To me it seems their flying through the season. Already marriage, baby, then she dies. What 8 episodes left, wonder what else can they cover with the pace they've been going. New Year's party was funny though, Kotomi did look very nice...

Great but such a sad episode :(
Just seeing Nagisa fade away like that was so tear-jerking and it looks like it will follow how the movie went with how Tomoya copes afterwards

This is one of the few anime series that I don't want spoilers. One day [while finishing Clannad] I decided to watch the movie to see the differences. I completely had no idea that something so devastating would happen.

But I must say, this is more beautiful than the movie. More painful to watch, but detailed so I liked it.

I cried too -____-

NAGISA!!!

Thats exactly why I avoided watching it this morningxD
I watched toradora instead and decided to wait till I came home so I had time to cryxD

The only thing that could have possibly killed the mood more, or angered me more would be a Fuko appearance.


Actually... that would have been pretty epic in a strange way...
But I pretty much agree with everyone else... Torch totally ruined the mood... they could have just shown a black screen with credits for all I cared and it would have been better... or maybe Dango Dango Daigazoku in Nagisa's honor xD

I cried... And I think I'll probably cry more in the next episode...
Because I really didn't like Nagisa... but Tomoya I do Y___Y

I agree with the rest that the ending TORCH is not so fitting with this. It really would be better to put a special ED song or just have none for this episode (just like what they've done on Full Metal Alchemist).

It's interesting how I didn't really like Nagisa much up to the end of Clannad's first season, but she definitely has become more and more likeable in After Story, despite the really quick timescale. I wonder what the remaining episodes will be like though, and what Tomoya will do with the light orbs (as I haven't played the game or watched the movie T_T)

I skipped the ED...it could've been a sadder version of Dango Daikazoku...dammit.

While watching Nagisa slowly pass away, I was like "Nagisa!! No, don't! Where the **** is the good ending here!? Dammit all!! Nagisa! Nagisa!! NAGISA!!!"

But anyways, I bet we'll at least see something good here in the end...hopefully...



But still, I doubt we will end with Nagisa just dead like that...more like

Very sad episode. T.T If I didn't know it was going to happen I might've even cried. The ending though... bad. It wasn't right that they used something that sounded so happy in the beginning of the song right after
.

I'm wondering what'll happen in the next episodes, since there are still 8 left.

I finished watching the sub and I cried a lot D:

and I'm raising my rating to a 9. There still is a chance that it will have a happy ending though. even though it was really sad, I kind of hope they keep her dead.

Besides the fact that this episode was incredibly sad, I thought that KyoAni pulled it off really well. The way the white light from Nagisa's point of view got brighter and brighter, engulfing everything was really a dramatic effect that I've never seen done before.

Hold up, Tomoya, I hear you.
I wish it was easier, but he'll have to go the way, the one that waits for him. It'll be hard to watch. But in the end..

Good bye

*spoiler* (donno how to do spoiler tab thing)


I refuse to let her die! She just exhausted and resting. So she at the hospital recovering hence why all the mail and dirty dishes cos tomoya is busy with work and lookin after nagisa at hospital. Also teared down sign was because they need put up a new one with baby name on it. And he only said he wished he never met at then end cos he was worried about her but he overreated.
I hafta keep tellin me this stuff even though not sure just so i don't cry.

5/5...Great episode, comedy at the start, and then brings you straight down with death. Cruel...I think its hard to believe that we're going to see Tomoya mope for another 8 episodes...My guess is she is revived somehow like Ayu in Kanon. (Possibly just as farfetched as well XD)

If not...Let the depression fest begin.

The saddest part was seeing the quick flashbacks. It showed affectionate moments that seemed lacking in the series otherwise.

It was nice to see the old gang though. Poor Sunohara striking out.

Hopefully Tomoya can recover within the next 8 eps and get remarried to one of the other chicks. None of them seem taken.

I agree!!! This is where I started tearing, because it showed the sweet/intimate moments between the two that we all assumed happened "behind the scenes" actually did happen!

I knew from the movie this would happen. But i prayed SOO much that she would live and they would live happily together. After seeing the end, I couldnt help but shed some tears. By far the most depressed ive felt in so long.

Dang, a lot of interesting ideas were brought up again; the story about the girl in the imaginary world and the characters from high school, although I wish i could see Tomoyo again TT_TT </3. At least it's good to hear from the old characters again. I know that this was going to happen, but I'm still crying. OMG why?!?!?! I thought I was prepared for this too!! This is going to put me at a depressing mood for a long time. This was diffrent from the movie.
Although this had more character depth. I still can't belive that this is happening now.

What if?



On a different note:
I wonder if they'll be going into the Ryou story. I've played up to the after story part of the game. I think I might pick up the game again.

I know, it was more beautiful when Nagisa was singing Dango song and then passed away, now she just... died. And Nagisa said just "she's cute" and in a movie it was more beautifuly ;;________;;

It was all going so well! The series still remains as a pinnacle and a mix of light-hearted humor and tear-jerking scenes and situations, but...muuuuu~! I'm soooooo going to miss Nagisa...

Cried last night too, damn you Key and KyoAni for making such a spectaculair show!

Torch at the end was kind of uber fail though. Super sad scene, followed by a super happy bouncy Nagisa. Sure. >_>;
