I want to note my thoughts on Kanon as I read through each ending as I think a little reflection is good every once and awhile. Keep in mind though, I am new to the median, so I maybe have differing views than somebody with experience.

The first route I took was Nayukis. In the end I did feel pretty satisfied with this ending in terms of how Nayuki plays out as a character and seeing into the memories Yuichi has of her and how they affect his view of her in the end. Although I think it felt a little rushed near the end, a lot of the early game is spent doing menial tasks and slowly learning the characters we are surrounded by. But in the last 10 or so days, I think the pace was a little too fast. Especially Akiko's hospitalisation. I would have really liked to have had some more scenes of Nayuki learning about the accident, and the menial around the house tasks and school that Yuichi experiences afterwards. I think this would have shown how lonely the world had become without Akiko or Nayuki around.
