| I wish I never watched this anime Q_Q |
| :| I tried to feel sad for her, but I feel nothing. This episode was just boring as fuck. |
| I actually cried my eyes out watching this episode. I really thought she would survive. ='( Darn the stupid heavy snowfall on the day of the birth, and darn the premature birth! >=0 Had she made it to the hospital, she probably would have lived. =( But of course then she would not have given birth in the way that she had always hoped to. Well, at least the baby made it through, and at least Tomoya was able to be the first one to hold Ushio, however due to certain circumstances, it seems that Akio was unable to be the first to lick Ushio. ='( (But i'm not 100% certain, lol, considering he always manages to pop up out of nowhere, or maybe I just missed it)  |

| I was already foreshadowing this but I still went from a man to a little baby... Can't believe I cried so much during an animated scene... That was really powerful, both Nagisa's victory for being able to deliver and her final breath due to exhaustion... One of the most emotional episodes I have ever, ever seen. |
 |
| Your not the only one, I rarely cry and yet this anime made me cry multiple times, it just shows how much of a great plot + story telling+ music this anime has. It was on of the most emotional and powerful episode I have seen. |
 I am a man than can make the impossible, possible. |
| Dango...... as pronounced the English word "dang" and o... I am disappointed Sanae. Ushio's dubber really sounded weird though...Matranga did a decent job, but it was probably because the scene is too good. Still, I was able to shed tears when pulling an all nighter! |

| At first, I didn't understand of what she died, but now I now for sure: Clannaids! |

| I shed tears from the moment that scene started right up to the totally mood-shattering music of the credits, and then I kept tearing up. I knew what was going to happen because, thinking it wasn't going to get dubbed, I had wiki'd and youtube'd Clannad scenes, but purposefully held off on any videos of that sad moment. It was also rather powerful/touching when listening to the commentary on the dub when the two actors could barely finish a sentence during that scene. |

| TTTTTTTT_____TTTTTTTTTT |
 |
| Noo NAGISA! plz tell me she's just sleeping... Tomoya was being selfish... saying they should have never met... they just finished their Dango family 2... 1 for each of them. . . anyway if we think positive... im glad every1 came 2 see Tomoya and Nagisa! the whole story was awesome... i cant wait 2 see how the girl and the robot guy makes it out of the world... its cool that Tomoya remembered Nagisa's play when he heard the story... i wonder what he has 2 do with that world... i hope he doesn't disappear when he remembers or something... but anyway it sucks she was sick when going in2 labor! and i guess its okay they did it at home... but why did Nagisa go 2 sleep?! it's not fair. . . |
 |
| Bugger. After a joyful new years reunion with the old group, and Sunohara's light relief, the second half was pure tradgedy. Nothing else I write will sum up what I think or feel right now, so, as it;s late, im just going to bed. I'll watch the rest of the series tomorrow. *sniff* |
 |
| Rewatched this show now that it's out on Blu-ray. Must be like the 4th or 5th time I've seen this episode so I knew exactly what was going to happen. Didn't matter. Cried anyways. |
 |
| Wow, you call this a happy ending? What happened to all the peaceful and happy endings to all the arcs thus far? Of course I can't give this a low rating solely for that, it's still great, but just wow. I'm not good at crying but this is just... no wonder Tomoya's supposed to be depressed next episode. I'm already thrown off myself. |
 |
| I'm a 21 year old male and I just cried a waterfall watching this episode. A part of me saw it coming a mile away, but I kept telling myself it wouldn't happen and that things would work out... |

 |
| How are they going to fill 8 episodes now? Never actually though this would happen. |

| I have the visual novel version if you would like. |
| I hated how the pregnancy thing was rushed. Did anyone else noticed that thee baby had a lot of hair? I thought that was really strange. Anyways it was REALLY sad. |

