Finally got to see the rest of the series (14 eps in 2 days!).
What can I say? I am very pleased on how this series turned at the end.
The only thing I can not remember being explained is how Tomoya thought the play looked familiar. Or where did Nagisa heard it. Guess ep 24 or next season will explain it.
Fuko moments were great first, but soon became old.
EDIT:
Movie... what the hell???? Awesome... and damn... it almost made me cry...

Episode 24 by SS-Eclipse for those interested. DVD only episode apparently, I wouldn't know since I haven't watched this series, but figured you guys might want to know:

It's an alternate ending that features Tomoyo. I had watched a crappier sub by another group who I can't remember.
Tomoyo + Tomoya is just so much more natural than Nagisa.
The DVD special is significantly better than episode 23 and possibly even better than all the broadcast episodes in the series that don't involve Kyou being Kyou or Tomoyo being Tomoyo.
Honorable mention to Kotomi being Kotomi but she really doesn't compare to either of the two true contenders.
I can finally say we have a conclusive ending for CLANNAD. The ending always felt weak and rather open, with nothing concluded other than Nagisa won, and knowing the ending of her play.
At first I was wondering how they'd portray Nagisa and all the other relationships in this special, but soon enough, I found out the just left them out of the picture. Not that it impacted on the quality of this. I agree with Yuki, this is the most memorable CLANNAD episode, complete with a moving ED.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
I've watched all eps over the week-end.
Strangely enough, I have lost of shows I started and left unfinished, some with action well rated and so on... but can't go further with those yet... and there's clannad I watched with ease, no troubles, it was natural to do so.
I guess that romantic school life stories fit me quite well.
And I agree with those who root for the Tomoyo+Tomoya arc. I'm one of those.
In fact, even with the eps from the TV run this relationship was more acceptable to me.
Nagisa is like a sister to Tomoya, sometimes even like an underclassmate she isn't due to her age. Tomoya is kind to her, helps her a lot because it's in him to do so and lets him escape his boredom. Also, Nagisa's naïveness is probably soothing him, or enables him to believe a little more in others, or have his burden a little less heavy for some reason.
On the other hand, Tomoyo takes him for who he is and is the one supporting him. She gets nearer by being interrested in him. Nagisa is pretty much enclosed in her own circumstances and doesn't really get who Tomoya is and what she could do for him.
Tomoyo takes a firm grip on him, and prevents him from drowning in his own troubles. She's a strong willed, hard working girl, with a hard skin/armor, but kind heart. And Tomoya is the only one to know right from the start. Also, if I'm correct, Tomoyo is the only one that met his father and had a glimpse of the Tomoya's darkness. And she didn't fly away from him for that.
Yes I was very happy with that DVD only ep. And I too think it was a real ending.
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
Not that I am promoting it, but the unofficial patch for the game is out, or has been leaked. If you like it this much, I guess playing the game would be worth it, since it details all the other girl routes.
You can get the files via torrent, and maybe just google the patch or something.
So is this episode 24 the very last episode to come out for the series? It's officially done then?
Episode 24 is the end of Clannad, yes.Originally Posted by narutosharingan
Then you have the sequel, Clannad After Story, which airs October 2008
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Which I definitely can't wait for.
There is a reason the side story game, Tomoyo After: It's a Wonderful Life is as popular if not more so than the game it came from. Eps 24 shows that perfectly.
Wasn't that because of the H scenes?
Seriously though, I've played the game so far, and the anime really did a good job of adapting it. I'm absolutely glad they are going to release this sequel as an OAV. Can't wait.
Tomoyo after, and forever.
Peace.
I haven't played the game (not knowing Japanese is an unfortunately but valid reason), but based on this episode it's pretty safe to say it would have been a completely different anime if they had adapted a route with Tomoyo instead of Nagisa. Nagisa was perfect for the innocent, naive and clumsy humour (or humour laughing at such elements) the series was overflowing with. This extra episode, however, had zilch comedy, and while a whole series based on it wouldn't have needed to be that way, I think the director wanted to underline here what a completely different undercurrent this setting had. It was almost more like KGNE or something similar than the actual Clannad TV anime.
It was a good enough special but honestly I liked Clannad the way it was, without the darkness and cruelty present in this one.
A lot of the humor from the actual Clannad show is actually from the Tomoyo arc, mostly at Sunohara's expense... so one can say it is one of the funniest arcs in the game!
I just played the incomplete patch though, so I can't be sure...
All credit goes to Lucifus for the amazing signature and avatar!

For those of you who might be interested.
Ahhh that was awesome ^^
It's a shame Tomoyo was the only one to get her own storyline, i had hoped each of them would get one
So after finishing this series should i watch the movie or move on to the sequel?
Just move on to the second season. It continues the same story.
Has anyone here played the original game? I wanted to get some info and opinions in it.
I'm rewatching Clannad, and in episode 6 they cut to a "what if" moment involving Fuuko being sealed for several hundred years and a journey to "unseal" her. My question is if that is a parody of an existing anime, or just something thrown in creatively?
It's also in the game. I already finished that route.
I can't say if it is related to other works though
