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.

Awesome episode. This basketball arc was pretty good =)
Also liked how all the girls were showing more affectionate feelings towards Okazaki
Happy episode (which I like); hopefully next episode won't be too sad =P
Clannad sure is getting better ^^

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.

They won in shonen style. The basketball team was evil. They knew about Tomoya's handicap.

I just wanted to ask a quick question about this episode: anyone knows the name of the song played during the basketball match? I didn't find it in the OST x_x

edit:

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.

This episode was hilarious! I love Nagisa's father and 'the-whole-scar-on-the-butt-gag" but Sunohara was hilarious!!

Fave Moments: When he first realizes that the 'cute girl' is MEi, and when they were showing the pictures after the game and he was crushed face down into the pavement

i didnt think they were, clannad is part comedy and some people me included find it funny when Sunohara gets beat up. You will find in ALOT of animes one of the main Charactors gets beat up all the time or something similar

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

I LOVED this episode. Nagisa's Dad is SO funny, I woke up brother laughing so loud. And the basketball was awesome.

The dating scenes are great too. And Kyou is without doubt my favorite girl, though Nagisa still is awfully cute.

Hillarious ep (as always) and Mei's so cute (kawaii/moe, I think it's called? adorable, but not loli).

Tomoyo is really fab, so I liked her starting to take an "interest" in Tomoya, too bad Kyou had to come and ruin everything (although Kyou's also awesome). Nagisa is a bit cute, admittedly, but she doesn't compare in attractiveness nor spirit to those other two.

aaawwww basket match.... I remember when I played it with my classmates at high school, over three years ago.....
even so, good episode, I expected more Mai... she is nice chara.
Tomoyo's interest: Epic fail!!!! she speaks with okazaki one time..... she just interests in him??? bhààààààà
Kyou is great, nagisa is very cute, but I begin to think Sunohara is awesome!!!!!!
ahahahah Sunohara is very hilarious, he is first candidate for my favorite chara, in second position I place Kyou, third is Okazaki.
Where are finitely arcs??? it remains only 6 eps...... mhmhmhm I'm bit confused, and next ep seems centered on Okazaki...... even so I hope we will see great things!!

next to 17th ep

The conversation between Tomoyo, Okazaki and Kyou was good.. Kyou's blushing face.. <3
