done re watching clannad, and now with AS :D
clannad can do no wrong. perfect way to start the season.
the episode brought back everyone together, in a very lighthearted way :')
I also lol the hardest @ Yuusuke's part xD
love the beginning of the OP (the piano) :D the rest of the song was ok. I still prefer the first season's OP & ED<3

yes finally some Yoshino moments :D
this dude is one of my fav characters EVER :-),it's just too epic xD
i literally LMAO'd at his speeches and day dreaming
i'll never understand why only so few people have his on their favorites list...

Sunohara,Yoshino and Akio were the bombs this ep,these 3 could make a comedy band or something and have millions of fans worldwide they're that funny xD

Nagisa was cute,Kotomi made me lol with her calculations xD,Kyou as overconfident as always :-)

Misae was also awesome :D

Clannad's just....waaah!! :-)

9999999/5

It's nice how they start the 2nd Season with a fully senseless episode. It's better than starting with somethig sad and depressing.

Ha very enjoyable! I loved Yoshino's monologues they were hilarious especially the 2nd bit when he remembers to take a timeout.

Kinda nuts how all the girls were great athletes too! They were better than Okazaki and Sonohara!

Very amusing good start

Nice start!

They managed to put a lot of situations, unrelated in the game, together.

I don't like too much the opening and ending songs. But that is not really important.

And so it begins once more as I proceed to watch the dub.

Matranga still sucks like always, but Misae seemed really weak this episode. Other than that, the voices seemed fine. Yoshino's monologue was as great as before also.

Ah! A nice light hearted episode to welcome us back with open arms! Ah!

But wait, I know Clannad, I watched the first series. They did this to me before for a couple of episode before brutally crushing all dreams of happiness I had with DEVASTATING EMOTIONAL TRAUMA!

Still, loved the funny ep, am glad there is more Clannad to watch, but my guard is up against inevitable tragedy!

Yeah, it was actually surprisingly fun.

Aside from that, Okazaki's usual remarks against Sunohara are as clever as ever ("Tomoyo, Sunohara wants to do something perverted to you."), and where is Fuko? D:

I'm so excited to start this season after hearing that it's even better than the first! I really liked the new opening and the more upbeat ending, especially how you get to see all the characters walking in a line at the credits. At first, I was upset that Sunohara wasn't closer to the front, but after watching it again I guess his place in the back fits him best.


Seeing instances of Sunohara getting along (i.e. not being totally irritating) with the girls, Tomoyo in particular, makes me happy :)

I'm actually stopping myself from watching more than one episode at a time. I know after I watch 'em all, I'll be extremely saddened not just by the story, but by the fact that I'll be done with the anime. I don't want it to end too soon, so I'll make it last!

1. Botan makes me think of it as a Pokemon lolz
2. Didn't really understand the whole baseball game (little knowledge of it).
3. Hadn't expected the series to start off with them still in high school. Better this way, at least it isn't emotional from start till the end.
4. Yuusuke looks like the matured version of Tomoya.

Lots of comments :P

Baseball game was cool, well anything involving Akio usually is. It was nice to see all the characters gathered though.

Yoshino was the highlight of this episode LoL.

It's strange to start off a new season with a filler-esque episode, but its nice to see all the characters again. I hope the romance and comedy continue to be top-notch just like in the first season.

^ slicer,

Considering what an emotional high note "Season 1" went out on, I was glad to have a leisurely-paced episode to start with in After Story. I can't help but feel like these characters are almost like MY friends, so some relaxation time with them was welcome.

The next three episodes are a Sunohara Youhei/Mei arc and, while not up to the standard of Season 1, they have their moments. :)

Really, I expected this sequel to be better due to the gap in scores, but what a fool I was to trust MAL ratings. I mean with Steins Gate at third.

Horrible episode 1/5.

Also dropped, since I don't wanna make the same mistake of sitting through this shit like I did with first one.

The first half of AS starts off in the same vein as the first season. You'll have to endure through it to get to the later half which focuses on the main storyline. You could opt to skip it, as it adds almost nothing to the actual story and is pretty much just a filler.

I skipped ahead to the second half and finished it, to see if it gets better. But it doesn't.


Well it would be unfair to call this anime garbage, it was pretty hilarious and the good visuals and animation. Overall 3/10 would be generous.

Liked the start to the new series since it was nice and light hearted. Excited to see how things will continue.

Also I'm realizing now that I didn't have my usual "post-anime depression" after Clannad since I knew there was this sequel. Yay for more adventures with the characters I know/love ^_^

First episode.
Many things to say but most important is that it was funny,as always.
I knew that Okazaki would hit that ball with the bat.
And almost forgot to say,that epic moment when that guy (the musician) hit the ball,he said i will give you a present,and then they lost a point.... ^^

Tomoya to Tomoyo: "Sunohara wanted to do something perverted to you." Sunohara gets kicked into a wall...yeah! Sunohara asks Misae to play baseball...door gets shut on him...yeah! Epic first episode! Akio is awesome as always. Re-watching Clannad After story, this episode seemed better than when I first watched it! On to the next episode!
