Character discussion - Tomoyo

[X207]

same here, i really would like to see wat made her decided to deal with delinguents. its really quite intruiging to see her in ep 1 standing amid defeated delinguents. i do like kotomi's silent character but i feel that might be a tiny bit more interesting than kotomi.

[Chi-no]

Seems like something happened to her that makes her desire to change herself... But I can sense that she is a kind soul even before the showing of her accepting the star from Fuko....

Spoiler for Tomoyo:

Oh, it's alright - I don't mind spoilers.

I've read up on both games as much as I can already - though I don't have everything figured out just yet.

Though as I said earlier, I wonder if they might not re-write the Tomoyo arc to have the Drama Club group help her get elected, and thus save the trees - since they seem to be building up to a Nagisa ending.

Besides, if there are plenty of timelines where Tomoyo doesn't hook up with Tomoya, and still gets to rescue the sakura, who is to say there wasn't a timeline where the gang helped out?

Spoiler for Tomoyo Story:

Visit the Wikipedia history page on "list of clannad characters" for spoilers. I think that's what they're going to do, I don't see Tomoyo's arc being played out at all unless that's the case. It's just going to be less TomoyoxTomoya and more Tomoyo with Drama Club. Canon material or not, it's probably what's going to happen. If KyoAni sticks to the novel completely, a 52 ep run might not be enough. They must take some liberties.

Can't say because we don't know how much of Tomoyo's arc will be shown in the anime.

fair enuff, ty kang

Woow, in the first eps, they showed a little of Tomoyo's past... totally a Sukeban, i.e. Madoka Ayukawa from KOR.

It's interesting how her character would develop... let's see the entire anime

[Klashikari]

Just to leave a useful information in case of:
All the spoilers and information related to Tomoyo After ~It's a Wonderful Life~ have been moved to an appropriate thread.

Please use the linked thread for anything related to Tomoyo After, and keeping the scope of this one solely on Tomoyo in CLANNAD.

[Owaranai Destiny]

Thanks for the reminder Klashikari.

I get the feeling that some people/Clannad detractors would start pointing out the "sudden" change in attitude Tomoyo displayed in the latest episode when she was speaking with Tomoya, considering some viewers I know stuck the particularly unfair "Ice Queen" tag on her. Was she always like that in the first place?

No, in fact, she was even more easy going in the game actually.

To be fair, I don't see how she could be labeled as Ice Queen (I even saw "potential tsundere" sometimes *cough*). Being overly serious doesn't mean you are cold, but heh.

[Itadakimasu!]

I've only played through her Clannad route, haven't played tomoyo after yet, but I love Tomoyo's simple good naturedness and her lack of pretence. The way she acts may at times be blunt and awkward, but you can sense her strength as a character.

I'm not sure the ice queen or tsundere tags fit her... its just that the anime adaptation has had to cut down everything to just the basics... in the game she's pretty easy going and sometimes a bit childlike in her lack of care for social norms (e.g. coming to have lunch in a senpai's class despite the connotations of her being a junior and sitting with Okazaki)

[mandarb916]

She's basically the polar opposite of Nagisa...Teredere would probably describe her best...not tsundere.

She's pretty straight with her emotions, but once she fesses up, she turns rather shy :P

isnt tomoyo a sukeban also even if she doesnt fight too much anymore? btw wat is teredere? i havent heard that term b4.

[mandarb916]

teredere is a mix between Tereru and deredere
Tereru itself is to become embarassed, however in this case, it refers to the actions taken by someone who's embarassed (whether it be punching someone in the arm, joking around about romance, etc)

wow, thats confusing. so many words to describe the character's behaviour. so let me get this straight. take the ep16 preview at the end of ep 15. tomoyo asks tomoya if he's going out with anyone (->being direct), then she could become embarassed because she asked him that. is that a good example? if deredere is exhausted, lovestruck then terureu would hav to go along the lines of them being direct when talking to ppl?

the actual being direct part isn't a prerequisite, but if she becomes embarassed in things pertaining to a relationship while around others, but becomes loveydovey in private, she would fall under the Teredere category.

Teredere is a mild form of tsundere, I suppose
Kiredere is an excessive form of tsundere (taking the "tsun" aspect too far and becoming excessively violent/angry)

ty for the further clarification, now the tern teredere makes more sense.
