Clannad – 04
I see a strange person over there!
Summary:
Nagisa tells Tomoya the results of her meeting, and how she had broken the rules by putting up posters. Tomoya convinces her not to give up on her dreams, as Youhei observes from afar. When Youhei brings this up later, suggesting that Tomoya only joined the drama club to go out with Nagisa, Tomoya convinces Youhei that he only joined the club for Sanae’s amazing bread. Youhei asks to borrow Tomoyo’s breasts for class when they meet at school, but this results in the usual beating. The boys meet Fuuko soon afterwards, as she begins to call the two strange people. She makes them accompany her outside, but then expresses that she only wants to talk to Tomoya. Fuuko asks him about the present she gave him yesterday, then mentions her older sister’s wedding. She expresses how wonderful she was when she was at school, but Tomoya tells her that there would be no one there who would attend the wedding because it was so long ago. However, Fuuko still wants to do her best to find people.
Tomoya and Youhei meet Tomoyo again, and this time Youhei tricks her into following him into the boy’s bathroom. This results in his flying out of a high story window. As Tomoyo wonders what is wrong with them, Tomoya reveals that Youhei wanted to test if she was a girl or not because of her strength. This puts Tomoyo in a bit of shock, as she saw herself as a normal girl in school. Youhei appears before Tomoya and Nagisa later, expressing his wish to help the club. Nagisa doesn’t agree with his first violent suggestion, but she appreciates his thoughts. Tomoya imagines what this situation would be like in a role playing game, as Youhei brings up another idea. The three go outside to find the Fujibayashi sisters, and they call Ryou to the roof. When they tell her that Nagisa is the one who wants to talk to her, Ryou panics at the misunderstanding. When Nagisa finally reveals that she wishes for her help with the drama club, Kyou falls through the door.
After scolding the boys for their actions, Kyou finally gets the situation figured out. She asks Nagisa if she doesn’t have any other friends to help her besides the two boys, and even assumes Tomoya’s intentions. Ryou reveals that three members are required to start a club, but Tomoya and Youhei deny that they are those two. Youhei begins following Tomoya’s ridiculous advice about girls when they meet Tomoyo again the next day, and this results in a bigger humiliation for Youhei than he usually gets. Before Tomoyo can walk away, Tomoya asks her if she is interested in joining the drama club. Although she is interested, Tomoyo denies because of the upcoming student council activities. Tomoya visits Kotomi about the club afterwards, but they do not get very far because of her awkward personality.
Tomoya finds that Nagisa hasn’t had any luck either, and he thinks that this makes sense because the club closed down because of lack of interest in the first place. When Nagisa brings up students from lower classes, the two visit Fuuko in her usual room. Fuuko expresses that she has no interests in clubs as she is always busy. Tomoya guesses that she is lying because she must go home, but she continues to insist that she is always at school. After hearing her last name, Nagisa realizes that she is the younger sister of Ibuki-sensei. She knew of her because of coming back to school after leaving. Nagisa tells Tomoya of the accident that happened before, and that the woman who usually visits the store is Fuuko’s sister. Bringing up the usual conversation of ghosts, it is implied that this is none other than Fuuko.
Preview: More info on Fuuko. Look at all those faces~.
Impression:
I don’t know if words can really do this episode any justice, but wow. This was hilarious. I could not even imagine that I would be laughing this much at Clannad. Who needs real love comedies anymore? This was just about Seto funny. I found it strange how everyone was expressing how much they liked Youhei around last week’s episode time, but now I think I understand a bit. That guy is ridiculously funny. I think he’s got some chemistry going on for him with Tomoyo. I mean, I don’t think we need to ask who Tomoya is going to end up with anyways. One of the other highlights of this episode definitely had to be Ryou and Nagisa’s misinterpreted conversation. Oh, my sides are still hurting. Are you otaku asking for those doujins yet? Watching Nagisa eat meron pan was cute too. I ate some of that this morning. Forget Shana!
Not only was this episode funny, but the end left us with a bit of a shocker. No, I didn’t even come close to playing the game, so whatever. I was spoiled by Hinano about Fuuko’s sister, but I didn’t think anything of it at the time. Looking at her actions and dialog, I don’t think it would be surprising if Fuuko really was a ghost. Can you say Ayu? Geez, and I thought they were similar enough. That’s ok, she’s still my favorite razor wielding girl. I’m also interested in finding out why Tomoya is so insistent on having Nagisa follow through with her dreams. It makes me think that his past will be extremely emo when they reveal it (maybe he can borrow Fuuko’s razor). I’m all for cheering on Nagisa and her Hitohira efforts, but it looks like we’ll be more focused on finding out the truth about Fuuko in the next episode.

