As for school part, well, for example, K&R's route is full of feelings and has a touching story and ending too. I think that a lot of fans like Tomoyo for it's unique behavour and her story (but also, her route has a lot of personal "chemistry" relations, a lot of kisses, very active personal relations, some sweet moments, for example, and so on. Nagisa's and K&R's are different in this plan, well, if you played Clannad - you know what I mean) so, this is based only on their own preferences. Also, looks like Key also like Tomoyo. And TA, of course. Last edited by Littm; 2008-07-19 at 08:06. |

Clannad ~ Tomoyo Edition
First of all, I encountered no pacing issues whatsoever. This means that there was not a single time in the OVA that I felt lost or confused, except in the very beginning because I needed to "adjust" to the situation. After all, I watched this episode without knowing anything about it or expected to like it. For those who say that this could be better as a 2-3 episodes OVA, I must disagree. I was completely absorbed into the story for the entirety of the episode; thus, I don't see how it could have been any better. Dragging out the story for the sake of wanting more just doesn't make any sense, since it will probably lesson the suspence and overall emotional impact it had on me. Simply put, with no previous expectations or desire to watch this OVA, I was completely taken back by how good and impressive it was. Story: 10 Art: 9 Sound: 8 Character: 10 Enjoyment: 10 Value: 8 Emotional Impact: 10 Story-wise, it was excellent, and I repeat: I am not a Tomoyo fanboy. The mood in the beginning was awkward at first because I just simply didn't expect what was happening, but the relationship that Tomoyo and Tomoya has until she was made president is very romantic without ever going over the top. The story then progresses to an internal struggle in both Tomoyo and Tomoya, the struggle betwen affection and ambition. As both strive for their similar goals, they realize how much of an influence they have on each other, even after they both said their good-byes. For some reason, I was very touched by this, and every scene portraying their internal struggle and external façade was completely believable. I felt as if I was one of the two, facing the exact same pain. This is to be a sign of excellent script and directing, and for that, the adaptatio nand story gets a ten from me. The epsiode suceeded at conveying the message of how love cannot be simply replaced by something else because it cannot be easily sacrificed and forgotten. About several scenes that didn't make it into the episode, I'm sure that some might make the OVA a bit better, but this is after all an adaptation that requires the pacing of an animated work and not that of a game. I would have liked to see this famous kiss scene, but overall, the episode is already perfect without any other inclusions. If I were to rate this OVA completely from an enjoyment perspective, then it would undoubtedly get a ten. However, it correctly does not have any lasting thematic impact, so I will have to give it a nine. It is one of the only two anime that I have ever rate this highly due to enjoyment, and I am very glad to be able to watch this outstanding piece. Final Rating: 9/10, "Outstanding" Spoiler for My Rating Scale:

ty, im glad tomoyo held a popularity advantage over kyou. though a true kyou ending would be rather cool to see. thats true, the story is much more interesting if tomoyo beat nagisa. too bad the most we can do is deny nagisa's existence and go with tomoyo. |

Eh. After watching 23 episodes of Tomoya x Nagisa, I found it hard to care about Tomoyo x Tomoya.
I don't dislike her, but I'm not precisely enamoured with her either. What touched me most about Clannad weren't the whole pairings things, but the individual stories of the girls. Especially Fuko's. Tomoyo's is the one I cared the least about. |

Anyway, this episode was enjoyable. Not my favourite, but it was good enough. Although, I'll have to jump on the bandwagon and say that I really, really, REALLY dislike that song. It would have been much better if that damn song wasn't there, and they'd played some instrumental-track instead... I think.

Well this was easily my favorite episode being a Tomoyo fanboy, more need to be said? Ofc I'm bias
But in all seriousness I dont really care about whether this was canon or not as long as the story is good and this was good. Not in a masterpiece way but touching it was and by not having much development leading to it being only just a one shot episode, it did well in conveying that feeling. It would be more meaningful if you've play the game though but even without that it was emotional. Perhaps it isn't very deep for more analysis but the simple problem still packs enough impact without being that "deep". A very enjoyable episode

Does anyone here speak English that could translate the lyrics of Ana? I didn't understand any of it...
But seriously, I was looking forward to this OVA, because for me, just about every episode of Clannad has been very sweet while maintaining a very high level of interest from me throughout each episode. I was also looking forward to seeing what we missed in Tomoyo's Arc from previous episodes. When I first saw Clannad she struck me as the prettiest of the bunch, it was sort of a shame we'd have to skip out on some of her story. But 20+ minutes of relationship trouble is the last thing I need. I found the plot predictable and boring. All the character's actions seemed to go for as much melodrama as possible, it's the sort of stuff I'd expect from a primetime TV drama. I loved the whole story about Tomoyo from the first season about her relationship with her family and how her brother's actions showed her how important family is. So I thought it was a little bit from left field when Clannad stopped going on about the theme of family and more into relationship issues this episode. Tomoya bothered me a bit too, if other peoples comments on their relationship started to get to him, I was hoping he'd let Tomoyo know with actual words to be more prudent about things like using the PA system for personal uses and to start to get up early himself. I mean, why are you waiting until after you break up to start waking up early you bozo?! I wish they could have solidified Tomoyo's feelings in the episode a little more too, by showing why she likes Tomoya so much, maybe a montage in the beginning about how they started to date romantically would have helped. All in all I thought it was Average, so I gave it a 6, it was mildly entertaining and amusing at times, I never really bought into the drama, which is the first time that's happened for me in a kyoani adaptation.
