Don't know why, but this is the first time Clannad brought tears to my eyes after Fuuko's arc, back in the first season.
Awesome episode ;-;

This episode was absoubly heartbreaking and sweet. I cried so hard when Ushio was in Tomoya's arms and when he was was describing Nagisa. I couldn't hold back. It is impossible to. Best episode from an anime that I have EVER seen!

damn i had teary eyes here but i had 3 tears drop before on another episode. the reason might be that i am re-watching so i knew what would happen but the story is really good and still touching.

I started tearing up @ episode 16 until Tomoya makes up with his dad in episode 19. Then I teared up again during the montage in the first half of episode 22.. great series.

Being a little overgenerous to Tomoya's dad, I thought. Maybe we can appreciate that he tried his hardest, but calling him "great" is a bit much.

Was Sanae forbidding Ushio from crying unless she was in the bathroom or hugging Tomoya supposed to be part of her plot to get Tomoya to reconcile with being a father? That was a bit risky, wasn't it? What if it didn't work? Ushio would end up pretty repressed.

I'm also a little surprised at where the series stands at the end of this one. Doesn't everything seem settled? What could the remaining episodes be about?


I also didn't understand the method to her madness. I too think it was a bit risky to tell a 5 year not to cry or cry in private. Children need to be comforted when they are young, it's healthy and dismissive to make a child cry by themselves.So I am a irritate with Sanae. Too bad it wasn't explained further.

But other than that I am very happy with this episode.

10/

Edit: I rescind my comment about Sanae after watching episode 19. Her scene was really heartbreaking.

This episode definitely delivered the goods for me... About halfway through the series I was thinking "I'd really like to know more about Tomoya's father, surely he isn't that bad?!"

> Watch episode 18
> Listen to the Grandmother's recollection

Sorted. And of course, the scene with Tomoya and Ushio.. Devastating, really.

Clannad's always been called a GOAT anime and after finishing the first season i couldn't understand why. People told me that AS is much better but even after a dozen episodes it wasn't near GOAT status, good, but not the greatest of all time. The last five episodes have changed that for me. I have never shed a tear watching any anime but i can't say that anymore after watching this episode.

Watching his dad's past and now Tomoya can relate to him since he's in the same situation, was heart wrenching. Then came the scene where Ushio asks is she can cry in her dad's arms and then Tomoya remembered Nagisa, i just couldn't hold the my tears in.

Will start the next episode once my eyes dry up :(:

Holy Fuck first time any anime had me close to tears. But i didn't cry or wasn't about too, just close so pretty averagely off. I could feel it about to happen in two parts: The part where Ushio broke down in the field and the part where Tomoya finally let go of his emotions by remembering Nagisa and showing the flashbacks because it's been five years. Great ep. Looks like my prediction was right; however, i didn't suspect Tomoya's dad was in the same position as him. Now he finally has something to live for. Rating went up, slightly. 8.5/10.

The entire second half left me in tears. ToT

By far, the best episode in the series and the first episode to score a 5/5 from me so far. Almost cried, but the episode ended... However, I finally do understand why peoples' lives are changed after watching this show. It portrays an interesting, yet realistic situation. Looking at a solid 7 (could have been 8 without the filler in the beginning)

Tbh, I wouldn't have any complains even if this is the final episode. It is just so epic that even sweat is coming out from my eyes.

My favourite episode of Clannad so far. I cried basically the whole episode. Hearing about how Tomoya's father tried so hard for him and then Tomoya and Ushio crying together, and then when Tomoya told Ushio about Nagisa - all of it was so perfectly done.

Yep, me too.
Beautiful episode. I had a feeling ever since the beginning that something like that was up with Tomoya's dad. It's nice to see Tomoya being a father to Ushio. I can't wait till the next episode! I love you Clannad!

Cute scene with both of them crying. But I really can't stand the seiyuu voicing Ushio. I don't know, maybe it's because a several year old girl is voiced by a 42-year-old? Sure, Tomoya said something about her being boyish or sth but my mind doesn't agree with a little girl's kawaii image and a boyish voice.

I'm so glad Tomoya's grandmother opened his eyes and made him realize what a great man his father was. They're so much alike.

I cried during the scene with Ushio and Tomoya in the field. "Sanae said I can only cry in the bathroom...and daddy's arms." OMGosh, I couldn't hold it! I'm so glad they're together now!

It was sad when he cried during the story of him and Nagisa on the train with Ushio. I'm glad he finally got the courage to spend time with his daughter.

Oh man, what a touching episode this was. I almost cried, almost. But it was a happy episode. I knew through the entire series Tomoya is way too hard on his old man, and I'm ecstatic he finally realizes that himself.

The Fuko story is still the only one to make me outright cry, though this episode and Misae's story brought me pretty close.

After Story is an 8/10 so far for me.

By far, by far, by far the best episode of the whole series up to this point. It's the most I've felt for what's happened in the show since the start, including Nagisa's death. The whole series I'd been waiting to find out about his father, they finally did it, and delivered the goods. Great episode, hands down my favourite part in the series, it'll be hard to top this IMO.

Undoubtedly the best episode in the Clannad Series, and by an outrageous margin. I dont want to like Clannad, nor its After Story, but I can not deny its one of the greats.

This episode alone makes the entire series worth it. One of the strongest episodes ever, but as a True Dragon Ball/DBZ Fan, the title for me will always belong to their episodes, in particular 191 (Save the World).

Oh and the emotional Power Level here is insane, which in my case include unending fits of tears.

Powerful episode, I can't stop crying. Touched this old hard heart. Finally learned about Tomoya's father's past and I understand him a little better now. And finally Tomoya took his own advice and broke down and cried together with his daughter. And Ushio finally figured it out and called him Daddy.
Please don't let it go downhill from here, although I doubt it.

We all know that feeling, episode 18 also crushed me. If it goes downhill from here on out, it really depends on your point-of-view of the anime. To me, personally, it didn´t.
