Clannad After Story 22

I couldn't wait either, but I've always been watching the raws for this particular series, of course I cried a river, and I was watching the first half earlier and remembered the OP

I enjoyed the epilogue portion as well as Fuko's little thingy, and grown up Mei....hhmm i want the loli one moar, but she's legal now right?

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention grown-up Mei-chan. That was awesome and a half.
But I'm shocked that you prefer the loli one. :lol:

:shock: wait , wait, ur shock that I prefer the loli! *insert wtf is this shit pic*

The older Mei looks hot. :D

I'm still confused on the extra episode but I guess I'll find out next week.

Pics of older Mei NAO!!

GAH! I can't watch this! I can't! Not until the subs come out, that is.

subbed version is out

hmm

yeah i alawy thought it was something like that^^

Thanks for letting me know.

This episode was awesome, but at the same time lame. I wanted a happy ending but it was time travel. The time travel kind of ruined the ending for me. Tho key made it so damn good that I didn't care about what makes sense and as drowned in my happiness.

!!!!!!!

oh lawl, wait....this isnt the end?

(teen mei pics nao!)

Since people kept asking:



and


I totally agree, all that crying and

K i seriously want a gif of 13:45-13:54 that scene gets me every time, and I just love it
EDIT: I asked for this in the request section, if someone makes one it might become my new ava

well all i have to say is, its been a long funny, dramatic, sad, happy journey. this will go down as one of my favorite animes for sure.



well KEY cant wait for your next anime thats for sure.

Eclipse be damned for taking their precious time ...

Anyways - I won't complain about the ending since I (and the rest of the world) expected nothing else and it was nicely done/touching (I even got teary-eyed at some point and that's definitely rare with endings of this sort). I loved all 16 minutes of it ...

What I'm frustrated about is the Fuko part. It's not that I hate her (though she's far from being amongst my favorites) but she once again did something that made me dislike her in the past - she ate up screentime. That scene could have (and should have, concerning this was the 'final' episode and she was but a support character) been shorter and the remaining time spent on either more scenes of T+N+U or the rest of the girls (I doubt anyone would mind either). She got the longest arc in season 1, kept randomly popping out after it ended and now this ... Neither Tomoyo nor Kyou got half this much focus and they sure as hell deserved it.

Speaking of Tomoyo. The first thing that came to my mind after seeing this was - 'damn, she's got style till the very end' but the longer I think about it, the further she seems from getting a conclusion of any kind and is always shown like waiting for something. I know this is far-fetched like hell but maybe, just maybe they're thinking about animating Tomoyo After ?

So it finally got subbed huh! Now I can let myself burst forth.


I think you're missing the point.

Remember those few lines that talked about how if you loved the city you lived in as a big family, it would reciprocate and love you back. It's supposed to be a parallel to familial love. If you hate your family, there is no way they will be able to love you back in return, and as a result, you lose your family. This was what happened to Tomoya. He hated his father for disabling his arm, did not forgive him, hated the city, and as a result he lost everything.

I too am normally not a fan of "oh let's zip back to the beginning and totally change it all!" endings, but I loved this one. It really highlights the joys of family, how awesome things are when you play the cards right. After all the torturous emotional pain they put us through in the previous episodes, it would crush me if they had something lame like Tomoya committing suicide, his last words being "I hate this city" or something. As for the validity of going back in time and having everything work out for the better, although it doesn't make sense and technically will never happen, I see it as representing the power of miracles. That there is forgiveness in this world, that hope actually has the power to violate the laws of nature. There's also that semblance of the notion that good people deserve better than losing everything. Of course, dead people cannot be revived, but it's more symbolic than "it is a fact that if you make enough people happy you can do anything you want".

Gawd, the string of scenes showing how the lives of everyone turned out with the "maturified" Dango song was so damn awesome. And yeah, the Fuuko end sequence was a little too much for me; there is a limit to how much of something should be put in. I wanted more T+N+U too.


Curious you bought this up, but Mycstea directed me to a blog about a week ago: the blogger said that he had just received insider animation that Tomoyo After would be adapted into a 60-minute movie by, guess who? Kyoani. They also said they'd animate Planetarian, another of Key's works, too, in a 30-minute episode. Of course, the veracity of this information is questionable, but it's still awesome news nonetheless.

Well, this is Good (unconfirmed) news. It's about time they animate Planetarian. But when will it be Little Busters turn....


After watchin this "final" episode of Clannad, I just went EMO. KEY has never failed to make me cry manly tears. And seeing all the characters mature leaves a nice impression on me. :D

Let the clue/gossip hunt begin then. Got a good feeling 'bout this ...

Noticed they've added a little something to the ED BTW. Not much but it still made me smile.
