Clannad - Q & A

[Khu]

More like...a intertwining of universes...

think Haruhi, then get rid of the malcontent. That's...KIND OF like it.

[Tribstar]

Well I've seen the whole thing and still didn't entirely understand. Seems like a lot of it is ambiguous.

[Khu]

We really need to like sticky the entire storyline. lol. Hang one, I'll try and dig it up.

Q: Are there any theories of the worlds of Kanon and Clannad being connected somehow?
I've realized Nagisa wore the school uniform during her theater performance girls in Kanon wore, only green. There is practically a character in Clannad for every one in Kanon and they all have similar personalities and looks, the only difference being the lives they led. Plus, the parallel universe where the

fits the description of the town in Kanon (well, at least regarding the snow). Was it just me or did

Spoiler for Kanon END, Clanad ~After Story~ END:

comatose Ayu look a lot like Ushio from that other world in Clannad?

So I'm wondering, are those things something like "easter eggs" that have no place in the real storyline or is there really a connection?

[Khu]

It's probably intended, but it's also probably just as a fun thing for fans of Key.

Not so much easter eggs, but just stuff that's put in that fans can recognise.

I haven't watched/played Kanon yet though, so I dunno about the storylines.

[Ithekro]

I still think Fuuko does a better job at Ayu.

I disagree. Their characters are different enough, unlike Tomoya/Yuuichi or Sunohara/Kitagawa, and even though I love Fuko I prefer Ayu by far. Her character is more thoroughly developed and she is a wee bit cuter.

I'm sorry if this has been asked before,but there are just too many pages for me to browse through.Will Clannad and AS be released in blu-ray?

[Khu]

Prooooooooooooooooooooooooobably not.

It's already released on DVD, sooooooo maybe? If Key or KyoAni keep wanna make money off it.

[xKeen]

Mmmm,but nowadays quite a lot of anime series are being released in blu-ray.

I think they will release this series on Blu-ray. I don't see why not since Clannad is one of the most beautifully drawn and animated series I've seen in a long time. That is one of the strongest aspects of this anime, and I believe it would be a waste to not release it on Blu-ray.

Spoiler for Fuko:

I believe that's exactly what she was, a spirit although she wasn't dead. It's more like Fuko's wishes/desires were so strong that she was somehow able to create a miracle by projecting herself. I think Fuko was only able to sustain that form as long as her physical body remained stable which is why people began to forget about her. The state of Fuko's actual body began to worsen in the the hospital and so her projection became weaker.

Spoiler for Fuuko:

Dammit, it's double U! ><
Anyway, also possibility is that she drifted into IW (found a theory that she was the sheep)

Spoiler for Fuuko:

I apologize for forgetting the second U

Ah! I see, you're theory is actually very plausible now that I think about it. Fuuko () was probably one of the lost sheep that Ushio picked up in the IW.

Spoiler for shima:

hi can i ask, why did shima turn into the cat after misae asked him to love her forever and stay her side forever.

or is this the case shima is the owner and his cat turned into human to fulfill his wish to grant misae a wish. and so the shima(cat) turned back into a cat after misae made a wish?

Spoiler for shima:

Right on with your guess. The Shima-kun that we see is actually the cat of original!Shima-kun, only turned into a human for the wish (hence the inability to determine some social constructs properly). I don't think it's confirmed, but I know it's implied that the original Shima-kun has passed away.

[mammothb]

Spoiler for shima:

oh i think it's confirmed that shima passed away, since when misae's friends went to visit shima's house, his mother invited them to offer joss sticks to shima.

[Justice Knight]

ok just finished watching clannad s1 and s2

Spoiler:

Nagisa died after giving birth,and whats up with the "rewind" later which nagisa came back to life???

and the very last part when fuuko found ushio sleeping under the tree,whats happening

these are the things i cant understand T_T

[mammothb]

Spoiler for :

this is what i think, the rewind thing is because after tomoya and ushio cleared up things with tomoya's father, a light orb flew into him, and it is said that the light orb will make one's wish come true. so in the flash back, tomoya did not regret meeting nagisa, and there was a part where he regret having sent ushio to sanae for 5 years, so he might have wished to relive it and not make the same mistakes.


the last part where at first it was the small girl in the world that ended and she changed into ushio?

i'm just guessing here, at the last part when the robot disintegrated and the small girl died in the snow in the world that ended, she called the robot father, so it means that the small girl is ushio and the robot is tomoya, and the part about fuuko found ushio sleeping under shows that the small girl and the soul in the robot has returned to the real world, the one that is warm and full of people.

the small girl changed into ushio because if you think of it as 2 alternate timeline flowing together(one with nagisa dying after giving birth and the other as alive), fuuko met ushio at age 5, ushio and tomoya died when ushio is age 5, and the world that ended ended(forgive the pun) when ushio is age 5, so when viewing from the timeline where nagisa is still alive after giving birth, the small girl and the robot just arrived into the real world when fuuko found ushio.

Spoiler for :

also, the girl in the world that ended was found sleeping under the same tree at which akio begged for nagisa's life

eh i hope you can understand because i admit that even i'm a little confusing reading my reply
