Nagisa: "You have to cry when you have to."



Finally Kotomi will have her spotlight!




Kotomi-chan~~~~~

[Divini]

Looking forward to the start of Kotomi's arc also.

I'm still drawing a blank trying to figure out what her story is about. (Which I think is a good thing ) The only hints we're given is Kotomi playing a violin in the OP; and based on the preview, Kotomi trying to socialize / help out / fit in with people. Is that the "genius girl's challenge" I wonder?

[toxic_trance]

Well... Kotomi-chan finally gets a chance to show off her full Moe Potential

All her last few appearances have been so short but still some of the MOST Moe-Defining moments in history of anime

The preview was definitely funny, although it definitely was editing of scenes and joining them in random to give that effect. Neway, after a heart aching Fuko Arc...I guess I m ready for comedy again.. My heart wouldnt be able to take one more emotional episode

[kim8268]

Thats key for you (sorry for my english) they will get your adrenalin slowly going until your out of gas. before the release what do you think will be the story of kotomi?(base on apprerance and the prelude)

[Cattleya]

Looks like Tomoya will make Kotomi to join Nagisa's drama club.
The preview was funny indeed =)

Can't wait to see this episode!

P.S. I'll miss Fuu-chan...

[Takuto19]

Really looking forward to Kotomi's arc, just hope it's not too short heh.

[toxic_trance]

Ok..as much as I know this episode will rock..I still dont get why someone has already voted it a 9???

[panzerfan]

There is only one thing for me to say about this episode at this point:

Spoiler for Hack job at vector tracing:

[Kristen]

It's amazing to think that we are at episode 10 already. Time sure flies when there is a good anime.

And best part of all is that I don't have an 8 AM class tommorow or a 8:30 AM bus trip, so I can finally watch this as soon as I wake up!

[PhantomX]

random curiosity has screencaps up... looks like it's gonna be a fun ep. gonna wait for summaries

[Klashikari]

same as always:
Episode 10: bullet summary

gonna edit to write up the thoughts. Sure an excellent transition in mood and focus ^^

[harukamae]

Just watched this on NND ...I gotta say, this anime really has made its way into my top ten list. It's such a stress reliever and the animation is fantastic. (I really liked the "Dream World" sequence's animation)

I didn't think I would like Kotomi's episodes - she seemed like she would get too moe for my tastes, but I was pleasantly surprised and this episode was a blast to watch, even the next ep preview. I like the way the girls at the drama club meeting reacted to Kotomi and really tried to encourage her - that's the power of theater, it's not always about being a great and well-known actor, but about inspiring people to connect and put themselves out there.

LOL I look forward to more Manzai Kotomi and more bear-beatings for poor Sunohara! :-D

[Shiroth]

Spoiler for Why i love episode 10:

I love this episode.

[panzerfan]

Pachibel's Kanon dur D is the self-reference of this episode. I love this return to a more cheery tone coming out of the previous arc. I am glad that a sense of continuation is conveyed in the story, instead of merely neglecting everything that has happened beforehand...

[amoirsp]

Hm, this was like the only episode I wanted to watch raw without reading any spoilers on anything. On the other hand, if it was perceived as not so good, I might have just stopped watching. On the other hand of that, this is the route/arc I want to see the most.

So oops, I spoiled myself a little. XP Now to avoid blog reads and basing opinion on raw without thinking about what's in it, then reading later. I'll input my opinion later, as it probably won't be accurate until a sub, though a raw I can denote an impression.

Spoiler:

I dig that scene when Kyou is hugging Kotomi

[PhantomX]

Spoiler:

Hehe... Bi Kyou... and then there's Nagisa and Ryou... what is this anime coming too!?

[pagan poor]

Spoiler for Ep 10 spoiler:

MOE!!!! And looks like our moe queen is also a super heroine (or super villainess) with her violin playing power!

Kotomi hiding behind Tomoya, and hugging Tomoyo (and Kyou) was way too cute as well.

[Kaoru Chujo]

Well, Clannad finally has me on its wavelength. The past couple of eps have been great, and ep10 is wonderful. Terrific transition, as Klashikari said. Great job by Noto Mamiko, and great job by the staff. Great job by Nakamura Yuuichi as Tomoya. Great job by everyone, for that matter.

I too loved the hugging scenes: Kotomi-TomoyoBear and Kotomi-Kyou. And I especially loved the instant when Tomoya and Nagisa had their little vision together on the road and suddenly felt close to each other again.
