| This was an awesome episode. I loved it. Tomoya looks good with any girl....he looked so cool and more mature in this episode. The ending had me in tears and prefer this over the Kyou chapter. Tomoya Okazaki is such a fantastic anime character I don't mind him with any girl even though Nagisa will be my first choice for him as she gives him the unconditional love that he needs and he gives her the encouragement and strength she needs. They complement each other!! |
| A house is made from bricks and stones but a home is made from love alone! |
| That was good. Reminded me kinda of 5cm per sec, but with a Clannad touch. Anyways, 4/5 is my rating. One point off because I don't see much of a chemistry between Tomoyo and Tomoya. |
| I demand that they rewrite the whole anime and make it about Tomoyo, who actually has a personality. |
mayukachan said: That was good. Reminded me kinda of 5cm per sec, but with a Clannad touch. Exactly what I was thinking! So I mentioned this before during the series that Tomoyo looked so good with Tomoya. This episode proved that they would have worked as a viable couple as well. Such a great episode that basically had everything I could want in a special. Was holding back tears at that beautiful end :') |

| Holy Crap, I thought that it was going to stay a bad ending o.0! I could feel the end drawing near as things just kept getting worse. I was getting a little depressed as Okizaki's life turn to shit. Then the credits started to roll up with me thinking "NO! Why is this happening!". I was starting to think that the whole purpose of the Tomoya Chapter was just to show why Okizaki is better off/ meant to be with Nagisa as the main-plot girl. But with that close-save ending, Clannad did what it does best... Made me cry ;-; |
| depressing as always T_T seriously Tomoyo is the only girl, apart from Kyou, that has a personality and that I love to see being developed.. anyway the junior who kept talking trash to Tomoya was goddamn annoying. |
 |
| 3rd time I regretted not having a PC for the VN. >_< Loved the episode! OfficialGuts said: anyway the junior who kept talking trash to Tomoya was goddamn annoying. ^Agreed. |
| I watched this immediately after the last ep of Clannad so I'm not sure how I feel about it. at first I thought this was a flashback and that they were dating before xD I didn't really realize it's an alternative story until it finished.. anyway, I didn't like Clannad that much, so I'm not really a Tomoya-Nagisa fan. I'm more like Tomoya fan :3.. and I did kind of liked him more with Tomoyo |
| just watched this after i finished clannad today Im not a big fan of Okzaiki&Nagisa . Wish he would have ended up with tomoya . Tomoya is much better than negisa Going to watch this episode again really enjoyed it just wish clannad ended like this Cant get over this episode Dammit . Starting after story now |

| Tomoyo should have been the main character. Nagisa should just die. |
 |
| The break-up and make-up scenes were amazing. I cannot help but wonder just how much better the original series would've been if the main heroine is Tomoyo instead of Nagisa. This would've been a 10 if it was longer. |

| It's nice seeing a different girl with Tomoya rather Nagisa |

TOMOYO <3   Finally,i can't belive finally,i saw them together... I'm a huge fan of Tomya + Tomoyo,if i could chouse i would chose them instead of Tomoyo + Nagisa in the Clannad,i prefer a lot Tomoya. I wasn't able to hold my tears when i saw Tomoya crying,and that snow...Amazing!!She was just so cute,they really love each other!! Best OVA or Alternative Ending i have ever seen in my life it's this one,i saw what i wanted for the whole anime! I'm without words the ending was amazing! :D |

| she is sooooo much better than nagisa |
 |
| Sunohara's new look was hilarious. Nice ending, now on to after story once I'm done typing. I give this a 10 out of 10! |
| "The will to live is stronger than anything else" |
| Surprisingly good! Got to the point straight and quick in one episode. Now that I watch this I think Tomoya x Nagisa isn't as good anymore... |
| Tomoya's character design looks really great here. First half felt generic / borderline cringe, but the second half was really pretty. |
| While I prefer Tomoya with Nagisa, it was nice to see how him and Tomoyo could have worked out. I think this would have been better if it was maybe 2 or 3 episodes though - I'd have liked to have seen more of the development of their relationship. This was basically "they're dating - they're not - they are again". Very enjoyable, though! |
| I had a strong suspicion prior to this episode that Tomoyo would've been Tomoya's best pick, especially when episode 23 showed how awkward Tomoya and Nagisa are together. This episode basically confirms what I thought. Tomoya is relaxed, easy-going, and comfortable. He doesn't try hard and doesn't care to. On the other hand, Tomoyo is strong, bold, confident and will not only push their relationship along but would push Tomoya to do better for himself - I think this episode proves that perfectly. Perhaps it's because I feel like I can relate to Tomoya and would do well with a girlfriend like Tomoyo myself. ;_; But man, the ending was so touching. That Tomoyo was practically willing to give up her full potential just because she loved Tomoya that much... it really shows the power of love. I know it's indeed a rather cliche ending, but this move on her part works so well with her personality I couldn't help but find it moving. Tomoyo's characterization is truly perfect here. I just wish this pairing would've been fleshed out a little more by making this OVA 4-5 episodes long instead. It would have been better if this was given as a true alternate ending that continues from right before Tomoya realized he loved Nagisa (around episode 18, I think), similar to the VN, rather than a "what if" scenario. It would've been nice if each of the girls got that treatment, actually. |

