| i gotta say, one of the best episodes since the start of this anime. really, the comedy in here was really awesome, plus the introduction of a silent genius awkward girl wins. i LOL'd too hard with Tomoya's jab at kyou, and kyou kicking him after. "ijimeko?" was awesome, specially the way kotomi said it, also, the preview of "nande yanen" was really funny. "tomoya-kun, konichiwa" that was so expected in most of the times she said it, but even if it was expected, it was fun. the cute moment here was when they almost remembered fuko, and kotomi's hug with tomoyo. and really, kyou does like tomoya, its pretty much obvious. in the episode when Ryou readed tomoya's fortune, she said that he would have a fateful meeting. then kyou looked like she had an idea... and the next day, she was the one who met tomoya, in her "bi.." and, i kinda missed tomoyo's kicks to sunohara... it was fun to watch them again next episode should be fun and all hail kotomi's violin skills, everybody shall obey her, or you will have to hear her playing!

| There are probably only three things worth mentioning in this episode... #1 Kotomi-chan's masterful rendition of some violin song...one of the deadliest weapons known to all of mankind! #2 Preview in which Tomoya rejected Kyou's offer to have some fun, I seriously wonder which team he plays on now... #3 Kotomi-chan~ xD Someone made of pure win and a serious contender for SaiMoe '08 is enough of a reason to make this THE BEST EPISODE so far =P Moeness of the episode makes this a 5/5 for me, Fuko isn't that moe~ enough to get that score from me xD |
AngelLily said: Nah, they just seemed to have mixed Kotomi's and Kyou's arcs into one to fit the episodes limit. They have to wrap it all up in a finite amount of episodes after all. It's a good choice, considering they complement each other and bring even more light-hearted fun. I don't think it would really be as funny without Kyou, not dissing Kotomi's cuteness and overall ditzyness.Looks like we're having Kyou's Arc after all. She said "She has yet another rival." I'm sure she means Ryou. I wonder how that will turn out... |

| i will drop my rating for clannad down to a 9 if kyou doesn't get her own arc!!! |

| Hi, first post :P I was pleasantly surprised with how good Kotomi's arc looks like it's going to be. I read on the Internet that she wasn't exactly the most liked girl, but - as with Fuuko - they managed to present her in a hilarious way. The violin part totally tipped me off (I seriously thought she was going to own at it), and Kotomi's expression at the mention of her parents really set the mood for another emotionally deep arc. Go KyoAni! |

I'm sure she means Ryou. I wonder how that will turn out... That IS a possibility. But I don't know how Kotomi's arc will progress, so I can't really say I agree with you. But Tomoya isn't Mr. Pimp Aizawa. There is a possibility to cover more than one girl at once. |
| I never thought I would like Kotomi as much as I did after watching this episode. She is a very unique character. Definately looking forward to the next episode. 5/5 |
 |
| You know, if you want to judge a character before the arc has even stared, I'm throwing a bit fat LOL into your direction. |

cyruz said: You know, if you want to judge a character before the arc has even stared, I'm throwing a bit fat LOL into your direction. That aint a nice thing to say... U should not judge other people like that, they like her as she is NOW... AKA people like her current personality/character, without yet knowing any background story... They have not failed at judging !!! |
| I think it's not really a matter of judging, but the impression we get. I had the impression that she wouldn't be interesting, but I was wrong. |
| Yeah well, you've been through a lot of Fuko episodes and she's grown on almost everyone. I don't think it's a fair thing to say that you'll probably not like this or that character if you haven't even seen one episode dedicated to that character. But that's just me. |

| I'm pretty sure that Kotomi will be my favorite character. This was also the funniest episode by far. A nice break after the sad ending of Fuko's arc. |
 |
| Baseless speculation but I believe Ryou plays an integral part in Kyou's arc...There was a subtle hint in the episode by Kyou, try to find it =P |
PimpToad said: Well, that much is a given. BTW, I've yet to judge the arc itself, it's just the vibe I'm getting from the preview. There's a lot of both Kotomi and Kyou after all. I find Kyou far more interesting than Kotomi right now, although it is nice Kotomi actually grew a little more personality other than "weirdo sitting at the library reading books all day".Baseless speculation but I believe Ryou plays an integral part in Kyou's arc...There was a subtle hint in the episode by Kyou, try to find it =P |

| Kotomi is so damn cute. The hug between her and Tomoyo-kuma was awesome! I'm definitely looking forward to Kyou and especially Tomoyo's arc after this. Heh. But yeah, Kotomi is way cute. The jokes, the bully bit and stuff were great. And Fuko was not forgotten! The episode confirmed to me that she really was forgotten by everyone though (including Nagisa and Tomoya). I was wondering about that at the end of episode 9 since it was sort of left ambiguous (although leaning towards she's forgotten). I'm assuming right now that Kyou likes Tomoya but she probably has a complex of not being ladylike or whatever and she seems to be helping her sister out instead who may also like him. |
| Another funny and exciting episode :) |
cyruz said: You know, if you want to judge a character before the arc has even stared, I'm throwing a bit fat LOL into your direction. I'd guess some judge based on the game experience. |
| Sure didn't sound like that at all; and since I can't read minds I'm sticking with what I said. (: |

