My thoughts exactly. I wouldn't survive another Air.

And here I thought this one would be the last episode... Sigh. Those Key guys really like to make us cry. Are they bullying us?

Is nice to see Kyou again as the teacher, but the new Botan a.k.a. "Nabe" really freaked me out.

And Fuuko returned for more. Though is kinda sad neither her nor Tomoya remember those funny days in school, she is still being herself, and I couldn't ask for more. Horray for that twisted mind of hers.

Anyways, loved this episode. But next one seems to be another heartbreak for Tomoya, not to mention us.

P.D. OKAZAKI IS THE BEST!!!

and what's with that empty look on his face?

Rice_slayer · 2009-02-27, 17:23

Good episode, not looking forward to the next one judging by the title though

.

Also, the reason WHY she doesnt remember is because it wasn't her, it was like her "spirit" to get people to go to her sister's wedding. Tomoya won't bring it up because he knows that this Fuuko ISNT the one he was with all that time.

Reckoner · 2009-02-27, 18:28

Repetitive, too forced, I hate Fuko (Is it too much to ask for her to just get out of this series? Tomoyo pretty much has been), slowing down the pacing now when they could have used the slowed down pacing a couple of episodes ago, and just overall a very poor episode (4/10). Next episodes should be better thankfully. Too bad Ushio looks like she is going to get really sick like her mother with some unexplainable disease.

Clannad made me cry.

Wandering_Youth · 2009-02-27, 19:39

A good episode overall. It was touching to see that Tomoya still loves Nagisa after all this time. Fuko's appearence in this episode doesn't really make it all that entertaining. I remember back in the first season where I was laughing tons whenever I saw Tomoya doing some weird pranks on Fuko when she's day dreaming. Those were awsome, however now Fuko's just kind of annoying.

The ending of the episode was not cool though, imo. Damnit, KEY quite jerking our heart strings!

Texas84 · 2009-02-27, 19:46

Count me in as a Fu-chan fan. I miss Tomoya's interactions with all his old friends. The ending made me angry but I have to give it 10/10 just due to the emotional impact it all had on me. Beautiful episode. Honestly, I'll be glad when this is over. It's just too stressful having to wait an entire week between episodes.

Well, someone is certainly grumpy this morning.

The Town. The Town has the answers you seek.

Ithekro · 2009-02-27, 20:45

So who make the starfish bread this time? Sanae or Akio?

I have a theory that Sanae's bread is fine unless she is experimenting with new flavors and textures...sort of how Akiko's jams were fine (Nayuki loved her mom's strawberry jam) except for her "special jam". Akio can't be making all the bread they sell.

Master Chibi · 2009-02-27, 21:02

Someone get me that damn remix of Fuuko's theme.

Also, how many fucking montages were in this episode?

I swear I lost count.

Oh, if they do anything to Ushio I will seriously lose it.

typhonsentra · 2009-02-27, 21:31

The melodrama is laughable as ever but man was it ever refreshing to see Fuuko and Usio together, it reminded me of what I originally liked about this show.

9/10

Sheba · 2009-02-27, 21:43

It felt like watching something close to something by Zemeckis or Spielberg, until drama bites you in the ass. Key cheat. Even in the genetic lottery.

A nice episode as slice of life with twist of light comedy. Then there be the drama. However, it lacked what-I-can't-put-a-name-on to make this episode as good as 16-18-19.

And I don't see what's forced about it.

What are you trying to hint at

? But eh, I am actually happy today, got my license, this episode just really did not hit home with me whatsoever.

It was so bad that I actually was bored and tapping my foot for it to end, and that is not a good sign when I am watching anything.

It's just a game veteran spouting out mysterious, enigmatic words of wisdom in order to look cool and smart. But to those who never played the game it's like gibberish. I'm a game veteran myself, so I can criticize them all I like.

O.o wut Fuuko is awesome! I don't think it's forced to have her recover, in fact we should have seen this coming from a long way off. After her arc she re-appeared which meant her health was getting better. Well if you hate Fuuko there's nothing I can do about it. However it's too much to ask her to gtfo because she has lots of fans and can logically fit in with the story (Well you could have Tomoyo randomly show up but THAT would be forced).

Also Nagisa never had a random unexplainable disease, it was just a bunch of really bad fevers/colds coming up at bad times.
If I recall correctly there was a part in the game where Sanae mentioned how the doctors couldn't diagnose a diesease that's cuasing her long unexplained fevers. There's some explination but if I mention more the mods would jump on me.

SaintessHeart · 2009-02-27, 22:18

Anyway I thought Botan has a fear of being eaten, so calling it Nabe in a sense would be a little scaring him?

Actually, it has been explained before in the anime series (especially episode 16) by Tomoya and Akio that the town has an effect on Nagisa's health (and if you add akio's story about Nagisa, you know the deal). That is no spoiler from this point.

I guess many people forgot this "little" detail.

Why would it? It's a kid a quarter his size calling him that anyway.

panzerfan · 2009-02-27, 22:58

People are entitled to their criticism and I don't think I'd have it any other way. Given the filler nature of this episode, I think having Fuuko or not having Fuuko are both valid since Kyou carries more weight plotwise and ultimately the brunt of the show should be on Tomoya-Ushio interaction at this point.

I am not sure if Botan's a male boar... and by the way, I am pretty sure that Kyou is there to ensure that no one gets too interested with Botan.

Ithekro · 2009-02-27, 23:00

Botan seems to like children. Or it is just Ushio.

Nosauz · 2009-02-27, 23:01

well botan seemed to be having a lot of fun if you catch my drift. At least that's what Kyou was implying when Ushio was sliding down his back.
