| Oh god. The awesomeness is starting. I can feel it. lol |
 |
| I'm not much of a Nagisa fan but that part at the end was simply beautiful, romantic in a very pure way! Just perfect. Anyway, I must say I'm suffering from the unsatisfying amount of Kotomi and Kyou screentime. Come on, 2 or 3 lines per episode simply aren't enough! I wonder if they'll even appear from now on :? |
| sad episode indeed -_- i swear...Nagisa's exactly my type of girl :p,the only thing i don't like about her is her physical illness :( it's like i just want to go inside the anime and give her a big hug lol although i know how clannad will end(main thing) because of stupid youtube spoilers,it's so well made that you just...don't care:) |

| I actually had to stop watching near the end for a while because I was crying too hard. |
| Sad episode for me. I didn't like how Nagisa is repeating her senior year with Tomoya moving on. Really got me all teary. It also seems everyone is leaving. Kotomi, Kyou, Tomoyo, etc. :| I can only predict a sad ending to this anime seeing how Nagisa is 'sick'. |
| this is such a sad episode...i can't belive i almost cried :'(...it's one of the saddest in both seasons i think,along with ep9,14(Clannad) and 4,6,8 and a few more from the future(AS) Nagisa is feeling sick,Tomoya is suffering and it sucks you can't do anything but watch ;( Everyone is such a good friend,the birthday scene was great... the next episode will be awesome :D,ep 10 of the AS is one of my 5 favorites,maybe even in top 3 :-) 99999/5 ;) Clannad's starting to become more and more clannad :-) |

| So far my fave from Clannad AS. I remebered my last days at school, made me feel nostalgic and a bit sad. |
 |
| Good ep. |
| FANTASTIC episode. So fantastic and beautiful!! BOTAN DOLLL! |
  |
| Soo touching ^^ |
 |
| I've run out of tissues |
 |
| Love this ep!! My fav so far! Hey Tomoya I want a Dango too! I can't stop crying! Tomoya is so sweet. Aww but Nagisa have to do that year again! No! I love the final scene! I love clannad =) Puhi is so cute! |

| Great ep. The ending was overflowing with indescribable happiness. :) It felt like the ending. LOL. I wonder what the next eps are all about. |
| OMG!! Okazaki and Nagisa just pull at my heart strings!! |
 |
| Why was he crying? he can always visit her, just because he can't go to school doesn't mean he can't see her again. I just love the logic of this series lol |
 |
| The drama is starting to kick in pretty heavily... and I'm afraid of what might happen... Anyway, great episode... never has a romance anime been as good as this one before. |
 |
| Fuck yeah, it's Koumura and his suitable dub voice. What a bro. |

| ANOTHER YEAR?! that really sucks 4 Nagisa! she should just have 2 repeat 1 semester... well at least she didn't die... and its a good thing she'll have friends next year! its cute they finally held hands... and OMG her party was AWESOME! that dango was so cute ^^ and Sunohara was so funny! i can't believe he's gonna be a model XD you know Nagisa seemed okay 2 go 2 skool... oh well if she felt that sick then i guess she was... but i wouldn't want a piece of her b-day cake after her blowing on it... hehe anyway it was a GREAT episode! Congratulations on graduating everyone! |
 |
| Awww....Sunohara got his job application rejected! Wow, that last half of their academic year went by fast! And now they've graduated, what will Okazaki do? He doesnt seem like he'll find it easy getting a job. Hmmm... The fun school days are over, now the daunting unendingness of adult life begins! |
 |
| Clannad has to be the most touching anime series EVER. First the ending of Fuko's arc, then the Drama Club's performance, Misae's cat's backstory, and now this... I can't hold my tears anymore, my roommate's gonna think some weird things of me at this rate... Both seasons of Clannad together are certainly going to be one of my favorite series. It's just too good ;) |
 |
| Small advice: Better continue when your roommate is out :-)... |
| Sunohara was still at "and a toilet seat cover." Lol. He's becoming one of my fav characters. The story is finally getting on track. Sigh, i really pity Nagisa :( having to repeat her final year for 2 years. sucks |
| The ending was a perfect contrast to school episode 23. Nagisa has grown so much. |
| Man... this series really is as good as people say it is. I really feel for Nagisa/Tomoya. I'm kind of scared to continue, I don't know if I can take it. Screw it, I'm watching the next ep. |
 |
| Really she's repeating another year??!! Poor Nagisa!! That was a cute present, Dango!! |
| El Psy Congroo まだまだだね!!! |
| Tomoya only ever seemed bitter and unhappy in the first episode of the first series so I don't buy his tears in the finale scene. Moreover Nagisa has spent the vast majority of her screentime standing around doing nothing so this idea, so important to the romance that the series is trying to work. that she's had a dramatic effect on Tomoya's life is hard to swallow. |
| Just A Question, What Is The Name Of The OST Played When After Tomoya And Sunohara Was Talking To Koumura. (That Is Played By A Piano) |
 |
| Oh no, her sickness returns! No more high school. Real life starts now. |
| I think this episode was supposed to make me cry. It didn't, but I think it was supposed to. |

