Ah, after such a long break, Clannad returns and we continue on with the Kotomi arc. This episode brings ups the past about Kotomi and the rather saddening past that she has lived and that she did meet Tomoya when they were kids. But I do have to say, I don’t find Kotomi’s past all that compelling and it so far hasn’t had much of an impact compared to Fuko’s arc. That’s not to say that the story is bad, but it’s a pretty stereotypical storyline that I somehow can’t see it being taken to the next level. Of course we can still look at it as having an impact as Kotomi as a child had lost her parents, and to grow up without parents in this harsh world is no easy feat.

Instead of posting this within the recent Clannad episode post, I figured that this was worthy of being it’s own post. I’m not really a fan of collecting calendars, but when I saw that this was available on Amazon Japan, and at a reasonable price, I figured it would be a nice addition to my collection. Not to mention that I bought this in hopes that it would be combined with some other orders. Unfortunately Amazon decided to be a prick and ship it off two days before the other order was going to be shipped. Anyway it arrived just before the New Year and I upon opening it, I was in moé heaven. So hit the jump to check out the other pictures.

As I mentioned int he last episode, KyoAni sure have a way with going from one type of mood to another in that one instance. Well we see that once again in this episode with Kotomi’s sudden shock and break down. It was nice to see how everyone was getting along so well together but then suddenly Kotomi feels so distant. This episode brought about many clues to Kotomi’s hidden secrets and it sure came in fast, but it’s obvious now that Tomoya was indeed friends with Kotomi when they were kids.

Each week, my love for this show keeps growing and growing. I just love how we can spend a good half of an episode with jokes and interaction amongst the characters, and then they bring out something as beautiful as that scene of Kotomi opening the window. For that time frame, I’m quite sure my heart stopped beating. At this point, I can say that I am definitely a Kotomi fan, and with Mamiko Noto as the seiyuu, oh god it’s just a perfect package.

After such a beautiful ending to the Fuko arc, I was wondering how they were going to go from her arc onto Kotomi’s arc, but KyoAni have done a wonderful job on moving the series forward. At the start, we get the usual warm and friendly welcomes in the morning, but it’s nice to see that Tomoya is still calling Nagisa by her first name. Although they have forgotten about Fuko, thye haven’t forgotten their feelings for Fuko at all, which is a nice touch. Still, I wonder if we’ll see Fuko make another appearance towards the end of the series, much like Makoto when she appeared in the end of Kanon.

It’s very rare for me to shed a tear in an anime series, let alone let the waterworks go. The last time I shed a tear was WAY back in Kanon at the end of Makoto’s arc, and it happened once again here in Fuko’s arc of Clannad. The initial build up from the start of this episode gave the thought of things nearly being lost, but in the end, Fuko’s feelings reached out to everyone and they all celebrated Kouko’s wedding. However the one thing that touched my heart the most was when Nagisa and Tomoya finally remembered about Fuko. Everything at the start was nice and cozy, with the three acting like a family, only to find the next day that it seems nothing had happened. But their lingering feelings for Fuko were what remained, and it was those feelings that helped them to remember.

As I thought, more and more people are starting to forget about Fuko, and I can guess that her disappearance will be coming soon. But with more people forgetting about Fuko, I do wonder if they have forgotten about Kouko’s wedding since the starfish sculpture was a representation of an invitation. However there does appear to be the lingering feeling in people who were close to Fuko, and I found that to be very touching, especially for Youhei and Sanae.
