Re: What girl should have Yuuichi picked.

I think he made the right choice myself, but only because had he chosen who I would have, it would have been weird. tongue

Ayu was adorable with her 'uguu' noises, and was definitely sweet. If it weren't for his relation to her though, I'd say he should have went for Nayuki, as she was adorably ditzy, and they had a lot in common.

Re: What girl should have Yuuichi picked.

Now see I have huge hangup with him picking Ayu. Ayu just does not have the maturity to fufill the need of a HS Senior. I can see her as a little sister in the same form as Nayuki but in the realm of having Ayu as a gf is kindoff sick.

He should have gone with Nayuki. She was my least favourite, so that leaves Ayu, Mai and Shiori free for my harem smile

Re: What girl should have Yuuichi picked.

I've always thought Shiori and Yuuichi clicked the best. Out of all his relationships that one seemed the most normal for HS teenagers. Mai would be the second pick but I think she has always had a different lover.

Re: What girl should have Yuuichi picked.

I was hoping for Mai.

Seems the childhood friend is almost never chosen.

I don't think Yuichi and Ayu actually end up together. Keep in mind that the part of the series where they are romantically involved isn't actually her, just an illusion of her. Although maybe the fact that he imagined that means she was his choice. idk

I would hope for Mai too followed by Nayuki even if they were cousins. nervous

As to the comment about Nayuki being least favorite she also didn't get her own arc in the story line so it kinda makes sense to be least favorite since we knew the least about her maybe?

Re: What girl should have Yuuichi picked.

Personally I think Yuichi made the right choice. They'd both cared about each other for a very long time and their feelings were still there. Frankly, any love strong enough to work miracles strikes me as pretty worthy. I can agree though that Ayu isn't the most mature character in the series but then

Spoiler: Highlight to view
the Ayu we meet was a psychic projection or astral projection that hadn't interacted with anyone in years. I think she grew less childish as the series went on and personally I expect the rehab alone to help her deal with her atrophied muscles from being in a bed for all those years will likely mature her EXTREMELY fast. Plus Yuichi won't be a high school student forever. Real love is worth a lot more than hormonal needs.

Nayuki is a great young lady, on her way to being just like her mother, but it's pretty obvious Yuichi never had particularly strong feelings for her, at least with the anime. She's too much like family.

Makoto and he had some great tension and chemistry given they both had such warped senses of humor but her

puts a bit of an odd twist on a relationship.

Shiori might be my personal favorite and she and Yuichi could have made a great couple too. I think she'd be my second choice for Yuichi but I still think he made the right choice in the series.

Sayuri is sneezing somewhere.

Maybe my Yuri goggles are turned up to 11 but Mai and Sayuri in my mind are way too perfect together for it to stay just a platonic friendship. Mai had that strong best friend vibe or cool older sister thing going with Yuichi in my opinion rather than a romance. The dance scene was wonderful and a bit shipy but Mai's strongest emotions seemed to center on Sayuri.

Spoiler: Highlight to view
I interpreted her attempt as suicide to be an attempt to atone for nearly killing Sayuri with her powers. Plus she'd already given up on him when he didn't come to help her "fight the demons."

Long post short: Yuichi made the right choice for him.

Although TIL Nobu's suggestion would have been. . . interesting.

Re: What girl should have Yuuichi picked.

Personally I think Yuichi and Shiroi should have been put together. If not her then Either Mai or Nayuki. I feel they should have just left Ayu as a spirt that was able to come back to help Yuichi get his memoires back and help the other gilrs. But Shiori is my #1 pick for him and my personal fav. cool

Re: What girl should have Yuuichi picked.

I think that Yuuichi made the right choice; it's much more romantic than the other options. Ayu was in a coma for seven years always dreaming of Yuuichi, so much that her dreams became real in a sense. At first I kinda wasn't too happy with him picking Ayu, but watching until the end really changed my mind and broke my heart. (I was a Shiori supporter until the series finished) You could argue that she was a kid but in reality she was the same age as him, anyways it's way better than the incest supporters here think the show should have been. Kanon was a truly moving anime and will always be in my top favorite along side Clannad, Air, and Nana.
