A whole Christmas later, this thing still exists.

Filler and timeskips=Short and unnecessary entry. ;_;

A lot of this felt like the same formula 4 Episodes ago, except with more filler: half the episode was dedicated to a pointless baseball game. There’s probably some lesson about growing up somewhere there, but I’m not buying it anymore, because I don’t want to watch over 9 minutes of Tomoya striking out just to have him ask if he can marry Nagisa. The first episode already had enough baseball, and it’s fine to have it as a minor activity, but enough’s enough: God knows how much longer this would be if it’s another scene from the VN, I wouldn’t want to go through in-game days of dialogue several times just for this.

A drunk Nagisa is fine too

I do, however, welcome drunk comedy. Twas the only thing missing in this series.

*stare*

Thus, the only real plot driving event becomes Nagisa’s private graduation in Spring, finally enabling her to start her adult life. It was nice to see everyone else again (even those music students whose names I forgot showed up…probably be the last time we see them too), granted most of them only had about one or two lines of dialogue, and I have to wonder how Kotomi was able to just up and fly back to Japan just to attend this graduation; like in the movie and Tomoyo Chapter, Sunohara stopped dying his hair in order to become more presentable at work, which is always a bit weird to see.

And to put an end to this time-skipping madness, we see what I assume to be a slightly older looking Tomoya and Nagisa announcing their marriage to Tomoya’s father (who’s still in jail after however so many months have passed), who congratulates and wishes luck to the two. While that’s nice and dandy, it’s a bit frustrating that after all of this, the two still haven’t kissed each other, which I think should be appropriate by now. From the looks of the preview, however, we might not have to wait any longer…

PREVIEW

USHIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! ^_^

To make up for this inexcusably short entry, have some Sanae breasts.
