Has it been mentioned what ails Nagisa? I don't think it's quite normal or conducive to have fever for half a year for no particular reason. I certainly didn't see something like this happening, but on the other hand these Key shows tend to be mixes of comedy and melancholy, so it's hardly totally unexpected.
I looks like whenever it's winter, she gets sick easily or something, and it keeps her bedridden for the next half a year to come. They claim she's unhealthy/weak, but I mean....AIDS sufferers probably fair better than her. (I'm joking, but this does seem like some severe immune deficiency.
I actually thought Nagisa's sickness would drive Tomoya to become a doctor, however impossible it seems for him.
It was very quick, as animus mentioned. So much that it looked like they were trying to conclude the story by episode 13. I had to confirm that After Story is indeed a ~24 episode series, since it was very good material to finish on IMO.
"Boton, doll!!"
"Puihi!" <- was just awesome

I'm thinking "Tomoyo After" really is what happens after and not an alternate story/reality.
That could mean Nagisa won't finish the year Tomoyo graduates.
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
From what I've heard, Clannad After Story is what you unlock after finishing the game (with all the different girls?). Tomoyo After is a sequel based off the Tomoyo ending. You can choose to have a romantic relationship with the different girls, and your ending will depend on that, from what I gather.

Yup, that's what I read/understood. I wonder what they'll choose for the anime though.Originally Posted by Buffalobiian
Is their will to show us Nagisa in a bas state so soon a choice for the future, or just a way to move on and go further in happiness?
I wouldn't mind something truly sad, even if it means loosing Nagisa. She isn't a character whose death would unbalance the show too much, I certainly do not whish for that, just that it could lead to a very interresting alternate way of telling a story.

Well unlike Key's other titles Clannad isnt an ero-game its actually the only game Key has made so far that doesn't show the girls in "adult" situations. The after story in game is when you go through or complete the girls "path" misae's, yukine's, kotomi, ryou, kyo, tomoyo, fuuko, komura,(yea the old guy....), and Nagisa as the final path; when After story is unlocked you finish some stories from before. By the looks of it they are going to go Nagisa's final route as to how they are going to show the final 4/5 stories is ....idk. To those wondering parts of this ep really did happen in game and its all a set up for their After Story.

This show is getting seriously melancholic. Not totally unlike the Tomoyo special.
The show still is entertaining, but for some reason I'm even more attached to the little side story. Don't know why, because after all it's short, simple and nothing really happens there.
Technical:
Sound encoding is different for SS-Eclipse and PAS/AQS.
The first ones use vorbis stereo and the later AC3.
The main difference I get is that the 2 low frequency "booms" you get at the begining of the op gos deeper/clearer in AC3 than vorbis. That's important to me as for some reason that deep sound really stirs something in my mind.

I like the Tomoya spice-of-life. Shows that he can look out for himself, even if he has to go through a lot of harsh training to achieve it. I like this episode.

I love Clannad to death, but these past couple of episodes have been somber through and through.
I like drama and tragedy, but Clannad feels lacking without the rest of the cast and antics that include Sunohara.
does anyone know what that Clannad Movie is about?
its a faster paced of s1 and an alternate ending from s2 w/o the other girl's paths.
thats as far as i can go w/o spoilers
yea it is staring to slow down but i guess they did it to develop tomoya and nagisa not only relationship wise but also personality wise hes actually trying now to be someone and to become independent unlike his former self...im tired ill add more once i get more sleep.... if i do......

Season 1 of Clannad had a lot of comedy in its slice-of-life school setting, with little development of relationships as such. People got together, and some were rejected, but there weren't many tests as such, since the main focus was to introduce all the characters and their respective arcs.
After Story, especially lately, leaves some of that behind, and explores the relationships between characters, rather than on the individual (and non-relationship problems) themselves. It's telling the story differently, and fans of Season 1's wel-scripted comedy will find this arc lacking. However, I find this as a necessary, and complimentary to the otherwise developed story of Clannad.
As for this episode, every time Nagisa or Tomoya says sorry, I was expecting one of them to break. Especially turning down the Founders Festival. School for Nagisa's probably just as hard emotionally as the work is physically for Tomoya. It says something about her swallowing all that disappointment and putting on a happy face for her tired boyfriend.

I like the reference from that lightsabre duel, but I also like how Tomoya's development is slow paced, but practically explained in details. Good episode.

When watching this, I'm feeling dreadful anticipation all the time. It's somewhat, nah, totally different compared to the first season for sure. At least we got the lightsaber and lizard scenes... Without those it would be hard to believe this is still the same series.
To anyone wondering, a Bengal Monitor Lizard isn't as cute as they make it out to be:
Poor Sanae...

Since the start of this arc, I always thought Yuusuke and Tomoya looked alike. Who would have thought the guy who broke them would do too:
