I was also very amused by the drunk Nagisa scene and by Sanae’s take on banana bread, though the best (and most touching) part of the episode was the graduation ceremony that Tomoya arranged for Nagisa. I thought the first half of this episode was a bit predictable – it was pretty obvious that Tomoya would have to persevere and would eventually succeed – but I liked what Sanae said afterward about Tomoya and Nagisa’s happiness being her and Akio’s dream. Tomoya’s father gives them his best wishes, and the two submit their marriage registration, making Nagisa’s official name Okazaki Nagisa. With this chapter of their life now over, Tomoya and Nagisa then pay a visit to his father in jail where they announce their intention to get married. Nagisa subsequently makes an emotional speech reflecting on all that she went through in her high school years and how she loves the school. They’ve come together to have a private graduation ceremony that’s presided over by Koumura, and he hands Nagisa her certificate of graduation. Then, on one spring day, he takes Nagisa to school where all of their old friends are waiting. The main problem is that she has to stay home on the day of the graduation ceremony, and because of this, Tomoya calls up his friends – including Sunohara – to arrange something. As the winter days go by, Nagisa gets sick again, but this time her attendance is high enough to graduate even with all of her absences. In this situation, Nagisa quickly gets drunk and confronts Tomoya about his interest in her mother, much to his embarrassment. Sanae follows this up by stating that happiness for Tomoya and Nagisa is now her and Akio’s dream, so she urges them to seize it.įall soon turns to winter, and come Christmas-time, the family gets together again for some drinking. This reminds Akio of how similar Tomoya is to him, and he implicitly approves by telling Tomoya that he’ll take his daughter back if she becomes sad. This time, Tomoya gets a hit, and immediately afterward, he gets down on his hands and knees to ask Akio for his daughter. Nevertheless, Tomoya continues practicing, and Akio gives him one more chance on one very rainy day. After failing at what Akio called the last chance, Tomoya gets the feeling that Akio is trying to tell him that he’s still a kid who can’t protect anyone.

Unfortunately, Tomoya fails to get a hit, but he decides to keep practicing whenever he can and continues to get Akio to come out and pitch to him. If Tomoya is able to do so, then Akio has to unconditionally accept what Tomoya has to say, but if Akio wins, then he doesn’t have to listen to it.

In response, Akio challenges him to a baseball match where Tomoya has to hit Akio’s pitch. Great job, they truly deserve a pat on the back.Despite his father being in jail, Tomoya shows up at the Furukawa house to talk with Akio about something serious. Eien-no Anime released the subs on 11th March. Was also amazed that they managed to release it in such a short time as well. I was also kinda surprised that the fan subs wasn’t by SS & Eclipse or Sprocket & The Waffle House who did the anime but by Eien-no Anime.
SHOULD I WATCH THE CLANNAD MOVIE MOVIE
Well I guess I will probably enjoy the movie more if I haven’t watched the anime first since after all the movie was released (on Sep 07) before the anime (Oct 07).

That is assuming if you are a fan of Nagisa, you will probably enjoy the movie more than I did.Ĭonclusion: I felt that the movie isn’t as captivating as the anime (The Fuko and Kotomi’s arc really moved me to tears). Although Sunohara and Nagisa’s dad are here to provide the comic relief, it doesn’t make me laugh as heartily as in the anime (especially Fuko’s arc). Maybe it’s just me but I prefer KyoAni’s character designs as compared to Toei Animation’s. – Voiced by the same seiyuu from the anime except for Okazaki.

Kotomi was seen in two scenes which last a few seconds with no dialogue. A pity my favourite CLANNAD girl Fuko wasn’t in the movie. – No love for Fuko, Kotomi, Ryou (and Botan too if you are a fan of cute animls making funny sound). – About Nagisa, Dango Daikazoku (now available in colours) and Sunohara’s black hair.
