Clannad - Episode 15 Discussion / Poll

[hai_san]

Perfect, just a perfect episode. There was drama, love, fun, comedy, nearly the whole main cast showed up from Fuuko till Tomoyo. I like this episode so much i will overlook the fact that Kotomi arc was just toooo short(nevertheless i was a great arc)...

Episode 15:

Spoiler:

Looks like they took away the confession scene.

Still, great episode. Could have done without the second random Fuuko moment, though Sunohara chasing Tomoya around (on the toilet!), Tomoyo saying that Tomoya is a cool guy, and the whole ending scene made up for it.

I like how the preview alone focuses on Tomoya and this imaginary realtionship, though you can see what will happen thanks to the episode title.

Great episode, giving it a 10/10 because of Tomoyo being in it

Either way it was still a great episode, Kyou was a total mood killer though heh.

Looking forward to next weeks, hope it's Tomoyo's arc.

[X207]

ep15 was pretty good

Spoiler:

the joke he made about sunohara was akward but it did serve for nagisa to say more how she felt about tomoya even if theyre still denyiny their feelings. finally tomoyo comes back though i dont know if theyre going to focus on her now. im getting a bit annoyed with fuuko's random appearances. the only time i wont mind that fuuko comes back is when she wakes up from the coma.

it looks like there might a few arcs that are going to be covered in the next few eps. is there any indication that theyre going to focus on any particular character at the end of ep 15?

[Mirrinus]

Wow, that episode got me laughing quite a bit...and it was nice to see Sunohara's serious side.

Still hoping for an epic basketball match next episode. Or at least epically animated.

Eva-like uniforms aside, I must've been too much of a Ryou-admirer to actually notice she's not wearing her over-knee stockings in summer, though her sister still does. I felt empty for a moment there.

Spoiler:

I don't think they're going to focus on anyone in particular just yet, based on the ep16 preview. I'm guessing the following 3 will be intertwined:
-Sakagami Tomoyo
-Fujibayashi Kyo
-Sunohara Mei (from the Nagisawa arc, not the Sunohara sibling arc)
Maybe...2~3eps worth?

From there, my guess is probably into the remainder of the Nagisa arc...tie-in into the dream(?) world and Nagisa's OP sequence shot, etc.

It's a little unfortunate that a lot's being crammed into 24eps...the Fujibayashi sibling arc, from a story standpoint, is really good (though Kappei is annoying as a character).

it really is too bad that it only 24 eps. doesnt look like they can go too dept into the characters pasts bc sunohara mei. imo they were forced to do this because they too much time on fuuko. even so this seems to have been on a tight schedule from ep 1: nagisa, fuuko, kotomi, tomoyo, kyou, dream world.

Also, the anime didn't give the complete and accurate explanation. Hence why I said the anime didn't ruin the original material at all.

Obviously, the whole explanation will be given during Youhei's arc, but again, don't conclude things too quickly, just because they give a vague summary of a character's background.

Spoiler:

it was pretty clear from the first few days of the game [...]....yes, the more specific reason came to light during the Sunohara sibling arc, but it doesn't change the fact [..]. He's more or less a superficial character who runs around primarily with his own interest in mind, more than anything. Even in the Sunohara/Mei arc, which arguably shows a better side of him, was rather shallow.

The vagary they added was horrible in that they tried to give depth to a character who's just shallow, period.

[fuzzles]

woooot best episode ever the anime is finally getting to the point i was waiting for- still wtf was with that fuko moment ruined the entire episode for me i hated that unnecessarily long 5 episode arc and i hate that character even more. they better make a 2nd season cause i will not accept them squeezing my favorite part into so few eps with the focus on other characters as well

I can't decently expect Nagisa's, Kyou's, Tomoyo's and Mei's routes without him. In fact, he is sometimes even better than Tomoya in many aspects. Feel free to disagree, but if you want to discuss further about him, please either use the game thread or the character discussion thread.

Things I liked
------------------

Sunohara's "You can't hide behind your handicap" speech.
Fuuko's non-sensical entry
Tomoya's "Sunohara is gay" speech (even funnier since I've already heard that conversation in the game)

[mikesince83]

This episode was refreshingly comical after some of the rather depressing moments in Kotomi's arc. Tomoya's phone conversation with Mei was superb including some of the funniest voice acting and dialogue I've seen all season:

Mei: "Hello? Is that you, Onii-chan?"

Tomoya: "Yes. Your brother Sunohara Youhei, the greatest failure in life speaking."

Mei: "You know onii-chan, I'm planning to visit you day after tomorrow."

Tomoya: "Sorry my sister. Right now, I'm actually behind bars. I got caught doing womething stupid."

Mei: "What do you want me to bring you?"

Tomoya: "A clay doll."

[Matt Soulblade]

10/10 for Sunohara. I really dont need to say anymore.

Spoiler for Sunohara the perfect character:

Sunohara GAR

Sunohara GAY

Sunohara moe

[KaneDragon]

Fuko's appearance was a little annoying. This is Tomoy(o|a) time. T_T

But the Nagisa x Tomoya scenes were great. ;_;


"Tomoya, I'm pregnant, and you're the father."
Kyou-cockblock = rage.


An angry dango is fine, too. Very fine.


A confession is fine, too.

[whodaman]

I learned a bit more about the characters in this episode =P Good episode.

Spoiler for spoiler:

Sunohara has a younger sister and Nagisa has changed.

[Cheezy]

Woah @the ep 16 preview

I smell hardcore harem.
