| I cried from this episode It takes a lot for me to cry :[ |
 |
| I had to stop the episode, go downstairs, get tissues, and run back up. I've never cried this hard over an anime... |
 |
| In retrospect, a few months after watching this, I can safely say that this is the single best anime episode I've ever seen. |
| I cried twice in the end ;.; gosh I bet my mascara is messed up >.> gah! why does clannad have to be sooo good |
 |
| Best fucking episode on Clannad and Clannad AS. Made me cry like a pregnant woman. So fucking good. 10/5 |
| this is one of the best episodes in both seasons...WOW,how many great things happen in this one :) Tomoya realises what a jerk he was,and that his father was a good guy... also one of the most touching scenes ever is the scene with tomoya and ushio...Clannad is incredible Maeda Jun,you're a genius,hands down... 5/5 |

| God, I always cry whenever anyone sheds a tear in this anime. >< |
     |
| if someone tries to do a search of the word cry on this discussion he'll get hundreds of results. And yes, I also cried. I think it's just impossible for anyone that follows this Anime and doesn't have a cold heart to not cry. |
 Two animal rights protesters were protesting at the cruelty of sending pigs to a slaughterhouse in Bonn. Suddenly the pigs, all two thousand of them, escaped through a broken fence and stampeded, trampling the two hapless protesters to death. And they didn't even thank them, how rude! |
| This was a beautiful one. The best episode in after story. |
 |
| i love these touching, tear-jerking episodes |
 |
| Just couldn't hold back the tears to this one, this is the most moving anime I have ever seen and I doubt anything else will ever come close. |
  |
| Before I knew it the episode was over. I kept spacing out. |
| Damn tearjerker, I cried. T_T |
 |
| it's the best episode EVER! I'm glad I rewatched this serie! if anyone ask me which anime it's the most worthful to watch, I'll say it's CLANNAD! clannad is unique! |
| incredible. i sobbed. literally. his FACE when he brought up Nagisa was heartbreaking! |
  |
| Nagisa's death was just depressing. I hadn't cried since ep. 6 with Misae. But this ep., when he realized he was just like his father, and then proceeded to make peace with his daughter, was so emotional. I cried like I haven't in 5 years. It could just stop here. I hope the rest of the eps. are worthwhile (I've heard rumors other places that they weren't?). |
| This was the most touching thing I've seen in a very long time. There were many moments in the whole series that made me shed a tear or two - but oh man, the second half of this episode made me bawl my eyes out. For a moment I almost exchanged my manliness card, but it was damn well worth it. All other drama/romance anime wishes it was as good as this one. ;) |
 |
| Just loooooved this ep. T_T Ushio is so cute! ^.^ |
| This one was sweet. This was the first time I shed any tears during Clannad After Story. |
| Most tearful episode ever |
| Too touching. Even for a guy T_T |
 |
| Is it stupid that I cryed my eyes out while watching this episode? .... My face is still wet from the tears...lol |
| 💕 |
| beautiful and tearjerking ... |
 |
| I teared up up like the little baby I am T.T it was so nostalgic |
 |
| Beautiful episode. I cried so much when Tomoya remembers Nagisa on the train, its a heartbreaking scene. |
| wow *5 minutes of silence* wow While I'm still not sure if Clannad ~AS~ is the absolute number 1 of anime, this episode must be the most epic thing I've ever seen. I'm not gonna act tough; damn I didn't know I could cry this much. Though the plot itself isn't as sad as some previous moments from both seasons (------ Fuko's last moment at the wedding, Kotomi receiving her parents case, Nagisa finding her parents albums, Tomoya realizing he's graduating without his precious Nagisa, and the absolute number one: Nagisa's death (especially the next episode realizing she's gone for good) ------) all the emotions of Tomoya's past come rushing back in a deadly mix. From his youth 'til his own child. If this episode were a painting I'd buy the most beautiful and expensive frame to put it in and placed it against my best wall where everyone could enjoy it. "Sanae-san told me I can only cry in the bathroom... and in daddy's arms." This sentence will forever stay in my memories, it kinda sums up the previous 40 episodes (yes I'm counting both seasons). |
