Woot, nice and relaxing episode 3_3
T'is so much better being young ;o
LOL @ Akio stuffing his mouth with bucket of bread
LOL @ Nagisa pulling the thing T-T

& omg, I thought it would be like a "Kyou Chapter" when Tomoya saved her from the wooden boards T____T
I can still hope ;_;

On another note: NOOOOOOOOOOOOO @ Compilation episode :s

This.

I agree, having this light hearted epsiode was great right after all the emotional rollercoasters in the last few episodes! Looking forward to the next(last) episode even if it is just compilation. Man, how I wish for a third season!

Kyou would be really great indeed ... but the story might not evoke as much tears as the Nagisa story ... I am fully satisfied with Nagisa as the main heroine (I didn't like her in season 1)

I really didn't like this as much as I though I would, I mean it was funny, especially when Nagisa got hit on the head by that falling tine XD but I was expecting a little more like the first season extra episode was.

Oh well, at least there were some good laughs and it looks like that the next episode will be a clip show, I hope the series ends with all the main characters together, including Ushio.

It's interesting to see Tomoya and Nagisa's stories were parallel to each other but they were side by side at the same time, until the crossover (i.e. the trick) at the end.

A lot of so-called "Kyouservice", but it's good to see Kyou again as her involvement in the anime isn't that much.

And I LOL'ed when Nagisa thought 夜露死苦 is a name, but I won't blame her for that.

Ei…I’m a Clannad/Clannad AS fan…like all of you…and it’s my fist time that post here.

I was a litle confused with this Ep (23)…my confusion is where this Ep. goes (in the Clannad timeline)

So…Where Ep. 23 is going??

At first I thought this could be…like Ep. 0 (in Clannad)…so…(they start school, new year…etc..), right before Ep. 1 (Clannad),

but then…I was checking Clannad Ep.1…and…see…that’s not possible…

Because in Ep. 1 (Clannad)- Tomoya says to Nagisa that he’s in class 3 D…and Nagisa says she’s in class 3 B…

…and in Ep. 23 (Clannad AS)- She’s in class 3 D.(already different from Clannad 1)..and Tomoya is in class 2 (?)(something),(I think) …

So it seems this is like Before Clannad (One year before)…the first year that Nagisa is in class 3 and fails…

…It seems to me that’s a opening for a new season

Am I Right ??…What do yhou think??

Probably not. I think most of the visual novel material has been used up already. And I'm not really sure where they could take the story with a flashback series where Tomoya and Nagisa don't know each other. Isn't their relationship basically the centerpiece of the series?

I doubt it. They've used up all the material that there is now. Although it would be nice if after the success of the anime they decided to do a follow up with Tomoya and Nagisa raising Ushio, but then it doesn't quite feel like Clannad anymore. Heh.

This episode is mostly to either show how they have encountered each other not knowing how the future is going to bring them so close together...or....to introduce how they all got close...like we all know tomoya started talking to nagisa at the beginning, how he met fuuko, tomoyo, and kotomi...but we never knew how come he and sunohara was so close with kyou...and how would kyou come to have feelings for tomoya...

Hmmm that was a nice extra episode, and actually much better than the previous episode ;) Not really needed overall, I think the TV channel requested these two episodes (including 24) because they couldn't begin the new season two weeks in advance. It's still better than nothing.

Hi IsUa, I Think I Can answer your question,

First let me remind you, according to first season of clannad(which is where tomoya's first encounter with nagisa), Nagisa was a class repeater because her sickness made her absent for a long time, and because of that she couldnt graduate like in Eps 9 of after story.And remember, Nagisa is the oldest character between all girls and guys in Clannad's High School cause of this too( Nagisa was 19 years old. Tomoya-Youhei-Kyou-Ryou-Kotomi and other Senior classmates was 18 years old including Fuuko. Tomoyo,Miyazawa was 17 years old)

SO ,THis Episode was placed 1 year before Tomoya First Encounter with Nagisa at the bottom of Hill.

For the review:
-In this eps, Nagisa was placed at Class 3-D, This was her FIRST Senior YEar. This was Eps 23 After Story where was.
-After that ,she befriended with Tomoya Cs, She was placed at 3-B, This was her SECOND Senior Year.This was at all clannad season 1 and clannad after story eps 1- 9.
-And remember, after that, she was repeating again, so totally, she had 3 years in Senior Class before she graduated. This was at After story eps 10-13.

This episode just showed me HOW MUCH I miss season one, and how much I disliked this season.

Yes, I said I disliked this season. Honestly I don't know how so many people can be fine with a whole season filled with depressing episodes, and the finale was also a bit dissapointing. WOW lets go back in time and make Nagisa and Ushio live.

I feel that Season 1 had the perfect mix of Romance, Comedy, and Drama. We had amazing characters who had interesting stories, However I never thought that it was over the top, or too EMO.

Season 2 was pretty much unbearable to watch, It was so depressing and so EMO, honestly that WASN'T ENJOYABLE. All of my favorite characters (Kyou, Kotomi, Sunohara, Tomoyo), were all gone. We were stuck with Nagisa (ugh).

I kept watching despite all of this because I felt that the first season was so great that I owed it to myself to finish up the series, however looking back at it I wished Clannad had just ended after season 1.

Heh, we almost have opposite views when it comes to the two seasons. ^^;

For me, the first season was alright, but I had watched Kanon previously and Clannad didn't stand up to it in my opinion. Clannad was a very good show, but since I had watched Kanon first I found Clannad to be lacking in comparison. (just my personal feelings on the shows)

I believe one of the main reasons for that is because Clannad was left with a very 'unfinished' feeling. A lot of the mysteries weren't resolved yet, and it was sort of so-so at the ending, and I felt a bit left out. (I also was unaware of anything that happend in the Visual Novel and had no idea a second season was coming, so I literally thought that was the end and was disappointed with the loose ends)

After Story finally brought everything together for me, and while it was very depressing and I think I cried *every* episode for the final stretch, that's what I loved about it. I don't claim to love feeling depressed or anything, but just the fact that it could stir so many emotions really makes it a great series in my eyes. I like stories that are tear-jerkers because they take you on an emotional roller-coaster, yet it was still able to end on a happy note (I enjoyed the ending in any case, I know not everyone's fond of the time-reverse thing, but for me it was mandatory to see Tomoya get a happy ending, and I was so overwhelmed with relief that I don't mind how they pulled it off.)

Anyways, yeah that's how I see it. When you combine Clannad and After Story into one long show then it becomes very good overall I think. I understand what you're saying though, the whole tragedy aspect is not for everyone, and I can definitely see not enjoying it when compared to the more light-hearted moments in season 1. I truly enjoyed After Story though, the plot development really pulled me in and elevated my opinion of it as a whole. :)

It wasn't bad, and felt like a nice change from all of these "time traveling" and supernatural occurrences.



There's one thing bugging me a little though. This was supposed to be a direct prequel to the first season right? But if I remember correctly, Nagisa was totally alone in her senior years at the school. I don't remember there being a mention of that friend she made tanks to Tomoya's prank...

So the next is just a recap huh? Too bad >.<
