I've heard from others it's quite similar to Narcissu...

While KgNE is doing much better in terms of replay value - it feels... rather short sighted in comparison to the amount of character development and variety/depth of story in something like Kanon or Clannad.

I care next to nothing about replay value, because according to me, it's never worth it watching something again. But I were to compare replay value, I'll say all the story shows will get donkey raped by the action/comedy/any other non heavily story based shows, and all the visually average shows will get donkey raped by all the visually outstanding shows... So story shows like KgNE, AIR and Kanon with average graphics would be the stuff I least want to re-watch.

It's a while since I watched KgNE, so I can't really remember clearly, but I remember it having good development. From what I do remember, it's very realistic, has a very well rounded story with pretty much no flaws, and creates and captures the mood extremely well, from the start all the way to the end.

Elaborate more on this "amount of character development and variety/depth of story" you see in AIR / Kanon...
