Embarassment because Sunohara said he saw something blue besides the sole of her shoe (ie her panties would be the best guess). Which is the reason for the follow up kick.

Yeah that "WIPE IT FROM YOUR MIND" comment and the immediate shift from anger to embarrassment points to a panty shot. Poor Sunohara is just a women's show magnet, but he always seems to bring it on himself so maybe he's got a fetish.
I must echo the sentiments about Furusawa, the only times in the episodes where I find myself losing interest are when she's involved, though she had some good scenes near the end of 3. Ideally they would just leave her and pursue the more interesting relationships but I coudl settle for more of her as she was when they were practicing her speech.
And why has no one mentioned the trash robot and the girl who made it? What the heck was that all about? I guess the girl could be a more grown up Furusawa from the hair color, but I couldn't really see any other similarities between her and any other character introduced so far.
I guess nobody has mentioned it because nobody has any idea what it is. I tend to think it's either a depiction of some character's inner world (mental state) or perhaps it's a story one of the characters is writing. It doesn't seem to fit very well together with the rest of the series otherwise, thus I don't consider it to belong to the same world.
Really?! The first impression I got was a younger version of Furuwawa. Then again, I had another look, and they're similar, but not really identical. I can see no relationship with the robot whatsoever.Originally Posted by Yukimura
Friday without Clannad would be like #gotwoot without DF... Oh, wait. That already happened. What a bad omen.
Episode 4 h264 - SS-Eclipse
Episode 4 xvid - SS-Eclipse
To think that Fuka is a ghost... she's my favourite character >.<
Anyway, Dango. Dango. Dango. Dango. lol.
<3 Tessa-chan! <3 Lucifus! ....chotto mate.
Aye. I don't know what to think about it. Considering it's so close to what happened in Kanon. The girl's trapped in hospital yet still is wandering around. Oh well, if it works then it works. Time will tell.
Very funny episode otherwise. Especially the trick with the juice and straw...Damn I laughed when that happened. You see that kind of stuff only in Kanon and this series. I don't remember any other title that would have nonchalantly presented anything like it. The girlxgirl confession scene was more traditional but executed really well.
A great episode once again.
One thing I really like is that Tomoya is a bit of an asshole. Yukito in AIR was a lazy bum, but nice. Yuuichi was nice to everyone. Tomoya on the other hand doesn't hesitate to mess around with people. All the things he makes Fuko do, the traps he gets Sunohara into, the not-so-nice things he says to Nagisa, and especially this episode, the Nagisa x Ryou yuri confession he masterminded. After he's had his fun, he tends to do something nice, but still.
Kyou still ends up being my favorite. She's very overprotective of her sister, no surprise there. One has to wonder how her deeper role (being named in the OP instead of her sister) will start. Who doesn't like the way she was stately sitting in the chair, lording over Tomoya and Sunohara? She did point with her leg, without even a second thought. And they were right at her waist level...
A little bit of Tomoyo development this time. She was worried about being viewed as mannish. Hmm.
Seems like a lot of people have darker pasts.
Tomoya -> Father issues. Sunohara -> Soccer scholarship (like Tomoya's basketball one) but he never plays. Fuko -> ghost? Tomoyo = ?
Kotomi seems like a waste of space though. Maybe some other people are into that kind of thing, but even Mamiko Noto can't save the role for me.
---------------
note: Am I just paranoid coming off of Lucky Star, or did I catch sight of Haruhi (without her ribbon) cleaning erasers outside towards the end of the episode?
I am totally falling in love with this anime. It's just great. Loved the Yuri moment and the part where he has Sunohara do all those things then kicking him back to Tomoyo at the end. It's funny how the number of kicks remain and just add up in every ep.
CLANNAD OP ED by Nipponsei is out!!

Hmm, Fuko=ghost. Not so often that you find a ghost what can sculpture, let alone stick a straw up. We'll get more development on that next ep.
Had a couple of different things change this episode. More than one encounter of Sunohara vs Tomoyo. No girl and robot scene at the start, and no Kyou's lethal pitches.
I really like how Clannad is turning out. It's got a light feel to it, but yet it's developing solidly.

Tomoyo is my personal favorite. I really love her voice and character. It just feels perfect in unison.
Peace.
Okay... I'll start getting a month behind...
SS-Eclipse just released first ep on widescreen
AVI: [SS-Eclipse] Clannad - 01 (704x400 XviD) [8DBA8169].avi
MKV: [SS-Eclipse] Clannad - 01 (1024x576 h264) [310AA9E5].mkv
Thus... I shall wait this version now.
Excellent, now that they're having the characters interact with one another more Nagisa's short-comings are getting shored up and she 's become interesting to watch.
The yuri scene was good fun (I guess if I'd seen dozens it wouldn't have been so great but thits is only #2-3 for me). Fuko is so kawaii it hurts so I guess it would make sense that she was unnatural (more likely explanation...she ran/runs away from the hospital). Kyou makes a great queen bee, with her foot pointing and regal arrogance, but like many queen bee types her tough but collected front disappears when her sister is involved. And the smart girl... maybe she's a savant or something because lacks even basic social interaction skills and attention span. And last but not least Tomoyo reveals more and more about herself with each Sunohara ass kicking. I suspect she had a harsh upbringing under a martial arts teacher/ninja father figure but now she's trying to regain some normality in her life.
Savants and servants, nobles and vassals:

Edit This show continues to rock. The scene with the spontanious sex change... You only see something like that in series like Kanon and this. While the scene as such was totally absurd it was still strangely realistic in the sense how Tomoya couldn't even watch it because he was laughing so hard. This really is a unique way how they are taking the story forward and how they are developing the characters.

Its a fun story and the character's are great, but I'm surprised how okazaki can time after time effortlessly mix people into these pranks. Don't get me wrong, I've met some really gullible people in my life. But I don't think I've ever seen this many airheads lined up in a room before.
BTW, whats up with the ending song? For some reason its one of the few I patiently listen to. I hope it doesn't get stuck in my head.

THis episode did suffer some from a lack of Tomoyo (why would they name her Tomoyo when the main character's name is Tomoya....) but it was still very funny and excellent. Fuko's air headedness seems to be contagious but it produces such good results.
Too many good laughs to list for me.
Seems like Fuko will take center stage for a couple of episodes. This is really making me think as to whether Fuko is really a spirit or ghost. Everything seems that way, but, ghosts don't usually touch things...
Instead of meeting Fuko up with her sister, getting her to go to the hospital with the Sensei would be the best idea. (though not from the point of view regarding storyline or psychological shock)
This is a KEY series, ghosts can tackle people, and consume copious amounts of food outside. It's so nice hearing Yuko Minaguchi (Akiko in Kanon) play the older sister type again.
True there was no Tomoyo, but we did get plenty of Ryou/Kyou, as well as Akio and Sanae. Sanae even got to play teacher.
Nagisa's reaction about Tomoya's single status made the episode for me though, it was so cute.
Aw no Tomoyo.... I miss her..The part where they trick fu-chan about Tomoya turning into a girl was the best. Her responses are so innocent and funny.
It drops off every now and again...oh, it reattached.
I also enjoyed the peeping tom part. And picking the neighbour's last name...she almost deserved that punch.
Is Sanae voiced by the Seiyu who also did Belldandy?
I wonder if we'll run into that Senior girl again. She was really cool (in a bad way) to Fuko after the introduction.
