DravenIkae said: From a personal viewpoint, it's not a very "good" adaption, it's decent. (The game is superior, at least for this part. And for most other parts.)I didn't played the game but even if the episode is a good adaptation for the story in the game I have to say that they really could have done a better work So yeah, just sayin', just sayin'. Dunno why I'm just sayin', but yeah, I'm just sayin' after all. What, am I trying to defend this ova or something? Or is it the game I'm defending? Aahhh this is confusing. ┐('～`；)┌ |
| Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile. Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(ﾟДﾟщ) Nope™, probably not. |
| I really like how they can fit a whole route into one episode, not every show can do this. Again, my major complaint is the use of the OP (seriously, just leave it out and insert more scenes, it just doesn't feel right). I really feel sorry for Ryou though, no matter what happens, she can't be with Tomoya, poor girl. I didn't see the hair switch coming, it was a nice idea. And also Sunohara freaking out about what kind of problem Tomoya has was great. 5/5 a moving story of a love triangle, KyoAni delivered once again. Can't wait to play the VN now. |
| Sigh Kyou looked better with long hair. It think Tomoyo's chapter was better because this is about Kyou and Ryou and it ended so quickly . it would have been better iff there was another episode :/ |
| Pretty bad episode.Was looking forward to it but Ryou actually had more screentime...They should've named it Ryou Chapter instead. |
| Enjoyed the Tomoyo chapter more but thats just personal preference. ^_^ Kyou too busy worrying about her little sister to find her own happiness. Was quite touching, shed a few tears. Not as much tears as the Tomoyo arc though. Either way my eyes are dry as hell!! |
| Kyou x Tomoya is much better than Ryou x Tomoya.. But I still prefer Nagisa. :3 |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| It wasn't as good as I expected it to be. Ryou had me worried when she was talking about she would grow her hair out, be more aggressive and take cooking classes. I surely thought she was about to come undone. |
 |
| I'd say it was a bit rushed. But for a 24 min ep, it's still good. Is it me or just this is the only ep where Tomoya got kissed and it's not only once but twice and what's more interesting it's from the twins!! The practice kiss scene in the park is just too sweet. >.< At first, I dislike short haired Kyou but in the end, I think she still look good. Damn, if only my HS life was filled with some love memories :( Great ep. 8/10 |
| Tomoyo's chapter was better, in this one everyone felt way out of character, except for Sunohara. My favorite character has always been Kotomi... she was overshadowed by the others =( |
 |
| Ryou's dub really was good in this. I really wish she had more speaking parts throughout the series now. I just hated how everyone said her name... it was almost like they skipped the R- in her name. |

| Awe that was so cute! i can't believe Kyou resorted 2 Sunohara! haha they do make a cute couple though... i kinda like the other girl's storied with Tomoya... sometimes... better than Nagisa's... maybe idk i like change once in a while... it's cute 2 see how it would turn out... poor Ryou though... she seemed so happy! but i think she made the right choice ^^ she'll find a better guy! anyway great epi! =D |
 |
| Love triangles. Urgh! Liked this extra, felt is had a bit more depth than the Tomoya arc extra! Plus I always did like Kyou! |
 |
| Was cute, liked Tomoyos chapter better though. |
| Tomoya was a bit out of character in this one. Its a shame really, because in the first series, one gets the impression that out of all the other girls, Kyou was the only one with a shot (he did think of her when asked about a girl he'd like to be with in a locker). Anyway, it was cool to see them together. |

| I hope people realize Kyou cut her hair to trick Tomoya and test his true feelings. It's not like she did it to look cute, and Tomoya even comments that it's a shame she lost her long hair afterwards. |
 |
| Maybe this was already said but what was the song playing in the beginning? |

