Biggest problem with Clannad posts is that they take me 3x longer to write than a typical Code Geass post. I think I’m going to shoot for a quality over quantity thing here… so not every episode will get blogged. And some I might just wait for the HD release. Keep sending me Tomoyo and Kyou images if you want to, uh, sway my vote.
(Are those the sheep from ef?)
Just dawned on me that Fuko is not in his series… hallelujah! (ノ゜▽゜)ノ☆ã©ã†ãž If Nagisa is the weakest link in your harem, that’s a pretty damn good harem. She’s like the Tayshaun Prince of the Redeem Team.
(Kagami would be Kobe, Tsukasa would be Carmelo, Tomoyo, unquestionably, would be Wade, and Kotomi-chan would be Chris Paul.)
“Are there any obedient girls who will listen to me?”
You’re kidding, right? That’s like asking, “Should I pick up the soap in the men’s shower of Lulu’s palace?” Some questions are just more rhetorical than others.
(For the previous item concerning the Redeem Team, I screwed up two names. My bad.)
Awesome, Sunohara’s picking on the one that was assaulted by reindeer. I did enjoy the “get Sunohara laid” story in the x86 game– I desperately wanted to hook him up with Tomoyo just to see how much blood can a human lose before they die.
(For the original Redeem Team item, the two names I screwed up were that Tomoyo would be Chris Paul and Kotomi-chan would be Wade. I’m glad we cleared that up.)
Exactly how I felt when I found out that they’re still airing the 4:3 version of Clannad first. Why did I buy a HDTV if not to see Tomoyo’s thighs in 1080i splendor?
This attack would have killed a normal man. Sunohara didn’t die. Hence, Sunohara is a space alien.
(They should make a video game kinda like Final Fight where you play as the Clannad girls. Kyou could toss dictionaries and run people over with her moped. Nagisa, of course, would dango spam. And if you beat the game on max difficulty, you unlock a special Tomoyo image collection. Mmm… nah, that idea’ll never work.)
Now those are bedroom eyes.
(I don’t think I ever used that expression until this post. The lexicon of this blog is ever changing OH GEASS NO USO DA GOMEN NASAI!)
“Are you alright, Ryou? Did he bully you? That’s Kotomi-chan’s job, you know. Only she can bully you.”
I stand corrected: these are bedroom eyes. If only she had these when she was locked up with Tomoya, maybe we’d be spared the Nagisa route.
(Cue all the literalists complaining, “But that’s how the game is!” Hey, Mashiro was a man in Mai Otome manga, and it didn’t stop Sunrise from turning him into a DFC loli. Things can change.)
REWARD ME KYOU! REWARD ME! GO TO KYOU! GO TO KYOU! GO TO KYOU!
GIVE US YOUR TEN TSUNDERES IN A SECOND SHOUT MISTRESS KYOU! GO TO KYOU! GO TO KYOU!
(Why does Sunohara remind me of The Pig of Capitalism right now?)
Are they filming a Bad Idea Jeans commercial?
Sunohara is as delusional as McCain thinking that he has a chance in November.
Awesome response by Tomoyo as if she would be infected by Sunohara’s stupidity. I like how she just goes from discussing stain removal to ignoring Sunohara and back again.
Looks like Kyoto Animation is challenging Sunrise and Studio Deen for greatest emo facial distortion character ever. This is like 1991 Michael Jordan competing in the slam dunk contest against 2007 Gerald Green and 2004 Fred Jones.
That’s a fantastic look. It’s like a mixture of disgust and pity that’s heavy on disgust.
Sunohara gets to fake date Kotomi-chan?! OHAYO LUCKY! If I were fake dating Kotomi-chan, I’d be sure to loop my arm with hers just to cop a feel… wait… am I thinking out loud again?
MAKE ME FEEL PAIN! GO TO KTC! GO TO KTC! GO TO KTC!
(Needless to say, someone needs to start working on the obligatory Satsugai / Clannad parody. At least one of my readers must have the video editing skills to pull it off.)
I think Sunohara would do better to ask Yukine for a charm that makes Mei-chan fall in love with him rather than ask her to be his fake girlfriend.
Those of us who have played the game, we know why it’s a bad idea to try to get close to Yukine. Though After Story has been mixing stuff from the game so far, which makes me wonder why can’t they just do 50 episodes with 10 for each girl (Kyou, Tomoyo, Nagisa, Kotomi-chan) and 10 for Sunohara. I’d watch that.
(I’d watch this too, but I rather get 10 episodes of Tomoyo goodness than one lousy special. Even if the special was enjoyable and had me bawling like Dallas Drake as he was presented with the Stanley Cup. Ha! Thought I’d go for an NBA reference there, didn’t ya? Didn’t ya!)
