The episode brought the end of the short Misae arc. I can't help but feel that it was a tribute to the Makoto (the fox girl) arc in Kanon. I mean both dealt with an animal attached to an owner mysteriously becoming a human for a short time. Luckily, the Makoto arc was probably my favorite arc in Kanon. As such I enjoyed this arc.

Oh god I cried so much. And twice. Once while watching the raw and again when watching the fansubs. Kitties are the best pets ever today! And yeah…new favorite arc (again). I doubt anything (except the full After Story) will surpass this for me. I wonder which one made me cry more now. Kotomi’s arc or Misae’s. [...]

Clannad ~After Story~Episode 6 : A bittersweet romancePicking right up from where episode 5 drops off, Shima is still hanging out with Misae and becoming closer and closer with her. Certain things are revealed, and the story comes full circle into a touching romance told and executed brilliantly just like you would expect from Clannad. The strangeness of it all adds the touch of fairytale-like elements to the story while not going so far outstretched as to make the events completely ridiculous. The music always manages to add that extra effect to the scenes when needed, despite the fact we've heard the tunes multiple times before. Needless to say I welled up with tears and cried a little. On a extra note, unnecessary cross-dressing in this episode. Anyway...I look forward to more Clannad.
