Keeping my inner fanboy in cheque.
The most difficult thing i’ve had to do since i got back from Sakuracon was keep my inner fanboy in cheque. Way back in January of last year, after watching Kyoto Animation’s AIR tv series (and fanboying over it) i wrote about how i felt it compared to the Kanon TV series by Toei Animation. I also expressed this wistful thought:
“All in all, i am very happy with the anime version of AIR. I just wish they had taken this approach with Kanon.”
When i got back from Seattle and reentered Canadian Borders (everytime, I feel a sigh of relief. Even the air tastes better), i found out to my inner fanboy’s total delight that this implied wish that KyoAnime might someday do the same wonderful job with Kanon has come true. It has been officially announced that Kyoto Animation will be doing its own version of the Kanon series. Even better, i’ve read that they are planning 24 episodes! Maybe now Nayuki will get the attention she deserves (she got *shafted* in the Toei version, IMHO). There is a tiny little promo you can watch (you can download it at AnimeSuki.com), and from the look of it, the visuals are making me very happy indeed. 
Yay! 
(happy happy)
Yeah, yeah, i know. I’m sure you are sick of reading about Kanon and Air related stuffs on this website. In fact, i can hear the groans already as you look for a year full of Kanon anime fanboy gushing. Well tough shit. Keep your toque on.