(Sunohara’s budge… why’d you have to animate that Kyoto?)
Sunohara would make a great Pig of Capitalism… Kyou on guitar, Kotomi-chan on violin, Tomoyo on bass, and Mei-chan on drums. I’m not sure if I want to watch that live or play Rock Band with them.
A Belldandy appears!
(I got an e-mail recently telling me about how great Sanae was, but that the voice doesn’t fit since he keeps thinking of Grace… it’s officially the oldest moment of my anime fanboy career when my readers associate Inoue Kikuko with Grace more than Belldandy. I wonder how many of my readers can sing the Cakii song… ? Two?)
Mei’s shocked face is always enjoyable. I wish she were Lulu’s little sister instead of Nunnally… “Onii-san… please geass me! My eyes are wide open!”
(When did “going steady” become an euphemism for “marriage”? Are they going by the Sarah Palin parenting handbook?)
(Yes, the line “Marriage is a sacred institution between two unwilling teenagers” still slays me.)
Multiple choice time!
(a) MILF alert!
(b) Did Sanae date Kuze? (Can’t be happier that he’s hitting on an underaged girl in ef now.)
(c) Moe mode overload.
(d) They need to do this with Kyou, but only with a meido outfit, a miko outfit, Rin’s redoutfit from Fate/Stay Night, and a Vocaloid rip-off.
(Gotta like how Nagisa is traumatized and is covering her eyes. The only thing worse is if she found a sex tape featuring Akio and Sanae… oh that’s why they didn’t want Nagisa digging through the shed in the back…)
Why does Nagisa look like Mako-cakes? And you question my choice of the Tomoyo/Kyou combo as the end girl.
The luckiest middle school students ever are in either Yomako-sensei’s or Sanae-sensei’s class. Especially if they’re boys just starting puberty.
(You know the saying about how one should always marry the hawt sister? What if the mom is the hawtest? How does that work?)
I can’t wait for Akio to find out about Sanae’s and Sunohara’s date. Can’t wait. I’m like a giddy kid waiting for an N64 on Christmas.
Full Belldandy mode. I definitely want Sanae to be the manager of Clannad Metal City, only instead of being a punk metalist, she’s in full Belldandy mode. “That was a nice concert! Would you like some freshly baked bread?”
Somewhere, in the darkest reaches of Japan, a lone employee of Sunrise is trying to figure out the most gruesome way to kill Lyle to envoke an emo facial distortion from Setsuna.
Overcome with rage, jealous, moe, and not necessarily in that order. Can’t blog… but… must… finish… post…
Reminds me of the time I set one of my friends up on a blind date, and then I egged him on to wear a suit for it… and he did! Needless to say, I don’t get a Christmas card from him anymore.
Akio is a lucky man. Much luckier than Tomoya.
I’m surprised that Mei doesn’t recognize Sanae after spending so much time there… but… damn. It’s the second coming of Naru Narusegawa. And with a sparkling Sanae, I’ll end the post.
(Probably will have to update this post.)
(Oh who am I kidding? We taper off with nekomimi meido Sanae.)

Wow. I did NOT expect to get moé overloaded quite like I just did now.
I may just have to actually WATCH Clannad after story (and, of course, the prequel series) after all.
Nagisa has the potential to turn into Sanae (age 38)…or 40 year old Rena….either choice is a good one.
Since Nagisa is into drama and theater, it only takes a few steps to get into cosplay and then dressup sex. She’d do it for Tomoya.
Told you to blog this episode. Nekomimi Meido Sanae on My Mind it is.
By the way, the Mai Otome manga came out AFTER the anime, IIRC – which means Manshiro was developed later, ditto “Super Breast Attack Erstin”, which is a step up from her anime appearance. Oops. :D
It should also be noted that Tomoya was… staring rather intently at Sanae during the whole cosplay bit. Nagisa reacted in horror, while Tomoya was… very interested. I guess we know what THEY’LL be doing on their wedding night. And he’ll probably insist on raiding Sanae’s closet.
I wonder how many of my readers can sing the Cakii song… ? Two?
*points at playlist* You can bet I can.
>I’m surprised that Mei doesn’t recognize Sanae after spending so much time there…
nobody ever does… (s-man s-bob, heck Szaku did it. NOBODY NOTICED except Euphie she inherited the suparhuman virus from Wakamoto and evolved because of spinzait’s the rule.)
>(For the previous item concerning the Redeem Team, I screwed up two names. My bad.)
