| I am actually quite thankful that they decided to go with Torch, totally killed the sad mood but since I didn't feel like being sad at that time this was just a good thing. It was kind of like a pat on the shoulder that was saying "everything will be ok" :P I doubt I will think the same (about that whole good to be cheered up thing) when I rewatch it sometime in the future though, hopefully the DVD-version will have that "problem" fixed. Very beautiful episode though and I can't wait to watch the next one! |

| What a sad episode. I cried during the last 5 minutes. |
     |
| In all the down in this episode I also have to point out that Nagisa looked (can't believe I'm actually using this word) adorable sitting outside the hospital. To top it off the little pout over not being able to get another Dango... |
| I was afraid of that. Tomoya and Nagisa always were together no matter what. Even if they had a lot of problems, together they could live happily and go ahead. I was always enjoying when I was seeing effects of their efforts. That was a magic and beauty of Clannad for me. Was - now I'm crying because I'll never see Nagisa and Tomoya working hard again. Clannad is half-dead now! T.T |
     |
| Sad episode, and from seeing the preview of the next episode, I'm thinking Tomoya is going to give up on life because of what happened to Nagisa. By even seeing how the apartment is going to become I'm thinking Ushio would be taken care of dome place else and not by Tomoya. Seems like Tomoya may become to be like his father? Well aside from that, it was nice how everyone had a reunion at new year's and had a good experience. I think the other worlds Kotomi may be talking about, could be those dreams Tomoya has ( robot and girl in another place). Well I really can't discuss more about this episode, it would be better to watch it and contemplate on your own ( too many giant spoilers). Only like to say, that this may as well be the down point (greatest difficulty) for all the characters in this anime to overcome (in most story plots, there always has to be final major difficulty to overcome, this is what partly makes it a good story). Wow, and again they play Torch in the end to completely change the mood.... makes one think that the producers purposely set it like this knowing that this is a dramatic show? |

AsianQuickSilver said: It was pretty fucking amazing episode. Its probably the first time I cried since Fuko's arc in the first season and teared since Kotomi's arc. QFT~! The most I've ever cried in anime: Fuko arc--->episode 16--->Code Geass R2 25 The ED threw me off as well, but I just skipped through it with shaking fingers :'D |
 |
| I have to second these. Fuuko's Arc in season one was the saddest thing I had seen in a long time before this episode. |
| gosh, i have to agree about the fuuko arc. it's all sad, but the saddest was in lucky star. NOW WAIT! before you comment, it was in episode 22, with Konata's mom. And how there was flashbacks about the mom and the dad, and the spirit of Konata's mom was taking a picture with them. I swear, if Clannad made you cry, so would that. |
| I know that this will be the saddest episode since the show started. However, watching the movie really ruined the mood. |
     |
| I don't think I've ever cried so much in an anime before! |
  |
| Boring episode. |
| I'm guessing they played Torch because it has Ushio in it, so it's giving us some hope. |
| Usotsuki. |
| if there were no supernatural aspects to this show, i would be 100% surprised as to what happened. and as sad as it was, it wasn't quite the emotional plateau that few shows can pull off since there is probably somehow that things will revert back to how they were. but nevertheless, a touching episode. |
 |
| Even though I knew it was coming.....I teared T___T I really can't wait to see the rest of the series, and yes.....TORCH killed it :( |
datsunvic said: A phone conversation between a young voice actress and her agent - Agent - A chan! I got a role for you just now VA - Great news! what is it? Agent - Oh you play the mo-e highschool girl, totally cute and tender. VA - Ok, I can handle that. What house? Agent - Kyo-Ani,,, doing a KeyVisualArts visual novel adaptation. VA - OH MY GOD!! I'M F'n GOING TO DIE!!! LMAO great stuff QFT First thought as the episode began *lalala watching clannad* OH SHIT!!! SHE'S HUGE!!!! O.0 Kotomi is such a hottie with her pink nail polish and kimono! I knew she would die (thanks MAL your spoilers rock my socks. And I thought that after she died there wouldn't be anymore spoilers. So much for that >.> *sigh* definitely won't be reading before posting anymore ) so I didn't cry Fuko tears but still a pretty hard hitting episode. Why I thought about the fact that she didn't even get to touch the baby I almost teared up. And this is why I'm asking for funding for my "M.H.B.E men have the babies experiment" Seahorses do it... start reading those textbooks and academic journals ladies! Where there's a will there's a way! |

| ... Nagisa nooooooooooo D: but yeah the ending totally killed the built up fillings. |
Drengot said: Movie's better. No matter how many times I watch the movie, there's always tears gonna come out. Yeah, I re-watched it and felt very little emotion. :/ I think the fact Nagisa doesn't really comment on Ushio doesn't help. Although that's perhaps more realstic. But it's like her hope-filled character fades the moment she begins to give birth. =/ She barely even seemed happy she had been able to see her child alive. In the movie, she remained bright 'til the end and said she was glad to see Ushio. I know that's more realistic but it's less heart-wrenching. :/ |
| im REALLY curious to see how the anime will progress from here :) now theres a replacement nagisa |
| Honestly, Nagisa's death was unexpected. Though i didn't cried, i could felt my eyes were .. whats the word.. something like it's gonna burst. Damn.... 6/5 |

"Haruhi stood in front of a sign that says "Don't feed the pigeons," she then began to openly throw bread crumbs around like a gardener determined to make the wilting flowers blossom again. All I could say about this is that she's probably illiterate." - Kyon 2:3 |
| Oh, I think that's the first time my eyes actually HURT from crying. Fuck. wesley96 said: it's all sad, but the saddest was in lucky star.

