However, it IS easy to forget that Nagisa is actually two years older than Tomoyo!

Heh, Tomoya's narrative i the visual novel also makes a mention of that: "What are you grinning like a kid for? You're her sempai, by two years as well."

So does this mean Tomoya have a thing for older girls or what?

[pac2is]

Dried octopus or squid, though since it is pinkish in color I would put my money on octopus. I hope he is eating rather than smoking it!

[hachihachi]

i cannot remember that uniform from kanon at all......
after watching clannad the movie a few days ago and watching the drama OP, i think the little girl is who she is. hmmmmmm..........the preview says last episode, but it doesn't feel like it.

[*Forte*]

Well, sorry, just Nagisa wears it and it's a bit longer...the color is different but the style exactly the same ^o^

I was waiting for seeing Kyou/Tomoyo in it...*cries*

Really? Cause Air's uniforms look like Maid clothes to me

[Sute443]

That uniform is definitely from neither Kanon nor Air. Kanon's uniforms are RED. Air's are BLACK. The costume Nagisa has is GREEN. Although I can see how the bow and the... I'm going to go with kerchief, are reminiscent of Kanon. Still, they are very different.

10/10

I loved this episode simply because I enjoyed it.

CLANNAD is unique here in that Nagisa's arc, being the end of the season, is not the climax in terms of drama. Other characters, particularly Fuuko and Kotomi, dealt with considerably more difficult issues. Traditionally the most dramatic moments are towards the end, so it's only natural for viewers to feel things are out of place or slow.

CLANNAD isn't an action flick, and while we might argue it is drama based and drama asks for things to happen on a more frequent basis, I'd say that drama is not the main theme CLANNAD revolves around. In the school arc it is something much more simple, yet much more meaningful, and that is growing up. Growing up is much more about sharing your memories with the people around you through day-to-day, common, simple events, and IMHO the episode succeeded at showing so.

Drama is the primary method in which the theme is developed/presented.

I actually enjoyed the episode, if only for the end. For most of it I was thinking "Wow every is going so well...so when does the giant hammer of PWN fly down from the sky and mess everything up?" and of course Nagisa just happens to stumble upon the pictures and albums of her father and mother....it was like watching a train wreck....ah drama.

[Kakon]

episode 21 does not have much lovey dovey stuff as some episodes did, its the school arc now(and the serious stuff is coming in).
looking forward to the next episode!

[AuditionEX]

Sunohara Gay end = Ep 23? O_o

Hmm... very good episode. just okay.

[kyouray]

episode 21 was good

and fanservice !

Spoiler for Clannad 21 - fanservice:

[Tyabann]

Pacing is fine... if they didn't have ONE EPISODE LEFT.

*cough*

But besides that, good episode. Akio was, as usual, amazing. I love the way he greets Nagisa when she comes home from school.

Though I still fail to see how they're going to conclude anything properly within ONE EPISODE.

[KholdStare]

How will they conclude this in one episode? Well, it's called placing our hopes in KyoAni. If it is any other studio, then probably not, but since it's KyoAni, why not? I'm not going to feel drastically disappointed if it ended badly, since after all, the first 21 episodes of Clannad was very enjoyable.
