Hey Tomoya , I could of helped you eat all that food. All you had to do is ask me. But no, instead you have heartburn.

It's not that I dislike Kotomi (though she is a bit whiny and annoying) nor that I hate her existing in the show. But rather that her appearances only seem to be for the effect of "hey, there's one more girl over here who's sad that she doesn't get Tomoya."

Yay for some Nagisa/Tomoya action, but I feel so sorry for the other girls. ;___;

Tomoyo is so full of win.

Hmm... I don't think that Kotomi is really in love with Tomoya.
For her, he is just her best and first friend she ever had, so she is concerned about him..

I really don't like Nagisa at all but the whole thing Tomoya knocking that guy's hand away was awesome. And I felt pretty bad for Kyou/Ryou =(

Sunohara with the pink hearted boxer shorts on his head was just fantastic. I love Sunohara <3

And Tomoyo...now I really want to read Tomoyo After :D

I'm going to absolutely hate having to go without this show for a week ;_;

That being said, this was a good episode, mainly because tomoyo got a good amount of screen time!

Yeah, by now it's pretty obvious that Nagisa and Tomoya are going to get together by the end of this series (well arguably that's been obvious since the beginning..but you get what I'm saying). I was kinda hoping they'd swerve us and put him together with maybe Kotomi, but it's looking less and less likely.


That being said, I want to make it clear that I think that keeping Kotomi around after the story left focus from her was a good decision, but I'm annoyed at how she ends up having less dialog than any of the other girls; even Fuko has at least 3-4 notable lines per episode, and she's in a freaking coma!

Once Nagisa returned from her absence, Tomoya unconsciously discover how much he longed for her. Even after Kyou's effort of making foods for the suspended Tomoya he still don't show any love interest. They were too slow to approach Tomoya who is a delinquent bum and actually have no desire for love relationship. The sign of defeat was when they broke down in tears. Pitiful, pitiful sight. :<

Winning matches in several kind of psychical competitions is so like Tomoyo. It's also a development to hear some of Tomoyo's background. Next episode looks very promising. Tomoyo's reign as student council begin. The Theater Club finally reestablished. I wonder where how they'll go from there on. My guesses are: Fujibayashi remain as "good friends", Nagisa and Tomoya getting closer to each other, Tomoyo fighting to preserve the sakura trees.

As for the Kotomi hate, Fuko hate, etc. whatever! Bah.

Wow kyoani copped out of that one...guess you call that killing two birds with one stone...

Both Kyou and Tomoyo arcs in total received around 4 episodes, with two dedicated episodes and two random snippets scattered throughout the series.

I guess that I have to applaud the way they avoided the other couplings and solidified the route they planned on using, but my fanboy side says death to kyoani! =P

We don't even get to see a confession or nothing, just your typical male harem lead oblivious to the other girls while he pines over the chosen one. Sure we have some Ryou/Tomoya, but Kyou is the more important sister of the two. The previews somewhat hint to a Kyou confession but the lack of the leg socks? adds more to the mystery of it.

Has to be my least favourite Clannad episode by far. Not against the Nagisa route, but bringing the hammer down at the expense of the other girls makes me sad. Kyou and Tomoyo didn't even get a chance to become love interests to Tomoya, just calmly stepping aside (or breaking into sad tears) once they find the situation utterly hopeless...

OH MY LORD

most annoying cliffhanger ever,so at the moment all im getting is Tomoyo likes Tomoya, but Kyou's sister also likes Tomoya BUT Kyou likes him to but would rather see her sister happy... that is until she breaks down in tears at the end when she finally realizes Tomoya has the eyes for Nagisa?

I cant believe i have to wait another week for the next episode T____T

Apart from the usual fantasticness of Clannad (such as the overfeeding of okazaki and Fuko's "help") the ending was absolutely epic, when Okazaki's arm just shot out and the twins realized that Okazaki had already made his choice. Absolutely beautiful!

2. Kyou cried

AHHHHHH I'M GOING NUTS.

KyoAni is a wonderful studio but they need to learn to STEP AWAY FROM BEING SO FAITHFUL TO THE ORIGINAL CONTENT ONCE IN A WHILE ;_;

Seriously, I would've loved to have seen Kanon end with Mai or Nayuki. Just as I would love to see this show end with Kyou or Tomoyo.

Anyways, this was a spectacular episode. The food scene was hilarious. I loved seeing everyone, especially Ryou, trying to get Tomoya to eat. But the highlight was defintely the second half with trying to get Tomoyo more support. The tennis match was really well done in the sense of pretty much putting the knockout on the competition for Tomoya.


