I think a funeral would have detracted a little from the effect of her death but that's just my opinion. As for the Wedding, I think they didn't have time (speaking of Tomoya and Nagisa of course and not the director) to actually have a ceremony considering she became pregnant soon after getting married and then her illness kicked in. They got married by signing some papers but were planning to have a ceremony as soon as Tomoya saved up enough money but unfortunately, tragedy took the stage after her pregnancy.

It was like two in the morning when I finished that and I should have gone to bed but I stayed up to watch the last eight episodes and yeah I couldn't believe Nagisa was gone. I think I'll have to go back and watch a couple of the last episodes as the ending is still a little hazy for me. I know it's like a miracle but I feel cheated as a viewer that everything went to shit but then suddenly it's alright. I mean, how would have Tomoya gone on in the world where both Nagisa and Ushio died? As much as I love a happy ending it feels forced. Overall it was a great series, loved the characters - Tomoyo's ending seemed rather sad to me, I guess I'll look into the Tomoyo After for some comfort there - and I really enjoyed it. I laughed, I cried, I felt. Can't ask for much more than that.

Now, although he died in the other world, he still existed in the "illusionary world" where Ushio existed as well and this is where his wish came true, thus creating a miracle where he was given the chance to live in happiness instead of torment. You shouldn't feel cheated considering all of what you saw did happen and even Tomoya admits to having memories of the world where he lost everything. It's a matter of accepting the belief in miracles instead of fighting the plot. I usually like to compare this to the deja-vu's people have every now and then, what if something like this actually happens? Sometimes we feel that we've done a similar action or have said similar words before in the same exact moment but have no reasons to explain the feeling. Who knows? There are things in this world that really can't be explained, you gotta have an open mind about it

Hence, the miracle was created afterwards with both "grown-up Ushio" and Tomoya the robot. It was truly a magical moment that scene, but the montage of what happened afterwards with Tomoya and Nagisa was kind of rushed in a sense. I wanted to see more of the family rather than just a series of moving pictures depicting the family growing up fast.

I like to think I'm pretty open about things and I agree wholeheartedly with what you've said. I guess my disillusionment came from saying I'd be annoyed at another H20 Footprints in the Sand ending but I did enjoy the ending. I'm craving more so I'm going to try and get the game going again.

I can see where the Clannad ending would kind of be similar but Clannad focused mostly on the aspects of families and miracles rather than tragedy (e.g. H20). Having an open mind usually will allow one to enjoy this series more so than others with a more stern perspective.

Good lord, I might be a sucker for punishment .... they took the second series down the same path as the movie which was even more crushing; the only difference was that they tried to give the series a bittersweet ending so that it wouldn't end in total despair with the death of Nagisa and Ushio ....
I liked how they correlated that other world which had ended with the sporadic/mysterious lights in the town everyone lived in, the way they tried to scientifically link them by giving the whole argument to the most intelligent girl to explain... and also the way Nagisa and Ushio were saved with that miraculous turn of events Needless to say this series crushed and squeezed a few years off my life .... dam I cried a lot .... and I ain't no cry baby I loved all the happy moments and the overall realistic plot when it comes to the hardships that some couples do have to go through .... however they make the characters so cute and likable that at some point the pain becomes unbearable ... I shall lift myself up with some action filled-meaningless anime (cough cough bleach cough naruto.. cough) or else I'll be depressed for the next few days....

It would certainly be more impressive if they are to run a set of OVAs on different endings with different girls, each lasting around 6 episodes. It seems that the Fuji twins arc has been set, but one thing I would like to see is a Kotomi arc.
Though what I really want is a Kotomi x Kyou arc.