Yeah, it's a shame the anime kinda skimped over that, I was like "OMGWTFBBQ where'd that epic hair goes!!! Q_Q" when it was cut. Haven't done her arc in the VN yet so maybe I'll get an actual explanation |
| I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!! I dropped Clannad 'cause I didn't like Nagisa, but Kyou is really really awesome, I love that they ended up together <3 |
 |
| This was cute, but I prefer Tomoya with Nagisa really |
Sakume said: I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!! I dropped Clannad 'cause I didn't like Nagisa, but Kyou is really really awesome, I love that they ended up together <3 The same here, but after this episode i rewatched the original. Kyou ending is better for me cause i like her character. But i also agree that this episode was too short and it seemed rushed because of it |
 |
| This was WELL WORTH the watch. Kyou! She's too cute for words. I do like Nagisa but I have to admit, Kyou is quite a bit more "interesting". Too bad Ryou, you can't be something you're not. |
CharbbyLoves said: Also, Kyou, Y U NO STAY LONG HAIR? There Are Some Ways To Realize Tomoya's Feelings Than Cutting Your Hair And Disguise As Your Twin Sister. D: Well that scene made it dramatic, thinking he was talking to Ryou and then suddenly she speaks and it turned out to be Kyou. I was pleasantly surprised. I watched this before playing the VN so I didn't have any expectations. It does feel rushed though but it was still very good and I'm satisfied since I like Kyou more than Nagisa. I just completed this route in the VN and I understand what people had been saying that it was rushed. But looking at the episode again, I thought it was very well done to squeeze in into 23 minutes. People have to high expectations. |
| Felt rushed. It should've been 2 episodes long, it would've went smoothly and nicely with more time. It was still very good though. |
| Aw man, I feel a bit betrayed here :S My most anticipated arc ended up being a bit of a disappointment =/ I'm not saying this was bad, it was pretty good, but it wasn't what I expected. Kyou's my favorite character too, so I'm even more let down by the fact... The Tomoyo arc ended up being better, in the end... 8/10, I'm glad I watched this through but I would've wanted something different ^^ Even though I was already expecting it, even despite that this arc focused too much on Ryou, not that I have anything against it, but still... This arc needed more time towards the end, and more Tomoya x Kyou >< |

sonicspin said: The quality of the episode was as high as the rest of the TV series. The episode's directing however, felt a bit too rushed (though they only have one episode to adapt this.) This. I liked the episode way more than I expected. I couldn't have guessed that Ryou would get involved, but the episode would totally suck otherwise. Actually Kyo turns out to be way more interesting character than she appears to be in Clannad Season 1. And Ryou actually won my respect too. Back then, in S1 I felt like she was knowing that her sister loves Tomoya too but I wondered if I'm right, because I wasn't sure that she'll intentionally behave this way, knowing she'll hurt Kyou. But as it seems, Ryou turned out to be the one who decided to take the initiative, even if it'll mean she has to be selfish for the purpose. She fought for her desire until the very last moment, while Kyou was the one to step back. Still waters run deep, as it seems. I was all out for Nagisa dating Tomoya, or Tomoyo, but well this episode surprisingly left a good... bittersweet taste in my mouth. 10/10. Edit: Specially for Sunohara, I almost forgot about him. Once again he did great, the anime just wouldn't be the same without him. |

Luxuriia said: But he hates it because it focuses on Ryou a lot and guess what, the VN's path also focuses on Ryou a lot. The whole arc is basically a catfight between Ryou and Kyou and Tomoya being a scaredy cat who is afraid of hurting either one's feelings.Pyr0 said: Aw man, I feel a bit betrayed here :S My most anticipated arc ended up being a bit of a disappointment =/ I'm not saying this was bad, it was pretty good, but it wasn't what I expected.

| Debating on if it's a 7 or 8 out of 10. I generally liked it even if it was really cliche. Sa-chan_ said: Well, It Turned Out That Way Since Kyou's Wish Is Ryou's Happiness. That's Why I Want A Kyou After(Like Maeda Did On Tomoyo After) Since Kyou's Path Is Somewhat Fan-Disservice For Kyou X Tomoya Fans. Not Enough Sweet Moments For Them. Just wondering, Why Are You Typing Like That? |

| WOWWWWWWW!=OOO Jaw DROPS. THIS IS GOOD! |
 張大です for 張大勇督察 |
| It was a good OVA although I liked the Tomoya one better. Still enjoyed it. Now onward to the movie and then the VN! |

