Just saw the ep. I thought had lots of cute and touching moments. For me, the one that affected me most was Sanae crying. I don't know why that hit me the most, I guess the weight being lifted from her just got to me. All those years of not crying and letting it out. Sure it was bad for Tomoya, but Akio and Sanae outlived their child. That's gotta be extremely hard to cope with for any loving parent.

I'm also getting in here early before a flood of "FUKO!" and inadvertent, and not properly tagged, spoiler posts by people who played the game.


I feel you man.

MY HEART!
So glad that Tomoya finally put his past feelings aside and forgave his Dad, and that Ushio was actually able to meet her grandfather!
Such a lovely episode! ♥

In my opinion it was the best episode of Clannad: ~After Story~. I really like this moment when Tomoya comes with Ushio to his father. It was really touching and heartbreaking (for me, of course). I cried when Tomoya finally realized that he didn't undersand his father and that he didn't notice what Naoyuki did for him during all this years. So realistic episode. It could happen in real life. Maybe it was too melodramatic but I don't care. The best episode I've ever seen in anime.

Nice episode and great to see Fuko back.

Somehow from this episode, I felt sadder for the parents in the series that the actual main characters. They all did so much for the children and kept strong for so long. Sanae actually crying for Nagisa is just too sad and I'm glad that Tomoya, as a grown up, can finally understand what his dad went through for him.

Weird seeing Fuuko again. Although I have to agree that Ushio is cute :3

Glad to see Tomoya finally confront his father. He sure looks old considering that he wouldn't be THAT old. If he had Tomoya just after Highschool he barely would be 50 and yet he looks into he's 70s...

I'm thinking that Kindergarten teacher is going to be Kyou.

Oh my lady, Matured Fuuko <3
I like her than the Loli one. She is very adorable though.

I didn't expect that I cried during the farewell of Tomoya's father. The feels within TT_TT

"I have not once cried during this series, but after seeing the father scene, I just started bawling without realizing it".
Even I rewatching it (I know what hapeen next) but shit I cry ;__;
, maybe because I'm start to finish college and realize how difficult to be a father or parents(like my own parents ) though they might be tough but they do it for you.

I'm glad she's back, Fuko is still as cute as ever! I cried when Tomoya apologized to his father, luckily Fuko's appearance cheered me up.

Ushio's teacher is obviously Kyou. It was even hinted in the opening. I can't wait for her appearance!

I had never put the two and two together before, but the orb of light appearing answers Tomoya's question about his father's happiness. It's still sad to see how he'll most likely remain a broken man, but raising Tomoya to be a fine man was still his ultimate joy even when he lost sight of everything else.

Time to wrap all loose ends, we're almost at the end. Wonder if Sanae and Akio gets their episode too.
In fact, there were many heartwarming combacks in the novels, let's hope they will show them all.

Anyway, great episode, they forced me to tear up again, I guess the music together with nostalgy of the game works on me again. Father x son scene was so powerful.
And I absolutely loved how Tomoya is still messing around with Fuuko.

am I imagining the Gurren Lagann references, the timing in which the 2 shows existed would allow for the jokes to be legitimate references but the window is slim at only 7 months? the jokes I'm referring too are Akio's sunglasses gag from a few episodes ago and the "who the hell do you think I am" part of this episode. it could also be an artifact of the dub. but I can't confirm that currently.
On a side note, FUKO IS AWAKE.... YEA!

So nice to Fuko out of the coma, I always thought the writers would bring her back. She was such a big part of season 1 (literally) I think Fuko arc was like 5 - 6 episodes long and she made appearances throughout the season.

They're really packing a lot into these final episodes. Glad to see Tomoya doing so well. Such a great show. They could've ended the series right here at ep.19 and I would've been happy. Can't wait to see how they wrap things up and who makes an appearance in the final 3 episodes.

Looks like we are going for a good ending after all.
WTF was with Fuko playing in the sandbox? I get that she's childish and she doesn't realize her age yet, but that was taking it too far.
Kyou is back next ep, maybe we'll even get everyone back together again.

Quite an episode. I teared up when Sanae started crying, first time she cried after five years. Can't imagine how she would feel losing her daughter but getting such a wonderful granddaughter.

Fuko is back, I've been waiting for this! I thought she wasn't going to make an appearance. But I find it sad that neither seems to remember what happened between them so it's as if nothing did happen... wish they'd remember at least parts of it. Fuko's as cute as ever though.

Tomoya's dad can finally rest. Up until the last few episodes, I've been so judgmental of Tomoya's dad. I mean not everything he did was right and he certainly made some mistakes, but he was just trying his best to raise a son on his own without the person he held dearest in life. Just like Tomoya now. It's great to see father and son reconciled and seeing Tomoya's dad at peace.

That light orb, does it mean Tomoya is finally happy? Or what was it? I kind of forgot what the light orbs mean.

Next episode is going to have a lot of Ushio, yay! She's so darn cute. Say goodbye to mommy? Say goodbye to Nagisa, right? For a moment, I thought Tomoya is going to remarry. I hope not.

Doing amends with the past is always a good first step. It was nice to see Tomoya finally coming to terms with his father though the sequence wasn't as "touching/powerful" as I would have liked. The same can go for Sanae's scene but well.

Anyways, next episode seems to be packed with tons of Ushio's cuteness. Will see if I can survive...

great episode. Loved the light atmosphere, and the more sensitive atmosphere with Tomoya and his dad. Glad they could patch things up.

Nice to see Fuko again, although I remembered being very bored with her arc in season 1.

And why the heck does Tomoya not remember Fuko and vice-versa??????? COME ON!!!! Like, I would have assumed that if they saw each other in person again, that they might have remembered something, geesh

Yet again this was another beautiful and emotional episode, I love the way Okazaki sent his dad off and Ushio got to meet more people in her family. I really like how complex Okazaki and his father's relationship is and I appreciate the way it developed from the first season until now. Overall I gave this episode a 5/5 rating

Ah another tear-jerking episode. I've been waiting for this since Season 1, the day when Tomoya reconciles with his dad.

And lol Fuko is back, I was anticipating her remembering that time she spent with Tomoya, Nagisa and others in highschool but oh well. I'm glad she's all better now, still kind of a kid, huh?

Sanae-san is one strong woman.

Can this anime get any more sad than this?
