Kanon (2006)

[shinta|hikari]

Ah, you were referring to the demon extermination thing. It was a bit vague so I though you were referring to the actual suicide. I agree on that point, that was indeed a superb factor of Mai's arc.

Kraco - that was the scene I refered to, and there Mai chose to end her life to solve the problem, the easy way as you said.

Im not saying Mai's arc was not amazing. Mai is my favorite character, and her arc is probably my favorite so far as well. But the resurrection kind of downed it for me. I consider Shiori's arc the best arc for what I believe to be an objective sense of judgement on my part. Best is of course not equal to favorite, at least for me.

EDIT: just thought I should be clear on this. my criteria for judging is actually based more on the delivery, rather than the story itself, since I have watched the previous Kanon and know most of the story. What impresses me about Kanon2000 is its amazing way of telling the story, and of course the impressive lines and interactions of the characters. If I include the story itself as part of the criteria, then no doubt Mai has the best arc so far, and probably til the end.
