God, I miss Nagi-sama already.

Wow, I can’t believe that Kannagi has ended so soon. Well, maybe I can since I haven’t been blogging like I should, but it’s time to clenese myself and give Kannagi the send off it deserves. In this case, the following espiodes that send us off into a torrent of laughs, cries, and a somber farewell to anime that deserves no less than what it is worth.

The 8th ep is a little to less of Jin pondering on Nagi, and who she really is which comes back to bit him in later espiodes and a main plot device. Through in a bewilder Daitetsu and voila, we have a simple and humours epsiode that has no apparent effect, yet. The 9th is a also funny, Tsugumi slips off at the mouth and pegs Jin relationship with Daitetsu to one of homosexual. The only way to repair that wall, Tsugumi and Zange posses as his girlfriend, which doesn’t do any good, but hey, Zange X Tsugumi on the arm and fedding you isn’t a bad thing, is it?

The 10th is the karkore famed episode. Jin and company head to a karaoke bar and everyone gets a chance to sing. Tsugumi seems to try to make advances toward Jin, but fail in doing so, first losing out to Zange and then to Daitestu. Poor Tsugumi. On the other hand,  the songs and singing wasn”t that bad from everyone, espically Tarako, which everyone seemed to find creepy, but she had the goods. I never been so turned on in my life…*cough* there is also a Lucky Star Cameo. God, I can’t over how HOT Tarako is…

The last three epsiodes focuses on the main overhead of Nagi and her identity. Frustrated by the unwanted attention due to Nagi, they have small spat, causing Nagi to go off. This insights Jin to do a little investigation on his own to uncover what she is. Talking with Suzushiro (Harkua/Zange’s father) he thinks she maybe nothing more than a lesser god, dipping into a lesson of Japanese X Mythology.  The next day, Daitestu alerts Jin that Nagi is missing and Jin spends time to search for her and in a depressed state relaizes he cares for her. Tsugumi tries to comfort Jin, but it anger him instead.

The Last EP, Tsugumi finally relaizes that she can help Jin and verbal gives him a once over to look for her, since it something that he can do. With support of a network information, Jin finds Nagi and confronting her, saying he wasn’t upset she lied and knows they can find her memories. At this time, Shige shows up, the old woman, Jin meet before in last epsiode, but been reborn by Nagi, supposedly. After those seen, Jin and Nagi return home where message from friends wait. Nagi takes a shower and forgets he clothes and Jin runs into her, falling over her body. Tsugumi comes in the wrong time, stun (funny) and runs out with tears in her eyes in humors way and the last scene Jin gets hit by Nagi and the credits play with more scenes.

At face value, the pacing and elements of Kannagi wasn’t a disappointment. I found it even to be more enjoyable than anything I watched in the Fall 2008 line up. Hopefully, once the DVD and CD makes landfall, they will make an OVA or two or even a second season since a lot of things were left unsaid and done. Kannagi staff and the author worked really hard on this series and they deserve a little R&R and respect for this series. I hope to see Nagi-sama again, until then, Farewell Nagi-sama.
