Finally something more interesting. This episode was pretty decent, the setting and everything completely changed which i liked. The Feudal Error of japan. There was also a bit of action on the story and the plot seems to be coming together now. We get to see why Kana's mother is possessed or tainted, that was quite the cliff hanger!

Shouldn't be so surprising as the soundtrack is composed, arranged, and produced by the same people who made the soundtrack for Clannad.

I like it too. It's energetic and cute.

I found this Summer arc to be extremely boring when I was younger and first watched Air. How foolish I was!

I absolutely loved it now. It was interesting because you finally learn a little bit of why Misuzu and Yukito are suffering. Watching them travel together was hilarious and really cute too. It even had some nice action and the cliffhanger was great.

Im sure what you all mean is that Clannad's soundtrack sounds like this, not the other way round. (check dates if not)

OK, nothing great but contextual info is always good.

Exactly. Clannad was created after I believe...

Good episode. This anime has had a few unexpected suprises and directions in plot... I'm glad...

Has anyone here seen Gift~Eternal Rainbow~? The begining few arcs reminded me of a better version of that show... good times.

Excellent episode! I loved the feudal bit, too bad he was ordered not to kill. That's what you get for pledging allegiance to a master who's led a life completely shielded from the harsh realities of the outside world, thus lacking any kind of insight.

Why is everyone always talking about Clannad? Clannad aired more than two years after Air had finished and the visual novel Air was released almost four years earlier than the visual novel Clannad.

Is it just me, or do you guys have a weird watching order? I try to watch in chronological order. Kanon -> Air -> Clannad. So why are you discussing Clannad already?

(Sure, the remake of Kanon was from 2006, but it's still the same story as the 2002 version.)

*thread merged*

Obviously there is a reason for the time change that requires some analysis, and in particular you will notice that there are some similarities between the characters in the present and past. If you continue watching it should become more clear to you, but what they are alluding to is that:

It's just a second storyline that will probably have something major to do with this series in the end

I love the change of pace and humor of this episode. After so much emotion it really made it enjoyabkle. Unfortunately I have a funny feeling

Really sudden transition, but it was handled well enough.

And wow, I think Sir Ryuuya (dubbed) has the same voice as Android 17 from DBZ.. O_O Weird flashback haha.

This whole timeshift is kind of sudden but enjoyable nonetheless.
I'm sure that this does play a major part in the main storyline.
Next episode may be emotional, it depends on how they execute the part about him dying (or whatever it's supposed to be) in the preview.
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page.

I advise anyone who finished episode 8 go and watch the two OVAs before you proceed to episode 9, as it would make you connect and like the flashback characters more.
