Clannad Ep 24 - Tomoyo's Chapter

The wait is finally over.. After months of waiting, I finally saw the special episode of Clannad; Episode 24 - Tomoyo's Chapter.. This is meant as the last episode of Clannad though this is an alternate ending like in the game..


The show starts off as Tomoya is woken up by Tomoyo early in the morning for school.. There is a twist here however; Tomoya telling Tomoya that she is his girlfriend now and she mustn't waste her time waking him up..

The couple then went to school together to an empty classroom waiting for the results of the student council president election.. They were very happy when the result was out; Tomoyo was the new president of the student council.. Tomoyo then asked Tomoya whether he would stay by her side all the way which he answered "YES!!"

After school, Tomoyo was congratulated by the students for winning the vote.. As she was congratulated by them, Tomoya oveheard the students suddenly talking about the relationship between him; the delinquent and Tomoyo; the new student council president...


The next day Tomoyo brings Tomoya and Sunohara lunch as per usual. As she leaves, classmates starts gossiping about the relationship that Tomoyo and Tomoya shares... Tomoyo suddenly becomes very busy with the workload of a student council president due to the school's upcoming festival..

Because of this she ends up using the PA system for personal reasons, which annoys the teachers a lot... This started off the problems between Tomoyo and Tomoya...






During the school's festival, Tomoyo disguised herself in a "pedobear" costume so that she can have a secret date with Tomoya.. The trick worked but when the couple was about to kiss, they were suddenly interrupted by a student council member..

As Tomoyo leaves to attend to student council matters, this council member and Tomoya exchange words about Tomoyo... He warns Tomoya about how much he is dragging Tomoyo down from her goal of preserving the sakura trees, leaving Tomoya in great despair..




So on a date after school, Tomoya decided to break up with Tomoyo, but not without having to hear Tomoyo disagreeing with him and telling him that she loved him very much..

She told him that he would have trouble keeping up with school and lunch without her.. However, Tomoya took a firm stand, which resulted in Tomoyo just saying goodbye to him and left, resulting in him breaking into tears..






Since that day on, Tomoya learn how to wake up early for school, pay attention in class and stop being truant, which his teacher felt quite amazed..

In the same period, Tomoyo not only excel in being just a president of the student council, she also got 4th place in the nationals examination and gave talks with universities representatives... (I find her english accent quite funny, but at least I can understand what she was saying..)




It came at a price; Tomoya stopped talking to Tomoyo and also looked away if he saw her.. (I find this quite sad..)


Tomoya did better for his academic interests, though his past records of misconduct in school gave him a very bad report, which sadden him further... Both Sunohara and Tomoya go for job interviews... Snohara dyed his hair black which Tomoya find it amusing.. Tomoya did got a job in a recycling company near town...

So after the graduating ceremony, Tomoya decided to leave early rather than having to join for dinner in school.. On the way, he runs into Tomoyo.. Tomoyo tells Tomoya that she has been waiting for the chance to tell him that she has succeeded in stopping the sakura trees from cutting down..



Tomoya then talked about their future... He told Tomoyo that due to his job he will be staying in the same town while Tomoyo, who will be graduating next year, will be moving away to study in a university... Tomoyo however disagrees by saying that she will be staying by Tomoya’s side...

Tomoya wasn't sure about what she said and tried to debate on that, but Tomoyo interrupts by saying that her love for Tomoya is more valuable then academic performance... She then tells Tomoya that she will go to wherever he is.. This resulted in him realizing the truth and he is suddenly free from the obstacle that he faced before the break-up..






He then return her feelings by saying that he will also go to wherever she is... Tomoyo, touched by his words, starts crying. The 2 of them embraced in tears... ( So romantic ^^)


The story ends off with Tomoya in his recycling work outfit walking across the train crossing and on the other end is Tomoyo waiting for him so that she can give him his bento box..




This wait is certainly worth it.. The episode is amazing, I was moved by the great storyline, seriously.. I almost cried near the end of the show.. (I'm the guy who cant hold back tears during any emotional show..) OK.. I did cry during that scene, can't help it.. :(

Anyway, I am happy that the Clannad ended in a great note.. It has now tempt me to get the Tomoyo After game.. XD

I wonder if there is anymore scene with Tomoyo in pedobear costume.. XD

Well, I shall now wait for Clannad Nagisa After story.. Hope will be as great as this one.. ^^

End of 2 great animes; Clannad Ep22 & H2O ~Footprints In The Sand~ Ep12

I would like to make 2 entries into one today since both of these shows just ended at the same week.. It is about Clannad and H2O ~Footprints In The Sand~.. So, please enjoy!!



