Q: End at episode 22?! Isn't Clannad ~AS~ supposed to be a 24 episode series !?
A: It has been announced that Episode 23 will be an extra episode, which its timeframe will span on a year before Nagisa and Tomoya met each other at school. There is no clear information if there will be another extra episode (be it DVD extra or not).

woot finally!!!

was there announcement this episode? O_O

[Proto]

Well, the ending is here and like all good things they must be brought for a close. That said, while this ending isn't an epic OMG WTF LOL type of climax, it lets the show reach its natural conclusion, it brings things to a neat and conclusive point, so it does its work as an epilogue sort of episode were you can bid farewell to the characters.

Other than that:

Spoiler for the real ending of the series:

Fuuko ninja'ed the ending!

Spoiler for ...:

so did they pull off the game ending?

[Sheba]

Not even a T-51b can shield me from the incoming fallout of the collective rageblast that will result from the ending.

[Zenemis]

What sorta epic ending can you have for it though, there's only one natural conclusion, as you said.

EDIT: Why would there be a "rageblast"? It's just a normal ending, don't bother trying to start anything.

[Game8910]

hmmm well I already knew what the ending was from the VN but

Spoiler for concerned:

what is this nonsense of Fuuko ninja'd the ending? O_o

[Zenemis]

She ninja'd the ending. She appeared, unexpectedly.

[Klashikari]

It is basically the "extra" epilogue you get in the game, with some Fuuko's antics. then afterwards, she bumps on a very unexpected character.

[Game8910]

Im fine with it unless she interrupted a great scene

[Ithekro]

"Fuuko's antics"

Just as planned.

[Klashikari]

No she doesn't, she has her own scene, way after everyone does. Just wait and watch instead of fidgeting about needless worry.

Nah it didn't interrupt anything, it's more like a bonus ending.

[Game8910]

im fine with that

She really annoyed me back in season 1 for her ninja appearances though, made me hate her and AS managed to patch things up :P

[Zenemis]

Fuuko passed away when I played through the VN. There's an option where you get to drive a car with her on the run...

No that's a bit harsh, but I feel the same way, she did get rather annoying in CLANNAD, and more bearable in AS. Probably because she wasn't there for 90% of it.

[Game8910]

So im guessing they are saving their usual announcement of their next project for next episode huh?

I wanna hear THAT song play on the anime already XD

[Klashikari]

Please save such kind of discussion in the respective CHARACTER discussion thread. Thanks.

[Zenemis]

What did people think of the "real-life capture" light scene?

[Vegard Aune]

...Is there a rating higher than 10 on this poll? Because this was absolutely, insanely, ridicculously, and unexpectedly perfect. They did EXACTLY what I expected them to do, while also putting every single one of my concerns that the ending might be cheezy or anticlimactic to rest. It was just... flawless. While I am sad to see my favourite anime come to and end, I couldn't have asked for a better way to end it.

Well, I've only seen the "11/10" rating option available once before on AS, so I think you'll have to settle for 10. ^^;

Can't wait to see the episode with my own eyes. I know (from the game) what's going to happen, but I'd like to see how they pull it off. What you just wrote made me even less patient.
