Plots(1)
Yuichi hasn't seen his cousin Nayuki in years. Now that he's back, all knowledge of ever visiting has vanished. He tries to adjust to the vaguely familiar surroundings, but the gaps in his memory haunt him as time grows short. The pieces of the puzzle have appeared - an eerily silent beauty with blazing tresses, the mysterious girl with the winged backpack, and the sword-wielding demon slayer - but it's up to Yuichi to discover how they fit together.

Kanon (2006)
I had avoided this anime series for a long time because I knew I had to prepare myself mentally. I still vividly remember how Clannad and Clannad: After Story got me, and I just knew this would be similar. Well, it was just as I expected, even though it still caught me off guard. Kanon introduced me to some of the coolest and cutest anime characters I have ever seen (Makoto, Ayu, Shiori, etc.), and they made me fall head over heels in love with them. They even added cute interjections to make them seem even more appealing. However, they then showed me that life is not a bed of roses and how much it can hurt, so I cried like a baby once again and let myself ride the waves of this show that was something incredible, emotional, cute, funny, and incredibly sad. Luckily, the end came, and exactly what I subconsciously wished for happened, and so I thought it was just perfect in the end. This anime series is just such a little miracle in itself, in my opinion. 10/10.
