This story arc was definitely interesting. I found myself getting annoyed more and more because i have no understanding of how Fuko was physically in the hospital and at the school (supposedly in spirit). Some serious explanation would have made me like this arc better. But i do not hate this arc at all.

I feel the ending in this episode was done very well. I guess my wanting to be more knowledgeable about the specifics got in the way, but its just who i am as a person.

With almost any Work of fiction like this, You have to learn to go into it with your mind clear and accept things as they come along. And believe that the writers and actors will give the right amount of information and context that you need to understand just enough.

While Fuuko's arc has remained my least favorite entry in Clannad, I think I gained a better appreciation of it this time around. Fuuko grew on me more this time around. I definitely got teary eyed when she appeared in front of Ibuki. Throughout this arc I couldn't help but think that to an outside observer, all of this must look hilariously bizarre. But that's exactly why it means so much more to the people who did remember Fuuko.

I think my favorite part had to be the farewell party early into the episode though. Nagisa and Tomoya trying to go by first name basis was just killing me.

Its the best episode of the entire show so far!!!
Last episode I thought how boring it was. But now I can say Fuko's story was a masterpiece! I did not expected she would vanish this way. I cried for the entire last part of the episode. Ah! Fuko took my heart. So before leaving the earth she wanted to see her sister happily married.

Fuko will always remain a memorable character for this entire show! Love you Fu-Chan <3 <3 <3 <3

I wish I could forget about Fuko like the rest of the cast. Not an awful character but having more than a minute of her an episode is extremely grating. Especially when the show is poking me in the heart as hard as it can with it's bony fingers, expecting me to care deeply enough about a comic relief character that annoys me most of the time.

Show can only go up, at least. It'll be really awful if it somehow only goes down.

Edit: Oh god I just god to the end of the episode and the song's lyrics are gibberish. How am I supposed to take this seriously?

It was unexplained intentionally for viewers to make their own theories (though there are more facts to this in the game).

Basically, what happened was Fuko in the first year getting hit by a car right after she made herself a first friend during opening ceremony, and while she was in coma for two years she dreamed about reconcilliation with her sister because they argued and got angry with each other one day before accident happened and they never got the chance to set things right. And at the beginning of third year she knew that she was getting weaker and reached outside into consciousness of people on place she was most attached to - at school. Her will to make things right was basically so strong that her existence materialized elsewhere (but that was also slowly draining her body strength even further). During those extatic and blissful moments she was returning to her body briefly due to her happiness. Her existence was slowly diminishing towards the end so that she disappeared completely in this episode and with it all memories of her.

If you saw Shakugan no Shana imagine her as a Torch.

I'm sorry let me rephrase it . "It would be truly happy if they hear about the story of a girl , who had a dream and made friends." Starfish memento . Beautiful .
VERY GREAT EPISODE . They did (somehow) and it was very emotional :'D

"People's hand does not reach, so merely has the worship.
The place is a loft lordy, can't meet nobody put on."

Vague and devoid of meaning, yet the average Japanese viewer will never know. I was completely taken out of the moment by that song. Gotta love Ingurishu.

As I rewatch this series, I have to keep telling myself, "It's all worth it. It's all worth it. Just push through to After Story."

Fuuko is my favourite character so far but this episode didn't make me cry which is odd as I cry to quite a few anime (Toradora and Madoka Magica especially).

Now to see if anyone can replace her as my favourite.

This episode is great and all, but after watching it a second time, I noticed something strange in the crowd cheering near the end of the episode. You can hear a guy saying some messed up stuff in the background about killing his kids and himself, this is harder to hear and you'll need to listen very close, but when the crowd dies down you here him say "I'm gonna kill myself when I get home." Don't believe me go look

It was sad enough until Kouko managed to see Fuko. this was the point of break. I'm in pain. Please make Fuko wake up.

Didn't exactly like Fuko's arc at first but it grow on me as it went on.

Slowly seeing people forget about her each episode and eventually Tomoyo and Nagisa forgetting her and her being utterly alone was tough (especially since these are one of my biggest fears,being forgotten and being completely alone).

Manage to fight back tears up until Kouko finally saw Fuko,she congratulated her and gave her the starfish.

Beautiful, it really was beautiful. It is a bit inconsistent though, everyone could see Fuko at the wedding and then she... disappeared? But still, it was pretty nice.

I’ve never cried so much at anything Anime related, and I’ve never cried tears of sadness and joy so much in such a short time.
Tomoya and Nagisa forgetting Fuuko was the saddest thing so far in the series and then when everyone remembered her at the wedding it was absolutely Beautiful and touching, the perfect ending to this arc and definitely a 10/10 episode.

Pure awesome, and yeah I cried a bit around the second half of it, was a sad/happy ending. It was also sad the fuko's arc ended, she was an awesome character, and set the bar pretty high for the other arcs in my opinion. I can't wait for the next episode, but at the same time I know it won't be the same in a way. ;_;
completely agree!

Okay so it was Fuuko's 'dream' to see her sister getting married. That's why she decided to organise a party at the school so everyone could join her. Her story makes a lot more sense now. She was trying the whole time to be remembered and therefore to be 'seen' by her friends, family and so on. It's pretty sad if you realise this. I am also wondering what would have happened if Fuuko-chan's ghost saw her body at the hospital.

It was really sweet to Fuuko as some kind of matchmaker between Tomoya and Nagisa. She is such a selfless little girl, wanting everyone to be happy. The ending made me shed a tear. Well I guess the Fuuko arc is over now. I can't wait for the next one!

Christ....this is the most sugary, cheesy, sappy piece of nonsense I've ever seen in an anime. It's like they're trying sooooo hard to make it sweet and cute at ever turn.

Hopefully this character is done with because she was awful.

The Fuko arc lasted way too long. I hated Fuko from the beginning until the end.
She was okay this episode but that doesn't make up for the other episodes
where she was annoying. I'm glad she's gone now and hopefully she won't come back.

The other characters are great though. They're the only reason why I kept watching.
The two mains and Sunohara are fun. Hope the next arc is better and doesn't have
an annoying tsundere like Fuko.
