Oooh, school life nostalgia.

-2 years off Nagisa’s lifespan because of this. What a great (future) husband.

Didn’t really like Nagisa part of the episode, mainly because I just realized how boring Nagisa is when she’s not with any of the others. We know Nagisa gets eccentric at things, so it’s not all that amusing the next time around, especially with characters we know nothing about. Her friend-making at the end felt kinda pointless and bittersweet, since Lala-san (I sweat that’s Tomatsu Haruka from to-LOVE-ru, Kannagi) is destined not to show up later. Hell, I bet she probably forgot about her after graduation and didn’t even know Nagisa died pre-reset. Some friend. D:<

FUCK YEAR, KYOU FANSERVICE.

Still, it’s nice to have an “Episode 0,” the main draw being Tomoya and Sunohara’s first meeting with Kyou and consequently the beginning of Kyou’s attraction to Tomoya; I wonder why they didn’t go ahead and have Ryou’s own first meeting with them, but I was too busy with the return of tsuntsun-deredere Kyou (you know, back when he had a chance?) to care, as I’m sure we all were. I guess it’s KeyAni’s way of making up for the poor integration/almost complete axing of her route from the main story; it won’t ever make up for it, but if they were able to take Yukine’s romance-centric route and turn it into a gang fight, maybe I’d rather not see what might happen…but that’s another rant for another day.

Aaaaaand, one more for the road here…

Attack it’s weak point, etc.

And crabs are expensively delicious. How could THIS bread possibly taste horrible? Has Akio not heard of motherfucking crab cakes?

PREVIEW

…WTF? Instead of animating something interesting like Kyou Route or Reunion, it’s a fucking compilation episode? Unless it’s everyone remembering stuff at a picnic or something, I really see little point in one.

Unless they’re stalling to announce Little Busters!….probably not. ;A;

…So, do we put closing thoughts now or later?

    hmm I didn’t expect Kyoani to animate the Clannad Another Story compliations – specifically Nagisa and Kyou stories blended together with altercations.

    Looks like Kyoani decided to chose Kyou story from the compliations to give more spotlight to those sisters, since their stories are one of the most incompatible ones with the anime version of this story.

    Still, if you need to know Kyou/Ryou story, 80% of it is already shown in the first session episode 17 and 18 – and a little bit on episode 11. So their story is hardly “almost completely axed”. In fact, it’s thanks to the anime that they get to have more role than they really did in the After Story portion.

    One more thing…..I wouldn’t trust any bread made by someone who managed to put out rainbow breads……how the hell did she made a bread that’s like a prism!

    What “Some guy” said. Looking forward to a compilation, as it’ll be nice to look back on the journey we’ve made in Clannad. Retrospective for the win.
