Bad points:
What bothers me about this episode is the thing with Tomoya's arm. Just like the basketball game he overcomes his injury by willpower? I hope there's some explanation for this but I doubt there will be. In comparison this episode sucked. The basketball game was much more thrilling as it had more on the line. All the “fight-o desuyo~”!'s were getting on my nerves. The ED was crap, again, compared to the previous ED. This one is just a Dango tease with a worse song. I think most people would have preffered Dango Daikazoku ver. 2.0. And who is that hopping person in the female uniform? Also, I didn't find much of the humor funny. Maybe because I'm six months older or fillers just bomb? Reuse of Music also irked me. Should have been used in more epic moments. I forgot that 16:9 isn't out yet and was therefore dissapointed. :V

Good Points
The OP was brilliant. Maybe even better than the first. Actually, yes it was better, for the lack of Fuuko. Umm, what else... I guess it looked nice? Oh and the preview doesn't sound bad.

I know there's a lot of people who hates kyoani because of the random jokes... but I'm not one of them xD...

Yoshino-san... omg, I didn't even remember him xD but he was so~ epic in this episode.

Both, opening and ending are very good (sadly Dango Daikazoku is hard to beat...)

Although we really didn't get far in the plot this ep was still fun to see all the main and supporting characters.

After Story is everything I hoped it would be and so much more. Episode one reintroduces all the characters we've come to love and admire in a whole new light and the baseball game was a perfect opportunity to showcase those talents. From Youshino's appreciaton for "memories" to Tomoya's climactic home run, episode one captures the spirit of what Clannad is really all about.

Of course, I still miss the original dango daikazoku ending...

Loved the first episode!~

It was nice how they started off with that little day-dream - really intriguing. And then not diving head first into the plot was quite nice as well as they introduced the characters once more with the baseball game~ Speaking of which - it was an awesome game~ Nice to see Tomoyo and Kyou's raw power, Kotomi's brains, Yoshino's acting, Nagisa's frailness/strength, and Sunohara's... well.. stupidty xD

Great first episode, can't wait for the rest :)

QFT couldn't have said it better Jazmin

Thought i commented already but isn't that Fuko marching (just a leg shot) in the ED at the very beginning. she's the only character i know that's that small so i assumed it was her. If i'm wrong and the answer is a possible spoiler please wrap it.

I'm glad that Clannad is back. Awesome epiosde and nice start. Great animation as always. I liked OP/ED and I enjoyed them. The baseball game was hilarious. I lol'd at Sunohara moments so hard.

WS Clannad FTW. It's blurry as hell though.

That was pretty much exactly like every episode of Clannad, the same atmosphere, the same people, the same music. The OP/ED are worse but who cares about that.

So I guess Clannad AS's story will center around Sunohara and Sanae? Bring it on KyoAni, but after this, give me more Haruhi, it's been too long.

A baseball game is a nice way to reintroduce the characters, though Kotomi reminded me a bit of Yuki for those few seconds, not complaining though~

Oh Hurray, most Animes (except Ghost Hunt...bitter) get sequels but Clannad was so amazing it gets an After Story. Seriously the first season was great so im looking forward to this one. Now then on with the insanity.

Comments made while watching:

-"Your amazing Dad" No seriously how was he able to keep the cigarette from falling out of his mouth so long while he was talking? That is in fact amazing.

-Yay at all the returning characters, Tomoyo-chan is back *yay* wait where is Fuku? Those bastards better not have killed off Fuko! I will not allow it!!!

-He lit the fire in your heart? You mean to say it wasnt lit in Season 1? Im not sure I want to light it, then again...he he.

-Wow, it took 5 and a half minutes counting the opening for Tomoyo to beat the crap out of Sunohara! :D I love this series.

-"Lets start a Yoshino chant" I have a better idea, you start it and we will stay here and laugh at you.

-"I cant say no when I see those eyes." I dont blame you. (Yay Tomoyo)

-Yeah no pressure Okazaki

Post episode Comments:

First of all, damn this series has some wonderful art. I swear at one point I though a city scene in the opening was a photograph. Heck this series has a good everything. Honestly they could have ended it plot wise after the first season and just done some spin offs but it does deserve a second season so it looks like the writers have no choice. Im a bit miffed that Fuko never shows up in the opening credits and even more so that her Since her older sister and her husband showed up and she did not. Yeah I know she is dead but that is no excuse in anime, just ask half the cast of Dragon Ball Z (that was a terrible joke but I thought it was funny). I dont know hopefully she shows up in a cameo or two with her starfish later on.

Im also a bit puzzled at the whole, lets go and play baseball for the first episode, thing. Usually that kind of sports episode isnt done first and probably most animes wouldnt be able to get away with it (Hell even Haruhi waited a few episodes before the baseball episode). Still this is Clannad and it was still a good episode it just feel like we didnt establish much with it.

I must have missed something...

At the end of the episode, Sunohara asks Tomoya who is the girl who is sat near Nagisa.

She is obviously her sister, but why?




EDIT: I LOL'D. He was referring to Sanae, sorry for this ^^

Months after finishing Clannad I find myself watching After Story. All I can say is

I MISSED IT SO MUCH. ;__;

I loved the whole baseball game and the overdramatic 'best gift' part starring Yusuke had me laughing for minutes. I also enjoyed the OP and ED, so it's safe to say it couldn't have started better. Looking forward to the rest ~

But I wanna see all the sad and dramatic parts!!
I hope they are soon~!

Confused about the robot appearance at the end.
I'm sure it will be explained soon!
