“Why the heck” I’m not in love with Kyou, maybe? It must be “The Kyoto Touch” or something. It seems sometimes that everything Kyoto Animation lays their hands on turns to moe. Or gold. Maybe both. This magic seems to continue with Clannad, which has recieved pretty universal praise, more so than Kanon or maybe even Haruhi. [...]

I'm sorry for the 12+ hours downtime yesterday if you happen to visit the site and couldn't connect to it. My favorite service provider was down as usual and didn't bother to notify anyone about it. If it's not because I'm too busy these days, I'd spend the time to look for another provider. Unfortunately, not only I have busy schedule these days, I am reluctant to do major move to another server. I just finished an upgrade of the Movable Type blogging software that I use and am not in the mood to do another stressful blog-related maintenance. Anyway, these two episodes show major progress in the storyline. It looks like the writers are going to combine Kyou and Tomoyo story into one arc while inserting some obvious Nagisa/Tomoya moment in between. This makes me wonder if the rumor that the series will get 52 episodes is true or not. Since I have no idea of the story, I don't see why this series can't end in 26 episodes.

If Clannad had more scenes with shirtless Tomoya then he might just jump into my harem list pretty darn soon… I just love when male characters in anime don’t wear a shit, they make them so lean buff that I just love! *drool* Is it me or do they always have male leads shirtless looking like [...]

The choir club decided to share their adviser, Koumura with the drama club after they saw the basketball match. Despite the happy news, the school council didn’t agree with their decision because they don’t want an adviser handling 2 clubs. Then, poor Nagisa fainted …

Actually, that’s an understatement, Kyou transcends hotness Warning, this is going to be a Kyou image heavy post and probably an equal amount of me going on about how awesome she is. Rival fancamps beware, Fuko lovers especially. Best. Episode. Ever. Bar none. It rocketed Tomoyo from one of my least liked characters to probably my second [...]

The title says it all no? I’m currently following only a handful of shows, and Clannad is one of them. Episode 17 shows exactly why. The only reason I still watch Clannad is because of Kyou and Tomoyo (to a lesser extent). Okazaki is a cool male lead as well, who quite deserves the harem. Now [...]

Wow, now that was certainly exciting. I didn’t expect the basketball match to go so well and to end on such a high note that it almost makes all the sad moments we’ve seen get blown away. It has certainly raised the morale of everyone seeing how we only finished the Kotomi arc not that [...]

The dangos have really lost it. Somehow my version of Clannad 17 got transferred via dango land. And guess what… it must be dango mating season. Read on only if you have a strong stomach! Oh, and I’m trying some image titling a la Sea Slugs…

Well it seems that things are moving along as normal after the end of the Kotomi arc but form the looks of things, we aren’t really in any of the other girls arc’s at the moment. This is somewhat strange given that the series itself is already on it’s 15th episode and there is still [...]

Episode 15 and 16 were really interesting and fun even if they’re more like filler than anything else, but at the same time I’m noticing the quality of the animation drop into QUALITY levels from time to time. I was very impressed with Sunohara in episode 15 and how he showed his resentment of Nagisa’s [...]

Why do these two look so uncomfortable around each other by the end of this episode? Read on… Yet again I have had unique access to an original, unedited version of Clannad. Perhaps the creators felt that they had overused the dangos in episode 16 and so reduced their role in the broadcast version that [...]

DOZO Wow this episode made up for last week’s and then some, a return to the great balancing of comedy and plot development. And of course there was Kyou, oh God was she ever awesome in this episode, but she seems doomed to lose the race for Tomoya’s heart, a sad reality which I’ll get to [...]