| I cried. I felt nothing the first season of Clannad, but this made me cry. |

| This one was a lot more emotional than the first season of Clannad in my opinion. Very good OVA! |

| I really wish this was what the original anime was based on. There was a much better story and I actually teared up at the end, it was beautiful. The original plot was boring and meaningless throughout a lot of it. |

| Ooouuuu. I didn't know if this pairing would work well, but it's actually quite nice after watching this OVA -^o^- |
| What a great OVA. I wish the main series was based on this couple now. The ending also reminded me of 5cm per second. 9/10 |
| This was fantastic to me is was better than the whole first season. While watching the first season I felt nothing really the whole time, but this actually brought tears to my eyes. It was beautiful I stand by what I had thought while watching season 1, that Tomoya should be with Tomoyo and this just confirmed it. The love between Tomoyo and Tomoya just feels more genuine and just made the episode beautiful. |

| An amazing episode. This is the romance I was looking for. Extremely disappointed that Tomoya never said "I love you" back. And the kiss was interrupted </3 |
| The animation in this was much better compared to the season of "Clannad". The character art and their designs also made great improvements in my opinion as well. This short OVA honestly made the entire other twenty-three episodes of "Clannad" pale in comparison, which had endless forced drama to make the relationships work out. Tomoya and Tomoyo on the other hand felt like much a more natural and likable couple than Tomoya and Nagisa. I agree with the earlier comment that this OVA reminded me of "5 Centimetres Per Second", especially due to the train track crossing scene and the cherry blossom trees in the snow scene. |

| Lol, Sunohara's original hair color. Tomoyo's getting busy as the Student Council President. And there's a jerk who made Tomoya break up with her. But in the end, they got back together! (^_^) I almost cried when they cried. (T_T) I just love this episode as much as Tomoyo loves Tomoya. Too bad there's no kiss though. |
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling. |
Fireego said: Too bad there's no kiss though. This is KyoAni. Such blasphemy doesn't exist in their dictionary. |
 |
| Ahh.. this brought back nostalgia and memories of my old school days. The delinquent dating the head of student council. I was in an exactly same situation as Tomoya. Things didn't go well for me. Therefore, It feels really great to see them get back together. |
Stay in yesterday 時を止めて |
| Didn't expect this OVA episode to be this good, damn. |
  |
| I really enjoyed this... it had such a sweet ending, but i wish it hadn't gone by so fast! |
 |
| For me, this was more heartbreaking & heartwarming than Season 1. |
 |
| Too short, but still a better story/romance than the whole main series. Much better art, as well, I think. |
 |
| I loved it!!! I wish it was longer or there was more to Tomoya & Tomoyo being together, I thought it was so cute. The feels I got at the end and when Tomoyo was crying and he grabbed her and hugged her and got all emotional too. <3 I was so mad at that guy in the glasses that was so rude to Tomoya & he totally interrupted their kiss. -_- Tomoya why are you a perfect pair with everyone, even though the Nagisa one makes the most sense and I love it so much, he really is a perfect match for any of them.~ |
| That was a pretty good alternate story for being only 1 episode. Very nice. |
| i love the original ending, but this rute have a love conflict that would make a great main arc |
| I absolutely loved it. I might have finished Clannad pretty recently but that was like seeing a long missed friend. Looks like the show's characters managed to grew on me pretty well. Personally I didn't see much chemistry between Tomoyo and Tomoya but this episode was brilliant.
