Clannad ~After Story~ Episode 3 Discussion

But I don't know that Sunohara actually likes her, or rather, just the idea of being with her. He doesn't pay attention to her needs, he just depends on her and is flattered at being with her because of who she is.

This is going to turn VERY dramatic,trust me [you'd know if you have played the visual novel :P ]

I'm so sick of seeing Mei. I just don't like her for some reason. And I can't believe Sanae is still going along with all of this. They should know better. Sunohara has obviously wanted a girlfriend for a long time and this as clearly gone beyond pretend before it ever really started.

And to everyone that's saying that Mei has feelings for Tomoya or Tomoya has feelings for Mei obviously didn't watch the episode every closely. They went out to have fun and PRETEND they're siblings because Mei's brother is being a douche. Tomoya only said that they were going out because he thought that of all things that should get a reaction from Sunohara since any NORMAL brother would have a problem with that.

I can't wait for the next episode. I want to see how this arc ends and who's up next.

It's really difficult to prove something to someone who has as little understanding as you. What Wasabi said is what happened, and you just don't understand it. Because of your lack of understanding, you take everything literally, even the jokes, so you have a skewed perception of what happened.


He knows that Mei just needed someone to be a brother to him, because THE ANIME SAID SO, and his behaviour and reaction is just for comedy.


The joke is that Akie IS stupid.


The misunderstanding won't happen with Nagisa because she's in on it as well. The anime is setting up for a misunderstanding with Sunohara, not Nagisa. It says it clearly.


Another example of your lack of understanding. Wasabi said the game has already ended, because the misunderstandings have already piled on.

I doubt you'll understand anything I say, because either you have dyslexia or you're just dense. Anyway, I tried to make it as simple as possible.

When did Sunohara become such a big wuss? They really have to give us a good reason for this or it could be a very bad sign. :(

I had some respect for Clannad I, but this is rapidly becoming something DISTASTEFUL. I understand that Japanese culture is very f*cked up in many relationship/gender aspects, and people have a BLATANT DISREGARD FOR THAT THING CALLED age and non-pedophilic behavior, but applying this to an anime is crossing some lines that are better left uncrossed.

Seriously? Sanae playing girlfriend to someone young enough to be her son (and for no rational reason whatsoever)? And Nagisa going along with it? (Granted, she essentially has no personality/guts) And more than all that, WTF with Okazaki turning into a molestor with Mei? WHO ELSE IN THIS WORLD WOULD COME UP WITH SHOWS where severely underaged girls are just stuck into situations like that, and act completely beyond their age? This show's staff better get their act together and stop fapping to children.

And the site explicitly states that the Garbage Doll and "mystery girl" are to be main characters. Well, WHERE ARE THEY? What's the point of wasting time on them, if no story/philosophy is ever going to surface?

Also, what's with Sunohara's sudden personality change? Now they're trying to give the comic-relief character TRAGIC DEPTH? What? The actual plot doesn't suffice to entertain?

Disappointing. Terribly.

Iriya said:

Wait. Who said the comic-relief character has to stay the comic-relief character? What, he can't actually have his own problems now?

That "Onii-chan" scene I really loled there so funny :D Tomoya's clothes so awesome <333333

Gotta love Clannad. Funny moments, a serious story - and everything's wrapped up so nicely. I enjoyed every second of this episode.

Cinnamonsylph said:


Well, there's no law book anywhere that would ever deny a comic-relief character's right to develop some alternative personality. My point is that it's poorly executed on very skimpy premises:

Anime director + staff's desire to generate borderline inappropriate humor/fan attention with Sanae playing some moe schoolgirl --->

Arc in which the main characters suddenly develop some concern for Sunohara and Mei, and come up with a completely immature scheme to trick the latter by getting Sunohara a "girlfriend" --->

Sunohara suddenly has background story involving soccer (after having shown no athletic inclinations whatsoever in Season I, wtf?) --->?

Arc of emo BS (?) and borderline pedophilia (I frankly don't give a shit whether it's pretend/in joke or not) BAD TASTE is BAD TASTE

ALSO, can we please cut the filler? Sunohara's a supporting character. So far, the developments between even Okazaki and Nagisa (main) haven't quite gotten off the ground, and already they're diverging to a side character? Hello? There is a limit on the number of episodes they can produce.