Even Anime Tenchou won’t notice the difference. Except errrr… maybe the err…
thi…>REWARD ME KYOU! REWARD ME! GO TO KYOU! GO TO KYOU! GO TO KYOU!
heh….maybe I’ll beg her to rip out my larynx, pharynx and trachea…along with my diaphragm…..gah…
¬_¬
I have three guesses:
1) You’ve watched too much Higurashi no Naku Koro ni.
2) You’ve watched too much Beat-to-Death Angel Dokuru-chan.
3) You’re guest-blogger Oasis from Kyoran Kazoku Nikki.
>>I wonder how many of my readers can sing the Cakii song… ? Two?
Three (but I’m not proud of it).
Sanae was god damn delicious in this episode. I’m really hoping we get to see her arc, complete with Nagisa jealousy and Yoshino mistaking her for Tomoyas girlfriend. That’d make my year.
>>Why does Nagisa look like Mako-cakes?
No no no no no no no. Now I can’t NOT think that. God damn you Jason.
…better keep any and all sharp objects away from Nagisa from now on. Sanae may very well be the yandere trigger.
…but who could possibly resist nekomimi meido anyway? Mayhaps we need ten episodes solely on Sanae as well. Although that may result in a nice dango ending.
Oh god Sanae is hot. This is the first episode of Clannad in a long time that I wasn’t bored with, probably because of Sunohara. I do hope he gets a happy end.
nekomimi meido Sanae rocks my socks. i was in constant moe mode watching this episode. simply awesome.
Good. They better do that with Kyou-tan as well. I was thinking swimwear, but Tosaka Rin is good enough.
I can’t wait to see Sanae go Narusegawa if ever Sunohara touches her.
The thing is, Mei DOES recognize Sanae, especially since they never bothered changing the name of Yohei’s ‘girlfriend’. Also, those braids and eyeglasses aren’t fooling anyone.
And boo Jason. Nagisa gets to be cute for a change and then you just HAD to bring up Mako-chan. Bad form, and it really shows how far along you are in brokenness…
Also, you’re mixing it up again Jason; Mai-OTOME the anime came BEFORE the Mai-Otome manga. So Manshiro came AFTERWARDS.
Are we going to rehash the ‘Boo Nagisa, Yay Tomoyo!’ thing again THIS SEASON as well?
“I’m surprised that Mei doesn’t recognize Sanae after spending so much time there… ”
At least she braided her hair. What about superman?! He gets away with it by just wearing glasses!
I certainly hope not, Mako-chan…no I mean Nagisa’s…
Dammit you made me lose my train of thought.
Either way I spotted a potential plot hole. How exactly do you convince a woman to leave Akio?
>>Either way I spotted a potential plot hole. How exactly do you convince a woman to leave Akio?
Tell her that he said her cooking sucks.
That aside, looks like Jason needs to update both the Nekomimi Meido power rankings AND the MILF power rankings.
Of the two shows I’am going to watch this fall, this one wins the #1 spot by a mile. The other is propably ‘choas; head’.
And yes…Sanae has left me shellshocked too!
Ara? There isn’t any plot hole to speak of. The answer is: you can’t. Akio and Sanae are incredibly faithful to each other, despite their bakery-fueled antics. This is NOT School Days, darn it, this is CLANNAD!
Still won’t save Sunohara’s life though…
You’re making it hard to wait for the widescreen version…
Just when I start to think “Hey, Nagisa seems viable. More womanly, and less imouto-like. She needs to keep the hairclip!”
JUST WHEN I START TO THINK THAT, I read “Why does Nagisa look like Mako-cakes?”
I’m never forgiving you. Ever.
Just shows just how girly Mako-cakes actually is if he can be on par with Nagisa. Nagisa however has some melonpan that booster her rating over any trap short of a Hocchan fueled epic trap.
And Sanae….If the mother looks like that, take the daughter. You have more than a 50% chance she’ll look just as good or better at age 40.
>>>Just dawned on me that Fuko is not in his series… hallelujah!
Fuuko is in the OP. She hugs Ushio.
>>Why does Nagisa look like Mako-cakes?
-______-
Fu-chan will probably have the last word.
Glad you’re blogging this show again, Jason.
Uhm, darn you Jason and your lack of spoiler (or rather confusing) tags!
Anyway, Fuuko DOES play a pivotal part in After Story. Unfortunately (or fortunately) she’ll probably appear in the penultimate episode of the adaptation.
Hnmph, I still stand by my opinion that the clip only increased Nagisa’s cuteness factor. Darn you Jason, for influencing impressionable blog readers with your brand of Brokenness!
