| Those are some real friends for Kotomi. |
| Loved this episode. So sad and tear-jerking. The flashback and everything was really nice and all. The thing I loved was at the very end, in the preview of episode 14. Kotomi's words, "I always remembered the boy who wandered into the yard. I really, really liked that boy. He was my only friend...so I kept waiting for him." :'] |
| well now this episode has a great hidden meaning behind it ^^...work hard and the results will be great :-) Tomoya's such a great chap to do so much for a friend :) we also get to know a little more about the paralel universe idea(wich is actually debated in real life aswell,using the same ideas like the anime does,so i guess the creator is a fan of this theory) ep14 will be really dramatic i think :( 5/5,and clannad is starting to be "clannad" more and more :) |

| Nice episode. It must be tough for Tomoya. I hate gardening. |
| I wonder if they'll be able to finish getting rid of all those weeds in time for Kotomi's birthday. |
| I'm guessing Kotomi wouldn't go to study abroad then. |
| I feel sorry for Kotomi, but I cannot become that attached as with Fuko. If only her parents stayed home for her Birthday. |
kasumisama said: I should be enjoying this more, but I'm just not, and this ep. confirmed this. It's well done and all, but I can't seem to get emotionally attached to the characters, which pretty much kills a show like this. Eh. Still good enough to watch more though. I totally get what you're saying. I think sometimes it depends on the particular arc... the fuko one did practically nothing for me (not until the very end) but this one is affecting me. But yeah, I almost stopped watching during the fuko arc... but I'm glad I stuck with it!! this ep gets 5/5 for me! |
  |
| Slower, but sweet episode. I like the way they are putting so much humanity in these characters. |
 |
| There is one thing I don't particularly understand. Kotomi's parents left the country, and left their maid/helper to watch over her, but she got sick so that's why she wasn't around. Now Kotomi is older, but is there a reason she is still living in that house, seemingly alone? They don't show anybody else living with her so I'm a bit confused. She's obviously very self-sufficient, but she's still a minor. o_O |
 |
| people with a mind like mine can figure out why the scene where Kotomi asks for a bear is so wrong LOL |

| Its not as dramatic as it looks but its still a decent episode. |

| Kotomi's back story was heartbreaking. *cries* |
 |
| Hmmmm.... So, Okazaki has decided to do Kotomi's garden. That's nice and all, but in the scene where I saw him stood there in shirt and tie I thought to myself "Noooo....dont garden in that, you'll mucky your good trousers...and...wtf kind of high schooler/sixth former wears a formal shirt and tie (and f-ing tie clip) on his days off?" Ahem! Anyways, good episode, although this comedy-tragedy swing is messing up my hormones! Eesh! I'm liking Kyou more and more with every passing episode, and sometimes, just sometimes, when she appears on screen in some shots, her faceshape/eyes/mouth look like Kagami from Lucky Star! And boy, do I love Kagami! |

AnimusNathan said: So much potential in this anime. Too bad they're going to throw it all away on Nagisa in the end. Nagisa = generic non-personality mary-sue. Tch. i don't think nagisa is that generic. tbh, i believe that she's the most complex character out of all of them combined. of course counting the times i've re-watched this series. |
mikomu said: agreed, while she isnt the most complex she is the most developed and no one can deny after watching after story that nagisa and tomoya are meant for eachother, you just cant, if you think otherwise your pulling it out your ass or just cant let go on hopeless shipsAnimusNathan said: So much potential in this anime.

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| OH, WHAT A MELODRAMA! Have to agree with tomoya on this one - there's too much drama, it's too forced! It doesn't work! Well, at least on those who have IQ over 100 apparently. -_- +NAGISA BEING A COMPLEX CHARACTER, LMAO!!!!!!!!!111111111 She's brainless, cookie cutter moeblob without ANY character whatsoever - her only trait is her moeness. |
| Definitely cried at this episode. Tomoya still sounded like a man as a boy haha. |

