Spoiler for ep.4:

Misae looked like Kyou

Usami Haru · 2008-10-23, 12:33

First I ;_;'ed, Then I Raged like the fist of the north star, then I lol'd....Then I ;_;'ed again.

The best CLANNAD episode, IMO. 11/10.

Preview: Misae arc, yay!

Haru~ · 2008-10-23, 12:47

Now this shows the GARness of the boys compared to the first episode...

SidVicious · 2008-10-23, 13:03

There's a low quality RAW out for those interested.

**Klashikari** · 2008-10-23, 13:05

Eventful, and nice development, fufu

Episode 4, summary+ comments and caps

Honestly, they did a tremendous job in delivering the mood and the feelings of the characters (giant props to sakaguchi and nakamura for their show with both youhei and tomoya screaming etc).
Definitely a nice closure to the sunohare siblings route. faithful, effective and paced.

and... rofl Misae's SUPLEX... Kaname's mode?

Wow, I fell in love with the Sunohara sibblings route all over again. Hadn't felt so moved up in a CLANNAD episode since Fuuko's route ending and Nagisa's play. Major props to the VA's and the animators for conveying so masterfuly the mood of the climax. This deserves my first 10/10 of the season

Also, they did a good work of throwing hints for the Yukine arc. I wonder if after this little dialog

Are throwing some hints at a possible game liberty

irrelevance · 2008-10-23, 17:45

This episode is awesome, best one so far after the baseball one. Sunohara and Okazaki friendship is one of the things that I enjoy the most in CLANNAD.
And it's good that they put Nagisa into Sunoharas' arc as well. That makes her more involved in the story as well as developing her characters.

Tyabann · 2008-10-23, 17:59

Gah, can't wait to see this. I loved this route in the game so much...

With all this Sunohara brotherness, they might as well switch out Tomoya to Sunohara in that arc ;D
Wouldnt that be interesting.

Anyway, I cant wait till this episode <3 It's the best part of the Siblings route.

MeoTwister5 · 2008-10-23, 21:19

Haven't seen it yet, but can I ask if it faithfully follows the Sunohara Siblings Route?

Proto · 2008-10-23, 21:23

It skims over some minor aspects, and KyoAni adds some additional flavor of its own, but the overall essence is kept as a whole.

mandarb916 · 2008-10-23, 21:56

art quality went up

Leo_Otaku · 2008-10-23, 22:58

Awesome episode ^-^ Iliked the added bit with Nagisa. Was really awesome to see it animated. YAY misae!!! I waited a whole year foir this!!!

Kaioshin Sama · 2008-10-23, 23:21

Well I thought this was the best they could have done for getting me to actually care about Sunohara's storyline so I guess that says something. Not exactly the best arc in the series or even a strong one at all, but a decent end to an arc that I thought was going to be brutal beyond words.

Mecha_Trueno · 2008-10-24, 03:14

dammit, i woke up too late and missed it to watch on live streaming again. finally got the raw

Spoiler for episode 4:

rainnydaiis · 2008-10-24, 03:21

The ending of the sunohara/mei arc was pretty interesting. Even though it wasen't as tear jerking as the other arcs were. But seeing sunohara getting chased made it all worth it.

Mecha_Trueno · 2008-10-24, 03:34

random thought.. when sanae-san says

Spoiler:

... anyone got a way of substituting your own name in there

guess it'll be impossible to get it in inoue kikuko voice

... unless you own conan's voice changing bow tie

That gimmick got REALLY old after the first seventy episodes or so, but then I digress; this IS a Clannad thread. ;)

Ruhisu · 2008-10-24, 05:09

This episode was totally breath taking a specially in the moment with fight between Okazaki and Sunohara.
Also in the moment when this football team bastards were bullying Mei-chan I was feeling such anger that I wanted to jump into the monitor, and when I saw Mei-chan crying I felt a pain in my heart. But thankfully there was a happy ending and I've chaged my mind a lot about Sunohara.

The scene were Tomoya almost attack some of the members was breath taking, then Sunohara came rushing in out of nowhere. Super hearing aide? best part of this episode was when Sunohara addressed Akio as "oto-san" that was friggin EPIC! at least now he knows whos girl is Sanae XD preview: Misae-san Misae looked like Kyou

Mecha_Trueno 餓鬼に興味ない、俺の好みは年上の美女だ Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Shitty old London. They must've been on drugs when they built this place, WTF were they smoking!!! Age: 40	dammit, i woke up too late and missed it to watch on live streaming again. finally got the raw Spoiler for episode 4: cant believe myself when one of the soccer members said "you're gonna fight against this much of us?"... at that time i thought "tomoya you dumbass, you had all that time and even argued about who should go and who shouldn't go, there was a better option...... bring tomoyo... and kyou if need be" ... i guess my mind works different from everyone, i can actually crack a joke during a serious scene whilst simultaniously thinking "kisama... WTF you doing to mei-chan?! hanase!!!" EDIT: no wait, i guess the two thoughts are somewhat interlinked. anyway, that was a wicked episode! absolutely loved it, despite the lack of comedy. thought the "kyou-chan ijimekko >.<" was cute though. in that scene, i was hoping they were gonna interogate tomoya on his "onii-chan" complex. feels awsome that they finished the ep off with the inevitable moment we've all been waiting for... "finding out the truth about sanae-san" and kyoani did it with style, coupling it with a display of tomoya and sunohara's friendship. btw, when nagisa said "tomoya-kun, have you still not told sunohara about mom?", did anyone else think "naigisa... are you dumb or what... did you SERIOUSLY believe that tomoya wouldn't save this moment to savour"? i gotta say, after story is totally awsome man! first we get some concentration of sanae-san, then we're getting a misae-san episode next... whats with the treats kyoani? is this their way going "lets get the fun stuff out the way before proceeding with some depressing stuff" __________________ 禁則事項です Last edited by Mecha_Trueno; 2008-10-24 at 03:43.
