22 is the episode that concludes the Clannad story. Episode 23 is just an extra of Nagisa a year before she met Tomoya. It's like how it was in the last series.

I see. I just searched from Anime News Network. But what about ep. 24 (the one without title)? It's OVA?

I don't think there has been confirmation that there's even going to be an episode 24 and there's no air date announced for it yet. So if there is an episode 24 than it'll be an OVA.

Fuck lol i must be blind.

Great episode though it does bother me they got another episode after this. Its a fairly nice "ending" to the series. Unification of all the lights to grant Tomoya a wish to save Nagisa :D. Also I loved the montage of ushio growing up and the progress of all the former main characters and sub-characters.

I have to say that this episode had like 0 realism winding back time to save Nagisa, but I still loved it nonetheless. (I mean it's even less believable than the ending of Kanon 2006 lol).

A rating for the season: 8.5/10. The second half of the season saved me from dropping it all together since the plot was sorta sluggish. But I say it was well worth it to watch it all

9/10 for the entire series. Good but I thought Kanon 2006 was better

Yeah, she's Ushio. That's why the girl laying next to the tree turned into Ushio. They tried to build a Nagisa-looking robot in the first season, I always thought.

But, like aw. The part where he ran after Nagisa was just... beautiful. Him hugging her and knocking her shoe off and picking her up.

But still, wtf... no kiss. They never kissed! Why! Lol.

This episode concluded an excellent series. It wrapped everything up nicely and put a pretty blue ribbon on it. It was nice to finally see the happy family growing up together. The orbs and the illusionary world is finally explained.

yeah, i was thinking of the same thing... but what i wanna see the most.. probably its not going to happen is to see ushio going to high school wearing the same uniform nagisa used to wear.. i bet she'll be a carbon copy... but what i really really wanna see or in this case hear.. is ushio calling nagisa "mama".. i mean we heard her calling tomoya papa.. how about mama........... and for some reason, i sort of miss ushio's voice

If you mean the song at the "end" of the chapter, it's called Chiisana te no Hira

first: i am impressed and moved by the amount of people who have worked their asses off to learn this language

second: quite possibly the happiest episode of my life. i have played the game, i have listened to the drama cd's, im a clannad fanatic, and in the end, i feel that this episode, the episode that was to wrap up the entire story (and now you all understand why the dango daikazoku song is literally the conerstone of the show) did a fantastic job.

i will cherish this series for the rest of my life, bravo to kyoani for adeptly adapting the greatest love story ever told

So, I teared up/cried in like, six of the last seven episodes. I think I'mma have to trade in my dude card shortly. :(

That was a fantastic ending to a fantastic story though. I couldn't be happier. The montage of various Clannad characters as they grew up, as well as Ushio was awesome. Particularly Sunohara's inability to drive, and Kotomi. I was never really a fan of her, but dayam son, she be lookin good thar! Oh, and Kyou-himesama, but does she really need mentioning? I've also gotta say I loved the scene where Tomoya called out to Nagisa.

The entire Fuko part of the episode was purely ridiculous(and hilarious), but now I kinda get Fuko's statement about having Ushio's scent a few weeks back. What I don't understand, is how she has such keen scent... On a slightly similar note, I actually found it fairly amazing how many of the final events of AS were foreshadowed in the first season, and in of all the obvious places; the OP. From Ushio running through the sunflowers, to Fuko standing at the tree looking onward to Ushio/The Illusionary Girl.

The one thing I'm not clear on, did Tomoya remember everything that did happen and apparently got retconned? Or for all purposes did the last few episodes never happen?

This drops me off a the preview, and it looks like a good one. Back in the school days, and if I'm not mistaken it looks like the events leading up to and the meeting of Tomoya and Nagisa, however from her perspective. I can't wait!

Anyhoo, I'll be rewatching this quite a few times in the years to come. What a ride it's been.

10/10 (Yeah, I'm rating it before the final episode. What up?)

I think its quite gay of myself that i've litterly been crying for this anime, but is has so much and so good drama in it that no one can say i did not cry in it.

this anime is really the best i''ve ever seen so its really a 10/10.

I'am really gonna watch it over and over.

So it's like reloading from the safe file when you get a bad end, and everyone lives happily ever after.

But i'm not complaining since i enjoyed it, it is following the original game afterall. Most script, screenplay up till the ending (insert) song was the same but they made it much prettier. I had some laughs when they included one of fuko's special events into the ending too.

4/5

Overall, this series was good but i wouldn't say it's epic, the best was during the middle part of after story. Sometimes it's weird and i don't know what's going on but somehow it's very touching. Anyway, i'm glad i watched till the end, can't wait to see the special episode next week.

ヽ(´▽`)/ it's over!

Hmph, let's make some surreal activities and a happy end - well, it was KEY/VisualArts who made this story... and next episode will show us how everything began again? So officially Clannad has ended then.

Fuko goes ⑨ lol

Glad everyone is all safe n' sound, but the latter half was a slight disappointment. Not a big Fuko fan to begin with, but felt there should have been more with Tomoya, Nagisa, and Ushio. Instead of hamburgers and what she can or can't call herself. I know there's alot of Fuko fans so please don't slam me too much, just my thoughts.

Was a good ending and can't wait to see Nagisa's point of view next week...

Yay!! I loved the different versions of Nagisa's theme they included in the episode, finally got to hear Chiisana te no hira!! The scene with Tomoya hugging Nagisa was full of pure happiness too. And also.. YES! Fuko at the end was full of EPICNESS (and revelation!)!!

Wow.

Just... wow.

The music makes Clannad. Once the piano came in at the end of the Dream World sequence, I felt chills run down my back. God, they do it so well.

6:51 to 8:36 will be forever etched in my mind.

EDIT: Also, if someone scores the version of Chiisana Te no Hira that plays in the background for this scene for the piano, I will love you forever.

I couldn't have asked for a better ending, even if I predicted that there would be a perfectly happy ending after reading Ushio's character bio. Only thing is, what about Tomoya's dad? We didn't see him at his mothers house when they visited. Are they gonna leave him as a drunk who has a lot of shit to deal with for the rest of his life while everyone is happy? Or did I miss something?

It was a nice ending, made me cry a little during the part when Tomoya called out to Nagisa and ran over to her and hugged her. (note: I'm not a Nagisa fan, but it even made me teary-eyed lol)
I just didn't really understand the ending with Fuuko... when was she seeing Ushio there under the tree? Was it before all the events that happened or after? And what was the significance of that? I'm sorry if it's really obvious, but I just didn't get it :P

One word to descibe the anime as a whole. Beautiful. This show is a masterpiece, down to the music,the characters with their development and interactions with each other, the story, everything was spot on. Looking forward to episode 23, it's a shame the main story is finished, but it's nice to see what Nagisa's point of view of Tomoya.

Who reckons if theres an episode 24 it will be Tomoyo After?

Best Realistic(excluiding Clannad magic) Romance Anime I have seen by far.
Never seen a plot done so well. Through this series, I have both laughed and shed tears. Never seen any anime have a such hold on me. Clannad truly grips the audience unlike any other anime. Its sad to see it come to an end, but its not a anime that will be forgotten.

it was... ok... of course i like the happy end and all. but just simply make nagisas death never happened is so...
even though a nice ed, with some good fuuko scenes in the end.
so i think that 1st season is better. the school setting is more interesting for me.
but because its kyoani 9/10