Sanae looks like the second coming of Mikuru-run…not bad, not bad…^^
For the Record, my first thought when CLannad started was “Belldandy is Nagisa’s Mom? Pure. Awesome. Damn you Akio, you’re atleast better then Keichi, so… jealous.”
Secretly Tomoya is the lead singer of a death metal band, but doesn’t want Nagisa to know because she hates death metal.
Okay this is how Sanae’s crossdress resemble
a) probably the best Night Shift Nurse character or even better than Kotoko that would make Naoki apply for a divorce.
b) probably exceeded her batchmate’s Miyuki and Natsumi if she become a police.
c) Best character to be warped back in time for any related sport activities. Yakumo-chan won’t stand a chance here.
d) She could par with San Seto and Da Capo s1’s neko for the Neko Meido award.
e) She can make it possible to have a Please Teacher !! remake replacing the main alien heroine.
f) Belldandy power.
g) She resembles how Naru Narusegawa looks like right now after getting wed to Keitarou and trying her old clothes.
Sanae now becomes the best MoE cosplayer. Kagami already did in the OVA. How would others compete with Sanae. Stay tune for more in the following episodes.
I am now convinced Jason-ko is secretly moonlighting in KyoAni’s marketing department, because now I want to watch this series. Damn.
Four, right here. Of course, by “singing” you meant hum along to the lyrics memorized by heart, because I can’t sing worth shit even if my life depended on it.
I’m DERAILED!!! Hey! Nagisa ain’t lookin’ like Mako-cakes!
But I had to admit, the hairclip didn’t hit me as much as Sanae’s cosplay.
BUT! Look at Nagisa in the OP, the long coat kinda looks cute on her.
Skribulous: Hmph, one would wish. As is, Jason is doing a very good job undermining the main heroine again, and again, and again since her brand of moe doesn’t float his boat. It’s better to believe he moonlights for SUNRISE instead. ;)
Moe? Pah! Nonnullus vires reperio Nagisa’s obduco ratio non venustas , tamen vere , ut ego civitas pro , ego reperio Kyou’s alio a magnus verto off. Quod , in terminus , ostendo iustus Jason’s verus penitus in suus : suus somes.
Pia populus! Permissum nos ignarus quod EGO sum a mulier quoque , EGO etiam reperio is incredibilis ut populus would adverto ut quispiam amo Kyou. Tamen Kyou’s alio universe iustus rubs mihi nefas via. EGO vilis , Serio. Tsundere est NON moe.
*sigh* I really picked a wrong time to paint my assault terminators… I can’t concentrate on fine-detail painting when something irks me. I mean seriously, I agree that everyone’s definition of entertainment value is different, but… ARGH. Okay, Jason watches for thighs, and I watch for the clumsy fumblings of Nagisa and Tomoya as their relationship develops.
Quis ALIUS est novus?
Thema amo is vere inflammo mihi , ut EGO sum vere oro obviam mihi!
For sententia of upilio opilio duco ut of suus grex…
*sigh* That’s it, I’m done. Ego sum tamen unus vox vocis inter plures , somniculouse sicco per non pondera sermo of plebs. Quisnam blandior super quis EGO reputo usquam?
If the first season was any indication, you’ll have to keep on waiting until the Blu-Ray release in 2011 or so, as the widescreen airings where very much not HD (and WORSE than the 4:3 airing in someways).
Intus a fabula ut flows amo a flumen per plures semita , unus does non sumo a traba iustus propter quam is videor in foris , tamen inviso quantus traba compositus alio caput.
Per Deus Imperatrix Haruhis nomen, a lepus est NUNQUAM a solutio! Scilicet VERUS pro fatalis iugum advenio una!
Oh, and we really need to get Kappei’s route animated, if only for the reactions from this blog’s readers.
That’s a lot of latin spam ranting you got there.
Is it Convince the Spam-Checker You’re a Trap day again already?
after i ‘ve seen sanae in these coslpay outfits, i had to go under the shower with cold water^^
one question: why don’t you blo9g the clannad game anymore?…did you stop playing?
(okay, this was 2 questions)
D) I vote for d with much voting!
And a Nagisa-cakes is fine too…
Yup, those are your readers. By the way, Sunohara-ko exists now… and guess what broke Myssa Rei, to make her babble on so? ;) First, Mako-cakes, then Kyonko, then Luluko, now…
One out of four of those is a trap (Mako-cakes).
Sunohara-ko doesn’t work though. At least storywise.
Luluko it would be hard to tell the difference considering the design style and some of the surrounding storyline.
Kyonko works for reasons best left to the history books.
