What an episode.... but the ED is out of place again....

[Joachim]

goddamit.. that got me hard

[Proto]

If you have to summarize this episode in a single word, I think that word would be climax.

Spoiler:

This episode alone breaks the record of how much an anime has made me cry ;_;

[Lanis]

I just watched it raw and didnt understand anything but when Ushio said called Tomoya "papa" for the first time, tears started flowing freely T_T. While other anime has made me sad, this has been the only one to make me cry like a little bitch without even understanding most of the dialogue.

[Proto]

Hey, you missed the whole first crying point because of that

[Deathscyther]

Great episode. 10/10

I tried to keep the tears from falling....I really tried to....

[Lanis]

I had originally planned to wait for widescreen broadcast before watching but seeing ushio made me pick it up from 17.

[patient_senses]

I second what Lanis said. Clannad is the first anime to make me cry when I don't even understand most of it is being said. It happened first with episode 16 and then this one. When Ushio said she wanted to find the robot because it was the first thing her papa bought for her, I balled like a little baby and then the train scene when they both started crying.

[Beo]

Interesting.

Spoiler for It could be thought of as a spoiler:

Interesting toy.

[Rasuberi]

My eyes, they sting. They sting so much! Am I just going to cry every episode from 16 and on?

I might consider this the best episode of CLANNAD yet.

[laksmkk]

I want to give this episode for than 10. This is where I cried the most and the first of all my anime collection that made me cry.For some reason at Episode 16 didn't cry. Maybe because I knew what Nagisa was going to die.

[Haruyasha]

Why does Ushio have to be so darn cute?

[MeoTwister5]

I'm going to watch the RAW depending whether...

Spoiler for Big possible spoiler:

Spoiler for I mean seriously:

Is the Reminiscing scene in here?

[Proto]

As for your question

Spoiler for Big possible spoiler:

Spoiler for He means it seriously:

I'll take that as the answer I was hoping for then.

Time to get a towel.

[Tempester]

Hmm...
I personally can't believe they squeezed so much in one episode. The vacation in the visual novel was quite long, and I was hoping they would be able to allocate 2 episodes for it. I wonder if it lost the impact by being so rushed.
Mind you, I didn't watch this episode yet, so I'm just jumping to conclusions. I must see the actual episode to believe it.

Despite what I said above, I have skyrocketing expectations for this episode. :P

Well, I am a game player myself and you don't see me all angry or disappointed over the pacing so you can rest assured that they did quite the good job herel

[MeoTwister5]

Said scene that I was referring to is still undoubtably the best scene in the entire story, and while I haven't watched this yet, I'm probably going to stop short of the scene prior to that one because I want to watch it subbed. Not that I don't know what was said. It's just that I want to see how KyotoAni handles it, as the episode where this scene is can easily become the best episode in the entire series.

Must find subs soon!

[FCS-31]

This Episode.....

more feeling than E16
