| This is complete & utter BS!!! I can't stop the tears. Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy |
| It was really hard to watch. I'm officially depressed. |
 |
| It was pretty fucking amazing episode. Its probably the first time I cried since Fuko's arc in the first season and teared since Kotomi's arc. I hope KyoAni gives us the true good ending of the game as the end for the series. |

Good example would be cancer. Anyways here people cheer up:  It's pointless to say anything else. Soaking my keyboard would suck anyways. So like where is Fuko to cheer us up??? >_< BTW, just made this banner from a pic and IT SUCKS but at least it's somewhat a homage to Nagisa? Thoughts? |

| I am hoping that in 17 they show more of a flashback of the death scene. I posted it in the Clannad club but here, too - I am hoping that they show more of the death scene - I mean, after that, that is. It looks like in the next episode Tomoya's in his depression, but I am hoping they show a flashback of Tomoya's perspective of the rest of the scene. I really thought he would go running with Nagisa to the spot Akio showed him. =o It looks to me like Akio is probably looking at him there in the opening scene when Akio is in the snow. I will wait! And! That little thing being built in the coming attractions - I wonder if it's Ushio building little robot things. <3 But.. poor Tomoya. D: I was hysterical once I saw all the diapers all over their apartment - that's how my room looks right now with infant diapers waiting. >.> She looked so beautiful when dying, too. =( And Fuko has to be coming soon! She is hugging little Ushio-chan in the opening song. |
| Usotsuki. |
| NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! TT__TT |
| Great... I'm going to go to school in TEARS! T_T |
 |
| Crikey, I'm glad I decided to watch this episode first. It'll take the rest of the anime in my queue to cheer me up. |
  |
| DONT DIE NAGISAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! Damn it.... I thought its gonna be different form the movie... |
 |
| My eye has got hotter and hotter when i watched it. Almos dropped a tear. damn im heartless. |
 |
| Lomax - me too, but that's because I knew she will die ;) |
| NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY FFS FFS!!!!!! I REALLY THOUGHT THEY WOULDN'T AHHHHH BAKA PRODUCERS@@ Ah well, I still love Clannad, probably even more, but I would have loved it way more if they kept her alive. :'( FFS, after all the flashback pictures, I thought they might bring her back or something, FFS I had that hope, that hope, right until the end. Ahhhhh the preview, the lovely Okazaki sign, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I didn't even shed a bloody tear, I AM SO HEARTLESS. I wanted to cry so badly when Tomoya was about to break down with Ushio in his hands. Oh man... ~Abs |
Winrar said: I like TORCH better than Dango Daikazoku, but they shouldn't have played it in this episode. To people who've played the game ONLY, a question!!!: Also I loved this episode, I BAAAAAAAAAAAW'd like a little girl, but is good to see that the anime is going the game way. Plus Yusuke light GET! |

| Episode in a nutshell: RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE I apparently can't cry even at this, and that's rather infuriating. I do feel like I should have watched this tonight rather than this morning though. I'm pretty sure my day is shot now. It's probably going to take a little to sink in, then come the wateworks and BAWWWWWW'ing. Oh, wait, there they are. I think now I'm hoping more than hopingly possible. That's right, hopingly. Oh, and Torch was utterly out of place and uncalled for. The only thing that could have possibly killed the mood more, or angered me more would be a Fuko appearance. |

| I kinda knew about this already........ But I still couldn't help it. BAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW NAGISA CHAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! T_T ;_; |
hirahira said: Exactly my thoughts. I always used to like Nagisa least of all Clannad girls, but with After Story I actually started to like her more every episode. Noooooooooooo ;______; when I first found out what would happen to her, I was actually happy because I didn't like her back then but After Story made me love her and now I am really sad T_T And jeez, how that ending theme ruined the mood, yet again. |
| That made me cry... Really. Nagisa was a girl I looked up to, I admired her strength. I feel sad for Tomoya. He doesn't really have anyone else, except for Ushio. |
| awww, pregnant Nagisa was really cute ! And it was cute when the dango music played on the back *o* And it was nice that there was (almost) everyone at Okazakis' place. I knew that Nagisa was going to die. So sad for Tomoya. The scene wasn't made beautifuly, but the thing itself was something beautiful. And Ushio is going to be so like Nagisa ! Torch... That sure killed the mood >.< |
     |
| omg... Nagisa really died!! :'( This episode was so sad that i cried so much =( i didn't expect that she would die honestly! i thought that they would suprise us with something like she would survive after the birth of Ushio but I was wrong =( R.I.P NAGISA! I hope that she could be revived and come back once under the 8 episodes that are left... :( |

| haha, havent posted in forever xD neways, this is a great example of execution after watching a ton of anime, themes get very repetitive and story lines inevitably get cliche. So at that point, there are two ways to make a good anime - either think up something no one else has ever thought up, or to execute it beautifully. The second half made great use of animation, music, and acting and really did a great job. Kinda makes me wonder how this scene may have ended up had shaft been animating it... hmmm... 5/5 |