I swear, if Clannad made you cry, so would that. I can't think of the last time someone failed as much as you just did. Not even KyoAni for using the normal ED after Nagisa's death. ...And now for something completely suicidal. I shall be attempting to make an AMV with Nagisa's final moments to One Last Goodbye by Anathema. I'm not quite sure why, as I think it may just be the most sadistic thing I can think of. Here's the lyrics. They fit perfectly I think. Not to mention I listened to it after watching the ep and I cried again ='(. |

| Man, I haven't commented on anything in a while now. Anyways, this really was a tear-jerking episode. Very amazing and you could really feel the characters emotions this time. |

| How depressing.. This episode explains why the low birthrates. The idea of having a cute little baby is definitely not worth it. The risks are always there. Tomoya, how could you?! (>_<) |
 |
| Nagisa died? I thought she just passed out again. =/ Drengot said: Qft.Movie's better. No matter how many times I watch the movie, there's always tears gonna come out. |
 |
| I was over at my dad's when I watched this ep so I tried not to cry (I normally just let it happen) but I couldn't help it but... I'm also happy because of Ushio and because Nagisa got to see her before she died. Most of all I just wish Tomoya could have kept his promise with Nagisa. That's probably what makes me cry the most. Anyway, I'm interested to see how things go with Tomoya and Ushio, what happens between Kyou and that guy (If they show that again), and how it all ends. And I hope (even if it's not in the game) that they make another OVA that shows what would have happened if Nagisa had not died. |
 |
| i... can not... believe... that nagisa... is... dead she was my 4th fav |
| 1:18 et vivus et fui mortuus et ecce sum vivens in saecula saeculorum et habeo claves mortis et inferni |
| .... sob ... What a painful episode this is?! |
     |
| I'm so sad now, I can't believe they killed her! I was hoping she would only be unconcious or in a coma or something! What the hell are the next 8 episodes going to include if one of the main characters is dead? |
 |
| That was almost unbearable to watch. |
| (watching it late) Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo x infinity! TT_________________________TT I just can't believe it; my favourite character dies... and Tomoya becomes a worthless bum who doesn't even know his own daughter. He's acting just like his dad did. If you think about it, most of the series is centered around Nagisa-chan and Tomoya, so I felt like everything that this anime has lead up two just crashed into a million pieces. I am hating Clannad, yet loving it at the same time because it was completely unpredictable. Clannad is definitely one of the best I have seen. AGH, just thinking about what happens gets me bitter. DDDDDDD: I haven't cried this much since Saikano. |
 |
| Stick with it. |
| Damn, this is the closest I have ever come to crying while watching anime. |
| Omg awesome stuff, ED just pwned everyone though. Hope she comes back to life... One of the best emotional episodes I've seen ever. |
     last.fm ╢ My CG AMV ╢ Otaku Test ╢ |
| omg nononono;; Damn this show messing with my emotions, that was hard to watch;; |
| Honestly, i didn't see this coming at all. I love to watch things knowing as little as possible, for example to watch movies without even read the synopsis, because this way the surprise will be bigger (for good or for bad). So i neither have watched Clannad (Movie) nor have played to the visual novel. The series finished a few weeks ago, so i have been spammed and spoiled with a lot of clannad stuff like avatars, signs, pictures, fanarts, etc... Most of them focused on Nagisa-Tomoya-Ushio, what is obvious, but i mean a happy family, the three together. At the end of the episode, i was pretty sure that Nagisa was going to open her eyes and all would be ok, because that's what's suppose to happen and because there are still 6 episodes before it ends and for what i said in the previous paragraph, but IT DIDN'T HAPPEN. Actually, i want to cry, but i can't. I'm shocked, a real shock. |

| I'm so glad they did not show any funeral or anything like that,allthough it did feel like they jumped abit to much after she passed away. even so,I'm glad,as I wouldn't have been able to watch it. Before I even got to this episode,I was "smart" enough to read a spoiler on the Ushio character where it said that Nagisa were going to die after dilering Ushio. hell,I've been close to crying before I got this far,but I'm glad it wasn't that hard as I thought it would be. Because they did skip(in my opinion they did) the funeral,and the time between this episode and the next, I were able to go on without sitting here crying for the enxt 10 minutes. A strong 10/10 |

| Alot of you are in Despair I see. |
| Go Watch Sumomo momo Its epic. It has not gotten much attention... Episode 1 http://www.veoh.com/videos/v83597095dreGdW#comments  |
| Man. I actually cried. If they showed that funeral, I wouldn't been able to sleep and wake up to finish my homework! I read the spoiler before watching the series but when actually watching it, makes me feel down inside. Really goes to show the hardships of life in a different way. |
| Of course. Even though it was so obvious that Nagisa would died I really wish she didn't. Poor Tomoya... I cried so much.. But this is really a good anime! Definitely still worth watching. I'm very interested in seeing how Tomoya is related to the other world that the garbage doll and girl are in. And how Ushio is going to turn out(glad she ended up being a girl). p.s. Haven't seen the movie. >.>; Oh, and I agree about the ending song... Totally ruined the mood. |
