as usual... clumsy bullet summary (currently watching)

Episode 2: summary and screencaps

i will rework it a bit tomorrow. same for the upload of the screencaps.
the raw is out by the way

EDIT: Screencaps are uploaded. summary has been reworked as well.

I'll watch this after school with the subs. Fuuko appears! Whee!:):D

For some reason, I felt that this week lasted an eternity. :eyespin:

Need my Clannad fix pronto! :heh: :heh:

Really looking forward to this heh, been waiting all week for it, hope it's another great episode.

Best part of the show, Tomoya stating that Kyou is Bi to the entire class, when she forbid him to talk about her Motorbike.

Yeah, that was a great lol moment.

At the moment i have a lot to say about the second episode --- though all you're getting from me at the moment is moe moe Kotomi. <3

Kyou's "Bi" moment was quite hilarious.

I also like that Tomoya's conditions are revealed bit by bit and not in one huge infodump. They aren't something he wants to talk about, so he'd reveal them only when really necessary (it's his arm this episode).

Im not sure, but when the "girl with the little knife" talked, I felt as though I could easily imagine an "Uguuuu" comming from her. I wounder if that Seiyū was in kanon aswell, going to check that when im finished with this reply.
Im a little proud right now. I could understand a lot just by listening to the japanese this time, its one of the first times ive tried that :) I did it with lucky star 2 times, but that was almost impossible beacause they talk so fast in that anime, but in clannad there are several characters that talk really slow (atleast for being japanese) so its good when trying to learn some japanese.
I liked this episode a lot, but I miss two of my favorite characters from last weeks episode :(

highlight...

enough said ;)

Oooooo they left an extra 4th digit in the front, does that mean there's gonna be a new record sooner or later? Looking forward to 9999 hit combo (maybe).

Cant wait for the release!!

I agree!
That made my day. That part was hilarious!

This episode ended up normal.

I find Kyoani's choice of chronology extremely screwy. But that's only because I remember all the scene dates, so obviously it would look rather weird. Otherwise it's sequentially reasonable, and aside from minour truncations, the overall idea once again, is still there.

In terms of accuracy to the game, with slight truncations, overall ideas are still maintained. Though because of the fast pace, the introductions are rather fast. With Kyou and Tomoyo it's fine because of their frequency, but for Fuuko and Kotomi they use a slower pace.

And my god the days are running fast. Now I'm realising they're doing introductions, then segmenting like they did in kanon. And if I keep thinking chronologically, I will find it extremely screwed up.

And of course in terms of Nagisa, it's fantastic. The other girls, I can't say quite the same. Now this is merely character usage. Clearly the main girl would have the most emphasis, but even I never recalled Ayu usage being that dominant that early (or it was, kind of, but not really).



Well I'm basing my opinion on the raw. Otherwise, it's still fine. If the perks work, they work. If anything, the other girls should be emphasized at a later episode. Likely by then most of the dates will be ignored because of segmentation. Maybe I keep forgetting that the same scenes in the game are like 10x longer due to text, but that anime speed covers most of it rather quickly.

Upon watching it again, it's not as bad. And perhaps I easily missed something from the raw.

This might be the only series that I watch each raw episode. Chronology aside, the overall idea was maintained, and the linking format obviously isn't identical, but it still works. If the pace is fast, at least most things are concise. If anything, a large sequence of events happened in the same episode, which is technically what I like in general episodes, so I should be quite satisfied.

[SPOILER]Although relatively Nagisa's usage obviously delved more into the route more, it'll seem quite odd when she may very well be missing for 12 or so episodes when segmented routes are undergone. It's like if her usage remains this high in the next few episodes, you'll run out of things to do with Nagisa lol because most of it would be covered. Now then again I don't know if there's an after story or not, but if there was, that would totally screw over the pace of the segmented routes, or those would simply be pretty fast since there's already portions of each route used anyways.[\SPOILER]

Right now everything is being put down so there's a fair share of seeing everyone (um except Miyazawa). Well, a lot more happens anyways. I just wonder in what order.

Guy should get the hell out of the way. Either that or he likes it. :naughty: Other than that, still not much here to divert my interest from other shows this season.

Oh..this has been a long long wait. Watched the First Episode 25 times. Kami-sama knows what shall be my fate with the second one

I shall wait for the widescreen version. :( Let's see if I can actually hold out til then.

I like the animation especially some details.really nice.
other than that, tomoyo rules as usualXD

Ugh. I enjoyed watching this so much I want to get the game just to compare. Is there some busy college student abridged translation somewhere? The pacing for this ep was nice. I especially liked the background and atmosphere they used with Nagisa's scenes.
