We’re rallying the Kazamatsuri community once more to join together to read, discuss and celebate the Kanon visual novel for our Kanon Bookclub! Here’s a brief introduction for those of you new to our Bookclubs.
The Kanon Bookclub is a community-wide event which will take place over approximately 6 weeks. Forum members are invited to purchase the game (Standard Edition, Memorial Edition) and read through the game in their own time over the course of the Bookclub, sharing their thoughts on each route in their respective forum topics as they read, and contributing Fanworks to celebrate Kanon if they wish.
A select few members of the community will join together at the end of each week to discuss one of the routes after another, for a total of five podcasts. Forum members are urged to ensure they share their thoughts on each route before it comes up on the Podcast, and encouraged to post questions and topics for the podcast to address in bolded statements. The podcast schedule is as follows.
- 16 May - Bookclub Officially Commences (You can start reading before this date!)
- Extra week to read through Common Route
- 27 May - Nayuki Route Podcast
- 3 June - Makoto Route Podcast
- 10 June - Mai Route Podcast
- 17 June - Shiori Route Podcast
- 24 June - Ayu Route Podcast
If possible, I hope to produce a Kanon Bookclub Anthology video at the conclusion of the Bookclub to showcase Fanworks produced, and offer some of our community the opportunity to reflect on what Kanon as a whole means to them. This will depend on whether or not we get lots of Fanworks though, so don’t be shy, get creative! Who knows, you might even win some prizes for your contributions to the Bookclub!
You may use this topic to ask questions and offer feedback about the Kanon Bookclub. I look forward to reading through Kanon together with you all!
