Very nice episode. I think everyone canr relate (or at least being reminded) of their first day at work. Tomoya will eventually realize that he doesn't have to put his work before everything else.

I swear, this arc is touching me a lot more than all others that came before. I know how distraught I was when I screwed up at my job a few times. And I remember people telling me not to worry. And I remember telling others who screwed up and caused some problems to not worry because it's all fine. And not having time is so relatable, even if I don't have a girlfriend.

As far as drama is concerned, Clannad might be overdoing it a bit. But as for the slice-of-life elements, it's the best I've seen so far. I usually hate SoL but I can't help but be totally engrossed in the story of these characters, as mundane as it may be.

Lovin' it!

Nagisa is adorable, but, also kind of dumb? She sounded like such a simpleton when she was singing the Founders' Festival "song" while preparing dinner.

Haha, they're going through a tough ride, however both he and Nagisa are patient and reasonable with each other. Beautiful. Work is tough sometimes.

The first thing that came to mind midway as I was watching was how REALISTIC this episode in particular feels. It really feels like an actual SLICE OF LIFE. There's nothing extraordinary or exaggerated, it just feels like the daily grind of life. But it doesn't make it seem like an endless, slaving-away grind but just... life. I haven't encountered a show that does this as well as Clannad: After Story.

These two are so heartwarming and feels like they're already married. They should just marry as soon as Nagisa graduates because really they look like it. Can't wait to watch more!

P.S Nagisa is definitely wife material. Best wife.

P.P.S. thumbs up to Okazaki for getting points with the in-laws lol

Tomoya receiving his own official work card with his name on it kinda touched me, not gonna lie.

Ok so leaving aside the unnecessary comedy skit with Sanae and Akio, this was a wonderful episode overall. Tomoya is doing his best at his job and I gotta respect the sense of responsibility he has with it. His work environment also seems friendly enough so I'm glad there won't be some dumb drama with co-workers being jealous of him for some reason and stuff.

Nagisa is such a nice girl.
When her parents were running on the street, I genuinely held my breath for a moment due to a feeling they would be run over by a car.

I love how understanding Yoshino is, best bro.

Nagisa is the best wife, understanding and supportive, still, Tomoya needs to make up to her for not going to the festival.

I really enjoyed this episode I gave it a 5/5. What I especially liked in this episode and in the last one is how realistic it is. Having to go to work last minute and cancel plans, as Okazaki did, is something that happens a lot, especially if you're new to the job. Yes, I feel bad for Nagisa because she is lonely but she is an understanding and supporting girlfriend and I don't think this will negatively impact their relationship. I am starting to miss some of the side characters though even though they graduated and are all doing their own things.

What a disaster of an episode lol. Clannad AS seems to have a lot of hit or miss episodes compared to the first season unfortunately. All episode builds up that they dont spend time together, and when they finally have a chance to.... he blows it off for what? To help out on a job his superior told him he clearly wasnt needed for? Also why the fuck did it take him all day to finish one job that he was able to somehow finish easily the night before.

It almost feels like they had no idea what to do for the Founders Festival, and so they found a lame excuse not to show it. Clannad AS is plagued by poor pacing and story preparing. Most episodes do not flow together at all, and this one in particular is just so odd.

Despite trashing this anime for the first 8 eps and the first season, I am starting to like it now. This is what this show needed from the start. Feels like we are finally focusing on what we are supposed to be focusing on

You can just feel that we are slowly building up to the big guns that will be unleashed later on.

Anxiety- the episode.

Oh man how I love seeing them act like husband and wife. Tomoya coming home from work, Nagisa ready with dinner. So cute, show me more of this.

This episode was too much for my fragile kokoro, can't believe a single epsiode caused me so much anxiety.

My guy is trying really hard to just be an electrician. I do really wonder if Nagisa will ever get tired of this type of behavior, but she's not very assertive so... In some ways its nice of her, but I really do think Tomoya needs to make this up

Yoshino and Okazaki look like bros, also the lightsaber fight between the old man and the father of nagisa peak shonen
I guess how nagisa feels about okazaki going late to the date but they see each other almost every day so i know why she dont seem sad

Going out with Akio on the weekend sucks,poor tomoya-kun, he had to accept what the old man said, I thought it was really funny when they did that to the old man's wife.

Tomoya always doing the good work every week, and also doesn't leave Nagisa helpless, he's always worrying, it makes me feel sorry.even with only one arm he is strong.

Tomoya is literally the best character ever created. Whenever he cries, I cry. Whenever he's happy, I cry.

3rd rewatch and the river I create with my tears only gets bigger every time.

had a bad feeling something would cockblock Tomoya from going to the Younders Festival, I took what Yoshino said at the end to the heart, it's so true yet touching despite his musician edginess! I hope this doesn't spiral any negativity between Nagisa and Tomoya, I shipped them from the start so I'll hurt me when the relationship is hurt!!