It depends on taste and attachment to the piece of work, and didn't have any relation to IQ, you moron :p (I'm betting that almost all of the people who are here have over than 100 in their IQ score) |
| "From now on I'll be a good girl. Please god, bring my father and mother back to me" Poor Kotomi T_T |
| El Psy Congroo まだまだだね!!! |
| Definitely the saddest episode to now. I feel so bad for Kotomi, but Tomoya in his own place seems to have suffered maybe as much - he even forgot his childhood memories... I guess it has something to do with his Father =\ The music theme at the beginning is so killing me... |

| I really liked the flashback. Poor Kotomi, no friends, then her parents die D: The scene when she was crying asking for her parents back was sad :( Although setting fire to the paper and thus the room? Er, not so smart lol (although I suppose she wasn't thinking very clearly). Tomoya cleans up the garden ... well, coolio, but I'm not so sure that he should be skipping school, and it's his 3rd year too ... so basically, almost exam time? D; I think they should just get a new violin, too; would Kotomi even notice the difference? Not to mention it would be cheaper and wouldn't take MONTHS to get ... *sigh* Stubbornness of anime peoples -_-" Not to mention the lighting at the end ... shouldn't it be in the MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT so it should be DARK?! Where's all this light coming from?! They keep showing the night sky and then THERE'S LIGHT COMING FROM THE SIDES. It's not like it even matters really but it really just annoyed me lol O_O A few questions though, like why Kotomi was allowed to live alone as a child (and thus burn everything up), and why Tomoya didn't show up for her birthday party. Next episode looks like the last Kotomi arc one though? I guess we'll get to find out about the whole rabbit deer thing at last, and the stuff her parents were working on? Also I wonder if she'll end up going abroad too ... |
| The best episode so far! The feeling of friendship Okazaki and others is amazing! *-* |
 |
| Kotomi's story is quite sad. Hope everything will turn out okay. |
 |
| Again with the teary eyes! :') Flashback of Kotomi was very emotional and I'm growing very much attached to her story. The preview for the next ep looks like it's gonna be another sad/emotional one. I'm really looking forward to it |
| -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. |
| Kotomi... Poor violin, crashed lol |
AngelLily said: There's an arc missing there, PimpToad, about the Girl and her Robot friend. Yeah I was pretty curious who that is! |
| I just don't know what I think about this show, it's ep 13 and I still don't like or hate it, but I'm curious enough to keep watching.. I mean, the story is there.. but I it's not as touching as it's supposed to be. I really don't know why I can't take it seriously. I just find the characters extremly annoying. Aren't they in highschool, why the hell are they acting like little kids, I don't mean the supposed-to-be funny moments, but they're acting weird allll the time, it's like when you watch a movie with bad actors.. you could feel that they're acting, that's how I feel about the main characters. Okazaki is actually the only one acting normal in this show. |

| Saddest episode so far. :'( |

| So sad T__T I felt so sad for Kotomi. I wonder why Tomoya didn't show up for her birthday, I'm assuming something bad happened with his father. I hope Kotomi's arc gets a happy ending. |
| Sad episode,but i hope Okazaki finishes cleaning that garden,i think it would be a great present for Kotomi. |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| This was a very sad episode. I feel so bad for Kotomi. This series is just crafted too well. |
| "The will to live is stronger than anything else" |
| kotomy so depresssed |
"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy." |
| Tsk, this episode... |
|
| D'awwhhh, my poor Kotomi-chan ;~; I just wanna see why Tomoya-kun never showed up .-. Maybe he was looking for a bear for her or something ;3 |
| Aww, it's Kotomi's past! Tomoya didn't appear at her party, while her parents disappeared. (T_T) Although I wonder how Kotomi at her age took care of herself. Well, don't worry about that, Kotomi! Tomoya will take care of you...r garden. Kotomi's leaving soon to study abroad while Tomoya and friends are getting ready for her birthday. Hopefully, this will end well too. |
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling. |
| some things are not adding up: 1) why is kotomi so bad at playing violin? she sounded fine as a kid 2) why did tomoya miss her birthday party? that seems out of character 3) has kotomi really been living by herself in that house, all alone since she was a small child? are we supposed to believe that? Crisu said: Anime like these really minimize the importance of school and studying. Unless the Japanese just really don't have that much homework. But, when needed in the plot, characters always say "Mou, I have so much homework!" So which is it? THANK YOU. for the love of dango, do these children not have schoolwork to do??? |
 |
| Kotomi's flashbacks...so heartbreaking, when she was asking god to bring back her parents omg :'( But I really admire what Tomoya is doing for Kotomi and it was nice to see at the end of the episode the girls joining him as well to help out. Little Kotomi & Tomoya were so adorable! It's sad that even after Kotomi's parents left...Tomoya never ended up going to see her for her birthday, I'm curious to know why... I just hope they can manage to get the Violin repaired in time for Kotomi's birthday. |
