| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Basic BAWWWW episode. Not as bad as when Nagisa died, but it was still sad. ;A; |
 |
| To be perfectly honest I did not like this episode. When Ushio seemingly died or at least passed out I was just WTF? Not a good WTF like ga-rei zero or Higurashi I can't believe that just happened WTF just a "why? over done unnecessary drama WTF? The whole episode was just slow and that I have no idea how they're going to bring it together to make a cohesive ending in one episode frustrates me. The fact that there was not nearly enough Fuko or Kotomi this season also pisses me off but I'm not going to get nitpicky. I think maybe I'll watch episode 18 again so all will be forgiven. |

| well, it's been a while since i watched it, so the sadness and tears have gone away for the most part, but still... Ushio. Now we just have to wait for the finale and many revelations. so_addictive said: As for that, it's called after story for a reason, It's supposed to be the story of Tomoya, Nagisa, and Ushio.To be perfectly honest I did not like this episode.

| I can't remember the last episode that didn't make me cry. One to go, and as much as I love this series I'm not sure I could take any more! |
| Man wtf man, *goes to the local park and roundhouses everyone in sight.* Pretty sad episode, man ED could of at least changed for this ep too lol. Last moments of Ushio were cute. |
 |
| This was a sad episode. For some reason it didn't have as strong of an impact on me as when Nagisa died. I really hope that the next episode can rap up the rest in a good way. I don't even know what to expect next episode. I would like to see more of the imaginary world and such. If there ever was a very extremely bad time to play Torch, that was the time. I think the ending this time really ruined the episode for me. It would have been really cool if they had Ushio sing Dango Daikazoku. I would have cried if they did. |
  |
| Ushio died, and apparently the world "ended"... A sad end no matter how you look at it. Awww and I thought there would be more. Next episode's named after the predecessor of the Dango Daikazokou song by the way. Sad endings are usually more interesting anyway... |
| Just when I thought it could get any sadder it got sadder... sob* Do wonder what Tomoya is going to do after this... |
| next episode was named as "Final episode" @ preview and anidb says total 22 episodes >.< |
| 20px!!!! |
| sigh. do they all have to die on tomoya's arms? ;____; poor guy. |
逃げちゃ駄目だ。 |
| Well, there are those orbs of happiness or whatever and they could cause a miracle to happen to save Ushio. Also, there is the place where Akio took Nagisa when she was little and horribly sick. Maybe Tomoya will take her there? And there's a hospital there now so, that doubles the chance of Ushio being saved. Of course, maybe I'm just really hoping for a happy ending for Tomoya. >_> |
| What did Tomoya do to be punished that hard.....hopetheres a happy ending |
| Such a sad episode. Here's to a happy ending. Is ep 22 really the last? |
     |
| I never imagined that they would go for an ending like this. T_____T I hope that maybe Ushio will be saved somehow. Before this episode I was kinda hoping for Nagisa's return but I guess that won't happen. Oh Clannad. ColdBeans said: Sort of. Story-wise, yes. But there will be an episode 23 which will show the events one year before the current events.Is ep 22 really the last? |

| One of the worst directed episodes of Clannad, i didn't like this episode at all, it was supposed to be all tear-jerking and saddening etc... but instead i found it utterly ridiculous. Now i hope Tomoya dies in the last episode and i will remember this season with disappointment... |
   |
| I really loved this episode. And I don't think you noticed but at the end Tomoya collapsed and possibly died as well .. basing what I'm saying on the way he acted the whole episode. He was not healthy, not healthy at all. I love Clannad, it's great that they manage to move me so much. |
 |
| Butterflies. I see Air ending repeating itself. |
 |
| If that really is the end of the story like cyruz says then i applaud them doing what other shows cannot/will not do and that is tactfully kill off main characters. As sad as it was, it was different and unexpected (to some degree). kikoushi said: One of the worst directed episodes of Clannad, i didn't like this episode at all, it was supposed to be all tear-jerking and saddening etc... but instead i found it utterly ridiculous.

