Seems like Tomoya is really keen on setting up a family with Nagisa. But i still do feel that Nagisa acts too formally towards Tomoya.

And that Okazaki...is a day's work. Get ready for tomorrow morning ^^. He should cherish every second with Nagisa, that's going to be his only pleasure.

Akio and Tomoya having a man to man talk was good to see as well. Kyou/Ryou as College girls was nice to see.

This episode is just why I like Kyou's character so much. Sure she was quite the Tsundere in school, but she's pushing Tomoya to to strive for something in an encouraging way. All of us should be fortunate to have friends who encourage us to keep on moving.

That was a very good ep, it's nice to see how much Tomoya is maturing, he has a real job now!! And his own place, looking forward to these next few eps, they're starting to look like a real couple now!! ^_^

Wow, that was really interesting. Now that the whole cast has graduated, Nagisa doesn't have a happy plot sustaining her and the drama club falls apart. Tomoya has to deal with no longer being a schoolkid and stepping up and trying to grow up is distancing him from Nagisa.

This is a great turn for a series about high-school kids to take. Why did it have to blow eight episodes on filler before getting to this kind of stuff?

There was a lot of progression in this ep. Can't believe the theater club is gone!! I don't think I know of any other anime that shows what happens to the characters after they finish high school so this really great. I'm really eager to see what happens.

I hope they continue to "check in" with the other characters like they did with Kyou and Ryou this ep

Also, I was really happy to see how Tomoya has grown up and matured. Wish I had a mentor like Yoshino back at my work.

Clannad is pretty close go catching up to where I am in my life :). But... errgh, this show's starting to stress me out. It started out with S1 being a typical fantasy school life and it made me happy (and sometimes sad :,( tears). What was a slice-of-life is now it's becoming a slice-of-reality. How am I supposed to enjoy this show if it just reminds me of the stressors of college and work.

Seriously, Construction work is a b****. Being yelled at during work by a boss is frightening, but being yelled at by a friend is just unsettling -_-...

So Nagisa's situation in school is bad,her only friends are Tomoyo <3 & Miyazawa,and she won't be able to make new friends in her new class.
Okazaki is strive to become adult,or at least it what he show us.
Nagisa is very worried about his work,and his first day at work as electritian was very hard...
Almost forgot to say,now Okazaki wants Nagisa to live with him ^^

Very nice episode! Tomoya moved out and got a job. Also, when Tomoya thanked Akio for the furniture, he talked a bit in the way Nagisa does and ended his sentence with "desu", Nagisa's reaction to that, though you have to pay attention to notice it, was awesome! On to episode 11, and a toilet seat cover.

Your mean should be an even bell curve only if you watch every show that comes out. Having a high-slung mean doesn't mean you're rating improperly. It can also mean you're selecting shows well to watch mostly things you enjoy.

Well this is the beginning of new life for the characters in the story, as tomoya is now starting to live independently. He already move out from Nagisa's home and live in an apartment and from there he found his job.

*his other classmates are also starting their new life (as seen when Tomoya and the sisters ryou and kyou met each other post grad)...

As a person who is now many years post graduated from student life, being in the real world sure is different compared from being a student as more real challenges will came that will test how can you solve such problems. And also one of the main things adult must be- love your work!!!

Pretty accurate depiction of life after school as a young adult, especially if you go into a physically demanding trade. Glad to see him stepping up to the plate, he has to know that eventually he will have to provide for her, sad as it is.

I know people love that forced drama stuff that we were shown in previous arcs, but for me episodes like these are the pinnacle of the series so far. This was SO relatable, even if I still haven't really moved out on my own... but starting a difficult job reminded me of my internship at an auto repair shop, and how I felt like absolute garbage for the first 2-3 days. But the words of the boss are true, you get used to it quickly if you keep at it! It's all about discipline and following a schedule. Humans are creatures of habit.

And I like how not everything is going perfectly for Nagisa OR Tomoya, they both have to face their very own personal struggles. And I hope we will get to see them support each other in the future. The blushing in this episode was real, I love it! If the rest of After Story continues at this pace, and delivers like this episode and the last one, then I can see how it got such a good rating. I'm not a huge fan of the weird drama we saw before, but the down to earth stuff really appeals to me.

Aww, poor Nagisa, getting held back again must really suck. Tomaya has started working, and of course, he's struggling, that's to be expected though, everyone feels somewhat overwhelmed working for the first time.

Damn, that was SO wholesome. They already feel like a married couple.

It was really sad to see Nagisa going to school alone and having few friends and sad seeing the Drama Club have to close... and there's nothing we (but really just Tomoya) can do...

This series is just amping up everything is has.

The next episode doesn't seem to bode well.

P.S. get a wife like Nagisa.

Now that I see it, Nagisa barely grew as a character in the span of over 30 episodes... she is almost 20 but she still acts as if she were a little girl with everyone worrying about how she's doing at school on her own.

Anyways, leaving that aside... finally a decent episode. So far, I like how they are handling Tomoya's daily life as a young adult. Realistic enough but without making it unnecessarily over-dramatic nor too depressing/gloomy.

Its nice to see that Tomoya's after high school anxiety have been pretty much resolved with him getting a job. And its nice that he was able to get a new apartment, although I think it would have been better if he stayed a while with the Furukawas and saved some money.

It was really cute when Tomoya walked Nagisa home after he just finished moving and Nagisa blew him a kiss (around the 17:25 mark).  But damn, come on, give him a kiss with physical contact

But I must say, for a delinquent, Tomoya has sure had an easy ride in this anime.  Got a cute girlfriend, had a harem, moved from his father's home and into an even nicer home with the woman he loves, got a job offer from the Furukawas after graduating, and then got a job offer from Yoshino from what looks like a good paying job, and got a cheap but nice looking small apartment. 

If Tomoya has  had a rough life, I would love to switch places with him.
