First let me start of by saying that I saw this anime after the 2006 remake. Ahh Kanon, you either love it or hate it. Based off of Keys visual novel of the same name, it really delivers and emotional punch in this 13 episode series. I found this series based off of the fact that I found Clannad and Clannad After Story so amazing. Story: 8 The story I said was very good and has a decent mix of supernatural/slice of life/harem elements. This version of the anime tries to be funny a lot less than the 2006 remake, but that is expected to bethe case due to its nearly half of Kanon 2006's length. This anime will make you cry no matter what. The plot is much more to the point than Kanon 2006 and thats why I like it so much. Its a quick emotional roller coaster.

Art: 7
Keep in mind this anime was done in 2002 and is not even full screen, I wont fault it for that but don't look for hd stunning art. The art in this anime was done by a different studio than Kanon 2006. I like this shows art style because it unique, almost a little faded made me instantly like it more than the '06 remake, which was done in 16:9 and is much more fluid and smooth.

Sound: 8
The voice actors did a great job on Kanon, they are the same for the most part in Kanon '06. The intro on Kanon however is much more interesting and has a much better song in my opinion that fits the show great

Characters: 9
I gave characters a 9 well because you can't not like each character. Not one character is the worst/best. I found myself rooting for all of them because it was so hard to make a choice on a favorite. Just believe me the story and the characters mix so well it will make you wonder..... wait what?

Enjoyment: 7
You just went "what?" "only a 7?" "you said all those good things?" I know but I saw this anime right after I saw the '06 version. I felt like I knew all of what was going on, so nothing really stood out to me. It is really good but I would space it out if you have seen the '06 version.

Overall: 8
I will call it an 8 because it is such a good series I feel like giving it or is remake anything less than that would be misleading. Its a good watch and a decent re-watch....
