Awww. So cute.

Although does anyone else want Nagisa and Tomoya to actually y'know behave more like a couple? I want them to hug or something T__T


QFT.
Like, geez, Tomoya walks her out of his house without a kiss or hug, just a goodbye wave. orz.

But I prefer him to hug Tomoyo instead (Yabei, can't resist x.x)

There's something I'm worried about, though...

If Clannad finished airing, what anime from the almighty Key would we see next?

This episode was a bit boring but needed to understand the rest of the series, and it was realistic too (oh I wish I'll never do these kinds of manual works in my life again, and I'm pretty sure I won't, fortunately !) so I guess I'll pass for this one ;)

Nice episode, good pacing, decent characters. You just now something bad will be coming tho but I'm sure they will get trough it, I really hope so.

The lizard scene was hilariously funny and Nagisa's dad playing Star Wars was awesome.

Also I really like this scene of Yoshino:



He's just to freaking cool O_o

Yup, liked that part too. Also it reminded me of how he was in the first episode with the baseball game.

I don't understand those who are uninterested in the show's progression at this point. For me, seeing our main characters graduate from high school and move on in their lives is exciting (after having an entire 34 episodes dedicated to their senior year!) It would be much worse to see this be a perpetual high school anime. I feel that if you're disinterested in seeing where Nagisa's and Tomoya's lives are heading, then you haven't really become attached to them as characters.

It is exciting but now we miss out on things we enjoyed in the beginning. Just because we miss those things doesn't mean we aren't attached to the characters. I think of it as a main element in the show that created a lot of humor and interesting situations now gone.

Actually I have seen #12. YOU ARE WRONG! It is the arc of Yoshino.

Although I really like Clannad, the realism is kind of bugging me. If I wanted to watch real life, I'd place a camera in the middle of the school or something. I do enjoy slice of life, but not a miserable life that doesn't seem appealing at all...

Well, I'll forgive them, since it's Clannad and I think things will get better soon.

I'm counting down the seconds. Every time they depart under the light and say goodnight, I'm anticipating a damn a hug, even a kiss. Them holding hands made me squeal, hehehe. They are too cute, even cuter when they get romantic, omgyesyesyes. & I'd like to say I actually like how realistic this show is, it's perfectly great! But I do miss Sunohara.

Hahaha, i dn't think that a camera in the middle of school will have the same effect :P
And Tomoya's life isn't all that bad. It doesn't seem like he's miserable. Sometimes, I wish I was in his position. Nagisa... :]

This episode was great, a lot of maturing, taking responsibility and learning life lessons. Tomoya's nothing like he used to be in school anymore. Looks like he's developing a good friendship with Yoshino-san, but FFS he needs to kiss Nagisa already!!!

This show is becoming so painful to watch. I don't know how I'm going to make it another 13 episodes. I liked Tomoya alot better when he was sarcastic and fun. Don't even get me started on Nagisa! She is quite possible the biggest Mary Sue I've ever seen. He personality has become as interesting as a brown paper bag.

yeesh this forum has turned into such a Tomoya love fest. I really don't see what the deal is about him. If it wasn't for my sister, who is a huge fan of the series & makes me download it for her, i would've dropped this series back in episode 4. I loved the first season but i find this to be a poor sequel. its not funny, cool, or as sad as the first series was. I liked Kanon a whole lot better than this. & yes i know i'm going to get a huge amount of hate-mail for this comment, but i really don't give a shit.
Mod edit I SWEAR TO GOD THE NEXT PERSON WHO POSTS THIS SPOILER GETS BANNED. Okay, maybe not, but it is against the rules so... label and tag, please! Also, please do not discuss the game/manga/other form of the story beyond this episode.

I liked her alot back in the first series but now I hate the bitch.

Yoshino's story could have been it's own three episode arc in the style of what's been happening in After Story. It had the potential to be a really good story, but they just decided to rush job it into one episode and use it to set up Okazaki getting married. Bad choice. Yet another lame episode to me.

This isn't anywhere near as enjoyable as the first season, or the first few episodes of this one. It feels so lonely without all the other characters. Basically since he left school, it's been sort of dull. I miss all the comedy with Sunohara and Kyou and the others.

Great episode! What happens in Clannad really can be compared to something of a larger scale like real life itself making it stand out from other anime. Watching each episode to me slows time down, it's as if I'm dragged into the actual show and watching as a bystander observing everything as it unfolds. Tomoya is really becoming used to working and fits in well with the other employees, Yoshino is a very understanding person who is considerate towards others (especially the newcomers), Lol at Akio and the toy story man with the light saber battle (Aha the old man actually kept count of the current score as well as hit Okazaki in the head). Laughed a lot at the scene when they put the lizard down Sanae's back (wow she's really specific in her least favorite animal), Yoshino covering for Tomoya in the festival day was a really good thing, but Tomoya also took responsibility showing how much he has changed since last season, Nagisa and Tomoya moments later on were sweet also from the fact that Tomoya wants to spend all his free time with here as Nagisa is the inspiration that drives Tomoya to live on life. Episode was great and I can't wait to see the next one!

I think we might see Kyou in her new job since they show it in the OP so Kyou will come back no worries, I also hope Sunohara will also pop by.

In my opinion, one of the things that made this series stand out from others in the genre, was the humor. Compared to the other Key Works, Clannad had more humor in any given episode than either Air or Kanon did in their entire series (sorry, I exaggerated for emphasis). Akio is always good for a quick chuckle, but to me, Sunohara really was the root of humor in this show. Without him I fear that it will never be as funny as it once was.

I don't think the show is necessarily going for the humorous approach anymore. The tone of the story went serious at episode 9. It doesn't bother me, I've enjoyed pretty much everything about clannad.

I can sympathize with you. When I was watching this, I was impatient for them to become a lovey dovey couple. But without spoiling anything, it'll all be worthwhile. The wait wouldn't matter by the end of the series.

Loved this episode the best of this series so far. I noticed a lot of people feeling sorry for Nagisa that Tomoya is working constantly, but Japanese women are proud of their men for working hard. Everything in this episode was uplifting, which unfortunately means that when the crash comes it will be much more painful.

This is good! Tomoyo is actually developing!!! Responsibility is huge when it comes to being an adult.

I wish he was like this more during the first Clannad series...

The romance parts are getting there, though nothing fantastic yet...

I still think Clannad is mostly overrated, but with the direction it's heading in, I could be in for a surprise!

Great episode! Yoshino is really an awesome character. I'm glad that Clannad After Story is giving screen time to the supporting characters fromthe first season. And hopefully we'll get to see more from the main girls (especially Tomoyo and Kyou).

Also, I really liked the Star Wars fight scene. XD

Yoshino's such a great guy...hands down :-)...he has such a great personality and when you watch him you like,get the appetite to work :)

seeing tomoya working hard like that is awesome too :-)

although,it's sad that Nagisa and Tomoya did not go together on the foundeer festival,tomoya managed to save the day so it's ok i guess :)

only that tomoya has to be careful,family should cme in front of work ;)

5/5 :),and again one of the greatest episodes
