    --> (post a character with 'tsu' or 'zu' somewhere in his/her name in the shoutbox!)

    How to Play: Join up the names! Taking the last syllable/sound of the previous name, suggest another name (of an anime/manga character or seiyuu) with that sound in any part of the name EXCEPT the last syllable. Please post the new name (and the anime/manga it's from) in my shoutbox. (Just above this.) No consecutive entries, please -- you cannot play this one alone. XD
    When I get tired of reviewing, I'll pick one character from this list to feature in a post, regardless of whether I previously know him/her or not! :) That page will eventually be linked on this list.
    E.g....Hirano Aya (Seiyuu)--> (next one should have 'ya' in the name, NOT in the end) Okuyama Masumi (Nodame Cantabile) --> Misato Kaoru (Moyashimon).......

Clannad After Story 5-6 - That Thing About Smell

Published by jennkei under Clannad After Story, anime Edit This

As always, Clannad is unexpectedly touching. I had tears in my eyes at the end of both episodes. -sighs- And while I did say I would solidly blog Toradora this week, I’ve realised -everyone’s- doing it! So I’m gonna go do Earl and Fairy or something. XD Or maybe -finally- finish watching Junjou Romantica, then go on to watch JR2…hmm. All this will have to wait until this week is over, since I have to translate two chapters as well as make/finish mom’s present by Wednesday. -wry-

In this ep, Tomoya and Nagisa get an invite from Misae to attend the autumn festival because she’d heard that Tomoya’d neglected taking Nagisa out. XD Tsk tsk, Tomoya. The rest of episode five (half of it) involves Misae when she was younger and alumni in the same school, and a guy called Shima Katsuki. It seems she was taking care of people ever since she was younger, in a kind of rough love way. Story continues to ep six, so I thought I might as well make a double.

My first thought when I saw the intro to this ep was, “She’s building a balista!?” It’s interesting to see the story of the girl and the…uh…construct (?) continue, though; I thought we’d seen the end with the first season, and it wasn’t a bad end either. I found it hilarious that trap!Shima talks to Misae outside of the student council room and asks her to be with him forever. XD As a cute girl! Turns out Shima was a cat, whose owner Misae comforted before he died. In Clannad fantasy form (remember Fuko?), he morphs into a human and comforts Misae, finally leaving her after she wishes he’ll love her forever.

I wonder about that, though. Shima -wasn’t- with Misae until a few days ago, wasn’t it? Where was he in the meantime? Limbo? (Don’t cats get old? XD He does look a bit bigger than originally..)
