The Future is Not Written in Stone

Kanon, Friday, April 30, 2010

Random sidenote, driving was less than ideal today. I hate dangerous motorcyclists and i generally hate my impatience in short.

Back to main topic, just finished Kanon. Short summary it's about a guy and his 4 relationships with 4 girls ( now that I think about it it's like seasons). Okay it's not the hentai kind of relationships and most of them aren't romantically related.

***Attempted to make a short synopsis of each but found it difficult and abandoned task.

Anyway, on the finale, theres this short segment where Ayu, (i like ayu, shes kawaii and poetic hohoho) recites a nice poetic excerpt.

I loved the scenery that flew by.

Winter.

A city of snow.

I loved running through the shopping district, leaving behind footprints.

Spring.

A city of melting snow.

I loved picking up the snow piled beside the roots of trees.

Summer.

The city has forgotten how cold the snow was.

I loved looking at the city through the cracks on the umbrella.

Autumn.

The city waiting for snow to fall.

I loved catching the small snowflakes with my hands.

And it's back to winter.

The season of snow.

The season when the entire city is white.

I loved the scenery that flew by.

But,

like a puddle that freezes, my time has frozen.

Inside this square room, where there is no change in seasons.

I was always alone...

while repeatedly seeing the same scenes in my dream...

while viewing the endless night...

But,

slowly, light was starting to shine into the night.

NICE RIGHT. (although now that i've read it in english it doesn't sound half as nice. ahhh jap so nice)

dammit, i hate to watch romance shows and read romance novels. it fills me with false grandeur illusions.
