Geez I wish Tomoyo had been the main girl.


Right back @ ya!!;) Tomoyo was always my fav girl, she was more fun and less up-tight in the anime though, that was too bad. I feel bad for Tomoya though, that he only held her back and got a lousy job :(
Pretty good , although a shame that it was only 20 minute-ish, would have been much better with more story to it !!

The whole time I was watching this, I constantly thought to myself.. "Why couldn't the main series have been like this?"

This OVA was great, more than great actually. More on the lines of fantastic, too bad it was only as long as a normal episode; would've made a nice 13-episode series.

The relationship between Tomoya and Tomoyo was much much better than the snail-paced relationship between Tomoya and Nagisa, which I found to be irritating and boring.

I am not much on Tomoyo, but I did enjoy this. Although it stayed almost too depressing all the way till like the last two minutes. But it was really good.

Now only if we could get more Kyou.

Not a Tomoyo fan but i enjoyed watching. Their story is so sweet but it had a lot of depressed Okazaki. 9/10 same as the series.
And as a NagisaxOkazaki fan i cant wait to see the after story :D

I'm really happy since I seen this in sub format now. Things really ended on the magical positive note I was waiting for. Despite all the difficulties Tomoyo and Tomoya overcome all their problems in the end! Yay! All there is left is I hope happiness comes to Fuko Ibuki in the after story!

well i thought it was just ok. as the humour wsnt there, tho the drama was gd, the animation excellent as well as the directed scene and pace. but i loved clannad mainly for the humour, which was completely cut off in this OVA/extra ep thingy. also, i NAGISA IS MADE FOR TOMOYO NO-ONE ELSE, hence i thought tht it somewhat spoiled the love between them two in the series for me. and because they were both together, their personalities were just tht slightly different, and so seemed like different ppl really. 8/10. (series i gave 10/10)

Which is why I refuse to read any of the mangas b/c I've heard of the tragic endings in some of them and will refuse to put myself through that.

i really liked this ova, but i was hoping for it to be based off tomoyo after, not the tomoyo route. however, now im thinking that since they did this ova and gave us the back story, wouldnt they now be able to animate tomoyo after without confusion? like what if this ova was just a gateway to a tomoyo after series? because they specifically picked tomoyo for the ova, even though kyou's route would have made a good ova as well since it wasnt covered in much detail in the show. if they made one, it would probably air after the After Story. but its just a thought.

or maybe they'll release another ova after After Story airs with tomoyo after in it?

i just really want that game to be animated lol.

This OVA showed Tomoyo's other personalities not seen in the Clannad Series. The story progressed well even if it's only one episode. The last scene was one of the best scenes I ever watched. It made my throat hurt for a bit. If this OVA was longer, I think I'll reach my limit for holding out my tears. Tomoyo crying moved me....

I think Clannad AS will do an excellent job. The OVA did very well.

qft.

But I think it would've been better if it was based off of the manga.
It would be gorgeously depressing..

Sweet mother of God...Kyoto Animations has finally done it...They have laid the foundations for a Tomoyo After OVA...It pains me to say this, but I think I'll offer my firstborn to KyoAni...xD

This episode alone was worth watching through 23 episodes of KyoAni trying to jumble 5 girls into one continuous series. Of course I'm completely bias about this since I prefer Tomoyo over Nagisa any day of the week, but seriously the episode has to be the best out of the previous 23.

I teared up when they broke up, almost cried when they reunited, and felt a sense of happiness when their separate paths finally intertwined at the end of the episode.

Think I'll go write a review...

I had those thoughts, too. Sometimes felt like two different characters with the same looks.

This would be one way (but I doubt it will happen). The more likely thing is that someone translates the Tomoyo game into English. There are already several groups doing Clannad, so why not one subbing the Tomoyo game. That would be wonderful.

I really can't understand why KEY doesn't bring out their games in English, too (for import).

pretty good but why'd they make it so sad. at least they got back together in the end. was kinda odd with just the 3 of them but an episode without nagisa was nice, I still think I'd prefer Tomoyo or Kyou to Nagisa.

The name of the series is Clannad which is Irish for family, but barely any of Okazaki's extended family was in it. It was okay I guess but I would've enjoyed if it had more of the others in it. Also the animation looked different, like it looked more Lucky Star like in places.

That's not necessarily true... Kyoto could choose to do an anime based on Tomoyo After now that they have a connecting episode.

However, if they do, I expect it to be a while, since Kyoto has quite a bit on their plate already, including Clannad After Story.

omg, so great... i love this show

now all they need is a kyou ending... heck, they can do pretty much the same thing - start the episode with tomoyo already going out with ryou, and then develop it into the kyou ending

by the way,

It really wasnt a story about family, but rather, the importance of family.
for tomoya, it was the conflicts that he had with his father, which heavily influenced him, and how with the help of his grandmother he was able to forgive him - also, his family later on and how his father's traits almost reflect onto him

It was interesting seeing Tomoya and Tomoyo as a couple. They are beautiful together<3 And I have a new appreciation for Tomoyo! She was really cool before, but now I like her a lot more ^_^

I missed everyone, especially Tomoya. Man, I love him. His seiyuu always does a great job<333
I must admit, while I wasn't expecting myself to, I totally cried at the end XD

Soooo amazing, I forgot how well-drawn, emotional, and simply beautiful this anime is. I can't wait for the next season of Clannad♥

Great ep. Loved it with all of my heart ^^
For me TomoyoxTomoya is the best ever.
And the "Lia" song went in just in time ;)
I was just furious when all of the world turned against them.
I mean I understand he was trying to let her realize her dreams but c'mon they should not have wasted those 8 months, there had to be other way (there allways is) and if there'd ended separata I'd be really dissatisfied however in this case I am really happy. Wise Tomoyo.
Btw. what the hell was it with" I will be happy that I once dated such a wonderfull girl" -> nasty '- -
Well all in all it has one SERIOUS drawback - they haven't kissed. Ouuuuu... I'd kill that glasses fu**er that allways interrupted them.
