It’s when watching this kind of anime that I love the japanim.

It also doesn’t hurt to tell a great story, and to have great artwork and animation.

A Kyou route would have made Clannad even better.

“You know, it’s hilarious how every single Kyou rabid fanboy still thinks that Tomoya is going to end with Kyou.”
Ok, let’s clarify: I am a Kyou fanboy (whether I am rabid or not is left to your appreciation), I wish that Tomoya would end up with her, but it wouldn’t make any sense in the show for it to happen.

That being out of the way, about bringing Nagisa back to life…
It is sad that Nagisa died. It is sad that Tomoya never had the life he should have had with her and Ushio.
However, in my understanding, Clannad is also about coping with life, doing your best with the cards you are dealt with (even when these cards spell illness or death). And I can’t help but think that bringing Nagisa back to life after five years would be “too much”.

I cried when Tomoya started singing the Dango song.

Fuck…
Fuck…
Yesterday, I just watch all Clannad AS episodes from 5 to 20… T.T
I never cried like this watching an anime, not even watching Kanon or Air…T.T
Clannad is indeed for me the best anime since a long time…
Wonderful and adult slice of life between Tomoya and Nagisa since episode 8, the happiness of the start of their life, the sadness of the loss, the happiness with Ushio…
The last few episode were completely heart-breaking.
It completely destroyed me when Ushio said that this robot was important because it’s the first thing she got from Dad, when she says that she can only cry in Daddy’s arms and that she wants to, combined with her cuteness, it destroyed me, I could’nt stop my tears (even though I didn’t cry watching Air)… T.T
No matter how many times I watch it, I can only cry…
I cried once again when she explains Fuko about his mom in episode 20, and when we see how much Tomoya still love Nagisa, and do love Ushio.
If KyoAni do a bad end for Tomoya and Ushio, I won’t be able stand it…
I will cry every night for at least two weeks.
But I hope they wont, nobody can do something like that to such a wonderful little girl… I hope so…

Concerning Nagisa, I love her, I don’t want to see a story between Tomoya and one of the others girls from season 1, but I don’t really want Nagisa to come back, it would destroy everything the anime set in place during the last episode, the relation between Ushio and Tomoya, I think as “the deceased mother” (it kill me to write that T.T), she still has an important role in the story.
Besides, like ithekro says, the story is now gonna be focus on Ushio and Tomoya.

Anyway, Clannad season 1 was good, but not on the same level that the others KyoAni for me (Air, Kanon), but Clannad AS is the best thing they have ever made.
It’s when watching this kind of anime that I love the japanim.
Clannad AS FTW! T.T

Have a good day, mina (because mine is gonna be teary T.T)

Actually, is watching Tomoya’s reactions to the mentioning of Nagisa, the look he gives the photo of Nagisa, and his crying in his sleep while dreaming of what could have been….he’s not ready to move on. That much should be clear. He’s managed to stop blaming and moving up to being a father. But he’s clearly not ready to let someone take Nagisa’s place in his heart. Maybe in time that wound would heal, but then again maybe it won’t.

Some people remain widowers for life simply because they loved their spouce, and no one can replace them in their mind or heart. It is just how some people are. Other people get hitched five minutes after the funeral because they can’t stand being alone. People are different.

It is just that the way Tomoya’s feelings are presented…he’s not interested in replacing Nagisa. Not at this point at least. And with the sudden fever…he’s not going to be interested either…his focus is on Ushio. On being a father.

Definitely not. I shouldnt of even wrote her name. I was just trying to level with him, cuz I dont see them two being nothing but friends. It was proven in like episode 20 of Clannad that she was never seen more then friend anyways.
