I felt it was a ok episode, but I can't say I'm not glad this arc is over... I like Sunohara better as a comic relief character, that's were he shines the most. And well, Mei is kinda annoying to me...
Well, Tomoya/Youhei's friendship was cool at least :)

But now... if it's gonna be Misae's arc, it means...

MORE SATSUKI YUKINO GOODNESS.
I'd buy that.

was a bad episode, the whole part where tension's building up, was actually funny, i couldn't keep myself in front of the monitor much, the whole arc was really unnecessary if you ask me <.<

OMG ! Violence in my Clannad ?? 0_o

Great episode anyway. Finally, Sunohara was cool.b And yeah, a good fight against a friend is sometimes good to solve problems.

I loved his expression in the end when he understood Sanae is Nagisa's mother ^^

Wow. This episode was so emotional, dramatic and strong it made me hold my breath, cry, laugh... couldn't expect any less from clannad, of course, but it was fantastic!

I found the fight between Okazaki and Sunohana very good. I mean, they are problematic students, known for getting into fights, and they needed to say everything they had to say. What else could have happened?
And then, in the end they find eachother all bruised and just crack up. That was soooo sweet =) It really made my day.
The last couple of minutes had me laughing my ass off xD Okazaki, you're the man

Just didn't feel the tension building up in this arc, had an overall mood of 'meh' as I watched the episode.

Hi, you're cool. Because I was skimming every response hoping to find someone who thought nearly the same as I did but I couldn't find anyone D:

But yeah, I didn't feel much of the tension either. Even when Mei cried and that was super sad, it didn't make me feel like crying or anything. I just kind of had a bleh mood throughout the whole episode. One thing I did like about it though was Tomoya's reminiscing about the old days with Sunohara. I really liked seeing the bond between them because it's something you don't really get to see visibly during the other episodes when he's always playing tricks on Sunohara.

I agree. There was so much unnecessary drama and overacting that I just couldn't take this arc seriously anymore.

The slow motion in the soccer club room was a little lame, and the episode lacked the "LOL" factor of last episode, oniichan~ Still, it was a good episode none the less. Okazaki overdid it a little.

I didn't know what it was (other thena kid peeing) or why it was there. Now I know what it is though, but why is it there? As a joke.

Great episode.
The only thing I have a problem with this time around is surprisingly the ending.
The song is good, but it's too cheery. And they seem to have cut corners on animating the ending. OP is godly on the other hand.

My problem is when sad parts come along in the after story and they play the happy, cheerful ending, it's going to destroy the mood.

When the saddest part comes (something about Nagisa), I truely believe they should change the ending song at least for that episode.

Post not particularly about ep4, but where else could I put this.

This is what happens when you take a gag character and suddenly develop a dramatic story from almost out of nowhere. If the first season was meant to develop the background for each character, then they certainly did one hell of a job establishing Sunohara as your typical sidekick to a male lead. Someone who has no luck with women and someone who plays the gag role, a typical Key story sidekick.

On my opinion, there is nothing in this Sunohara arc. It fails. -This character CAN'T be part of serious stuff. He can't... yet they tried. The problem is why using violence that much, the way it turned was obvious and not original at all. I hoped they could develop on the futur of the charcaters, on the father-son relation, or on the realtion between Nagisa and Tomoya, but no on HIM. He's only good to be kiked by Tomoyo!

After all the character development in the past series on Sunohara, it would be pretty strange to suddenly show his serious side.

It is like you have a friend you knew all you life, whom you know will always laugh at the simplest things, when suddenly you see him suddenly try to break everyone's neck (figuratively) whenever they tried to get close to him

I'm not overly impressed with this episodes, as I think most of the drama was self-created by the main cast themselves. Basically, Mei was just self-centered and wanted to shape her brother the way she thought he should be. When they tried, they got unexpected reactions almost to the point of breaking the bond shared by the two friends.

They basically forced this situation to happen, instead of it flowing out naturally. From the past, we already knew Sunohara cared for her sister, and he trusted Okazaki. We didn't need the forced drama to know that. The only things we really learned from this is that Okazaki really just looks at Sunohara as a cheap way of getting laughs and having fun, and the background of how they met and how he was kicked out of the soccer team.

I lol at the people almost at the point of raiding Eclipse's unexistent HQ to force them to release the fansub. Seriously people, chill. You can deal with some days of waiting, can't you? (BTW, SS is also involved with Clannad, don't blame it solely on Eclipse here...Eclipse is actually fairly speedy on their solo projects).

Great episode. I think the fight between the boys was good too. Although the ark was made well (Visual Art's & Key quality), but I don't realy like Sunohara's character and his (and Mei's) storyline so I'm glad they start a new one. :)

Yes: Sunohara Siblings arc is sub-par. Actually, it's the ONLY one that has a cooked-up premise like this.

BUT! You guys HAVE TO GET PUMPED FOR THE SAGARA MISAE ARC! Magic is coming.

Funny thing is that the episode was already subbed by the waffhouse for a couple of days and yet people still bitch at Eclipse...

Have to agree on those last two. It's a little too early to claim which anime is the better one this season as there's quite a few choices right now. Let's reserve that judgement until the fall season ends and we see how the short series panned out and how the longer series are faring.

I so agree with you. People have to realize that these people are doing this for free. A few days wait isn't the end of the world. I myself however was a little antsy at the fact that SS-Eclipse doesn't have some kind of message board to indicate an episode is going to be released later, which is absolutely find by me.

Kannagi is my most pleasant surprise this season. 2nd favourite show under Clannad

SS has a Message Board where they do talk about future and current projects and answer questions, but they do not have a page keeping track of how far ahead they are in subbing specific episodes (in the same way Rumbel or Menclave does). They really should consider having one though instead of having to respond to every question about when a sub is coming out with "It's done when it's done !"

I guess after all the character developments that it went through in season 1, they can afford tossing in some drama to spice up the story. Or else it'd get way too dry with just the girls imo.

I found this episode funny but also very gay. As soon as i saw the episode i knew that all the Mei fans were going to be going nuts what with her getting hurt & crap & boy was i right. Not to mention that it was awesome to see okazaki & sunohara get in a fight. i wish the fight had gone on longer but of course Mei & Nagisa had to break it up with their crying. all well. overall yeah this was an ok episode though it would have been cool to see alot in fighting in a series thats mostly comedy. But yeah near the end okazaki was giving sunohara some very gay looks lol.

The ending with Sunohara and Sanae made me crack up so much I think the neighbour kid must've waken up or something. X'D

Well, overall a nice episode. The fighting was a bit... too much. I don't like most action anime so I didn't like this too. Although this fighting had a slightly bit of reason.
I'm glad Sunohara and Mei are finally open about their feelings toward each other and everything's al right again. For now...

Nice episode, seems like they finally got Sunohara back to his old self and can move on. Really thought the ending was well done to lighten the mood.

Also if you are wondering why I didnt post "comments made while watching" its because episodes like this one are not really susceptible to humor so I dont want to force myself to come up with something funny.

Anyway its nice to see that Clannad still has its magic charm that made the first season so good.