H2O ~Footprints In The Sand~ Ep12:





From where the episode left off, we saw the elder trying to kill Hayami but was stopped by Takuma.. They were saved from the village elder's wrath when Hotaru and Takuma's uncle arrives with the police soon on their way there..


Hayami and Takuma's uncle tried to call out Takuma's name but he responded by calling out his mum.. Hotaru told her grandfather that his title as village elder is no more and that she will take over the elder's position...


Hotaru later told the police about what really happened, who then place her grandfather in jail.


Unfortunately, Takuma's mentality has experienced a drastic change, shifting to a child-like state, with the belief that Hayami is his mother..


Following the doctor's advice, Hayami told everyone that she will be going to Tokyo where she could help with Takuma who is undergoing further treatment..


Life goes well for the two.. Hayami found a job as a newspaper delivery girl.. She still writes back to the village about their lives at the city..


On certain occasions, Takuma still recalls Hayami to some extent, much to the delight from Hayami herself..


Then on one fateful day, Hayami leaves Takuma's side to go to the aid of a child on the railroad tracks, leading Takuma to remember that his mother had never committed suicide, but had attempted to save a life...


Upon realising this, he regains his sight and mentality, but is unable to stop Hayami from crossing in front of an oncoming train...


Years passed, and Takuma returns to the village... After building a windmill together with his uncle on the very same hill where he met Hayami, he thinks of her, and encounters a younger version of Otoha, who mentions something about convincing the Spirit Council..


He was confused as to what Otoha was talking about.. But as Otoha leaves, he was shocked to see Hayami walking up the hill and realises that she was brought back to life..


With that, the show ends with Takuma and Hayami together again... Such a good ending for a very dramatic show..

Now onto Clannad..


Clannad Ep22:





After Nagisa finds out about her parents' secret past, she cannot take her mind off how she ruined their dreams, and becomes emotional and depressed.


Tomoya tried his best to cheer her up, telling her that it will be a waste of effort if she still feeling depress about her parent's past..


On the day of the school festival, the whole theater club realizes that Nagisa is not herself, and try to cheer her up, but to no success...


Even Sunohara tried his very best to cheer Nagisa by teaching her a charm he creates.. The charm works by writing down a character ( in this case a kanji would suffice )on your palm and pretend to eat it..


But he still sucks at writing kanji which is pointd out by Kotomi..


Tomoya still put in alot of effort to bring Nagisa around the school festival in hopes that she would forget about it and have fun doing the performance..


However as the performance starts, Nagisa suddenly breaks down.. Tomoya didn't close the curtains, much to the orders given from his friends to do so..


But Akio suddenly appears and gave some encouragement, who said that Sanae's and his dream was for Nagisa to make her dream come true..


With that, Nagisa came to her senses, wiped her tears and starts the play..


The play ended in a huge success with everyone clapping for joy..


After the festival ended, the group decided to enjoy the rest of their day by clelbrating the success of the Threater Club's first performance.. They also partied at Sunohara's house, much to the dismay of Sunohara himself..


The next day both Tomoya and Nagisa went out together for the whole day.. As the sun is setting, Tomoya finally confesses his love to Nagisa in the club room..


This comes as a shock for Nagisa, causing her to cry tears of joy...



And the show ends happily there..



Not to forget the 3D animation ending about the robot and the girl which is nice..



Long story short, I find both anime to end at the right note.. The ending in H2O was awesome though I noticed that it will be a great miracle to bring someone from the dead.. But it is still nice to see Takuma reunited with his love, Hayami in the end..
This show isn't as bad as Myself;Yourself where the faces of the twins wouldn't be shown..


As for Clannad, it ends just nice when Tomoya confess his love to Nagisa.. Truly epic.. At least the show didn't end half-happy, half-sad..


To end this entry, I want to thanked everyone for supporting these 2 animes.. And I also like to thank the people who made these animes a huge success with a great ending..




With that, I bid Farewell to both Clannad and H2O ~Footprints In The Sand~..
