Man is this season sappy or what? Everybody is going crazy over how sad this episode was but i really don't think that it was that sad. I got into the first season because it was funny & sad where as this season is just focusing on being sappy as fuck. whatever i personally might drop this series (where i mean i might stop caring about it) but i can stop dwn it because my sister loves this series. oh well.

This episode was great! It brought some life back into Clannad for me. Shima is the cutest shota ever! He's got a heart of pure gold. If only he were real, I'd give him a big hug. ;_;

I didn't like this arc cuz Shima blows. Seeing the young Misae made up for it at least. Also kinda reminded me of Aria and the cat connection stuff and Kanon. I liked Fuko's and Sunohara's way better than this.

Tomoya the great oracle!

I think it's kind of sad how Misae doesn't look like she really got over Shima. These kind of stories always leave me a little depressed.

I'll try that to get in the girl's locker room! Hehe...

But anyways, something actually kind of bothers me...

Yoshino is shown as a student there, right? And Ibuki-sensei is a teacher. They got married. Did the rule "Age doesn't matter" apply there?

Well maybe he is? Then again he is the main character lol.
Amazing arc overall, this episode had so many scenes that I liked and put me through a multi-colored pallet of emotions each coming through one right after the other. It was great when Shima met with Misae in the park to comfort her and tell her that he likes her, making their relationship more closer. The scene at the school was great, it gave us insight on how some of the characters were like in the past (Ibuki, Yuusuke, of course Misae) and how they all knew each other. Lol at the conference when the discussion was about Yuusuke and his rock star antics, it was both funny and heartwarming when Shima confessed to Misae while he was still dressed as a girl lol (the fact that he snuck into the school as such made me laugh almost the whole scene, Misae's friends have a sense of humor lol). When they visited the Shima residence, I was confused and it made me think who he really was (yeah, I figured out he was the cat, it was hinted in the last episode that Shima was in a wheelchair WITH a cat on his lap, who else could he be?). The time when they went on a date to the festival was exciting, emotional, and sad at times, when Misae confessed to Shima, and when Shima had to go after he granted the wish. Nearing the end when Tomoya found out this whole thing was a dream the cat wanted him to see so that he can tell Misae the truth behind all of this, when he told her everything, it was very emotional to see Misae find out that the person she loves was with her all along and in fact that the wish was always intact. This episode made me laugh, think, and cry, it was overall a good experience even if it was just an anime show, it was magnificent. The arc was great, and the series is looking great so far too, just makes me anxious to watch more..then again I think I have to study for my last final exam before I continue watching more lol!

Now i'm really hyped up to finish up till ep17 in 1 go.

I think, that real Shima was that boy with cat on his knees. Shima liked the girl, who came to him and started to talking. After this, Shima has died and his friend was that cat. Shima has wanted to make that girl happy. So the cat "returned" to real (dead) Shima, with mission "To make Misae happy". Well, when she loved him, his mission finally ended. Then again he changed into the cat. And stayed with Misae ;3 I think it was sth like this ^^'
I've cried on this episode... Emm... Was so good ;3

There are currently no seeders for this. If anyone could seed this for a few days, it would be much appreciated.

Now THAT's what I'm talking about!!!

Those are the kind of episodes that made Air and Kanon the masterpieces that they were!!!

A sweet, bitter romance that ends with a, literal, glimmer of light!

Why didn't the first Clannad series have more moments than that???

Anyway, hopefully, After Story will keep improving...

Guh, I hate Key's way of tying everything to something supernatural. I mean, it really plays with our emotions, almost forcing you to cry thinking how the two love each other but will never be together. Sad thing is, even though it was utterly predictable and I knew how it'd end from the start of the dream, it works.

Seriously, I hate how much I love drama.

SO I GUESS MISAE-SAN IS GOING TO PLAY WITH HER PUSSY HAR HAR HAR

And now my serious opinion: to be honest, I didn't like this arc, and would probably have been a lot more emotional about this ending if I had paid attention during the rest of the arc. In all honesty, I think Misae-san reminded me too much of Kyou, except with bluer hair, and the whole wish light thingy, though I know it's an essential plot point (from what I've read on the internet, still have to finish the visual novel), still takes a lot of the emotional depth away from the story for me.

Surprisingly I didn't cry in this arc. Misae's story wasn't as sad as it could have been. I think Shima should have taken her to his old house or something. I needed more drama. Just a little more drama and this episode would have been acceptable. And I think Shima should have explained SOMETHING to Misae when he remembered…>.<


Through the episode I was thinking "I wish they would go back to Tomoya…"

Is Yoshino a teacher or a student. Because if he's a student that means he likes older woman…hahaha I was more curious about THAT then Misae and Shima.

Next story arc is Yukine's~! I bet this one will be better.

At first I was doubting the greatness of this arc but then it actually got to me.
So, the cat used to belong to the real Shima ( who died of illness ) and he wanted to grant Misae one wish as a way to repay her for her kindness in the hospital. But once he died, the cat took on the duty to send him his message to Misae.
Kinda weird ghost shit goin on but with a lil imagination, Clannad managed to pull it off.
4/5 from me. Didn't quite like the ending. Too sad for me.

Now it's official, best arc ever. I don't know why, because this arc does not really seem to be very important, but he's better than any other clannad arc including the first season's.

So Misae talked to a sick kid named Shima one day at the hospital. he had a cat. He died but before he died he had a wish of thanking Misae so some hocus pocus kicks in and the cat becomes Shima's "ghost" sorta.

They get close but Shima realizes he's not real and dissapears aka really turns back into a cat And Okazaki tells her all this cause he dreamed it.

Hmm...kinda sweet even if it was not really realistic. I forgot Clannad has those weird supernatural arcs i.e. Fuko in S1


Question how old is Yoshino and his wife because she was teacher and he was still a student during that flash back. I know Yoshino is the same age as Misae...hmm guess I've been watching too much news lately. I keep thinking they had some sorta teacher/student thing or something :P