PleinairUsagiDrp said: I think it's called "Nagisa - (Warm Piano Version)". It's basically a piano theme for Nagisa and if I remember correctly he basically is just remembering all his moments with Nagisa at school so yeah, I'd say that was the one they'd play. It was probably changed around a little for the anime to make it fit the scenes.Just A Question, What Is The Name Of The OST Played When After Tomoya And Sunohara Was Talking To Koumura.

My sentiments exactly. I'm glad that the series finally started to deal with the (seemingly) true story arc, but both the first series and AS haven't done a good job explaining the progression of Tomoya's affection towards Nagisa, partially because Nagisa barely has any personality to begin with, and certainly not enough to make Tomoya gush over her. I do got the impression that she is an outcast in her own class and that's what makes Tomoya interested in her (since he himself is an outcast, after all), but Kotomi was an outcast too, not to mention he knew Kotomi well enough in the past to make their relationship a little more justified. Same case goes to Ryou in a sense that she and Nagisa has basically the same personality, with the only difference being the screen time they got to express their blandness. The series doesn't managed to seperate the personality of the possible love interests enough to make Tomoya's decision justified enough for this amount of drama, and that is what brings down the episode in the end. |
Dodgers20 said: The main issue here is that the anime mixed a lot of routes (or their elements at least). In the pure "true arc" which After Story follows Tomoya falls head over heels for Nagisa and Nagisa does a lot to comfort Tomoya. Since the arc goes forward with no interruptions like in the anime the relationship is smooth and consistent and you're not bogged by questions like "this girl or this other girl would have taken his attention" because they aren't even involved in his life. They're just friends, but in After Story the only one who he ever confided in this much was Nagisa.Fronzel said: Tomoya only ever seemed bitter and unhappy in the first episode of the first series so I don't buy his tears in the finale scene.

| Seems like the filler has ended (not that it was not good) and the real thing is starting! |
| 5/5 |
 張大です for 張大勇督察 |
| what an amazing ep. that can be the final ep. for the season :P |
 |
| A heart-breaking goodbye from school life :( |
-------Only God will judge me -------- iSignature |
| Awesome episode. |
| Nagisa's health seems to be going downhill. |
 |
| Definitely a tear-jearker. I almost cried when Nagisa was waiting for Tomoya after his graduation. It was so sweet that she wanted to see him in his uniform and walk together holding hands. I guess it's the simplicity of these things that I love most. I'm so excited to see where this story goes. I mean there's still half the season and Tomoya has already graduated. I think I'm gonna play the VN after I'm done with the show. |
| -Nothing can stay unchanged. Even so, can you still keep on loving this place? -Be still my soul; when change and tears are past, all safe and blessed we shall meet at last. |
| I'm currently re-watching Clannad AS and honestly this episode was very sad. I can relate to Tomoya because I hated high school at first but once I met my true best friends during senior year I began to feel happy, but also sad because I would not see my friends often.I know the pain he is going through because I do have experienced the same problem Okazaki had. As for who Tomoya should have dated I wold go with Kotomi. Not being biased but I feel that she deserved a chance. I mean she didn't get any intimate relationship with Tomoya to begin with since they were only close friends. Tomoya knows Kotomi very well so their relationship can be justified however chemistry could be an issue since Kotomi isn't much of a talker. |
 |
| Seeing Tomoya cry felt a little bit weird... |
| Whoa... so theyre not going to wear school uniforms all the time anymore? Finally, a school anime that learns to grow up! |
