Some funny moments on this episode.

[cbatty]

Nice pace to this story. Not rushed... Gave it a 9.

Working life seems to be hard on Tomoya... Nagisa is a great support to him while he learns the job and works long hours.

Spoiler for CL AS EP11:

Loved the light saber battle!!! Damn funny! One little nit picking bit though - you would think that Nagisa and Tomoya would have a mobile phones so that Tomoya could have called Nagisa that he had to work... still, that would have negated the part of the story that shows how understanding Nagisa is.

[Myssa Rei]

I'd think that cellphones are well beyond Tomoya's means at the moment.

[Sheba]

Count me as one who still DON'T have a cellphone.

[Yukinokesshou]

Terrific episode!! 9/10.

Mobile phones, eh? It's a pity they are so expensive in Japan. In Hong Kong, you could get the whole deal - phone, 500 minutes, SMS and all - for about US$10/900 yen a month! Even beggars could afford it.

[Mecha_Trueno]

Am I the only one who has to put in effort to differenciate between Tomoya and Yoshino every scene?... They got the same uniform, similiar eyes, similar hair (even harder to tell with helmets on), roughly the same height... wtf man, were they produced off an assembly line or something

Sanae scene was funny

[Kristen]

I'm glad that they did this episode. SEEN 6800/0 is still my least favorite seen of the entire game due to absolutely no plot (I went to work, I came home, various), but it's necessary. And being able to keep this episode interesting was a huge plus for Kyoani.

That lizard made me laugh quite a bit. Sanae-san is so cute like that. ^_^ But, it's not like she's divorcing Akio or anything with that, so it just re-iterates the unconditional love they have for each other.

Now that they managed to do 6800/0, I'm really excited for the rest of the anime. No more repetition, and now we get into meaningful episodes! High expectations from me for next week.

Oh, and another plus. No Kyou/Ryou this week. ^_^

9/10 for the great adaptation of an otherwise boring set of 1000 lines.

Of course, it would be a travesty to have the twins intrude on the awesome that is the premarital bliss.

[W-General]

I really really loved this episode.

Actually I found it to be truly inspring....maybe just me. But I'm a bum.
I go to grad school, and I live a very privileged life - parents pay for almost anything I would need. I go to bed at 5am and wake up at 12 having skipped classes. I get nothing done and I'm on the verge of becoming a NEET.

Then I see Tomoya hard-working. Here's a young man, with a goal. He has something he wants to protect, and he's working hard to make sure it stays that way. He's independent, while I'm leeching on my parents. Wow, I'm such a bum.

Model youth Okazaki Tomoya, high school graduate, electrician >>>>>>>>>>>> Me

I think I'm gonna live by a different motto from now on..."WWOTD: What Would Okazaki Tomoya Do"

[Haru~]

Interesting points:

Spoiler for Just to be safe for others:

--Construction --- hospital---And Is that the Sakura trees I saw getting demolished by a truck
--We finally meet the real Isogai.
--Sanae and Akio + Tomoya = Three Stooges?
--Nagisa's growth as a person---kinda hard seeing her alone doing the warm-ups and understanding Tomoya's work.
--Tomoya's growth as a person---Professionalism--
--Yoshino, Sanae and Akio's bond to Tomoya

Honestly, I almost teared up when I saw Nagisa alone in the school gates.
And finally guys, May the Force Be with You.

It's picking up speed, finally. Always good things with Kyoani.

We saw Isogai at the school festival in season 1 (episode 22, I think?). May the 氣 be with you.

[Kinny Riddle]

This episode can be summed up in five words: Tomoya learns to take responsibility.

This incident with him deciding to fix his own mistakes is an important part of Tomoya's development and growth as a person.

And it is not just Tomoya that impresses, Nagisa shows her incredible mercifulness and grace by not blaming Tomoya at all. Not to mention she bears all she's suffered with stride and does not begrudge her bad luck. She's much stronger than all of us think.

In Sunohara's absence, we now have Akio in his place to provide us with comic relief, and not only does he deliver the laughs, he consistently manages to keep his GAR-ness intact, unlike the poor wimp that is Sunohara. (Not to mention he actually has a strong connection with the Force, it is revealed. )

Another theme in AfterStory besides the main theme of family is change. This can be briefly glimpsed at ~4.42, at the slope leading from the school, a construction yard is now being made at the side.

[cbatty]

Ahh yes...

Spoiler for Just to be safe:

I did see the excavator there...

That was a nice tie in to the changes that will be happening in the town that Yoshino talked about.

I agree completely with you - KyoAni managed to do a good job on converting the (in my opinion) most lacking part of After Story. One could say that the introduction for the After Story was completed with this episode, and now forward to the interesting episodes!

[Takuto19]

9/10 for me.

Spoiler for Episode:

Was a great episode although it seemed to lack the heart the past episodes had, nothing really got ya going, still was nice to see Tomoya starting to take responsibility, show how much he's grown since the first episode.

Still sad there's no Kappei though, ah well, can always play the game if i want to see his arc heh.

Looking forward to next weeks as always

[Leo_Otaku]

Still hope for one more character who has not shown their face!
Really great episode with Nagisa waiting was exactly how I imagined it. With Tomoya at work was really well, flowed smoothly. so 13 episodes to go maybe two more than that let us see...

[Bathory Area]

EP 11 was O.K but title of episode 12 is making me worry.

[cold_snipe]

9/10, good episode, not straying much from the game.

construction.. what about the scene in the opening part? will that change?

Spoiler for about the construction:

Anywho, the area looks to small to be for a hospital. Maybe it's just the town changing, not necessarily the new location for the hospital.
