Clannad TV

[Ryllharu]

Tomoyo was standing with the brown-haired girl from the annex library. Though if they had been, I wouldn't have minded.

He does talk to her the most out of anyone in the school. Since they're clearly going for the Nagisa route as the final, it would be nice to see one of the girls who isn't "the winner" paired up with someone else instead of being alone.

If you think about it, despite always trying to figure out if she is a man in disguise, Sunohara gives her a lot of attention. There was even a scene or two a couple episodes back where their rivalry was beginning to soften.

[Buffalobiian]

Was Tomoyo with that bastard Sunohara???? She and that cretin were the only students wearing outside clothes, so it kind of implies they went together.

Tomoyo? You meant the dorm lady right? Tomoyo was in school uniform. The only ones that stood out who where in formal wear were Sunohara, dorm lady and Nagisa's parents. Just rewatched the ep again, and was thinking if she woke up, whether everybody will remember everything again, or at least Tomoya and Nagisa plus a few others.

[shinta|hikari]

Oh so thats who that girl was. Mistook her for Tomoyo.

And we start a new arc with Clannad episode 10

h264

edit: from ss-eclipse of course.

edit2: So Ryou likes Tomoya? Or at least that's what Kyou reckons. I got that impression in the first ep, when Ryou blushed when she saw Tomoya and Nagisa talking on the grass. After the bittersweet ending of the Fuko arc, the humor's back and kicking, quite literally.

[Kraco]

Somehow I get a feeling the theater club is never going to happen. People seriously get distracted there all the time.

And yes, it indeed looks that way with Ryou. I had forgotten that. It's not like she would be too visible a character, though. I wonder if anything will be done for her during the series, that is, if she even has anything Tomoya can help with.

[animus]

Kyou needs to take the spotlight soon and have her arc.

I really liked the Ichinose hugging Tomoyo in the Bear Costume thing. And haha @ Sunohara, what was he trying to say when he said Rezombie?

[kooshi]

Great episode to start the beginning of a new arc. I gotta say, I felt a little bad for Tomoya for getting quite a beating this episode. First, getting run over by Kyou's scooter. Second, getting THE kick during the circle of introductions. Haha, for me, that kick has become the best kick in the series so far.
Maybe the whole RyouxTomoya thing will be resolved when Kyou's arc comes around. Been kinda suspecting it since ep 1, but wasn't really sure about it.

[Yukimura]

Lol I thought I wouldn't like Kotomi but she's quite alright, I like her little quirks like "Are they going to bully me?" and introducing herself to Tomoya instead of the person in front of them (which did get old exactly where Tomoya pointed it out which was just hilarious). I'm quess her arc will involve her learning how to socialize, which probably won't be as heavy as Fuuko's arc, but night reveal some interesting things about her past and of course bring the charachters closer together.

Kotomi x Tomoyo in the bear costume was probably my favorite scene, with Kyou's delayed Destiny Kick a close second.

[Ryllharu]

Well, they've been bringing most of the storylines in earlier (typically the following arcs plotlines into the current arc, excepting Nagisa) so as not to make the shift in plot so abrupt. It really flows much more nicely.

So Ryou like Tomoya, and Kyou is more than happy to help her younger sister along. But the hints have been there all along. Ryou has often gotten embarrassed when Tomoya shows up with another girl from seemingly nowhere. Only with Kotomi she was visibly disturbed. Was Fuuko too loli and Nagisa still so adamant to deny it for Ryou to be bothered?

I still enjoy how everyone assumes that Nagisa and Tomoya are going out. They may try to deny it...

[Buffalobiian]

And haha @ Sunohara, what was he trying to say when he said Rezombie?

He was trying to say "revenge".

Kotomi's past seems to be the key to her, I think. Sure, she was scared and all with all the introducing, but she was uncomfortable in a different way when they mentioned her parents being scholars. Maybe she's been trying to live up to their extraordinary standards all her life. It's funny how they're trying to teach Kotomi socialising skills by learning from Tomoya's jabs.

Ah, now that makes sense.

[Kraco]

Master the jabs and become an excellent scholar.

Episode 11 h264 - SS-Eclipse

[animus]

Haha, some of these scenes are crazier than those in Minami-ke.

[Kraco]

It was an interesting dream, at least!

[Yukimura]

Lol, another awesome episode. Kotomi is almost as cute as Fuuko in her own absurd way. And what was the deal with Kyou talking with Tomoya about girls? Was she referering to Ryou or herself (I can't remember if Kyou gets good grades or not but I wouldn't be surprised at all if she had her own interest in him)? And of course overly dramatic cameos from the best anime parent duo ever.

I really like how they find ways to incorporate so many previously established characters into each episode fairly seamlessly. Even though Tomoyo, the Fujibayashi's and even the Dorm Leader aren't seemingly involved with the plot at all they don't let us forget that they exist and keep dropping little hints about them so if the plot moves to them it won't feel strange at all. Good storytelling IMO.

[animus]

I think she might get good grades, she is a Class Rep though that doesn't exactly entail her good grades, but it should mean she's dedicated I guess (and seemingly lucrative, blackmailing those students to join the recital).

The death scenes after the concert were great, indeed.

[Buffalobiian]

Plenty of good laughs. Actually having some trouble remembering how sad the Fuko arc was after this ep. I'm pretty sure Kyou was talking about her sister. They've made Ryou's feelings even more obvious this ep. Kyou sure has her way with people, guess that's how she got to be class rep. Kotomi actually DID improve too. Slight melody amongst that barrage of sound waves.

I'm thinking that guy at the end was Kotomi's dad or something. It looks like they're moving or something, just as Kotomi has made friends.

edit: Tomoyo's voice was especially deep this week.

[Ryllharu]

Too much of Miya-Miya Black? (bamboo blade reference for those uninformed)

She did get to meet her idol. Perhaps instead of getting all high pitched, Tomoyo goes lower?

Mahou Shoujo Kyou was still my favorite moment of the episode.

[animus]

More like Mahou Neko Shoujo Kyou (Not sure if that's the right positioning ah well). It was hilarious, but Okazaki's reaction to his imagination was just as great.
