*Mai says thankyou* I take a sip of my water.
*Mai friggin’ commits suicide* I spitout all the water I just drank at that exact moment, I understood the action in the end but at the time I was all “What the F***??” I expected something to happen but not that!

But seriously, the whole Mai and Sayuri thing, it has bizzare take on me. Mai and Sayuri love each other right?
Now I’m looking at myself from an outside perspective, I realize that at any other time I’d have atleast one stray dirty thought there. But I didn’t?

Probably because its so serious.

Oh, and the whole “zoo” thing was awesome.

One last thing, the episode preview shows that the show really moves on to new things, I know it must be done as there are other characters but… it doesn’t seem like we’ll ever see Mai and Sayuri again next episode or even a glance, or even… ever again?

They don’t even try. According to most players I’ve asked, Key’s sex scenes are haphazardly tacked on (and are terribly written even by eroge standards) in order to satisfy market demands. In Japan, there’s little demand for interactive novels outside the adult game market

In the “All Ages” version of Kanon, all sexual encounters were deleted except for the single situation that actually fits in place.

When creating Clannad, Key made the game they wanted (all ages rating, no tacked on sexual encounters that come out of the blue), but naturally, many eroge consumers were disappointed.
