Clannad - Episode 10 Discussion / Poll

[arkxkra]

The dream(?) is back, so peaceful.

Kotomi so kawaii especially when hidding behind Tomoya, and the emotion of Kotomi when meeting Kyou is so funny and cute...

The 2 kick of the episode is nice as well, long time didnt see a nice kick.

Wow, kotomi special techniq, violin attack.

the old man at the end of the episode is who?

Next episode preview, Kyou try to make her move toward Tomoya?

[C.A.]

More than enough comedy and moe to get a 10 for me.

Random bits:
I love Ryou.
Tomoyo can now have 2 support characters in MUGEN. I'd like to see.
Nagisa + Kotomi + Ryou = moe overload.
I still miss Fuko. This episode would kill much more if she's still around.

[therationalpi]

This is a real fun episode. Lots of humor to contrast with the lots of serious from the last episode. Kotomi is extremely cute. Ryou is also extremely cute (cuter, imho). Nagisa is extremely cute, as well. Put the three in one room, moe overload. You essentially need Kyou there to break up the moe by kicking Tomoya in the face.
I really wish that the Ryou possibility would get more play. It's obviously a set up to get Kyou's story rolling, but Ryou is an interesting character in and of herself (Though, maybe she is too similar to Nagisa personality wise).

This was a really nice opening episode for kotomi's arc. I really look forward to the next one.

It was 2 a.m here when I was enjoying watching this funny episode and then got freaked out by that crazy violin sound. (bs...) They dramatized & electronically modified the violin sound too much, it's not like the sound when you press the bow too hard on the strings at all. Instead, that sound just reminds me of the J horror movie "The Grudge 2", what a nightmare.

I have a feeling that's going to play some significant part during Kyou's arc.

[KholdStare]

Like many, I didn't really like Kotomi (maybe because of the little screen time she had during Fuko's arc) and I wasn't excited to watch this episode. However, this episode changed my opinion of her and she has become a likable character to me now.

The mood transition of this anime is one of the best I've seen. Last episode made me teary and this episode just somehow made me laugh out of loud with a sense of continuation and a hint of sadness that Fuko is now forever gone from their lives (at least for now). Youhei is back to his old self, Kyou getting jealous as usual, Nagisa and Tomoya acts like they're just classmates, and in fact, everything is normal except for an inexplicable feeling of warmth that brought everyone closer. Truely, Clannad is becoming one of my favorites of this season. 9/10

P.S.: Ryou is still the cutest/hottest character in Clannad and Kyou x Kotomi ftw!

I agree, you know, in this ep I didn't even realise that Tomoya was calling Nagisa Nagisa now, until Kyou pointed it out. Really natural and it's obvious that the relationship between Tomoya and Nagisa has gotten closer.

[Lost-Wisdom]

Great episode, definitely show more story with the genius girl.
The ending also cracked me up where

[C.A.]

Ryou lovers are rising in population, I think we will need a Ryou thread soon.

Oh and I was caught off guard by Kotomi-chan's violin as well, leaving a bit stunned and laughing after a hectasecond or so.

[Faust87]

Funny episode, Kotomy is so cute!! *__* Somehow, I think is similar to me...

Great observation. Upon you giving the heads up, i search the episodes.

Episode 6 = 0 light balls
Episode 7 = 1 light ball
Episode 10 = 2 light balls

Anyone has any idea what it means? You may want to review those episodes to tell us why, but I think it has something to do with Fuko(for now).

[GoldAlchemist]

Hail NotoMami a.k.a. Kotomi.

"Tomoya-kun, good afternoon."

"Kotomi. Hiragana's form of Kotomi. Please call me Kotomi-chan."

"Bully me?"

"Good afternoon. Enchante. I'm Ichinose Kotomi from Class 3A. My hobby is reading. If possible, i would like to be your friend."

I must have been listening to those for like 10 times each. She's uber kawaii!

Where is the series total screentime?

[Klashikari]

Apparently, Divini is calculating by it himself/herself.

Maybe a progress to a girl? Nagisa = 1 and adds another 1 for Kotomi xD

but I doubt Im right :P

[Klashikari]

Personally, I believe the first light ball was Kouko's wish, considering the timing (after Fuko's classroom). Then, After Fuko's success, her own wish for Kouko was granted, thus another light orb.

[C.A.]

Oo, so Kyoani actually brought the 'flagging system' into the show itself? Nice lol
