That aint a nice thing to say...
U should not judge other people like that, they like her as she is NOW...
AKA people like her current personality/character, without yet knowing any background story... They have not failed at judging !!!

I think it's not really a matter of judging, but the impression we get. I had the impression that she wouldn't be interesting, but I was wrong.

Yeah well, you've been through a lot of Fuko episodes and she's grown on almost everyone. I don't think it's a fair thing to say that you'll probably not like this or that character if you haven't even seen one episode dedicated to that character. But that's just me.

I'm pretty sure that Kotomi will be my favorite character.

This was also the funniest episode by far. A nice break after the sad ending of Fuko's arc.

Baseless speculation but I believe Ryou plays an integral part in Kyou's arc...There was a subtle hint in the episode by Kyou, try to find it =P

Well, that much is a given. BTW, I've yet to judge the arc itself, it's just the vibe I'm getting from the preview. There's a lot of both Kotomi and Kyou after all. I find Kyou far more interesting than Kotomi right now, although it is nice Kotomi actually grew a little more personality other than "weirdo sitting at the library reading books all day".

Kotomi is so damn cute. The hug between her and Tomoyo-kuma was awesome! I'm definitely looking forward to Kyou and especially Tomoyo's arc after this. Heh. But yeah, Kotomi is way cute. The jokes, the bully bit and stuff were great. And Fuko was not forgotten! The episode confirmed to me that she really was forgotten by everyone though (including Nagisa and Tomoya). I was wondering about that at the end of episode 9 since it was sort of left ambiguous (although leaning towards she's forgotten).

I'm assuming right now that Kyou likes Tomoya but she probably has a complex of not being ladylike or whatever and she seems to be helping her sister out instead who may also like him.

I'd guess some judge based on the game experience.

@Akaraxle

From your previous post, it doesn't show that you have any previous experience with the game at all. Anyway, most of us here are entering the world of Clannad as virgins (just wanted to use the word). If you have played the game before, try not to make comments that can potentially spoil the story for us.

Kotomi is getting a lot of love...how can you not like a moe~ character?
MADNESS!!!

Don't feel stupid. ^^ It's a Japanese culture thing. The boke/tsukkomi (funny man/straight man) style of comedy.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manzai

The tsukkomi usually carries a harisen (those giant paper fans) to hit the boke with whenever he says something stupid. If you've seen Full Metal Panic, Kaname whacks Sousuke with it many times. Kyou instead kicks Tomoya in the face. ^_^

Konata and Kagami from Lucky Star are a similar Manzai duo.


oooooooh ok I see it now, never seen FMP but a few others come to mind with the same thing. Thank you for clearing that up! *goes to re-watch that part*

I think you misunderstood me there :P

Correct, I haven't played the game before; I'm as virgin to Clannad as you and totally loving it! What I meant to say is that some of those people, here or around the Internet, saying that they don't like Kotomi before the anime arc even started might have based their opinions on the game.

Myself, I like Kotomi a lot so far :)

You can't hate moe...you just can't!!!

I think Kotomi is just one of those characters that you prefer over the main one (Nagisa). Of course Tomoyo is also cool, but she is not moe~ enough compared to Kotomi-chan~ xD

Am I the only one who pretty much adores Nagisa? XD

Anyway, Kotomi's arc...hmmm...looks good for now. I really liked how Tomoya took it up to stand up for her and help her become more social, even if she didn't ask for it at all. (Wait, isn't it a bit obnoxious then? Oh well. XD) I must say that I was pretty much dissapointed with the violin scene. I mean, I expected her to start playing a piece from Vivaldi (Or whatever other violin composer comes to mind), in stead, she's shredding the whole thing...

No matter, I'll see how it works out. I do hope there'll be a bit more TomoXNagi fluff though <3~

You aren't alone, I find Nagisa so cute. Plus it's obvious why Tomoya feels a bond with her. She's like him ways, but also posseses what he lacks and yearns for (a normal family life). Plus, her family is so damn charming and quirky, you can't help but love them all.

Great episode XD

Favourite part's were whenever Kotomi would be hugged she'd blush and her Moe-ness would reach level's well over 9000.

I really need a screen of the Tomoyo-Bear / Kotomi hug scene xD I guess I'll get it myself after I'm done episode 12.

Oh and the REZOMBIEEEEEE! hahaha.

IRC:
<_ViM_> REZOMBIE
<Don`tMoveIGotARezombie> I wonder if it's supposed to be a weapon of some kind?

lolol. Oh and as for Kyou... uh, I went the whole episode thinking that Kyou was trying to set up Ryou with Tomoya...? Why didn't I get the Kyou x Tomo vibes? o_O

Violin scene, like someone else said, I expected her to either being really good or horribly bad haha.

ONTO EPISODE ELEVEN! REZOMBIE!

hugging tomoyo-kuma ftw~ too bad tomoyo didn't say anything this episode.

i was gonna say the intelligence average of the girls in clannad seems to be lower than Kanon and Air at this point, despite Kotomi's genius status since she acts as dumb as Fuko did. However I was corrected and now I say she's just eccentric and/or socially maligned. never thought I'd say this but we may need more girls who have more self-esteem than Fuko and Kotomi are providing. Those two were always my least favorites from the game...too bad KyoAni decided to start with what I thought were the weaker two arcs, who knows how many people dropped the show already without getting to the awesomeness of Tomoyo and Kyou.

Who knows if we will ever "see" Tomoyo's arc even. Maybe they will make up for it and do a TOmoyo OVA or something?

I hope, but I don't see how they will be able to develop her as intensely as all other four characters have been so far. Now, if they do the same trick they are doing with Kyou and begin introducing her arc early then they could pull something off. I'll give them a chance. They have been pretty spot-on so far.

Good episode, I can't really see where they're going with it now, but I like Kotomi, so it should be good. And atleast, Okazaki and Nagisa are still trying to remember Fuko, I just hope they do bring her back at some point...Urahara Out!!

Really like the beginning of this episode. Looked really pretty with all the great animation, art and music. Then the nice OP kicks in which is great. Then the rest of this episode is back to the boring Clannadiness with some cool jokes thrown in which don't really save this anime from being what it is - a total letdown.