Fuuko = Ayu ripoff. I think thats the main reason I hate her (besides the fact that she needs to stick a starfish up her hoohaa)
@Hinano: Haha, Totali is not gonna be please about what you just say. lol
@Totali: Fuuko may not be my favorite character, but I still like her. I mean, who can resist when she says this: “Dribble…shoot!!! Yarimashita!!!” lol
If Youhei has some chemistry with Tomoyo, then I will be really pissed off.
Talk about Tomoyo, her combo is over 1,000 hits in only 4 episodes. If she can be a character in “Street Fighter” or “Guilty Gear” game, she probably can beat up every character with her + Tomoya combo. However, Kyou’s kick (along with her pantsu) from the last episode is still the best. Kyou FTW. Can’t wait for the sub.
Hinano > Nuuuuuu don’t say that!!! Fuuko is so awsuummmm!
kenshin514 > True Fuuko fans are hard to find x)!! What everyone seems to be guessing is that Tomoyo’s combo will be up to 9999 by the end of Clannad, lol. Bah Kyou…I prefer her Botan xD!
I concur, Fuuko is awesum and it could be surprising that I hated Ayu from Kanon…
Looks like a good episode, can’t wait till I see it…
You hated Ayu, say whaaatt?? Fuuko is definitely the most win for me right now though. “She looked like this!” Ahhhh~~~ *milk shoved up nose” LOL!
Oh, and you won’t be waiting long, considering that Eclipse practically releases the morning after the night the raw is released. xD
This got really interesting. I agree Fuuko = Ayu ripoff. I mean accident,no memory and in the hospital. That pretty much sums it up.lol. That love confession was too funny. I think Ryou was going to accept? Anyways things are getting interesting. I also notice that strange gril isn’t here that talks about loneliness and about the world.lol
Ryou DID accept LOL.
Nagisa:”I’ve always been thinking about it…but I finally found the courage!”
Ryou: “You thought about it for that long huh..”
Nagisa:”I don’t know what to think! Please listen to what I have to say!”
Ryou:”I understand! I’ll seriously listen!”
Nagisa:”Please…please…….please lend a hand in creating the drama club!”
Ryou:”Yes….HUH?”
Kyou falls out of the door
LOL well the translation probably veries but that’s about what I remember from it xD
LMAO!!!! WOW she said yes… To think I thought she was against Bisexuals… KYOU IS BI!!! And a great combo by the man himself… TOMOYA… LOL!!!! This was almost Seto funny… *sigh* SAAAAAN-CHAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!! Come back it’s a misunderstanding!! :3
The Nagisa/Ryou part was so awesome it made me want to die. Plus their expression when they’re interupted was the best. That is going down as one of the best things ever. Youhei is so awesome. He’s just like…awesome.
Youhei >>> Jun
This episodes was ~awesome~. AWESOME.
I don’t think KyoAni could jam all arcs in a 24 episode series. Besides…
Show ▼
Nocturn > I’m gonna steal this from Shirukii but….Kyou is bi/Ryou is bi!!!! San-chan? GOKAI DA!!
Fang-tan > You’re not talking about Jun from RM are you? LOL who do you compare those two!Yea those expressions were genius. xD
Chrys > wth LOL! But yea, I’ve been hearing so much that there is way too much for 24 eps to cover in the game…I’ll look for Fuuko… :S
I meant Jun from Kanon (as in Key anime side guy character face off, Jun Vs. Youhei). XD I didn’t think it’d be Jun from Rozen Maiden you synced it up with (no matter how awesome all three of them are).
Oh that guy. Man, I totally forgot about him. I think Yohei wins by default because of that…xD.
Tomoya and Sunohora are so funny! There are countless hilarious moments. Ohoho, and I think the emotional side is peeking too. I’m getting the vibe of some sort of sad ending for this series… *sigh*. Fuka is a ghost?! just in time for halloween too. Lol.
omg the cute Fuuko is a ghost -_- but Nagisa said her older sister just bought bread and told them she was visiting her sister at the hospital? so is her soul like wandering around the school or something? since she’s still hospitalized it would be strange having her “ghost” around =\