| Wow...I guess to sum it up, I'm kinda wishing I dropped Clannad ~After Story~. Not because it's bad; on the contrary it has to be one of the most effective Animes I've watched that's had such an impact on me so as to make me cry for as long as I did. But it's also because of the tear-jerkers (this was even more than a tear-jerker for me considering how much I cried) that I wish I didn't watch it. It's a great way to feel totally depressed and really I feel like staying in my room for the rest of the day. Also, agreed, TORCH was a terrible ED for this episode. I'm in the middle of tears and then happy-hardcore TORCH came on...it's the first time Clannad disappointed me. |
  Dango, dango, dango, dango, dango, daikazoku~ |
| To me it seems their flying through the season. Already marriage, baby, then she dies. What 8 episodes left, wonder what else can they cover with the pace they've been going. New Year's party was funny though, Kotomi did look very nice... |
| I hope that Tomoya doesn't end up like his father. |
Gaming dabblings: iRO Chaos, US Pangya, iRO Valkyrie, KR Pangya *^will fix this monstrosity later* |

| Great but such a sad episode :( Just seeing Nagisa fade away like that was so tear-jerking and it looks like it will follow how the movie went with how Tomoya copes afterwards |

| This is one of the few anime series that I don't want spoilers. One day [while finishing Clannad] I decided to watch the movie to see the differences. I completely had no idea that something so devastating would happen. But I must say, this is more beautiful than the movie. More painful to watch, but detailed so I liked it. I cried too -____- NAGISA!!! |
| My brain: Yorozuya Gin-chan -> Yozakura Quartet = Yorozuya Quartet (this is how much Gintama has affected me). |
AnimeloverYori said: Great... I'm going to go to school in TEARS! T_T Thats exactly why I avoided watching it this morningxD I watched toradora instead and decided to wait till I came home so I had time to cryxD Bakayaro said: The only thing that could have possibly killed the mood more, or angered me more would be a Fuko appearance. Actually... that would have been pretty epic in a strange way... But I pretty much agree with everyone else... Torch totally ruined the mood... they could have just shown a black screen with credits for all I cared and it would have been better... or maybe Dango Dango Daigazoku in Nagisa's honor xD I cried... And I think I'll probably cry more in the next episode... Because I really didn't like Nagisa... but Tomoya I do Y___Y |
 |
| maybe they should have went back to the dango song for this episode.... that way every1 would be in tears. i never watch the ending anyways. im like thats for most of my animes. |
| I.. I.. I just don't have word to descibe how sad I thought this was, poor Nagisa and poor Tomoya :'-[ |
 |
| I agree with the rest that the ending TORCH is not so fitting with this. It really would be better to put a special ED song or just have none for this episode (just like what they've done on Full Metal Alchemist). It's interesting how I didn't really like Nagisa much up to the end of Clannad's first season, but she definitely has become more and more likeable in After Story, despite the really quick timescale. I wonder what the remaining episodes will be like though, and what Tomoya will do with the light orbs (as I haven't played the game or watched the movie T_T) |
| The first half of the episode was great, then the second half came... Epic Fail. |
| Just finished it. Bawled. T____T |
   |
| I skipped the ED...it could've been a sadder version of Dango Daikazoku...dammit. While watching Nagisa slowly pass away, I was like "Nagisa!! No, don't! Where the **** is the good ending here!? Dammit all!! Nagisa! Nagisa!! NAGISA!!!" But anyways, I bet we'll at least see something good here in the end...hopefully... But still, I doubt we will end with Nagisa just dead like that...more like |
| Very sad episode. T.T If I didn't know it was going to happen I might've even cried. The ending though... bad. It wasn't right that they used something that sounded so happy in the beginning of the song right after I'm wondering what'll happen in the next episodes, since there are still 8 left. |
 |
| I finished watching the sub and I cried a lot D: and I'm raising my rating to a 9. There still is a chance that it will have a happy ending though. even though it was really sad, I kind of hope they keep her dead. |
| Besides the fact that this episode was incredibly sad, I thought that KyoAni pulled it off really well. The way the white light from Nagisa's point of view got brighter and brighter, engulfing everything was really a dramatic effect that I've never seen done before. brb, going to bawww my eyes out. |
Dango Dango Dango Dango Dango Daikazoku.. Hold up, Tomoya, I hear you. I wish it was easier, but he'll have to go the way, the one that waits for him. It'll be hard to watch. But in the end.. Good bye , till then! |
HanzoMittori said: I think its going to be a happy ending for ep 24 They are going to be a happy family in the end i wish that too but it seems impossible :( |
hazelnutman said: brb, going to bawww my eyes out. Same here, movie was sad because I feelt like Tomoyo, but that was more sad then ever. Very well delivered. I just can't stop [...] when watching He's going on depression for several months or years... |
