Series synopsis
Kanon, also known as カノン is a Japanese animation comedy drama television series that premiered on TBS on October 6, 2006. It ended on March 16, 2007. It stars Tomokazu Sugita, Yui Horie, Mariko Kouda and Yukari Tamura.
Yuichi hasn’t seen his cousin Nayuki in years. Now that he’s back, all knowledge of ever visiting has vanished. He tries to adjust to the vaguely familiar surroundings, but the gaps in his memory haunt him as time grows short. The pieces of the puzzle have appeared – an eerily silent beauty with blazing tresses, the mysterious girl with the winged backpack, and the sword-wielding demon slayer – but it’s up to Yuichi to discover how they fit together.
