It was a great episode. At the end of the episode, KEY made it again... They did the same thing they made at the end of Clannad After Story with Ushio. They show us a a sleeping body of the character which is supposed to be dead. Now that we can never make sure if she is actually dead or not (unless it is clarified at later episodes). This is a dirty way of ending a dramatic story. |
| Something got stuck in my mind. Why did Makoto's coat disappeared along with her body? At the time she disappeared, she was wearing the same clothes when she was first introduced in episode 2; except for the coat. If we assume that her original outfit was created along with her human body when she transformed from fox to human, however that blue coat was an 100% Earthly material; the coat must have stayed on Earth just like those bells did. This is definitely a logical mistake in the story. At least that coat should have stayed too, or her all clothes should have stayed all together. |
| I actually got kinda annoyed, watching this episode. I know how much Key likes to kill off it's characters in unique (not really unique when compared to other Key shows) ways. But this entire episode, to me, seemed like it was just Yuuichi with what seemed like a newborn infant in a teenager's body. I don't know if the Japanese dub is the same way, but in the English dub, every time Mokoto made that sound, I kinda wanted to throw something at my TV. It actually made her death (?) a little satisfying. Felt like it kinda ruined everything for me. |

THe dub is decent for the funny stuff but when it comes to the dramatics, I have to admit that the Original Japanese dub is far better at portraying that sort of emotion. I remember this episode well, it was the very first anime episode to ever make me cry and not just once. I cry every time I see it and I wasnt even too big a fan of Makoto compared to Ayu and Shiori but it's done in such a way that I can't help myself. To each their own I guess but that's just how it was to me anyway. You probably ruined the moment by watching it in dub first over how it was originally intended. |

| Key must have really learned their lesson after Kanon. It really bothers me how Yuiichi gets so attached to a secondary character; it's nothing like Clannad where Tomoya had his eyes set from day one. I liked Makoto, but these past episodes have been an absolute pain to watch. |

I liked Makoto, but these past episodes have been an absolute pain to watch. I know what you mean. If this is how the rest of the series is like, I'm not going to be enjoying it too much... jumping from girl to girl with such intense emotions involved. I hate harems so this is... yeah. It's too bad, because I much prefer Ayu to Nagisa but atm Yuuichi has pretty much forgotten about her, lmao... Still don't like Makoto, didn't shed a tear, etc. Not impressed so far. Also doesn't help that I'm so used to Key's shenanigans at this point... I can only take so much of the ~girl with a weird strange bullshitty illness~ stuff and I just couldn't help but think "...she's a fucking fox, dammit." |

| The scene where Makoto looks at Akiko and Akiko almost stutters "Have a safe trip" was so heartbreaking T_T |
