Despite having my wallet become significantly lighter over the weekend, the merchandise must continue to flow in! Well I finally got myself a Botan (Fujibayashi Kyou’s pet pig from CLANNAD) plushy thanks to Hobby Search having it restocked (I think it’s the third restock). In fact this is actually the first time I used Hobby Search, but comparing to HLJ, there really isn’t much of a difference except Hobby Search only ship by express post. Anyway at least this is one item to cross off my Japan shopping list.
At least Aria-shachou won’t be lonely anymore. I was quite surprised when I took Botan out of the box as he is quite solid and very round. Funnily enough I actually started tossing him around like a football lol. For the time being I face the problem of placing him somewhere as I don’t really have room for plushies. Well I’m sure I’ll work something out. Now that I have a Botan plushy, all I need now is a long purple haired girlfriend.

With the past few episodes being slowish in pace and high in drama, it was time for the usual dose of comedic relief in the form of Mei-chan. The last time she appeared there wasn’t very much in terms of development, even though she is a side character. But this time around, we see the truth face of Mei-chan. Such a sly and scheming junior high school girl, yet she is just what every imouto loving otaku is asking for. Although all the little schemes that Mei-chan planned out for Nagisa you see in every other school based anime, I didn’t find it all that boring at all, but in fact was laughing quite a lot. Though I think this is because Nagisa is the one playing it out and way out of her character.

Yeah real life is events are starting to take my toll on my anime watching so I’m like a good week or so behind the usual stuff that I watch. Hopefully I can get through most of the stuff before the new season starts. Well this episode played out how I thought it would with Nagisa’s mind thinking about her parents giving up their dreams, and when it came to stage time, she broke down in tears. But the one thing that truly made this episode awesome was Akio’s outburst to Nagisa as we got so much emotion not only from Akio, but from Sanae and Tomoya as well. It once again brought up the theme of family and it couldn’t have come at a better time.

Is it just me or has the story’s pacing gone really slow? Well it’s probably just me but to get to this point in Nagisa’s arc seems to be taking it’s sweet time, and given that this is also the 2nd last episode for TV broadcast, I wonder how much more they can cover in the DVD episodes. That is unless we get 4 DVD only episodes but as if that would happen. Anyway plenty of funny moments this episode as well like Tomoya’s reaction to Nagisa mentioning she has never watched a theatrical play before, as well as Sunohara’s way of calming Nagisa down.

If there is one thing I like about the Clannad TV series so far, it’s the developing relations between characters. But in this case, it’s the ever growing relationship between Tomoya and Nagisa. It certainly seems that Tomoya has adapted to living with the Furukawa’s but he knows that he still is an outsider. But of course he can’t help himself but help out Nagisa where she needs help and that requires becoming more involved with the family. I was certainly surprised that Akio decided to tell Tomoya about Nagisa, but I guess that means that Akio really trusts Tomoya.

It certainly has been a long time since the Clannad movie had aired in cinemas in Japan, but for those of us who don’t live in Japan we have to wait for the DVD release. I remember waiting eagerly for the Air movie DVD release to come out yet it didn’t feel as long as compared to the Clannad movie. Well lucky for us, the Clannad movie DVD release was in fact 4 days ago and these arrived at my doorstep early this morning:

If there is anything I enjoy collecting other than figures, it would have to be DVDs. Or more specifically the Japanese domestic releases as they come with awesome goodies that you can’t compare to the US releases, or even the Australian releases. And so to add to my collection of DVDs which I probably will never watch, Clannad Limited Edition Volume 3.