| Yes! I'm joining this epic thread of tears too, haha! :D Beautiful episode. After Nagisa's death I doubted I would cry this much again - but I was fooled. From the point of Tomoya's grandma reminding him of the past and good times with his father, to the ultimate moment of Ushio and Tomoya embracing eachother - I've cried. What struck me most was Tomoya's surprised face when Ushio told him "First thing papa gave me" - till that point, Tomoya must have believed Ushio dislikes him after all the years of neglection - in this moment of realization, I wonder how divine and blessed he must have felt. "My child wants to be with me, even now." Picturing that emotion, I cried waterfalls T__T The special thing though: They were tears that felt like cleaning my soul, being purified - they weren't tears of pure tragedy. I felt like understanding the true value of family and the beauty of life. Everyone in a family tries their best, even the seemingly worst parents have their struggle to overcome... the lesson is to never give up becoming the person you want to be, even when full of doubt. Embrace and treasure what you love - that's the key to salvation. And wow... thanks to After Story I feel like wanting children of my own. The peaceful family vacation with my little 10-year old brother was already inspring - CLANNAD is giving me the rest. A nice message KEY is inserting into the otaku world ^^ |
| This was a very cute and beautiful ep! Ushio is just so cute, and she remminds me of Nagisa so I don't feel so sad. I cried in this ep and a lot! When Tomoya remmembered Nagisa was really sad. |
| A really great episode, it's the first one which made me cry, even if there were at least two other episode which were at least as sad as this one (12 and 16). As it looks now Tomoya can enjoy life again =) |
| Very new Hetalia forum please help to get bigger =) http://hetaliahouse.forumeiros.com/ |
| A little bit of self-promotion here, but coincidentally, I just posted an "Anime of a Diary Lived" about this very episode. Go here if you're interested. |
| Beneath the Tangles: Where Manga Meets the Maker |
| Merushi, I think you hit the nail on the head - you don't have to have the personal connection I had to be overcome by the story. I think that's part of what's so special about it - it draws out emotions about events many have little connection to and gets people to think about them, and maybe even change. I'm glad to hear that the show had such an impact on you, because you're right about how life isn't easy after college. College is nothin' - it's easy compared to the real world, and many go into the real world without realizing how difficult it can be in so many ways. Tomoya's responses are sometimes selfish and sometimes seem overemotional - but they're very real in light of what he goes through. |
| Beneath the Tangles: Where Manga Meets the Maker |
| Yup, it's probably that real because Tomoya himself though life is just like a bus, you get in and sit down the entire road until the bus stops. In real life you have to walk or go by bike because you can't always take the bus, sometimes you have to do things on your own without letting things happen around you and just go with the flow. I also read people comment how they started to dislike Tomoya for abandoning his daughter and becoming like his old man. Again, this is as realistic as it can get. Wait 'til the same thing happens to you, how would you react? Could you live on with your daughter like nothing happened, without having a feeling of guild, if only you hadn't met your wife, she wouldn't have got pregnant, she wouldn't have died in labour. That's not the only reason; everytime he looks at his daughter he sees Nagisa. If you can't overcome the fact she died, could you keep looking at her face everyday? No wonder he doesn't want to be with his daughter: 1. Everytime he sees Ushio, she reminds him of Nagisa 2. He thinks he's the worst thing ever happened to his family, so how would he ever be a good dad fo Ushio? |
| Oh maan! The moment she hugged him and started crying I remembered something, it almost made me cry! Well...I kinda liked his atitude up till now. And the kid seems cool, but I don't have a good feeling about the rest. Uh it was the same with Okazaki. He was super mega cool at the beggining, but then in the afterstory he became a crybaby and all so emotional and stuff. I didn't like his new self. Now with the kid's the same thing. |

| i m sorry, but this episode alone its enough reason to make this anime the top anime |
leungclj said: i m sorry, but this episode alone its enough reason to make this anime the top anime Seriously! It's possibly my favorite episode of any anime I've ever seen...just incredible. TebiKEK said: I cried like a little girl. Again. What the hell is wrong with me? lol Join the club. ;) |
| Beneath the Tangles: Where Manga Meets the Maker |
| the ending scene was a real tear-jerker. |
| and out of nowhere i just started to cry... i haven't done this legitimately in years and this will be the first time that an anime has made me cry. |

| T_T... This episode was too beautiful.. Touched my soul in more ways than one. I can't believe I cried that hard even though I thought I was a tough guy :'( |
| Touching episode. Very emotional :'( The moment Ushio said "First thing from Daddy," I started getting teary. |
 |
| *Wipes 2 or 3 tears of happiness* Beautiful episode. "First thing from Daddy." hit me hard and the time Ushio said about "Daddy's arms" it hit me harder and when they started to hug and cry each other, it hit me hardest. This ep reminded me of how good my father is and felt guilty about being a bad son. :( Once again, beautiful ep. |
