an otaku fan of all things moé
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.

Well I certainly hate to say it, but it seems for sure that the Kyou/Ryou and Tomoyo arcs are over and done with. The focus of the series seems to have shifted now towards Nagisa’s arc but we also get a bit of story behind Tomoya as well.However I am surprised that the pacing has picked up quite a bit and that Tomoya is now staying with Nagisa’s family. From the preview last episode, I was actually hoping we could see some development of Tomoya’s situation with his father. I also noticed a lot of distant shots this episode, which could reflect the distance between Tomoya and his father.

Firstly, Tomoya is a lucky guy to have 4 girls cook for him, even though he was suspended. Honestly, if something like that happened to me I couldn’t choose between them all, well except Fuko as those starfish shaped foods look pretty lethal. But if I would have to choose, it would have to be Kotomi. Anyway, despite Tomoya being suspended, we do get quite a development between him and the other girls, especially Ryou and Tomoyo, but honestly, a lot sure went by in this episode.

Just when you think we had quite a bit of Kyou awesomeness in the last episode, this episode just takes it to a higher level of ascension. As a HUGE Kyou fan, I literally died and went to heaven, only to come back and died once again. Not only having Kyou and Tomoya locked in the gym storage room brought about much awesomeness with Kyou, it did bring about much laughter as well and it was something that I didn’t expect them to be building up on. Of course it also brought up some many interesting things such as Tomoya does know Kyou is trying to set him up with Ryou, but it does make one wonder if Kyou’s reactions were from her own feelings or from the charm. But who cares in the end, as who wouldn’t want to be locked up with Kyou? Now I just need that charm encyclopedia that Yukine has.

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 long ago but I think it’s also brought about a greater bonding between everyone, but moreso with Tomoya and Nagisa. I loved how Tomoya was thinking that everything was for nothing towards the last minute of the match, only to be brought back by Nagisa’s voice as it really seems to show that Nagisa is an important person to Tomoya. The music playing as well made watching the match much more enjoyable and it felt really fast paced.

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 plenty of story to cover, unless KyoAni are planning on having two arcs on at the same time. Still, having the focus move onto other characters isn’t such a bad thing as this time around we’re focusing a bit on Sunohara.

A bit behind in the anime watching due to some things happening at work that required my full attention but hooray for long weekend! Continuing on from last episode, Tomoya still continues to do the garden work with the help of Nagisa, Kyou and Ryou. I like how they’ve all become so close at the start of the series, and now Kotomi is a part of that close circle of friends. Anyway this episode is focused on Tomoya and Kotomi’s past when they were kids and it answers a lot of questions of what happened in the past. I always find it strange how the main harem leads tend to remember everything in their dreams, the same thing happened with Yuuichi in Kanon.
