Oh well, now that the thread is revived again, I might as well share a few thoughts of my own since I only watched this a few days ago.
Prior to this, I'd watched the whole first season but I haven't played the game. This is the first time I've had the opportunity to see an alternate world in an anime so I was anxious to see how the episode turned out. Naturally, I wasn't disappointed. What this episode shows very well is how our fate is in fact in our hands; believing in soul mates is ridiculous, there are plenty of good people out there and many of them may turn out to be right for us. Tomoyo is just as good a girl as Nagisa - I needn't mention her personality is convincing and well thought out - and if the events had occurred the way they did here, Okazaki would get to love her as much as he did Nagisa in the main story. At first, the notion of the two of them splitting apart over the future of their careers appeared a bit cliché-id but they handled it well and as the episode progressed, it really struck me for the first time how damaged Okazaki Tomoya is as a person. Then the decision Tomoyo would have to make of whether she should stay in that small town for the rest of her life with someone she has gotten to love deeply, but has only been with for a short while didn't seem so naive anymore. That kind of stuff could happen in real life (it probably does all the time). The episode finale wasn't that unexpected but in true Clannad spirit managed to be emotional and put a smile on my face. A part of that was probably because I heard that great song that only played once before when Fuko had to "leave" () and that made quite an impact on me at the time. Rating: 8 |

I gave it a perfect 10 just because they ended up together. From the beginning I thought they would say "Farewell" at the end and I was wrong which is good.
For me there are 2 best parts in the episode : first , when Tomoya worked really hard on his studies and the ending, of course. I like all this snow stuff. |

Yup, that's what I was afraid too. But in the end it showed they weren't merely goofing around with this episode; Tomoyo x Tomoya could well have happened and it would be the real deal.

Beautiful, just beautiful. I finished the first season and when it ended with this OVA, I felt it was a bit better in a sense than the other tear jerker episodes. Still hoping for a Tomoyo After series, anything is possible.

So you think that the first season was a tear jerker? Well get ready for the second season, Clannad: After Story because you're in for one hell of a ride

Well you can complete the VN first, but I think watching After Story first will give you the full emotional impact rather than spoiling yourself to the plot

Finished Tomoyo's route in VN. Rewatched the episode.
They pretty much pissed some interesting stuff from there. Spoiler for like:
But I really liked that in anime version they made Tomoyo work and study after he broke up with her. Also when he was looking for a job, they made him look like some manager it a small recycle company and in VN he was like all covered in oil,which pissed me off. I can say that anime made the route more smoother. And of course voice actors work was perfect. Tomoyo's route - I consider it the best in the VN now. |
