Why do they attack Yuuichi - or do they? Is it intentional? Could Mai just want to be the hero that protects Yuuichi, protects Sayuri, that saves the day?"<BR/><BR/>what asuka said was correct but i think the demons tryed to contact yuuichi and this is y the demons tryed to attack him.....to try to help mai and to stop the endless fight between the hatred of mai's powers....also to find the answer to whats missing in yuuichi's mind seven years ago since he is the *key* into stopping all this.<BR/><BR/>my favourite character is all the kanon characters. every person in kanon had there happy times....and sad times too T_T<BR/>but it was great that it ended well :) <BR/><BR/>LOVED IT!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313763630040077753.post-61978081285964400972007-12-23T22:08:00.000-08:002007-12-23T22:08:00.000-08:00Funny, I actually rewatched episode 15 today befor...Funny, I actually rewatched episode 15 today before stumbling upon your entry. Indeed, Mai's story was the most well crafted (IMO), with the most psychological complexity. The telling of her past was incredibly well done; the confrontation between her and Yuuichi in the end sent goosebumps up my arms. Since I have nothing better to do right now, I shall attempt to answer the hypothetical questions you've posed with my own interpretation.<BR/><BR/><I>"Does Mai remember Yuuichi? Is she secretly hiding a grudge against the man who doesn't seem to remember the past, or is she honestly experiencing being cared about for the second time (Sayuri aside)?"</I><BR/><BR/>Mai did remember Yuuichi as a child, but didn't know that the older Yuuichi was the same person as the boy who left her 7 years ago. You can argue that subconsciously she might have known, but consciously she thought of the older Yuuichi as a different person, up until the point when Yuuichi confronted her.<BR/><BR/><I>"How long have the demons been around? Has Mai really been fighting all these years? Or is it something that's resurfaced with the reappearance of Yuuichi?"</I><BR/><BR/>I believe the demons/monsters started appearing right after Yuuichi's phone call telling Mai he's leaving. At the time, the demons were the demolition tractors that ate away the field they played in. Eventually they transformed and materialized from Mai's power, fuelled by Mai's self-hatred. Mai had probably been battling her own monsters all these years, but the intensity of the battles might have increased with Yuuichi's reappearance (Freud would have a lot to say about Mai's repressed memories lol).<BR/><BR/><I>"What 'control' does Mai have over her demons? Why do they attack Yuuichi - or do they? Is it intentional? Could Mai just want to be the hero that protects Yuuichi, protects Sayuri, that saves the day?"</I><BR/><BR/>The demons didn't just attack Yuuichi. They also attacked Sayuri and Mai herself. I don't see Mai's intention to be "protecting her friends and being the hero". Rather, the demons were a direct manifestation of her self-hatred, which appeared when she thought her powers were what drove Yuuichi away. Since then, she started literally attacking the side of her that she despised the most, all because of a simple misunderstanding that happened 7 years ago. Mai's story really puts a new twist on the phrase "Your biggest enemy is yourself".<BR/><BR/>(As you can probably tell, Mai is my favourite character in Kanon. She's got a little bit of all of us in her, which is why I care about her story so much. That and I love psychology~.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313763630040077753.post-19811925804929661582007-12-22T15:49:00.000-08:002007-12-22T15:49:00.000-08:00Lovely post.

I must say, though, that it isn't just males who love <I>Kanon</I>; some of us girls are big fans, too.<BR/><BR/><I>Could Mai just want to be the hero that protects Yuuichi, protects Sayuri, that saves the day?</I><BR/><BR/>Yeah, you said it was a hypothetical question, but I really feel you hit the nail on the head with this one, especially in relation to Sayuri. I've always felt that Mai wants to protect her as a way of showing thanks for Sayuri's friendship (that, and yuri love!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313763630040077753.post-43592548012969584772007-12-22T11:11:00.000-08:002007-12-22T11:11:00.000-08:00A passionately-written entry, serving to remind th...A passionately-written entry, serving to remind those of us who can take or leave (in my case, leave, leave, leave) <EM>Kanon</EM> and its ilk that there are good reasons for its popularity.<BR/><BR/>I prefer to call this sort of thing a 'fanboy paean', not a 'fanboy rant'.<BR/><BR/>And now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to watch something non-<EM>Kanon</EM>ical.Iknighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13464749031653061922noreply@blogger.com
