[edit] References to Suzumiya Haruhi, really ??

In the second episode there are a number of references to The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. The first is when Kaori comments on Yūichi's narration, referring to Kyon's narration. The second is when Yūichi says, "I'd like to see a non-normal introduction," referring to Haruhi's bizzare highschool introduction. Kyon and Yūichi are both voiced by Tomokazu Sugita.

I deleted this paragraph because those two scenes are actually from Kanon game, which is the original work that came out in 1999. It certainly means that those two scenes are not refering to The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya or whatever. I don't think Kyoto Animation casted Tomokazu just because he acted Kyon

Having only watched the anime and never played the game, I'd thought it was more than a really big coincidence as you point out. Magus Melchior 23:09, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Yūichi and Kyon also sit in the same place in class? I find it incredibly hard to believe it is a coincidence. But whatever. - Anon fan

Many many many anime/manga/video games in the past have given that seat to the main character. It's all over the place, so it's nothing special to just Haruhi or Kanon.--(十八|talk) 04:06, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

It could be argued that Suzumiya Haruhi is referencing Kanon and not the other way around. I don't think it is provable. --Squilibob 06:59, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

To say that Nagaru Tanigawa was influenced by Kanon when writing the first volume is way out there; it's just an odd coincidence.--(十八|talk) 07:07, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Separate articles for each episode

Would anybody be interested in doing this? I myself am willing to do a few episodes. 220.235.106.83 05:55, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

What you are suggesting is quite the momumental task. Saying that you'd only be willing to do a few episodes when there are 38 episodes in total doesn't make sense. If you were to do it for the 2006 version, you'd also have to do it for the 2002 series and 2003 OVA to be consistent, and then there's the thing about creating a navigation template, an infobox template, and not to mention another 38 articles added to the Kanon series on Wikipedia. I would have to say that if anyone was going to be able to do it, I'd probably be a good choice, but right now I am unwilling (and simply don't have the time) to do something of this scale. Perhaps in the summer when I have more time and can donate more time to something like this.

All I'm saying is that if you are willing to get into a project of this size, you should also be willing to see it to its completion.--十八 06:21, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Well, as a series can occasionally do to me, I reached the end and immediately wanted to start watching it again from the beginning. If this takes me I could would be interested in contributing a little now that the final episode has aired. J-Kama-Ka-C 00:29, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

As as I said to the anon above, you cannot contribute a "little" to a project of this size. If you do, then the articles will just get deteled some day down the road. The same thing happened to Air last summer when a user attempted to start individual episode guides but only got halfway through and quit; the articles were later deleted. So I'm telling you, if you are not willing to do all 38 episodes, forget about it right now.--十八 04:22, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

the RahXephon media page was a featured list, however the episode summary pages linked off this are little more than those same two line synopses, perhaps they should all go. My point is they're not going to develop as true pages unless there's a starting point like their current state. Doing the same thing for Kanon is a minor job, which can then be built upon by the community, rather than whatever happened to Air. This "suggestion/talk:" seems to be the best way to get the ball rolling if this is to ever properly happen.

Not to be stepping on toes, but I feel it's not a case of, improve one episode description: must therefore improve all the episodes, linked off that page, included those of a different show that aired 5 years ago. If that was so, then why does the logic stop there? why not insist that person complete all of "Full Metal Panic! Second Raid" because they had the same production studio as Kanon (2006) - oh but then they'd have to complete the FMP original series too, suddenly we've splashed out across three different animation studios. I know I'm being absurd, sorry. J-Kama-Ka-C 18:20, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Look, all I'm saying is to not make the same mistake with what happened with Air. That anime was only 15 episodes in length (13 main, plus 2 of Air in Summer; this one is 38! If that one couldn't even get halfway done, how do you even possibly think Kanon's episodes guides would be any better?! And I don't think I'm being absurd to ask for all 38 episodes to be given pages if you were going to do it. It would be the consistent thing to do, and if you're putting more focus on the new anime just because it's newer, then why even bother. It wouldn't make sense to only do it for Kanon 2006; you have to think of how it would look for Wikipedia only to focus on the newer stuff.--十八 21:19, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

I do agree, Air was a half season long compared to K'06, and then there's the 2002 run, so it will be quite a task to start, but regards a focus on newer stuff, it was always my belief that notable information gets articles. It's much easier for new stuff to be currently notable. However I am a sucker for consistency when it all boils down, so I think you've got me there J-Kama-Ka-C 10:26, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
