| I loved this episode as much as anyone else here, I was completely overwhelmed by Ushio the entire episode. The last two episodes have been really something. |
| Having played the game, I knew what was going to happen... I still cried. Perfect. |

I can't really accept the fact its already 5 years.. Tomoya is only about 24 or 25 now...I don't imagine he would change very much in that short amount of time. Then again, I guess it wouldnt hurt to make his appearence a little bit older looking. I thought he looked his age in ep 17. He can't be only 24/25 now.. Assuming hes 19 in the first season, we add 1 year for his year in the school. Another year for the time between working and marriage. And then another year for the birth of the child. So hes around 22 now. Five years later he should be 27... Thats really a long time skip there >.> I'm pretty sure he's about 25 now. Nagisa and Tomoya met when he was 17 and she was 18. By the time he proposes to her, Tomoya is 18 and Nagisa is 19. After Nagisa repeats her final year of school and graduates, they finally get married... Nagisa would be 20 at that time, and Tomoya 19. Nagisa gives birth and dies at age 21, and Tomoya is either 20 or going to be 20. So......5 years after Ushio is born, Tomoya would be about 25. lol ^^; sorry to get technical. Correct me if I'm wrong! |

id said: THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Papaaaaaaaaaaaa! That moment was just so touching. Tomoya recalling his memories with Nagisa in the train was too. Dang it feels great to see them finally getting together >///< Tbh, I wouldn't have any complains even if this is the final episode. It is just so epic that even sweat is coming out from my eyes. 6/5 Agree. This episode could have been the last one. It was EPIC and very touching, i also had that strange phenomenon of sweat coming out from my eyes ;)(that last train scene ;_;). Episode left me feel very happy but still sad at same time. 5/5 Masterpiece |
| It's been a while since the last time i shed a tear for an anime episode. This was the best episode of Clannad and followed by the death of Nagisa(if the ending had been dango dai kazoku, it might have had the chance of being the best though). Anyways, after the pretty messed-up first half of the series, Clannad once again -like the first season- geared up. 5/5 for this episode, and i increased the general score from 5 to 6 or 7(now i've given a 7, but it might get back to 6 according to the last remaining episodes.) Almost perfect episode overall, hope it will keep up. |

| This made me Cry...i was near tears on ep 16 but this finally made me cry.... Loved the EP |
Annisa said: Like everyone said, this episode was perfect. But I really don't get how one perfect episode + like 3 really great episodes out of the last 18 could get this a 10. If the last 6 or so will be this good then yes, AS deserves a 10 but golly, this season could off been wrapped up in 12 episodes. But I'm probably just being pessimistic after watching that wonderfully teary and heart-wrenching episode so don't mind me. Um, in my opinion, the following episodes have been perfect, or at least close enough for me to give them a 10/10: Episode 9 Episode 12 Episode 13 Episode 15 Episode 16 Episode 18 That's one third of the series so far. More than enough to affect the total rating of the series, if you ask me. And this episode, combined with my rewatching of episode 1 to 12 of the first series yesterday, pretty much sealed the deal for me: This is the BEST DAMN SERIES EVER. So much for my previous thoughts that "It'll never exceed Kanon"... |
| Totally wonderful, couldn't hold in the tears :'-] |
 |
| Yeah fantastic episode, Made me cry finally again. |
 |
| It was so touching I cried a bit. This season is bunch of emotion ;-; |
| It's funny... even tho I've already finished the game but yet it's still very touching to watch that scene animated... >_> |

| Damn, I used all tissues ;_;. I must buy new box of tissues before 19 episode... |
     |
| That was one of the most moving episodes I have ever watched. <3 ........... ;_; !! |
 |
| ... ;__; That was simply beautiful. |

| Wow, I cried a bit there... So touching. |
 |
| ...... first time in a long time i had tears run down my face very moving episode... |
    |
| omg, i cried, that's a really really awesome episode even though nothing really hapenned but the story was really touching. >< |
| this episode was just great, a masterpiece on its own... after he returned with his grandmother, to ask ushio if she searched for that toy the whole time... since that moment the rest of this episode was just too touching, i couldnt stand it at the end lost some tears. one of the best so far, i didnt thought that he would realize, that he was a bad father, so fast!? ushio was just cute, the whole time... such a lovely girl! 10/10 |
| I can't say that Clannad hasn't gotten me to cry before, but this last episode easily made me cry the most. It's interesting how the tears are always tears of happiness (the sad scenes can get me to tear up, but have never caused the tears to come out). Absolutely beautiful, plain and simple. No other anime gets me emotionally like Clannad does. |

