Changing schools is something Yuuchi is accustomed to, due to his parent's profession, and with their recent venture to Africa, he is returning to his aunt's home after 7 years. The time that has passed since his last visit has faded his memories of the people he knew, and the ties that bonded them to him, including his cousin Nayuki. Slowly those people, coincidently all being girls, find their way back to him. However, time has passed and things have happened in their own lives that sets the tone for the series. Secrets that are coming to surface, and memories that are returning to not only Yuuichi, but to those surrounding him. A very heartwarming tale that touches upon a spectrum of emotions, mystery, and the supernatural.

Where it came from
Kanon was released in 2002 by Toei Animation as a 13-episode television series based on the visual novel developed by Key. The project emerged during a period of significant interest in adapting narrative-heavy visual novels into anime, aiming to capture the emotional, melancholic tone of the source material. Produced during the early transition era of digital animation, it represents a notable early attempt to translate the specific aesthetic sensibilities of Key's writing for a broader broadcast audience.
The character designs were overseen by the production team at Toei, who sought to adapt the distinctive, large-eyed aesthetic of the original illustrator, Itaru Hinoue, to a screen-ready format. Upon its release, the series received a mixed reception from fans of the visual novel, many of whom felt the pacing and tone differed from the source material. Despite the critiques of its adaptation choices, it remains a significant artifact of the early 2000s anime landscape and the burgeoning popularity of the 'nakige' or 'crying game' genre.
