    --> (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 21 - Snowy Walk

Published by jennkei at 11:21 am under 2009 Winter, Clannad After Story, anime Edit This

Clannad After…ahhh. Such an interesting end. I’ve actually almost-finished episode 22, but I’ll try to keep this post to 21. XD Screenshot gallery..or read on. (Edit: Sorry, I meant ep 21, not ep 20! Thanks to Jay-san for spotting that. :))

Somehow I should have been emotional…seeing as it was pretty sad. And it -was- heartbreaking. I was watching this in a computer laboratory and I teared up too. But I didn’t bawl — maybe cos the previous eps were heartwrenching enough…or maybe this just wasn’t as certain.

In 21, we watch helplessly, much like Tomoya does, as Ushio…doesn’t recover. Poor girl, having a fever for weeks. :S In any case, her dearest wish is to go on her trip with her papa again…and obviously this isn’t possible. She settles for a walk on a snowy day with Tomoya, and tries to walk by herself despite being weak..

 It was painful to watch, but at the same time I was so proud that Ushio tried to be so strong for a little girl…and that Tomoya seems to have finally grown up and is just trying to be there as much as he can for Ushio. Obviously he wonders if this town hates him, and towards the end he also wonders whether he should never have met Nagisa in the first place..

Personally, I was really shocked when Ushio had collapsed at the end. But then it was kinda expected — not to mention I’d spoilered myself by reading a summary beforehand, and watching 22 after this ep, so…XD Still not quite sure what to make of it. Will address in actual ep 22’s post. :)

    @Jay-san: Oops, sorry, I meant 21! XD -laughs- Heh numbers confuse me. 23, or 22? I was kinda disappointed by 23, which seemed more like an omake. (Which I suppose it was) Ah well.

    @Jay-san: I was careful for it not to be a spoiler! :P It does say at ep 22 is the final ep, and my Chinese subs named 23 as the omake…which could be anything, really, can’t it?

    Ah well. I was less than impressed since I fell asleep watching it, but yeah. XD Shall post on 22 soon, I reck’n!

    @Jay-san: It takes a lot for me to really hate something — more like, for me, a lot of things are just sitting on the mediocrity line. XD