| @Akaraxle From your previous post, it doesn't show that you have any previous experience with the game at all. Anyway, most of us here are entering the world of Clannad as virgins (just wanted to use the word). If you have played the game before, try not to make comments that can potentially spoil the story for us. Kotomi is getting a lot of love...how can you not like a moe~ character? MADNESS!!! |
Crisu said: Don't feel stupid. ^^ It's a Japanese culture thing. The boke/tsukkomi (funny man/straight man) style of comedy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manzai The tsukkomi usually carries a harisen (those giant paper fans) to hit the boke with whenever he says something stupid. If you've seen Full Metal Panic, Kaname whacks Sousuke with it many times. Kyou instead kicks Tomoya in the face. ^_^ Konata and Kagami from Lucky Star are a similar Manzai duo. oooooooh ok I see it now, never seen FMP but a few others come to mind with the same thing. Thank you for clearing that up! *goes to re-watch that part* |
| Such a cute episode!!! Really like it! ^_~ |

I think you misunderstood me there :P Correct, I haven't played the game before; I'm as virgin to Clannad as you and totally loving it! What I meant to say is that some of those people, here or around the Internet, saying that they don't like Kotomi before the anime arc even started might have based their opinions on the game. Myself, I like Kotomi a lot so far :) |
| You can't hate moe...you just can't!!! I think Kotomi is just one of those characters that you prefer over the main one (Nagisa). Of course Tomoyo is also cool, but she is not moe~ enough compared to Kotomi-chan~ xD Edit: 69th post! Hurray^_^ |
| You aren't alone, I find Nagisa so cute. Plus it's obvious why Tomoya feels a bond with her. She's like him ways, but also posseses what he lacks and yearns for (a normal family life). Plus, her family is so damn charming and quirky, you can't help but love them all. |

| Great episode XD Favourite part's were whenever Kotomi would be hugged she'd blush and her Moe-ness would reach level's well over 9000. I really need a screen of the Tomoyo-Bear / Kotomi hug scene xD I guess I'll get it myself after I'm done episode 12. Oh and the REZOMBIEEEEEE! hahaha. IRC: <_ViM_> REZOMBIE <Don`tMoveIGotARezombie> I wonder if it's supposed to be a weapon of some kind? lolol. Oh and as for Kyou... uh, I went the whole episode thinking that Kyou was trying to set up Ryou with Tomoya...? Why didn't I get the Kyou x Tomo vibes? o_O Violin scene, like someone else said, I expected her to either being really good or horribly bad haha. ONTO EPISODE ELEVEN! REZOMBIE! |
 |
| hugging tomoyo-kuma ftw~ too bad tomoyo didn't say anything this episode. i was gonna say the intelligence average of the girls in clannad seems to be lower than Kanon and Air at this point, despite Kotomi's genius status since she acts as dumb as Fuko did. However I was corrected and now I say she's just eccentric and/or socially maligned. never thought I'd say this but we may need more girls who have more self-esteem than Fuko and Kotomi are providing. Those two were always my least favorites from the game...too bad KyoAni decided to start with what I thought were the weaker two arcs, who knows how many people dropped the show already without getting to the awesomeness of Tomoyo and Kyou. mai ka~ we move on |

cyruz said: I hope, but I don't see how they will be able to develop her as intensely as all other four characters have been so far. Now, if they do the same trick they are doing with Kyou and begin introducing her arc early then they could pull something off. I'll give them a chance. They have been pretty spot-on so far.Leon-Gun said: kei-clone said: Who knows if we will ever "see" Tomoyo's arc even.

| That was a very cute episode and I really like Kotomi's introduction xD. I can't wait to see what else happens with this addition to the group. |
| that was a great episode. XD Tomoya-kun konichiwa. lol. XD REZOMBIE FTW! XP |
Kiefferdenn said: Ahh, new arc.. Kotomi = kawaii.. Lol @ the violin scene.. Was expecting her to be really good at it, but that was a great laugh.. amen to the laughing thing... at first i was thinking to myself "oh my goodness... she can't be that bad!" |
 |
| that was a beautiful kick by kyou in the band room.:P |
  |
| Pretty funny, I hope this show is licensed soon so I can watch it in surround sound. |
   #NBHNC |
| wow i really like kotomi, she was my favorite from the start, poor sunohara, too bad they didn't add the hole combo sequence... for some reason i think the sunohara and tomoyo would seem better together than tomoyo and tomoya... but we aren't there yet and i have no ideas what happens |
First Sig built from scratch 2nd overall^^^ |
nodoka-koi said: Haha an awesome start of a new ark. "Nande yanen" I laughed so hard i choked. Ichinose says so much funny I probably shouldn't watch Clannad while I'm sick like now. I can't add all of ichinoses comments but seriously: "Ijimeko?" LOL same thing here!! Hilarious all the way! |
| So cute. |
 |
| watch out for your ears against killer violin users :D |
| I wish I had purple-haired girls at my school... especially tsundere ones |
     |
| That conversation between Nagisa and Kotomi = hilarious win. "Nagisa-chan are you a bully?" I ROFLed. >__< Tomoyo... in... bear... suit.... o_o Kotomi.... violin.... o_o This episode had a lot of choice moments. |
     Sig WILL change soon~ |
| sounds like kotomi wants to get bullied. |
| Good episode, I can't really see where they're going with it now, but I like Kotomi, so it should be good. And atleast, Okazaki and Nagisa are still trying to remember Fuko, I just hope they do bring her back at some point...Urahara Out!! Sent with Mal Updater |
