Kanon 2002 is a very interesting adaptation. Coming out only 3 years after the original visual novel. Toei Animation made their attempt at an adaptation. However due to the 13 episode runtime. Trying to adapt a ~40 hour visual novel has it's obvious issues. The pacing is extremely quick. Overall the series comes off more as a extended summary of the story than an actual adaptation. It is clear an attempt was at least made. The art in this version is rather... odd. There was a clear attempt at trying to mimic the style of the original visual novel, but it really did not work ... out. The 2006 series is by far the better adaptation, but I would still recommend watching things if you are a fan of the series. I overall thought it was a rather unique experience.