Aside from being a bit rushed, i really didn't see anything too wrong with the episode. i sense such disdain and yet i can seem to figure out why. |
 |
| how sad. poor Tomoya.. I hope this ends well.... |
     |
| KEY certainly loves UNKNOWN ILLNESSES and sick moe characters, don't they? They did it with Shiori and Makoto in Kanon, Misuzu in AIR, and now Nagisa and Ushio. I mean, certainly, they make excellent moe characters, but the sick girl plot seems slightly overdone by now. We definitely need more Mysterious Girl and Junk Doll scenes, since well, the Mysterious Girl is amazing and the animation quality seems to shoot up for those. KET has always managed a touch of surrealism, but I think those scenes nail it rather well. |
| Anyone here that has played the game and still remembers it? How accurate is the show in relation to the game? *Dusts off Clannad and reinstalls* D'oh, game's on my broken computer... <--- almost as sad as this series ;) |
   |
| Gosh this evil thing is killing me T.T I hate it. In a good way though. And I HATE Torch. In the BAD way ò.ó |
 |
| Wow, next week is the ending already? D: and once again the ED buttrapes the mood |
| Such a sad moment ... I feel sad for Tomoya who has to go through all this hardship... I told myself not to cry but it was too much. Last episode next week. I don't know what anime to follow after Clannad. It feels so empty when the series will be completed! :'( <3 |

| bit too predictable |
| 1:18 et vivus et fui mortuus et ecce sum vivens in saecula saeculorum et habeo claves mortis et inferni |
| It was predictable and nowhere near as sad when Nagisa died. That was a tearjerker, that made you go my god what have they done. This one didn't move me really like Naigsa's death which was unexpected and really emotional. This one was stupid and if you ask me unneeded. The fact she's very ill to begin with and he drags her outside in the winter just because she wants to go on a trip is asinine for a parent to do to begin with. But I do feel remorse for Tomoya. Life keeps crushing one bit of joy and happiness of his for no rhyme or reason. I am hoping for a happy ending cause this one has been a ball breaker the entire way through something good has to happen right? |
| Now that I am able to post, my goodness. I have that Air feeling all over again, I refuse to believe Ushio is really gone. This is very upsetting and depressing, ugh! |
 |
| Another tear jerking episode for me, but I'm still hoping for a good ending. |

I will seriously pull my hair out. |
martin03345 said: In the end, both Tomoya and Ushio knew that she didn't have any time left. Taking her on the trip was similar (both metaphorically and in execution) to the last scene with Misuzu in AIR TV. She wanted this one last thing, the only thing in the world she could think about, those happy times she spent with daddy. She wanted to relive them one last time, and Tomoya knew that it was better for her to get that chance than to just waste away in bed regretting that she never got to take another trip with him.It was predictable and nowhere near as sad when Nagisa died.

| We get it, quit spamming. >.> I'm considering skipping school just to watch this episode when it hits the web. I don't think it will have a bad ending, but I won't believe anything until I watch the episode. Thursday (or Friday) seem so far away.... |
Will I fall in love someday? I wonder? |

Metaphorical or not, even though that's obvious to see, it's still blatantly asinine. She is your child, you love her and want her to be better. Even though the chance of surviving might seem slim you can't lose hope and go out and do soemthing asinine like that. That's not good drama, that's not making one have to feel remorse for someone at least to me. That was a major screw up on his part that basically automatically damned her. On the other hand Nagisa didn't have a choice, she had no fault in it and was extremely touching to see her pain through child birth and trying to hold on when the outside circumstances absolutely were stacked up against her. That's good drama, that's a tearjerker. You'd have to have ice water in your veins and be a clinical sociopath not to be touched by that where with Ushio, it's Tomoya's fault for going out of his way to screw things up. |

Would be better than ushio magically surviving. Which i can see happening. I wouldn't be surprised if a good ending occured, personally. |
