Kurogane's Anime Blog

The eighth and final DVD for Kyoto Animation’s Clannad After Story anime adaptation of Key’s Clannad visual novel will include an “Another World: Kyou Arc” episode. As the name implies, the episode will recount an alternate story arc that focuses on the Kyou Fujibayashi character. The announcement was made at “~Kono Machi no Negai ga Kanau Basho,” the Clannad fan appreciation event that was held in Tokyo’s New Pier Hall on Sunday. There will be a preview screening for the Kyou Arc episode on May 24, followed by the July 1 DVD release.

Best news ever. Kyou damn well deserves her own episode.

I’m a bit scared though, her story is rather quite emotional… but then again, so was the Another World: Tomoyo Arc episode. But it’s Kyou, so oh well :D.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF KyoAni.

Tomoya’s reunion and reconciliation with his father had me, I unashamedly admit, shedding tears for it. It really makes you realize that the sacrifices that parents make for their children sometimes are so heavy that one cannot fully appreciate it. People have always said that CLANNAD’s main theme is “family” and this episode truly reflects it.

Also, Fuko makes an appearance! We’ve all almost forgot her! This time she’s finally woke up from her coma and up and about, just like a little kid (despite being the same age at Tomoya!). LOL at her glomping of Ushio.

Tomoya! ;_;
Ushio! ;_;

Oh that was just so touching. My eyes actually teared up when Tomoya finally told Ushio about Nagisa and he kinda broke down a bit, but recovered.

… and that is just so “Awwwwwwwwwwwww~!”

Ushioooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ;_; She’s Nagisa in mini-version!

Tomoya’s not such a bad father, at least not as bad as HIS father was. I kinda like his brusque but caring manner towards Ushio. He should just get over Nagisa’s death and raise Ushio up.

P.S. Sanae is so goddamned awesome.

Nagisa ;_;.

At the risk of sounding heartless, I’ve gotta say I’m feeling more relieved than sad right now. It actually means we’ll finally be going in to the real meat of CLANNAD’s story. I so do want to know what will happen from here on. I’ve only been mostly spoiled to this point.

UPDATE: This probably sounds crazy, but I watched this episode before I went to bed and subsequently I had a crazy dream of my mother giving birth to triplets. ORZ.

Uh oh. Nagisa drinks alcohol for the first time.

This post is dedicated to the good, the bad and the WTF’s of this year. It’s really been an interesting year…..

Heh, I was supposed to post this yesterday, but with all the shopping, satelite tracking, celebrations and epic rickrolling, I only finished it today. I guess this will be my first real post of 2009, hehehe.

Anyways, the point of this post is to relive the more memorable moments of 2008 for me, in terms of anime and such. Another year filled with good things, bad shit and “just WTF were they thinking?!” craziness.