Ithekro: Hey, aren’t we talking about just that at Kurogane’s? Haess really just can’t leave the argument alone, can he? ;) Then again, from what we’ve gathered so far in these little tit-a-tats, Haess’ subconscious is a dangerous place to even be in.
Oh my freaking GOD. SHE IS THE HAWTEST MILF AVAR!!!!
“REWARD ME KYOU! REWARD ME! GO TO KYOU! GO TO KYOU! GO TO KYOU!”
i been bad… very bad…
“GIVE US YOUR TEN TSUNDERES IN A SECOND SHOUT MISTRESS KYOU! GO TO KYOU! GO TO KYOU!”
GO TO KYOU!!
“MAKE ME FEEL PAIN! GO TO KTC! GO TO KTC! GO TO KTC!”
I think i lost my hearing…
“Sunohara would make a great Pig of Capitalism… Kyou on guitar, Kotomi-chan on violin, Tomoyo on bass, and Mei-chan on drums. I’m not sure if I want to watch that live or play Rock Band with them”
that would be awsome…
“Mei’s shocked face is always enjoyable. I wish she were Lulu’s little sister instead of Nunnally… “Onii-san… please geass me! My eyes are wide open!—
…I just remember that clip with sunoharaxmei… i feel sick… mei can do better…
“Multiple choice time!”
a) I am sick, please nurse me.
b) I been bad, police brutality please!
c) you, me and the gym equipment room…
d) wifu!!!!!
“Why does Nagisa look like Mako-cakes?”
JASON!!!! why do you keep torturing me!!!!!
“You know the saying about how one should always marry the hawt sister? What if the mom is the hawtest? How does that work?”
why choose when you can have both?…
“Full Belldandy mode. I definitely want Sanae to be the manager of Clannad Metal City, only instead of being a punk metalist, she’s in full Belldandy mode. “That was a nice concert! Would you like some freshly baked bread?—
I would eat her bread… I dont care if it kills me…
“Overcome with rage, jealous, moe, and not necessarily in that order. Can’t blog… but… must… finish… post…”
he must die…
“Reminds me of the time I set one of my friends up on a blind date, and then I egged him on to wear a suit for it… and he did! Needless to say, I don’t get a Christmas card from him anymore.”
maybe he forgot about it, in consecutive years…
“I’m surprised that Mei doesn’t recognize Sanae after spending so much time there… but… damn. It’s the second coming of Naru Narusegawa. And with a sparkling Sanae, I’ll end the post.”
well they are siblins… they do share the same blood, maybe stupidy runs stronger on sunohara’s side…
“Oh who am I kidding? We taper off with nekomimi meido Sanae.”
Am I the only one that wants a gigantic poster of this?…
I don’t care what anybody says. Mako-cakes was the FIRST thing I thought of when I saw Nagisa.
… one day, I’m getting out the translator for Myssa Rei’s posts.
Speaking of Meido… A little off topic here a bit.
Really wanted to get this to ya for a while not Jason, and I wasn’t sure if you got the link I first sent. ;) Haess also wanted to pass this along… Anyway, ze Meido RPG!
http://myssa.teri-chan.net/Ima.....screen.pdf
And the current character I’m using:
http://myssa.teri-chan.net/Images/My_meido.jpg
Oh wow, did the blog eat my post? I was expecting it to be moderated since I’m linking something…
Anyway, a little off-topic a bit (but still about meido!). I was always wondering if Jason got the PDF, so if not, I’m linking it here now, as well as the character I rolled and currently use in the campaign. And yes, Haess actually agrees with me for once.
Now presenting, ze Meido RPG!
http://myssa.teri-chan.net/Ima.....screen.pdf
And my character!
http://myssa.teri-chan.net/Images/My_meido.jpg
I also called the old man catching them dating in my blog post. With a bat.
And here I’m wondering if Tomoya and Nagisa were in the room while she was changing. That aside, an awesome and hilarious episode for Clannad!
I am sad that there is no post for the first ep if only to see Jason mention the symmetrical docking between Kyou and Kotomi (screw Tomoya, they should hook up with each other!). Then again, I was expecting this post 3 weeks later when the HD version is released.
That and some bouncing.
@Kaijin
“And here I’m wondering if Tomoya and Nagisa were in the room while she was changing.”
I like to think they were…
Did one of you guys off our blogger with Mei’s “onii-chan”?
Finished watching CAS2, pretty much in the middle of CAS3.
FRIGGIN’ HILARIOUS. I’m sure Jason’s already on it, it’s only a matter of time…
>(I don’t think I ever used that expression until this post. The lexicon of this blog is ever changing OH GEASS NO USO DA GOMEN NASAI!)
I feel semi-important to have inspired a new word in the lexicon.
