| Hated this episode. Someone please tell me what is gained by Ushio dying? We did this already. Nagisa becomes Tomoya's everything, Nagisa dies, Tomoya questions whether they ever should have met, deep depression, reunited with Ushio, Tomoya has a reason to live again. See, we don't need to do this again with Ushio. Nothing's going to be gained from it. Oh and the death scene, or "the poor man's "Goal!" What a travesty. I lost track of how much cliched death talk bubbled forth out of Ushio's mouth. "Are we on the train?" Good god, I never thought I'd see the day when Key got desperate to make its audience cry. That was just pathetic. Also, Tomoya's a fucking idiot for thinking it was okay to bring Ushio out there, regardless of it being "his only daughter's wish". So with this, I can conclude Key hates girls. All of them. All girls must suffer crippling anguish at their hands, no matter how cute or endearing they may be, they're all destined to an unspeakable tragedy. Thank you, Clannad After. I'm completely disillusioned now to your idea of moe. Thank you for smashing everything the last 10 episodes worked to build with little regard to the message of the story so far. This is the perfect example of a shit end. There's no way 22 can make up for all of this. |

Splitter said: Honestly, to each and every person who says something like this, quit being so pessimistic. You haven't even seen the damned episode yet, don't just assume they can't make a good ending. There's a whole 25 minutes of time they could do any number of wondrous things with, wait until Saturday to be so judgmental.This is the perfect example of a shit end. There's no way 22 can make up for all of this. |
    |
| Or you can let them be pessimistic and let them view it in their own way. That episode did set things up for a not so great ending. Maybe it'll be good maybe it won't but to each their own when they critique something like that. |
| Cmon, season 3! haha I would like to see Ushio survive, but then again it could turn out like Nagisa ;_; and yea, the double/triple/___ posting is a glitch my previous post i hit "post message" once but it came out twice Xrave said: what is the meaning of everything! It's 21 - second to last ending!! and they still hadn't explained the vast plane, the doll, the mysterious illness, the light orbs... you should play the game |
| i dont know if i've ever wanted to cry so much from 1 single anime.. sunflower scene got me and nagisa's death now ushio................ but mostly the sunflower scene. i couldnt bear it. WTFFFFFFFFFFFF if tomoya did get that light of happiness that ushio saw doesnt that mean he can make a wish for ushio? if it comes from the deepest desires of his heart? cuz it did land in his chest and there was also the snowflake that melted in his heart. foreshadow? also if "deep connections" thing about the alternate worlds theory is true, doesnt it have to do with the wishes that tomoya and akki made? |

For those that haven't played the game have no clue as to what orbs, doll, and girl vice versa. They only briefly mentioned it once I believe about an alternate world. To throw all that in one episode is a shame, if they go that way.... |
| It is mentioned briefly about 4 or 5 times through season 1 into 2, explained a little more in depth in season 2 (by Misae and Yukine), and then the illusionary world is explained a bit (theory wise) by Kotomi in the first half of ep 16. |
| Everything about the Illusionary World will be explained in chapter 22. This is what happens in the game (spoilers obviously): |
 |
| after losing my comments about this episode due to the server crash, i will try to resurrect my old post: i dont think ushio died in this episode, because all we saw is that she lost consciousness. well, that "papa... daisuki" gave me the final blow, i was deeply depressed for the rest of the day. damn this show is like a roller coaster of emotions.......... this show is on the same level of making me suffer, like Air did. no wonder both are made from the same coldhearted companies... >_>" |

Oh man, I finished this ep last night and I'm still all depressed about it. Hurry up, SS Eclipse Subs for #22 |

| one of my favorite series i'll never forget it though it doesn't come until later but it's just so sad X/ |