| Being a fan is like having a penis. Its nice to be proud of it But don't pull it out in public and wave it in other's faces Kyurem Black. Kyurem White. Together they are Pretty Kyurem. |
| This episode is even way better than episode 16. This would be my second time crying at a show like this. |
     |
| Best episode of this show... I cried for all of the last 15 minutes ç____ç |
   |
| That was really touching. Ushio is such a cutie pie<3 |
 |
| Wow. That was just a tear jerking moment. Though I didn't cry, I was really touched. |
     |
| Geez Clannad owns :s I must say that it gave me the feeling i had when i first started to watch anime, being unable to wait a week for the next episode.... I WANNA WATCH ALL THE REST EPS NOW :( |
 |
| This is one of the most touching and one of my favorite episodes of ~After Story~, I love this one along with the one where Nagisa says she will be with Tomoya after they visited his dad in prison and he got angry. Ushio is so cute XD, I'm finally glad to see her smiling with her dad :D. |

| Since they totally missed the last episode, this one lacked in dramatization and emotion. The grandma part was a bit over the top though, encountering your grandma on a beach when you've not seen her for 20 years and suddenly reminding of your childhood days seems hardly possible to me, just like throwing away 5 years of your life and your child (not counting Akio and Sanae) not having any grudges against you. Lacks in realism, and it could/should have been better. That's too bad, but it was still a good one especially thanks to the end. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| I'm covered in tears, my pillow was soaked. It all started when Ushio said "in fathers arms", that's when I bawled. I cried and cried, then cried harder when Tomoya cried. This show makes me so emotional, I don't know how I'll survive without it. This is all thanks to Sanae, my she's wonderful. It's like she kept a respectable distance from Ushio, so she can fully accept and want her daddy. Oh so cute, so sad and amazing. The robot, that makes me curious. She fancies them doesn't she? Ohlala. Tomoya and Ushio I fucking love you two<3 chibuki said: My gawd. After Toradora, now watching this, makes me look like a big baby. & Thaaaat, double the swelled eyes. |

| I have no idea why... but I don`t seem to be crying from After Story. Only Fuko`s Arc made me cry. After Story makes me... Sad,but not so sad that i cry... odd isn`t it? |
 |
| I've gotta say this was the most touching episode of the series. The scene with Tomoya and his grandmother was pretty heartfelt..but I think when Ushio tells Tomoya why she wanted that specific toy..that left a huge impact. I can't wait for more episodes.. |
| ...Best episode thus far. I found it ironic that Tomoya was in the exact same position as his father. Well, still is... Anyway, it was touching indeeeeed. |
| I found it to be very very good, but not absolutely sensational. Its probably because I was unwillingly spoiled in an irc channel. :/ |
niwasatou said: Truly touching. Especially as a child of a single parent, this episode was amazing. Sanae lost some points though. If someone, especially a child, is sad, let them cry! Anything else is unhealthy. It may have made the scene in the field more intense, but still. I doubt she said it in a cruel way. I'm guessing she said it so that Ushio would have to look to her father for comfort or something. It's not that she didn't WANT to support Ushio; she wanted Ushio to think of her father as the only one who could offer her all the support she needed. And that's probably why she didn't talk about Nagisa as well. |
| This episode made me sobbing my eyes out. It all started with Tomoya and Ushio in the grass and when Tomoya started to cry in the train, my cheeks got all wet. Seriously, Clannad makes me sob almost every episode. It almost starts to get painful to watch. Or I'm just a pussy. |
| I just balled my ass off....I want a daughter one day so i'm a sucker for the father-daughter relationship. Also Sanae is my hero. She almost makes me want to cry too just because shes so awesome in her sweet manipulations... |
 |
| And for the first time ever I actually cried during an anime. This episode was so great, words just can't describe. |
   #NBHNC |
| Re-watched it Still tear-jerking |
| Okay I'm going to be honest: This made me cry like a baby. |
| This is a really great adaptation of the game. :) I didn't expect it to be this good to be honest. I thought it wouldn't move me to tears after having already read this, but i guess i was wrong. Looking forward to see more. But that ED just plain kills the mood... just like in ep 16. |
wolfsrainXD said: PeanutSteak said: This episode was so great, words just can't describe. QFT! I really can't agree more T____T |
| The tears were there, they just didn't seem to gush out..... Amazing episode for the most part. Though KyoAni could have flexed those animation muscles on the field scene. it had so much potential to be a beautiful moment between Ushio and Tomoya if a light breeze blew. nonetheless, I enjoyed watching Tomoya's evolution in this episode. |
