I'm crying all the way through each episode, they're so emotional ;~; Sanae crying and Tomoya making up with his father were great parts. Glad to see Fuuko's back too - I'm hoping somehow she and Tomoya remember each other.

I cried as much as I did the last episode. I can relate to many things in Clannad and it makes me think. Ugh. I used to despise my parents for abuse but watching C:AS made me realise, they gave up so much just for me. **** crying so hard right now. I feel like shit that I've caused so much trouble for them. ._.

FUKO. IS. BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*faints*
Yeah! Fuko's back! The beginning was awesome and they could have ended the series with either the previous episode's final scene, or the beginning scene of this episode and I would have been okay with that, though I'm glad they didn't. Tomoya took Ushio to live with him. It was great to see Tomoya reconciling with his dad, it made me cry. Now on to the next episode, and, by the sounds of the preview, FUKO'S IN IT!!! YEAH!

The entire scene with Tomoya and his father was so touching. I got really emotional.

I was sad to know that Fuko and Tomoya still don't have a memory of each other.

Tear levels just keep getting higher...

Fuko's back too!

Overall, once I heard the town, flow of time, people song, I knew something would happen...
Reconciling with his dad. That part just tugged on the heartstrings so much...

I always felt sorry for his dad. It wasn't his fault. Like many they resort to drinking for comfort, and then... It escalated. The rift grew... But so did Tomoya's age and experience. He learned his dad basically gave everything up for him, and realized, he was a great father... He knows he can't fully pay him back, but will do all he can for his dad. He really does love his dad...

The scene with is father was so touching, many tissues were used.
The scene Sanae letting herself go was also very touching, it explain why we never saw them cry.
Fuko apparence made me very happy, her arc really made me cry a lot at the end.

I was hoping they would hug, shame they didn't but it was still a nice episode. His father worked so hard just so he could live a decent life and go to school, it's good to see Tomoya finally recognized it. It wasn't so much of a case of them making up as much as it was Tomoya needing to come to the realisation. His father wasn't a perfect human, but he did his best to raise a good son.

Happy to see Fuko again, and she was hilarious this time.
And then this episode brought me closer to tears than the previous one did.
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.

Didn't cry as much as last episode but pretty damn close. Tomoya reconciling with his father nearly broke my heart. Which goes to show that no matter how imperfect, you can't really appreciate what parents go through for their children until it is nearly too late or you become a parent yourself. At least Tomoya had a chance to say thanks to his dad before he left; outwardly it didn't seem to register with his father but inwardly I'm sure that it did. Hope nothing bad happens to him, he's been through enough and he's made himself go through enough.
Anyway...excellent episode.
Just took a look at the Top Anime listings and this anime is listed in the top five at number 4.
Is it any wonder? I'm very glad that it is well liked.

Teary eyed during Tomoya and his father's scenes. I just keep thinking that Tomoya is the real scumbag here, repressing good memories of he had with his father. His father was thrown under the bus for about the entire series because he drank and dislocated his arm over a fight, not to mention his father became an empty shell after raising Tomoya. Then he vows that he will be better than his father when he was probably 10x worse.

and getting on good terms with his dad was enough for one of those orbs of happiness... that means he gets a wish doesn't it?

Just saw the ep. I thought had lots of cute and touching moments. For me, the one that affected me most was Sanae crying. I don't know why that hit me the most, I guess the weight being lifted from her just got to me. All those years of not crying and letting it out. Sure it was bad for Tomoya, but Akio and Sanae outlived their child. That's gotta be extremely hard to cope with for any loving parent.

I'm also getting in here early before a flood of "FUKO!" and inadvertent, and not properly tagged, spoiler posts by people who played the game.

In my opinion it was the best episode of Clannad: ~After Story~. I really like this moment when Tomoya comes with Ushio to his father. It was really touching and heartbreaking (for me, of course). I cried when Tomoya finally realized that he didn't undersand his father and that he didn't notice what Naoyuki did for him during all this years. So realistic episode. It could happen in real life. Maybe it was too melodramatic but I don't care. The best episode I've ever seen in anime.

Nice episode and great to see Fuko back.

Somehow from this episode, I felt sadder for the parents in the series that the actual main characters. They all did so much for the children and kept strong for so long. Sanae actually crying for Nagisa is just too sad and I'm glad that Tomoya, as a grown up, can finally understand what his dad went through for him.

Weird seeing Fuuko again. Although I have to agree that Ushio is cute :3

Glad to see Tomoya finally confront his father. He sure looks old considering that he wouldn't be THAT old. If he had Tomoya just after Highschool he barely would be 50 and yet he looks into he's 70s...

I'm thinking that Kindergarten teacher is going to be Kyou.

"I have not once cried during this series, but after seeing the father scene, I just started bawling without realizing it".
Even I rewatching it (I know what hapeen next) but shit I cry ;__;
, maybe because I'm start to finish college and realize how difficult to be a father or parents(like my own parents ) though they might be tough but they do it for you.

I'm glad she's back, Fuko is still as cute as ever! I cried when Tomoya apologized to his father, luckily Fuko's appearance cheered me up.

Ushio's teacher is obviously Kyou. It was even hinted in the opening. I can't wait for her appearance!

I had never put the two and two together before, but the orb of light appearing answers Tomoya's question about his father's happiness. It's still sad to see how he'll most likely remain a broken man, but raising Tomoya to be a fine man was still his ultimate joy even when he lost sight of everything else.

Time to wrap all loose ends, we're almost at the end. Wonder if Sanae and Akio gets their episode too.
In fact, there were many heartwarming combacks in the novels, let's hope they will show them all.

Anyway, great episode, they forced me to tear up again, I guess the music together with nostalgy of the game works on me again. Father x son scene was so powerful.
And I absolutely loved how Tomoya is still messing around with Fuuko.

am I imagining the Gurren Lagann references, the timing in which the 2 shows existed would allow for the jokes to be legitimate references but the window is slim at only 7 months? the jokes I'm referring too are Akio's sunglasses gag from a few episodes ago and the "who the hell do you think I am" part of this episode. it could also be an artifact of the dub. but I can't confirm that currently.
On a side note, FUKO IS AWAKE.... YEA!

So nice to Fuko out of the coma, I always thought the writers would bring her back. She was such a big part of season 1 (literally) I think Fuko arc was like 5 - 6 episodes long and she made appearances throughout the season.

They're really packing a lot into these final episodes. Glad to see Tomoya doing so well. Such a great show. They could've ended the series right here at ep.19 and I would've been happy. Can't wait to see how they wrap things up and who makes an appearance in the final 3 episodes.