Miertje86 said: Same hereAnother tear jerking episode for me, but I'm still hoping for a good ending. |
 |
| Well this episode could very well be a sad ending for this Tomoya's long and painful journey. The episode was amazing, I kinda predicted what would happen when Tomoya took Ushio out... "Do you like snow, daddy?" *tears* |
 |
| Nagisa's death didn't even make me tear up so you can imagine what Ushio's death did - nothing =/ That said, Clannad did a nice job trying to make me cry. Even Air made me tear up a bit. |
     |
| T_T Ushio! |
| Wot, doublepost |

| Poor Tomoya! He's going to hang himself or something after this...I'm sad Ushio died like that, I was kind of hoping we'd see her grow up... |
 |
| It was sad...but not as sad as when Nagisa died. Me thinks it's because it was so sudden with some quick foreshadowing. Come to think of it...it kinda felt like the end of Air. |
 |
| This show is a lesson in how to break a man. |

| Wow how much can Tomoya withstand, so many people die in his arms. What the, final episode? I thought 23 was final and 24 was the special episode. Hate that this show is finished soon. |
     last.fm ╢ My CG AMV ╢ Otaku Test ╢ |
| Wow, just when I thought it couldn't be any more sad after Nagisa died and then this happens. I dunno what Tomoya did to deserve all of this... just wow. |
| I've accidentally opened a spoiler and already expecting this even when AS haven't aired yet.. But... Didn't expect it to be straight forward... This will be like Higurashi from now on... |

nihil said: do they all have to die in tomoya's arms? ;____; poor guy. Indeed. ;_; Arrggh.. I refuse to believe this. Why must everybody die? |
| WELL! fuck Tomoya's life! |
| This episode made me cry......big time. When they steped out of the door, i was like "no.no.no.no!" and then i cried when she died and Tomoyas eyes went O.O |
!Damn, im HOT today! :D! |
| guys can anyone confirm at 19:07 i saw a person on the 1st floor..or maybe not |
Live well - Laugh often - and Love much |
| Poor Tomoya. |
zinvince said: guys can anyone confirm at 19:07 i saw a person on the 1st floor..or maybe not There was definately someone. A male. Looks like either Yoshino, Tomoya or his father. |
| Yeah, the scene at the snow was very sad. As for the person being at 19.07, yes, there was someone there. I think it was Yoshino Yusuke. |
| Fear the finger of death |
| A bad chapter,coz it makes me close to cry a lot . I can't believe it ! Why must be like that?? |
I haven't got the main purpose of life.Have you? |
| Oh the pain was greatest when we realized Ushio was also going to die. It's like Tomoya suffered so much, and made so much progress, only to have it all lost. Ouch. |
| Fear the finger of death |
| Hm that scene when Ushio and Tomoya walked together in the snow kinda reminded me of the scene at the beginning, where the girl and her doll walk together in the snow ^^ |
Destiny~  |
| I thought so too. Glad it wasnt just me who thought so. |
| That happens in 1 time,but in different world . But,it was changed when the girl in illusionary world told to the garbage doll that she will not be in there again . |
| I haven't got the main purpose of life.Have you? |
| NOOOOO, freaking.....Nagisa, Ushio... But more importantly, poor Tomoya. |
 |
| Ushio died.. I couldn't believe it. It's like fate is just taking a crap on Tomoya. Everytime he achieves happiness, that person dies. Man.. |

| Wonder how many more people are going to die that mean something to Tomoya =/ |
 |
| Poor Tomoya . I never imagined if his life could be happened in true life . I mean,someone in this world has the same life like Tomoya . TTwTT |

| Fear the finger of death |
| You're looking at it with the wrong angle. Ushio was going to die anyway, sooner or later, and Tomoya knew that deep in himself. After loosing Nagisa, he could not bear to loose someone else so dear for him, and so he decided to take the only last chance he could see to save Ushio (and him), that is going back the the sunflowers' field (he was in a very bad shape at that time too, there are some clues about it during the episode, and we see him dying just after Ushio). You can't blame him, everything else failed before, he just didn't know what to do. |
