Oh wow that was halarious. I loved the Fuuko and Tomoya antics. The trousers part was especially funny since it demonstrated her odd thought processess. Also teach Kyou was a nice touch.
As for Nagisa's illness, I believe she was never diagonosed with a "chronic something". She just had a weak immume system and was prone to catching bad colds/fevers. Basically she just randomly got sick a lot. Last edited by Klashikari; 2009-02-27 at 12:44. Reason: spoiled removed |

The dango daikazoku song was well placed I really enjoyed this episode however somethings were missing. I'm hoping they leave them in >.> Niceto notice some dropped hints from Fuko about after. I'm guessing it is a bit more norml to have kids run off alone there than here considering it is safer in Japan than say my neighbourhood.

KYOU RETURNS! Tying her long hair into a ponytail just makes her prettier.
And how Botan's grown, into excellent "nabe / hot-pot" ingredient, as Ushio would call him. Tomoya's conversation with Kyou after so many years feels surreal. I can understand that feeling a bit, when you meet your old classmates who you used to fool around regularly, now we're speaking to each other as mature grown-ups, and looking back in the past with nostalgia. Two great insert songs, the first one a vocal remix of the "Ushio" track (variation of the track you hear in the menu screen for the game, or during the announcement of sponsors for the anime), the second is of course Dango Daikazoku. FUUKO RETURNS! Part 2 Fuuko absolutely steals the show, and she still hasn't lost the ability to make a great combo with Tomoya. So many Fuuko goodness, including: - Sanae's Starfish bread. Ushio must have inherited her resistance to those bread from her grandmother. - Fuuko the "alien". Though Fuuko's warped-up logic led her to believe she's in the Planet of the Dangos. - Nuclear tight-overalls. Enough said. - Fuuko openly and shamelessly flirting with Tomoya. Even Kyou has the decency not to do that to avoid hurting Tomoya's feelings, but Fuuko's so eccentric she could practically get away with it. As though pre-programmed, Ushio seems to have an affinity for Akio's "special place" which has now been converted into the hospital. Amazed a 5-year-old girl like her can wander alone without anyone noticing, even more amazed Tomoya didn't get arrested for gross negligence, leaving a child alone in her home. Anyway, I think I'll suspend my cynicism for the sake of artistic license. Good thing Ushio's a very good girl. A very warm episode, however, that warmness is soon cruelly taken away at the end. Typical Key emotional tactic, but it works. |

Dango Daikazoku was beautifully painful. Its already got me near the cry button, but to add the "could have been" Nagisa to it just pushes the button faster than Fuuko can launch nuclear warheads. It was probably a good thing to have Fuuko right after that...the humor helped even with Tomoya's rememberances and "could haves" (or perhaps "should haves").
My thoughts on the end credits would have been that they intended this for the DVDs where you really wouldn't see the credits until the final episode (or at least the end of the disk)...but the way episode 17's credits were done...sort of changes that view. One wonders what they are planning.

Ahhh what a splendidly happy change of pace. Lot's of light hearted moments in this episode, even some manly tears at some points, especially in the scene where Tomoya dreams of Nagisa and when Tomoya is telling Fuuku-chan about her. I guess that I am still mourning Nagisa's passing.
It is a shame that Fuuku or Tomoya don't remember their time together in High School. That said, if they did then the reminiscing about Nagasi would not have worked as well as it did. Botan is huge - it is hard to think of him as the cute little ball of pig that he was in the first series. The Tomoya - Kyou - Ushio interactions were great. Quote:
Yeah I don't think that Tomoya will be leaving Ushio alone again after what happened at the end of the episode. So is there a consensus about how many episodes there are left? |

Nuh-oh no way, that did not just happen. I was watching it towards the end all happy and gleeful, and then reality struck me again. Tomoya better get his act together, and not chicken out on this one again due to his parental remniscing about Nagisa.
