I actually liked the OVA (story) better than the actual anime ^^" Though it did seem a bit rushed in the beginning (they were already dating), but it was quite nice nonetheless ^^

Now, Tomoyo fans will rise up and increase in number.

How bout Kyou? She needs attention ^^
I'd kill for a Kyou OVA.


a kyou ova is needed here D:

the animation ,as always, 10/10
tomoyo looked beautiful, from the breakup part to the crying scene at the end.
(kind of got the feeling that the animation looked different than from the series-
anyway, the ova was predictable (except for sunohara painting his hair) but nevertheless enjoyable.
loved to see them together and I only hope the same will happen with kyou.
now I want to rewatch clannad 8D
cant wait for next season~
overall: 8/10

I guess they did their best to fit it onto the standard ep length, though I did expect higher quality animation for an OVA on a dvd. This faithfully kept to the game's Tomoyo route which IMO is the best.
Though i'm not too keen on a Kyou route OVA~ But I wont mind one, AS LONG AS THEY DONT DELAY DISAPPEARANCE OF HARUHI .

I think it got delayed because of the production team. They maybe fighting over on how to make a better animation. I don't know. Well, it's a 1 year delay. I think Clannad ~After Story will come first since it was rumored to be released by Fall 2008. I personally prefer Clannad than Haruhi.

Yes, in 2 days after its release fansubs are out. AQS and Sprocket teamed up for this one.

Even though the animation is less impressive than the regular episodes, this special is as good if not better than the actual series. It has increased my expectations for the After story now, especially if KyoAni manages to capture the power of the second part of the game/movie (I have my doubts but I still hope so) !

This gave me a teary eyed smile ^^

I understand how Tomoya felt, like I'm not good enough for someone, i hope things wind up the same for me even though i havent even been with that person once =/

You know i didnt like Nagisa much at fist so this makes me happy with Tomoya x Tomoyo even though that was one of the most unexpected couples lol

awwww crap now i have to suffer the Tomoya x Nagisa when the after story comes out >< i like this pairing better!!!! noooooooo T~T

it was nice to see what would happen if Tomoyo had been chosen. I liked her as a character, and always thought she was actually better suited to Tomoya than Nagisa was (though i still love Fuko the best out of all of them). bravo for them making this side story

That's from your preference, right? I know Tomoyo and Kyou pawns in Clannad. My guess is Tomoyo surpassed Kyou after the OVA's release. There are Nagisa haters around (kei-clone's in it ^^). I never saw Tomoyo and Kyou haters. Well, that's only based from my observation.

I could agree with that. I think it will be Clannad ~AfterStory. It's rumored to be released by Fall 2008. The @!%# event with Nagisa in the afterstory is one of the best of the best.

When Sunohara said "You know I'm going to play this" I thought he was going play an eroge right in front of Tomoya, and he was okay with it. LOL. My hopes were dashed with sound of Tomoyo's sanity destroying Engrish but ah well.

PS Not implying anything BL, just that they are really close

My first thought was really a video that's related to Tomoyo. I can't imagine an eroge in such a beautiful OVA ^^

Now that was interesting. Although I think my bias towards Tomoyo x Nagisa kept me from enjoying it fully, the last scene in the snow was beautiful. I teared up when Tomoya ran and hugged her. It was sublime.

Overall, it was okay. But I don't know, I may nt be as big of a Tomoyo fan as I thought I'd be. I just am not interested in a relationship between the two. But it was still nice.

This episode was awesome, I loved it <3

I'm so glad it followed the whole route. I kinda hated Tomoya at one point. I just wish the main series focused on Tomoyo since she's my favorite character xD <3 Quality was better than the series.

Great ending, Perfect.

Yeah it was really good, but I expected a bit more. I expected it to make me cry but it didn't. I kinda wanted to see a kiss too. Music was great again but I still think Tomoya and Nagisa are the better pair, also it was lacking the Clannad humor. Sunohara was awesome again.

Still gets a 9 from me.

always felt tomoyo was more fitting then others
they pair up nicely
it was a good episode, great, but too rushed, wanted more (before break-up) tomoya-tomoyo action.
goggle-eyes should have been instakilled for ruining the kiss, and no rebound later on ... letdown
they really tried their very best to jerk a tear out of me with superdrama there but i resisted

good episode, too rushed for me to enjoy it at best
7/10 (im just really let down because it's only 1 episode)

I just watched this, and I liked it, considering how little screen time Tomoyo got during the TV series.

If only she got more screen time, there probably would have been an epic battle waged in myself over whether I liked Kyo or Tomoyo more. But alas, Kyo (and those luscious thigh-highs) won me over, especially when Nagisa was my original favourite.

As for the episode itself, it was a rather nice change of pace seeing Tomoya and Tomoya being intimate with one another, as she was never really the focus of the series. Seeing Yohei with black hair was pretty interesting, too.

I only have two (relatively minor) gripes about this episode:

1. That stupid guy ruined the kiss! I want my Tomoya/Tomoyo kiss, damn it!
2. WHERE'S KYO?! (And the other girls, for that matter.) :(

This was really good, especially the final. My only complaint, is that we didn't get to see a kiss between the two =/

I cried...plain and simple...I don't know why but I was able to empathize with the episode on an emotional level so well...

It was great to see the Tomoyo Arc because she was my fav girl by far in the Clannad series. The episode did feel extremely short but very effective nonetheless in communicating the relationship between Tomoya & Tomoyo, and the hardships experienced by both characters.

I haven't give a 10 in a while but this to me is a solid 10/10.

Now we await After Story...

Well, it was pretty melodramatic. =P

Even though I didn't particularly enjoy the series, I did like the OVA quite a bit. I guess it's because I like Tomoyo's character. I just found her to be much more interesting and engaging than some of the others on the show (*cough* Nagisa *cough* Kotomi), which made the OVA that much more interesting.

I'd love to see a Kyou OVA next. Or even a Sunohara focused one. That guy never fails to crack me up and he's a perfect foil for emo Tomoya.

Great episode/OVA/whatever. I ended up waiting for the SS-Eclipse subs, then waited for it to finish downloading at like 5 kb/s from some crappy direct download server. :|

Shame that it was only 24 minutes long. I wouldn't have minded it being 50 minutes or something you know. :P

Gets a 9/10 from me.

At first I was kinda skeptical about this OVA because I never really knew who Tomoyo was except for some girl getting harassed by Sunohara that also took it upon herself to wake up Tomoya in the morning. Maybe I just wasn't paying enough attention!

After watching this OVA, though, Tomoyo has a spot in my heart. I found the ending to be so touching, that I almost shed a tear or two. Almost! :3

Yeah, silly that this 24 minute OVA gets the same rating from me as the entire Clannad series but...
Nagisa and Tomoya just don't seem to have the same emotional impact as Tomoya/Tomoyo.

Still waiting/hoping for Kyou's OVA, that might be spectacular. She seems to be the best pairing, based on personalities.

Anyway, 8/10.

It'd be a rare perfect 10/10 from me if i didn't get the rushed feeling of this single ep. kyoani should have done 2 eps imo.

Hahaha you really hate Nagisa. I remembered you said "In your f***** face Nagisa!" when Tomoyo Edition was announced. XD

I was hoping for that too. Based on my theory it will, most likely, happen. Kyou's one of the character with a plot heavy arc. I really wonder why they miss an epic arc like that. Having Tomoyo edition, Kyou should have one too since she also has the stronger arcs compared to others. Well, just a theory. Hope it will happen.
