| i like clannad alot more now, thanks to kotomi the ending was really special, how they used all those languages they even used dutch... felt really weird to hear it xD |
| I liked the arc but was a little disappointed in not seeing more of a romantic progression with tomoya and kotomi. He deserved a kiss from kotomi for cleaning her yard lol. |
| Aaahh I cried when Kotomi got the letter and her teddy bear :(! Kind of want her to end up with Tomoya now, rather than Nagisa! hmmm! love this episode 5/5! |
 |
| Baaawwwwwww! What a lovely bittersweet ending! Although I'd have liked to see a little stills montage of the party or something, but I guess that'd've spoilt the feeling at the end! So, what's up next? Hopefully, we might get a bit of Okazaki background. I think it's time! |
 |
| I still feel like Kotomi needed a hug from Tomoya. |

SpaceKozak said: Another tear-jerker, beautiful. Too bad the had to ruin the mood for a moment with the ridiculous "pass the briefcase around the world" scene. That seemed a bit too far-fetched. Just hand it over to the local or national authorities already... Lol so true! And the languages aren't accurate as well. The Chinese part sounded soo weird. I wonder if Kotomi went to the States? hmm. |

| tbh, kotomi's arc didn't move me as much as fuuko's arc did. well, probably because it all ended happily....hmm.....i dunno. |
| AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAH the fuck was that? -_- This ep was filled with so much bullshit... Seriously, how could anyone cry while watching this? U mad or trollin'? |
| i cry'd , buuuuuuuut only from my left eye So it dousent count :D my logic , deal whit it . |

| I might be wrong but I think that they may have removed the weed only from one side of the mansion. Like the main door of the house to the gateway. Forgetting what happened when he was little is unlike, but he may not know that it was the same Kotomi or forgot the little girl's name at least before he saw her in her room again. Suitcase issue is indeed hard to believe. The fact it was found a day or two before Kotomi's birthday can be coincidence, but travel around the world almost untouched all these years... that's not luck or coincidence, more like a small miracle. Good thing that while watching (at least for the first time) you don't focus on such details mainly because of the events and atmosphere of the show which make you believe that it actually may have happened. |
| Kotomi's arc still gets me every time. I love the story line and how they were once childhood friends then reunited years later. I'm too not a huge fan that Tomoya "couldn't remember" Kotomi from his childhood, but I think they did a good job of having Tomoya becoming friends with her all over again and being there for her when she needed it. Though I do like who Tomoya picked in the end I only wish there was a Clannad: Another World, Kotomi's Chapter. |
| Oh my gosh that teddy bear was so cute. I couldn't help crying, I mean, I don't know how anyone can't cry at this. It's so sad yet happy at the same time. |
lunarcrusader said: kanashi... it was really... Hai, totemo kanashii! That was indeed a very beautiful episode. :') |
| El Psy Congroo まだまだだね!!! |
| This episode... Although it's supposed to be a happy occasion, it depressed me a lot. I guess it's just Clannad's spirit, but still I can't help it... I hope we'll get view on Nagisa at some point, because she was one of my favorite characters at the beginning of this anime, but now she's overshadowed by Kotomi. It's not like I don't like Kotomi - she became my favorite female character, but that's exactly what I'm talking about. Now Nagisa has lesser presence than even Kyou, and she gets the same role as Ryou... She totally lost her character, and we have yet to see view on Kyou and Tomoyo... Farewell, Nagisa much? PimpToad said: I'm getting a little tired of always seeing Nagisa, Kyou, and Ryou each friggin episode. This. |

| Kotomi's arc actually changed my perspective on her; I hated her at first but now ... not so much XD Although I don't think I LIKE her a lot, I'm merely indifferent now lol :P So the whole deer thing was just a quote from a book? D: I feel let down somehow lol :P I don't see how the people knew there was a fire (he happened to be walking by and saw smoke maybe?) or why she was allowed to live alone all those years but meh :P Nice when she got the teddy bear and letter from her parents :3 So they threw away their paper and stuff and only brought the teddy bear and letter? Erm, OK o_O I also don't get why it had to travel the world to get to her - yea it makes for a better story but you'd think they'd just ship it to Japan or something ... -_-" (ALSO SNARKY KOTOMI ... "WE ARE OUTSIDE" Exactly what I was thinking! Haha XD) Nice to see how she's changed though, she's really different and much happier and she can INTERACT WITH PEOPLE NOW XD Though her arc was shorter than Fuko's it was still good. Doesn't seem like a new girl arc next though, more Nagisa, basketball, Sunohara (which is always good) and summer uniforms? o_O Will they be able to get through the rest of the girls then? Hrm ... |

| Great episode, I liked the ending when they showed the suitcase being passed through many different countries. |
 |
| Does anyone know the theme/ost that played when Kotomi was reading the note that her parents left her inside the suitcase? |
| I find this arc stretched kind of thin... I mean, how did kotomi live as a single child from the age of (7ish, just a guess, not really paying attention) all the way to high school? Does Japan not have a Child Protective Services or something similar? Then the scene of the traveling suitcase... Other than that... mediocre arc |
 |
| I managed to predict correctly what was going to happen the moment Kotomi was going to open the suitcase. But that didn't stop me from almost tearing up when she read the note her parents left behind. A beautiful ending to the Kotomi arc. |
 |
| Definitely the best arc and episode yet. I actually teared up...two times! Didn't expect a teddy bear at all. :') Rating went +1 |
| lol @ them speaking Dutch, anyway great episode |
| So sad!! I cry way too easily- second time in this series I've cried.... I guess I'm going to cry every time an arc ends xD I loved how it showed the suitcase being passed on from one person to the next♥ |
 |
| Beautiful episode! Although I like Fuko's arc more, Kotomi's arc got me all emotional as well. |

Faust721 said: Got a little teary here as well. It was a great episode. Although I didn't get as emotional as I did at the end of Fuko's arc. Exactly what I would've said. |
| Wow, it was very beautiful. She really had wonderful parents. |
 |
| All the feels. |

| So I very much liked the end of this arc but I think some of the unrealistic things about it made me feel less emotion. It's fine that the suitcase did make it to Kotomi but the fact that it went through so many countries was a little too cheesy, even for me (and I usually like cheesy). The whole lawn respawning after one night was ridiculous too. Liked that there was no romantic progression with Okazaki and Kotomi...would have ruined things IMO. Still, loved the overall message that Kotomi's parents were trying to tell her and it was nice to see their love for her over their work. Honestly, I think one has to be involved in the lifestyle of research to understand what it means to do that. Sa te... more Nagisa please! |

| I think Fuko's arc is better but this is good too... :) |
| Beautiful episode! :) |
| I wanted to cry but I couldn't. A lot of things about Kotomi's arc felt kinda forced and condensed and I really couldn't make the connection. |
  |
i need to study dammit |
 |
| This was a beautiful episode. I enjoyed this arc better than the previous one. The tears just won't stop.... T_T I lost when Kotomi was reading the note. |

| My mom passed away too and that letter said it all |
| I cried T__T when she opened the suitcase and the bear was there along with the letter, it was so sad but also so happy! I think what made it so happy was her friends supporting her all the way. Just hoping she doesn't get ignored for the rest of the show. |
