Honestly, I don't know where to start. For one thing, as an actual musician, I don't need to transcribe pieces to detect how complex they are. Even with just one listen I can detect things like modal melodies, chord progressions, etc. You should be able to do this too.

Minimalism, for the most part, is characterized by pieces that have simple harmonic structure (like say, simple melody with basic triads arpeggiated in the bass) and simple progression with only a few types of chords in one key. Kanno is the exact opposite of this and, being one who enjoys emulating impressionistic and jazz styles, is about as harmonically complex as it gets when it comes to soundtrack music. Many Japanese composers cite Debussy and Ravel, but she's the only one that goes out of her way to imitate them. For example, listen to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jQhbhVy-28, and you distinctly hear the influence from Ravel's string quartet in F. This is one minute and thirty seconds, yet goes more places than most music you probably listen to by using a large set of chords of different type and quality and complex harmonic structure. Complexity isn't a matter of tempo changes, key changes, and a "billion notes", even if these things contribute. Complexity of a piece is determined by it's ability to go many different places in its progression, while remaining within the confines of tonality and meter. Until such a thing is realized, the difference between the great romantic composers and say, Dragonforce, will be completely foreign to you. Or if you think this emulation is too direct to demonstrate Kanno's ability, listen to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qnZwoI4ajo.. To anyone who actually knows anything about music, the difference between these and minimalist style of composing is so devastating that it's physically painful. I don't even know why I typed this when it was so goddam obvious.

Same could be said of anything that is Japanese, including Touhou.

No. Show's good, but it's not even the best this season, let alone the last few seasons.

Quit acting like fanon is canon. No one wants the same thing that happened to Alice to happen to anyone else.
