We started this episode with the now official couple of Nagisa and Tomoya. And since they are my OTP in the whole anime world, I was thrilled to start episode 23 in that way.
Nagisa telling Tomoya that he is a very important person to her and the both of them blushing was such a cute and sweet scene! Tomoya asking Nagisa if they could hold hands and the both of them being extremely nervous while trying to do it was priceless!!!! I really enjoyed both of these scenes a lot!!! Another thing that I enjoyed was Kyo’s smile when she looked at Tomoya and Nagisa being a couple, it was a smile of resignation but at the same time it was a smile of happiness for Tomoya. It was nice to see an anime girl being happy for the guy she likes even though he is with another girl. One thing I have enjoyed greatly about Clannad is the fact that all the girls that are part of Tomoya’s harem have been able to be happy for Tomoya and they all have shown to be very accepting of Tomoya’s relationship with Nagisa; in fact, they have started to take a friendly interest in their relationship, as we got to see during this episode.
I also liked the Fuko reference that the animator did with Nagisa saying that she felt like someone had told her to call Tomoya by his first name before in the club room. It was a nice way of having all the Clannad girls together in the same room.
Even thought Sunohara did not appear too much in this episode, in the scenes that he did appear he delivered! The scene when he realized that the cute girl that was waiting for him was his little sister was funny and the scene when he was praying for his beloved h-magazines was so Sunohara. I really enjoyed all the Sunohara scenes in this episode.
The Bakery scene was hilarious! I loved that part of the episode so much! Mei and her “advertising” methods were pure genius!! It has been confirmed, awesomeness is something that runs in the Sunohara genes!
Regarding the scenes between minute 12:52 and minute 14:27…ROFL!!! I didn’t know that side of you Tomoya! Tomoya’s imagination is extremely wild indeed!!
I also enjoyed all the scenes with Sanae’s bread, they were hilarious!! Sanae’s bread is truly something to be feared!
Nagisa calling Tomoya, Tomoya-kun was so cute!!!
I like all the girls in Clannad, but all the cute things Nagisa did in this episode made me like Nagisa a little more than the other girls. Tomoya and Nagisa’s date was cute, sweet and funny all at the same time. But my favorite parts of the whole date were: the Cinnamon roll scene, the holding hands scene and last but definitely not least, the “I’ll always be with you” scene. Episode 23 has become another one of my favorite episodes. With this episode concludes the first season of this amazing series (well there is one more episode in July but you know what I mean) and begins the painful waiting for the second season. Overall, the first season of Clannad was amazing, the animation, the voice actors, the characters, the music, the plot, the emotions, everything about the first season was great! Clannad has definitely become one my all-time favorite series.