| I felt my eyes watering as I watched Nagisa's life fade away. The scene of her death was both tragic and heart-rending; I couldn't help but feel immense vibes of sorrow emanating from Tomoya's character. 5 7/5 for this episode; It's just too good for mere words to describe. |
| "Love is power. Give it to another and you will bring bliss. Friends, criminals, strangers, and even yourself. All is reborn when you forgive, love, and understand." |
| Sadly, the animation in this episode turned me off several times - talk about bad timing... Still, this was of course pretty heartbreaking. v.v |
draker said: Holy shit........ that was simply.... tear-jerking... qft... That was probably the saddest episode of anime I've ever seen. The build up in all of Clannad led to this once moment... and it hurts. |
| Nagisa died. The major spoiler i've known even before i've watched Clannad. Very sad, but i'm looking forward to see Ushio. |
| ......I guess it was inevetible. Although, I knew this was going to happen, it really hurts to accept the fact. At least there are only 6 episodes left. I'm just going to finish this now and get it over with. Who else hates winter and snow? I was always an autumn/fall guy anyway. |
 |
| Well this caught me by surprise. Never thought this plot twist would happen... and I can sense plot twists a mile away. |
| Todd Douglass Jr. gave Clannad After Story a "Highly Recommended" rating, stating that "the range of emotions Clannad takes you through is quite daunting. It's charming, cute, hilarious, mysterious, and tragic all at the same time. Few shows are as memorable, and few are this good for this long." He concludes that the storytelling is "heartfelt" and "memorable in so many ways," and that "few shows rise to the levels this one does." hehe... This critique is so true.... |
 |
| It was so beautifully sad that I'm just not sure if I can finish it now. I knew beforehand that Nagisa was going to die but that still didn't stop me from crying till the very end. |
Napoleon said: It was so beautifully sad that I'm just not sure if I can finish it now. I knew beforehand that Nagisa was going to die but that still didn't stop me from crying till the very end. Me too, I spoiled myself, since I heard that they are going to grow up and have a kid. Since first part has it sad moments, but in overall it is quite happy, I wanted to see what to expect... Well, I got more than I bargained for... I spoiled myself so much... Even so I cried like a baby... :D |
|
| Yeah..I knew Nagisa was going to die, but I still cried for like 5 minutes straight at the end :/ Fucking Torch ruined the whole mood -.- they should've changed the end theme for that episode. |
| Lemme smang it girl. |
| Episode killed me again for the 6th time.... This might be my last re-watch for now. I just can't take it anymore. In last 2 months I've watched only this, re-watch after re-watch. Every time Nagisa dies a part of me dies (because of the sadness)... I know there is a happy ending, but I can't stop myself but think what if this happens to me... Dude there are no miracles in real life like there are here. There is no happy ending.... Maybe again in few years I will re-watch both series again. So far 6 of each are enough :D |
|
| I knew it was going to happen, I watched the movie before this. But still until the end, I refused to believe it's going to happen. I said to myself it'll be fine, maybe I remember it wrong, I mean everyone's there supporting her. Fuck, I such a mess now. Time to take a break. |
 |
| Omg please tell me she didn't just die?!! Nagisa!!! I knew something horrible was coming T_T |
| El Psy Congroo まだまだだね!!! |
| I just watched this episode and I honestly don't know if I can continue on with this series. T_T |
 |
| The series of flashbacks was very touching.. |
| Life lesson here: Don't deliver at home. It's always a bad idea. |
| that was the saddest episode of anime in my life.... |
EL. PHY. CONGROO. |
| This episode nearly made me cry. I haven't felt my tear glands activate in years... The story is so realistic, it's painful. Lot's of anime have realistic themes, but they are all stuck in their own fantasy world. Besides the alternate dimensions and robot children, everything in this show is down-to-earth. If somebody told me the same story and claimed it happened to them in real life, I'd believe them. |

| Some parts of this post may be exaggerated. |
| I predicted that she would die and she did. I cried twice in this episode. So sad. |
 |
| Even though it was pretty predictable that Nagisa would die (i guessed it from a mile away when they said she would have a dangerous childbirth due to her weak body), words can't express the sadness i feel. No tears, but emotions welled up in me. The flashbacks and montages of Nagisa made the emotional impact that much stronger. On other note, the ED song sure killed the mood after how depressing this episode was. |
 |
| Cried almost the entire episode, so sad |
| Holy shit people what the fuck is up with Spoilers. At least have the decency to put them in that particular episode further along in the story. |
| "Yes, I have been deprived of emotion. But not completely. Whoever did it, botched the job." - Geralt of Rivia |
| NOOOOOoooooooooooo....Nagisa......:((((( Even though I was prepared for this, even though I never thought an anime could make me cry cause they usually don't, THIS IS SOOO SAD! I NEVER CRIED and had that MUCH tears from watching an Anime! I'm a man and I CRIED BAD! Why did this have to happen? :((((( NAGISAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA |
