QOTD: What's an anime, manga, figure or other fand QOTD: What's an anime, manga, figure or other fandom treasure you found at a great price, whether that means it was an incredible deal or just an great deal to you?

Just a quick history lesson on Kanon. The VN for this series, which is what Konoha is holding in these caps, was the first one released by Key. You know Key—their VNs and anime include Clannad, Little Busters, and Rewrite. The company would become so popular that it impacted the entire direction of VNs and anime. In the 2000s and into the early '10s, so much of what we consumed was flavored by the moe art in these products.

I've never played Kanon (it's an adult VN), but I have watched the series. It's among my very very favorite anime, and while it isn't as deep, involving, or emotional as some of their other series, it has a warmth to it that's pretty unmatched and was just so perfectly 2006. The dub and sub are both incredible. And Ayu...well, she's a top-five favorite character of all time for me. 

Uguu!

[twwk] Introducing Stark! Ahhh...even a transitional, fairly unremarkable episode of Frieren, like this one, brings me to the edge of tears. I'm so glad this adaptation is capturing the feelings of the manga so well!
