Kanon 2006 from BS-i is a Japanese anime television series that aired from 2006 to 2007. It is based on the visual novel game Kanon developed by Key. The series is a romantic drama that follows the life of Yuichi Aizawa, a high school student who returns to his hometown after seven years. Yuichi is a mysterious and introverted character who has a difficult time reconnecting with his family and childhood friends. However, he soon discovers a group of girls with whom he shares a special bond.

The story begins with Yuichi's arrival in the snowy town of Kazamatsuri. His first encounter is with a girl named Ayu Tsukimiya, who quickly befriends him. Ayu is a small girl who wears a distinctive red scarf and has a sweet and playful personality. She soon reveals that she is searching for her lost memories and enlists Yuichi's help in her quest. As the story progresses, more mysterious girls enter Yuichi's life, including his cousin Nayuki Minase, a shy and reserved girl with a love for sweets; Shiori Misaka, a sickly girl who is often absent from school; Mai Kawasumi, a strong and capable fighter with a tragic past; and Makoto Sawatari, a mischievous girl who claims to be a fox.

The series follows Yuichi's interactions with each of these girls and the various events that unfold as their stories are revealed. The themes of memory, loss, and regret are central to the show, as each girl has a tragic backstory that affects her current life. Through their interactions with Yuichi, the girls learn to confront their past and find happiness in the present. Yuichi, too, is forced to confront his own past and learn to move forward.

One of the most distinctive aspects of Kanon 2006 is its nostalgic and melancholic atmosphere. The snowy town of Kazamatsuri is beautifully rendered, with its quiet streets and quaint buildings. The show uses light and color to create a dreamlike atmosphere, capturing the feeling of a childhood memory. The characters themselves are also well-designed, with distinctive features and personalities that make them easy to identify.

The animation in Kanon 2006 is impressive, with smooth and fluid movements that bring the characters to life. The soundtrack is also noteworthy, with beautiful orchestral themes and vocal performances that enhance the emotional impact of the series. The opening theme, "Last Regrets" by Ayana, sets the tone for the show with its haunting melody and evocative lyrics.

Overall, Kanon 2006 is a beautiful and emotional series that explores the themes of love, loss, and memory. Its cast of endearing and memorable characters, along with its exquisite animation and soundtrack, make it a must-watch for fans of the romance and drama genres.
