Awesome. It's amazing how another episode comes this fast. I'm looking forward to it.

[AuditionEX]

Cant wait for it lulz.

[Kristen]

I think they're going to do a lot of Tomoyo this episode, and maybe even try to finish it. Something just tells me that they wouldn't want to leave a major cliffhanger with a 1 week resolution between break weeks...

Ah well. Hopefully this'll be like episode 12 and leave us all satisfied for the break.

By the way, while episode 17s always seem to be really good, 18s always seem to be really bad... I hope this breaks that curse for me.

[Rembr]

A new hurdle with the recent episode is that the girls in question, Kyou, Ryou and maybe Tomoyo, really do have an actual romantic interest towards Tomoya, as opposed to Kotomi and Fuuko who were on a platonic level. I'll look forward to the resolution that Kyoani cooks up for them.

Especially Kyou's, because she is delicious.

[SidVicious]

I'm still missing Nagisa.

[TomoyoSakagami]

Kyou + Tomoyo + Tomoya = Good Episode ^^

But seriously, Tomoyo's arc is here...or at least that's what i assume, can't wait I JUST CAN'T WAIT AHAHHAHAHAHHA!

[Bankai29]

Me want Kyou/Tomoyo arc...^^

[Deathscyther]

I miss Nagisa too, but we'll get to see her soon again^^
I hope they'll do a bit of the kyou arc as well. I like her

[bladeofdarkness]

last ep preview had given me an impression that ep 17 would be as meloncoly as hell and be all about tomoya feeling lonely
instead 17 was one of my favoirte eps
it was funny as hell for most of it
and had not one but three major events
the lesson is DONT COUNT ON THE PREVIEW
that and never underestimate kyoani

[Kristen]

So by the looks of it...

Spoiler for Episode 18:

I think it seems like this is the end of the Tomoyo arc. I guess it makes sense, since there really was not much material in the game that could be adapted without making Tomoya and Tomoyo dating. I just wish that they they would have given her an arc of her own instead of just mixing her in with everyone...

[Nite]

Spoiler for episode 18:

I don't think Tomoyo's arc ended yet, one of the preview shots for ep 19 did show Tomoyo.

Looking at the caps, the episode seemed to deviate from Tomoyo's story a bit more compared to the last episode. It did look like Kyoani had some fun with all the different outfits though.

The end of the episode certainly looked confusing as to what happened. But then again, I've only seen caps, not the actual episode.

[Klashikari]

Let's see:
Episode 18: Bullet summary and screencaps.

This episode sure nails definitely the "route", and it is quite a nice way to give a closure to the fujibayashi twins.
What was actually nice was the way how the competition had many flavours: comedy and some bitterness.
Yet the developments are set to mention, and it is nice to see how it is keeping a cohesion between the characters, not a dumb modular succession of arcs

[SidVicious]

Yeah, she's back!

[SeedFreedom]

Spoiler:

NOOO! No freaking way Tomoyo gets a measly 3 episodes of screen time to share with Kyou. INJUSTICE I tell you At least my the looks of screenshots we find out who Tomoyo is pushing in the wheelchair

[Mai Kawasumi]

The episode was painful for me...

Spoiler for Tomoyo and Kyou:

When Tomoyo realize that Okazaki was doing all this for Nagisa, she was sad, and I feel bad for her... but when Kyou starting crying was worst, I feel terrible

[sobaro]

it’s wonderful episode
i want to know how kyou will deal whith this position
but we must wait until 28feb to know

[AuditionEX]

Here's some bawww moment...

Spoiler:

To be honest, we're not going to get anything of a Tomoyo or Kyou route as Ishihara mentioned until much, much later...

That, or you can play the game when I've finished the project.

Where does everybody watch the new episodes when they come out?
