I'm not much of a Nagisa fan but that part at the end was simply beautiful, romantic in a very pure way! Just perfect.

Anyway, I must say I'm suffering from the unsatisfying amount of Kotomi and Kyou screentime. Come on, 2 or 3 lines per episode simply aren't enough! I wonder if they'll even appear from now on :?

sad episode indeed -_-

i swear...Nagisa's exactly my type of girl :p,the only thing i don't like about her is her physical illness :(
it's like i just want to go inside the anime and give her a big hug lol

although i know how clannad will end(main thing) because of stupid youtube spoilers,it's so well made that you just...don't care:)

Kotomi is leaving!? Nooooo! :(

It'll be kinda sad without high school life anymore. Everyone will move on with their lives, and won't be able to get together like before. Oh well, I guess everyone will be happy in their own way. :|

Sad episode for me.
I didn't like how Nagisa is repeating her senior year with Tomoya moving on. Really got me all teary.
It also seems everyone is leaving. Kotomi, Kyou, Tomoyo, etc. :|
I can only predict a sad ending to this anime seeing how Nagisa is 'sick'.

this is such a sad episode...i can't belive i almost cried :'(...it's one of the saddest in both seasons i think,along with ep9,14(Clannad) and 4,6,8 and a few more from the future(AS)

Nagisa is feeling sick,Tomoya is suffering and it sucks you can't do anything but watch ;(

Everyone is such a good friend,the birthday scene was great...

the next episode will be awesome :D,ep 10 of the AS is one of my 5 favorites,maybe even in top 3 :-)

99999/5 ;)
Clannad's starting to become more and more clannad :-)

Seems like a fitting end to the series. Kinda curious what the remaining episodes will be about.

That shit with the girl and junkbot is getting annoying though. What the fuck is the point of it?

Why was he crying? he can always visit her, just because he can't go to school doesn't mean he can't see her again.

Awww....Sunohara got his job application rejected!

Wow, that last half of their academic year went by fast! And now they've graduated, what will Okazaki do? He doesnt seem like he'll find it easy getting a job. Hmmm...

The fun school days are over, now the daunting unendingness of adult life begins!

It's surely not my first time crying while watching anime (more than half of which was with Clannad) but I've never cried this much. I was literaly bawling for the entire second half of the episode. It was beautifully sad... I don't think I'll be able to handle the rest of the series if I'm like this with episode 9. But I absolutely loved it.

Clannad has to be the most touching anime series EVER. First the ending of Fuko's arc, then the Drama Club's performance, Misae's cat's backstory, and now this... I can't hold my tears anymore, my roommate's gonna think some weird things of me at this rate...

Both seasons of Clannad together are certainly going to be one of my favorite series. It's just too good ;)

I know I'm about 4 years late on this one but this episode really got to me. After the first 8 were so not bad but way to time consuming since i wanted to know what happens next for those two. I'm actually at episode 14 know i just can't stop it just keeps getting better and better. My current top five now start with onegai teacher and now Clanned then spiteful , kiss nagazaki haruka and finally toradora. I cant believe it took me this long to watch it

Tomoya only ever seemed bitter and unhappy in the first episode of the first series so I don't buy his tears in the finale scene. Moreover Nagisa has spent the vast majority of her screentime standing around doing nothing so this idea, so important to the romance that the series is trying to work. that she's had a dramatic effect on Tomoya's life is hard to swallow.

I think it's called "Nagisa - (Warm Piano Version)". It's basically a piano theme for Nagisa and if I remember correctly he basically is just remembering all his moments with Nagisa at school so yeah, I'd say that was the one they'd play. It was probably changed around a little for the anime to make it fit the scenes.

Here's a video:

My sentiments exactly. I'm glad that the series finally started to deal with the (seemingly) true story arc, but both the first series and AS haven't done a good job explaining the progression of Tomoya's affection towards Nagisa, partially because Nagisa barely has any personality to begin with, and certainly not enough to make Tomoya gush over her. I do got the impression that she is an outcast in her own class and that's what makes Tomoya interested in her (since he himself is an outcast, after all), but Kotomi was an outcast too, not to mention he knew Kotomi well enough in the past to make their relationship a little more justified. Same case goes to Ryou in a sense that she and Nagisa has basically the same personality, with the only difference being the screen time they got to express their blandness. The series doesn't managed to seperate the personality of the possible love interests enough to make Tomoya's decision justified enough for this amount of drama, and that is what brings down the episode in the end.

The main issue here is that the anime mixed a lot of routes (or their elements at least). In the pure "true arc" which After Story follows Tomoya falls head over heels for Nagisa and Nagisa does a lot to comfort Tomoya. Since the arc goes forward with no interruptions like in the anime the relationship is smooth and consistent and you're not bogged by questions like "this girl or this other girl would have taken his attention" because they aren't even involved in his life. They're just friends, but in After Story the only one who he ever confided in this much was Nagisa.

Definitely a tear-jearker. I almost cried when Nagisa was waiting for Tomoya after his graduation. It was so sweet that she wanted to see him in his uniform and walk together holding hands. I guess it's the simplicity of these things that I love most.

I'm so excited to see where this story goes. I mean there's still half the season and Tomoya has already graduated. I think I'm gonna play the VN after I'm done with the show.

Ah, so now the REAL After Story begins. The first 8 episodes were really good, each with a unique and interest story. But now I guess it there will be a lot more focused on Tomoya and Nagisa, which I really can't wait for. And seeing how they connect with that other world. Only 15 episodes left for everything to be resolved. I really can't wait to keep watching!

I'm currently re-watching Clannad AS and honestly this episode was very sad. I can relate to Tomoya because I hated high school at first but once I met my true best friends during senior year I began to feel happy, but also sad because I would not see my friends often.I know the pain he is going through because I do have experienced the same problem Okazaki had. As for who Tomoya should have dated I wold go with Kotomi. Not being biased but I feel that she deserved a chance. I mean she didn't get any intimate relationship with Tomoya to begin with since they were only close friends. Tomoya knows Kotomi very well so their relationship can be justified however chemistry could be an issue since Kotomi isn't much of a talker.

Now this is a sad ep. Probably the saddest yet. The reason being is how Nagisa was sick over that long period of time and how Okazaki was willing to repeat highschool even though he hates it; this shows the level that their relationship is at. The part where Tomoya cried was the part where my chest felt heavy which haven't felt since Fuko and Nagisa Arc in season 1; However, i was NOwhere near tears (Bad ass). Well done Clanned, you just scored an 8.3/10.