It really is the best, Tomoya blushing, his feelnigs for Nagisa are all there, etc...
Loving it... Sad to see Kyou like that though at the end :(

The beginning 3/4 of the episode were forgettable; stupid harem moments, a few laughs, and Tomoyo's uninteresting backstory (nothing against her, she is very entertaining but I don't particularly care about her past just the present). I was glad to see Nagisa come back in the episode instead of waiting until the next. The sisters annoy me, seriously with all those guys in that school, twin sisters fall for the same one. Only in a harem anime.

As everyone else I am not surprised about the Tomoya and Nagisa development, and I am actually happy about it. The slow development through the series is much more believable then having him being completely undecided until the end.

I also don't think that characters should just vanish after their arcs are over. They are all friends after all, even if they are interested in the same guy.

Note that I am a Kotomi supporter but I still think that Nagisa is the best match for Tomoya.

nice!that's what i thought so too. tomoyo maybe just showing her gratitude to tomoya though, so maybe its just ryou and kyou who got pwned in the end. oh well...kyou might have been thinking about the gym scene all along "but we..almost made out! you almost raped me and i almost let you! :-O" XD lol

The whole episode was awesome, but that last scene was by far the best. It is sad to see him make 'the choice' though. Maybe people (including myself) will like Nagisa more once her arc starts.

Well it was OK I guess... I think this is one of the rare series where I'd rather see the protagonist with someone else than female lead. i.e. Tomoyo or Kotomi in this situation...

But Seriously, they need to give Fuuko a rest... this isn't funny anymore, it's just annoying.

I guess I didn't enjoy the episode as much as everyone else did...Lunch was great but its funny that the reintroduction of Nagisa to the group just breaks everything down.

I personally think that Nagisa has been the least interestng character on the show and the fact that the last two episodes were so good were because she wasnt actually in them. For a show that's main appeal is the secondary characters its just reality that I feel this way about the supposed main female lead.

I loved the crying exchange between the girls but it looked amazingly awkward and slighty off on the sidelines of the tennis match and not in that two girls are crying on the side of a tennis court kinda way.

Awesome, awesome eouside. Great development for pretty much everyone. Very emotional and everyone's starting to understand their own feelings. This is what Clannad is all about. Fuko's appearance was very well placed this time. I really loved this.

Ryou really is the brightest of the twins. Not that Kyou is stupid or anything, but she understood things way before her sister did. Kyou lets her emotions speak for herself and that got her hurt a lot.

I totally cheered when I saw Tomoyo won. Her story was so very touching, I wish they had given her more screentime, I really do.

Man, I hope the other episodes are as good as this one.

And the Nagisa hate plows on. Yes, she gets the hot guy, now all of the fanboys can go cry in a corner. Also, I think Nagisa hasn't fully recovered from her illness, so more Nagisa drama coming soon. Next episode seems to be more about Tomoya's relationship with his father (which was touched in this episode). I want to know whether my feeling that he's overreacting is correct or if he really is entitled to be so cold.

As for why Kotomi hardly ever talks...well, she's always been that way. Though I agree they need to give her a few more lines. Maybe have her interject in the conversations in some form.

I guess I would be one of the afformentioned haters. The reason I "hate" Nagisa is because I honestly feel that if we removed her from the anime, it would not hurt the story or the pacing in the slightest. I honestly believe that. The fact is that she as a character is boring as hell. Her mom and dad are hilarious while she is just the kinda quiet kinda defenseless hot chick who hasn't done anything but make the lead character jump through hoops. She is a waste and its shown by how much attachment people have to every other character in the anime.

also good theory. I think there is going to be a sick Nagisa arc now that you mention it.

Aye aye, I understand your reasoning. I always find her to be a good foil for Tomoya though. And even if you dislike the character, you gotta agree that it is a good decision to seal the deal fairly early rather than do a late and badly developed pairing.

And the main reason I think Nagisa is still sick is mainly her look. Ever since coming back she's had an ill look about her, and in the preview you can see she looks red, almost kinda feverish (and not in the blushing kind of way).

I always new kyou liked him from the begining and iif its not kyo, then tomoyo... anyone but nagisa Dx
fuko's appearance in this ep. was ok (since it was comedy) but I really dislike that she keeps popping up, either they make it so she is in the story or dont, because in the last few eps, that ruined the mood Dx
speaking of her, the food part was funny xD

Completely agree, it was as if they didn't have time to draw enough frames or know how to show people cringe/crying at the same time. I was too busy laughing at the animation to really feel for them.

The first half of this episode was awesome and then it went downhill fast. All I ask is for the last few episodes to be awesome. Strangely I thought Fuko was really funny this time around (sorry guys from the Anti-Starfish Association).

Did I miss something? After the part of the episode where all the girls bring Tomoya food; it goes black and he magically appears in school again lol. I take it he was only suspended for a few days and not the whole school year right? lol that part was just so random it kind of killed the mood for me.

Other then that this ep was pretty good.
