A great episode! KyoAni just keeps delivering! The basketball match was very well animated, it looked realistically fluid, and I thought the music was very fitting. Kyou rocked (throwing dictionaries really gave her great aim hahaha!), Sunohara pulled some good moves, and Tomoya had the opportunity to make the winning throw even with his limited capability. I also liked his psychological introspection near the end, looks like he had an epiphany. The next episode is looking great!

Other honorable mentions got to the Kyou/Tomoyo scene (Kyou blushing = win), Tomoya noticing Ryou blush and UNDERSTANDING what it meant, and one of the most comic situations yet:



5/5 ^^

Is it just me, or does Mei-chan look like she could be Nagisa and Tomoya's kid? XDDD I mean, she has Tomoya's hair color and Nagisa's eyes.

But anyway. Great episode as usual.
Nice to see the harem aspect of this actually picking up! ;D

I was expecting someone to say she was Tomoya's kid sister or something. Such a lost opportunity. I do wonder how can Sunohara have a blue-haired sister.

Not a bad episode but I was hoping for more Sunohara development like in the last one, especially with his sister coming and all, but he was just playing the comic relief role again and Mei barely appeared in more than 4 scenes. Also, we finally got to see more Tomoyo! YAAAY! But Kyou stoled Tomoya away! BOOO!
Maybe I'm stupid, but I never realised Clannad was a harem anime until now. I mean, I know there was a single male lead with lots of high school girls but I never really thought too much about that because of the drama. I guess this episode opened my (closed) eyes to this revelation. Harem anime tend to annoy me...

Really a great episode, can't wait for the next episode..

off topic:
@AngelLily: is ef really a harem anime? As i remeber it, it's one love triangle story and one other story. Didn't seem like a harem anime to me at all...

Anyway..back on topic
I really wonder how the Kyou/Ryou arc is going to be, since it's iontertwined with tomoyo's arc, especially since both of the twins seem to like him. I wonder if Ryou knows that Kyou likes okazaki?

Good point. My mind just went Eroge = Harem for a second. But I actually don't like harem anime save for a few exceptions.

The only thing that bugs me about this show is how they take like 5 minutes of every episode for the characters to introduce themselves to each other. It get's annoying.

So, we are to assume they telephatically know who the other is then. As far as I know those scenes don't have a forced feeling to them, plus sometimes they have the added bonus of comedy attached to them.

Clannad has a big cast. So it's understandable that they only take small time introducing characters.

Well, either way, it was an awesome funny episode!

better late than never..

anyways, this episode was pretty good.
best part of the episode goes to kyou blushing. tomoyo did a nice job.
also, its good to see that tomoya actually understands where Ryou is standing right now. she made it pretty obvious, so i guess he should understand.
i lol'd when tomoyo accidentally counter-attacked sunohara. reaction time FTW

besides the comic relief. the basketball match was pretty good. and kyou-sama deserves a lot more screentime. she reminds me of kagami most of the time.
tomoyo also deserves more screentime, but i still have hopes that she will get it.

now, if they could only cut off nagisa's arc, and separate kyou's and tomoyo's and end the anime with either of those... now that would be a dream... but since we all know tha dreams are dreams because they can't be accomplished... i can only dream. ~DREAM...cough* too off topic...

Kyou is basically a non-chibified version of Kagami. And why all the Nagisa hate? If we didn't have nagisa we wouldn't have her parents. And her parents are awesome.

sadly this anime is still all about the supporting cast after 16 eps and i feel no real affection for the leads. But with that aside this episode was great and honestly I wish all the episodes would maintain this fun kind of pacing. I know thats unlikely but I still wish it could happen.

its not really nagisa hate... its more like... affection towards every female lead except her.

i just dont really like her personality.... and i like tsunderes better :)

The first half of this episode was okay, not too special, but it was good for some laughs :]. I realy liked the basketball game though. Eventhough the shot that Tomoya made was a bit cliche I still liked it because it showed that he is trying so hard to help Nagisa. What will happen next, I wonder...

Ditto with that. Sanae is still my favorite girl of the entire cast, behind Kotomi.

A lot better than the previous episode. Laughed a lot more, and the end of the match was indeed interesting. It was predictable, but it's nice to see that Tomoya is starting to realize how much his life has changed thanks to Nagisa.

It was a good basketball game. Although it started to drift to the younger sister and also having fun more than the theader club.

I'm feeling like the theader club wont ever come about but its just a plot to keep things rolling along. I could be anything but they made it into a theader club.

Amazing episode. The first half was down right hilarious with Tomoyo and Kyou, and of course Nagisa's parents. The basketball match was very nice as well, loved the B/W scene with Nagisa shaking Tomoya out of it.

.

I agree!!! i Loled so hard seriously :D
But Omg... This is lame again... Tomoyo Likes Okazaki-Nagisa likes Okazaki-Ryou and probably her sister too likes okazaki-Kotomo likes Okazaki.Damn its a bit lame... How can all the gilrs like him? Anyways another nice ep i hope the keep it up... I allready started to wonder what im gonna watch When Clannad and Sns ends...


Never really got the feeling that Kotomi or Tomoyo likes him. The other three, yeah.
But, interested doesn't mean "like" and I think the former consider him more as a friend.

Maybe an unpopular opinion on the thread but I didn't like the basketball thing too much. Wasn't intense or anything but I still 5/5ed the episode.

Kyou and Tomoyo interactions are the best interactions.

And oh Akio and your lies about ... Nagisa's butt scars. That was so incredibly awkward and hilarious