| what the fuck were ss-eclipse thinking by having karaoke to that ending song? first, it was sung in english. second, it was the most hilarious engRish ever. third, it completely killed the mood since i was too buys laughing at the lyrics to get involved in the lovey dovey bullshit. karaoke is unnecessary and always has been |
| I want MOAR spinoffs!! I've completely loved everything Clannad, even when it was poorly executed. All the characters are amazing! Tomoya is finally a male lead that isn't a bumbling shy/nervous wreck; Kyou's too fun and very bold; Tomoyo is so self-righteous and dedicated, but still has the time of day to wake Tomoya up in the mornings; and Nagisa... she... has awesome parents XD. It might even be dangerous how closely I've connected myself with these characters o.o |
| Kind of cliche compared to After Story. Didn't really care for it but I would probably think differently if I wasn't comparing it. |
| Great episode! 8/10 |
| This is what i needed in the original,these OVAs are amazing. So this is what i expected in the Clannad a relationship between Okazai with Tomoyo or Kyou.I'm glad that they made this ovas,i love the way it's different from the original anime... Because i prefered other girls to be with Okazaki (Tomoyo or Kyou),don't know why but i think it would be better,i'm not saying that Nagisa is bad,but that's my opinion. Didn't expected Kyou to cut her hair /: It was sad watching Ryou crying,but she really loved him. Somehow i understand Okazaki,he was confused,because they were very similar,and he was unable to chose,so Ryou asked him first he said yes,but if it was Kyou he would also say yes.But i prefered Kyou,her long hair was very georgeous ^^ That kiss in the end was epic :3 The ending of these ovas are better that in the series :D 10/10. |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| lol at Sunohara " People would kill to have your problem" he deserved a bro fist there. :) Loved the happy ending. Kyou was extremely cute. ( My money is on Nagisa though) |
| I found to be very enjoyable even if it has some major flaws. I do prefer the execution of the Tomoyo chapter but as a character I prefer Kyou as a character only slightly over Tomoyo. So what I'm trying to say is that if I was Tomoya I would chose Kyou over every other female character in the series. |
| Sup People and yes I am the physical manifestation of Shinji Ikari's Balls And this what elite-sama says to incest elite-sama said: I'm against it because I don't have a sister. It's not fair. |
| I slightly preferred this to Tomoyo's arc, only because it showed development of a few more characters. Kyou was always the one I think Tomoya would have ended up with if he didn't meet Nagisa - they work well together and I think this episode showed that. Enjoyable episode, but Tomoya x Nagisa is still my favourite. |
| I really like both Kyou and Tomoyo as characters which is why im so disappointed in the whole clannad series seeing as they were tossed aside a lot of the time for nagisa... (god damn her). This episode would've been way better if they didnt include so much ryou time, it felt like kyou didnt even get much time to develop with tomoya, not as well done as the tomoyo chapter |
| Great OVA! I don't know if anyone is with me on this, but, I like to see what it would be like if Kyou and Sunohara were together, I think that would be interesting! 10 out of 10. |

wheatleyscience9 said: Hahahaha as do I! i definitely liked the kyou ova more than about 99% of the entire series. it was well done. my one qualm would be that it was a tad rushed. if they made it 2 or 3 episodes it would've been flawless. Regardless though: for what its worth, they did an amazing job of putting in what they could for the 23 minute slot and were fairly effective in capturing some of the key points of it with atmosphere "albeit some other significant parts were nowhere to be found in the episode" but still: great. one of the few episodes i can rewatch without getting bored or losing a sense of impact. 10/10 for me. actually one of my 5 favorite episodes in the series as well. Kyou was always one of my favorite characters and seeing the ending was great with kyou and tomoya happy and seeing kyou hold on to him with that happy look and saying she loves him after the kiss...yeah! a very great ending. definitely better than the main one thats for sure. The reason i liked this so much is because it was very plausable. there were affections from kyou toward tomoya even in the main series "they knew eachother longest as well", plus they had the most chemistry with their fun and witty interactions so this paring seemed logical and right because well...damn! those 2 just really click well together. they're fun and tease eachother and are cute and expressive and open....not at all like the akward, caretaker, yet still affectionate (?) complex with nagisa. "Who mustve gotten ushio from the stork because they slept under different blankets and never kissed either hahaha" plus im certain a kyou+tomoya baby would be the most gorgeous child in the existence of animation hahaha. All in all: a very satisfying conclusion to a great series. smite me with lightning "or a 1000 kick combo" for saying this: but i liked this arc way more than tomoyo's. sure hers was done very well but like....nothing plausable couldve led up to it. like there was no indication they liked eachother or had chemistry prior to the ova...so no matter how well it was presented: i couldnt get into it because it seemed too unbelievable. Well thats just me and my 2-thousand cents. "Might as well post this as an official review haha" This. This. And this. Sorry I quote all of what wheatleyscience9 wrote, but I agree with him in like 99%. Kyou's my favourite, just ahead of Tomoyo, so I kinda regret this episode is not so well developed compared to Tomoyo's OVA. I knew it was going to be somewhat strange seeing the first scene and Ryou's confession. The creators probably would do Kyou more justice if they did separate episodes for the two sisters but then again Ryou has been a marginal character throughout all the series, so yeah... And this is exactly why I don't feel my thirst for Kyou has been quenched lol. She totally deserved more airtime. At least the same Tomoyo received. Otherwise it all feels pretty rushed. But the biggest WTF moment award goes to Kyou's hair being cut! I was like NOOOOOO!!!1!!11 Other than that I really appreciate the two OVAs since the two girls are way more interesting and appealing than Nagisa IMO. |

Haha couldn't agree more, considering Kyou actually has flair in her personality and is interesting to watch, she gets nothing close to what she deserves. At least Tomoyo has the after visual novel which adds a bit of depth to that which is nice, Kyou however gets no more than the one OVA which isn't even fully centred on her :( |
| Tomoya is kinda a nub. I would've stuck with Ryou just because of the realization that if I picked Kyou, there would come a point where she would become comfortable enough in the relationship to beat my ass every time I did something she didn't like. Tomoya must be a masochist or something. |
