Clannad - 19
What can I say? 
I’m sorry to say this, but I wish Tomoyo, and Kotomi would just go away. 
I don’t mind Kyo/Ryo since Ryo is in Tomoya’s class and those two were often around in Nagisa’s story anyway. Also interesting how the pace of the show suddenly went from Highway to School Zone (if you get my drift.) Oh well at least now they will focus solely on Nagisa & Tomoya.
P.S. The scene with Tomoya’s dad almost made me cry because I recalled the actual scene from the after story. 
(I bet if they had played negai ga kanau basho I would have been bawling.)
Upcoming Attractions: Tomoya finds out the reason Nagisa feels like she should apologize to her parents.

More Nagisa is win! Also it’s kind of sad how Kotomi’s routei so isolated, she doesn’t appear in any other routes besides her own. Well since you dislike her I guess that’s a + for you heh.
Flame> The fact that she IS so isolated - seeing her be involved like this feels like they’re totally changing her “lonely” character. The idea was that she’s ronery but she has Tomoya. Now it’s like “she has all these friends and is part of the drama club”. It really gives a different look at the character in general
plz look at random curiosity’s posts for this!they’ve got a lu bu converstaion going on (referring to nagisa’s family antennas/hair)
actually hope for this series now they stick with the focus on nagisa’s family and not go back to school/romance!
Well, they changed Kotomi’s character from the game for a reason so it makes sense to me. Instead of being brought out of her shell to be in a romantic relationship with Tomoya, in the anime he helped her come out of her loneliness and become friends with everyone. So it was more focused on her growth socially to more people, so having her suddenly disappear wouldn’t really make sense :p She was lonely at the start, but Tomoya helped her.
That being said I liked this episode, pretty good working of the Nagisa arc. Still doubt they can do After Story this season, if they do the end of her arc justice and maybe add in some extra stuff about other characters they can do the After Story on OVAs or something. As far as I know KyoAni has nothing slated for next season unless they are just keeping a lid on Haruhi. Perhaps they will work on some OVAs…
@jones: I’m glad you liked our insights on LEGENDARY ANTENNAE.
I like Calawain’s explaination.
Anyways I have no complaint for this episode.
I have one complaint for Nagisa and Tomoya though:
テメーら、いい加減付き合い始めたらどうだ？あぁん？
I do have a worry though.
I love the pacing. However at this pace Nagisa’s story would take up to episode 22. Fastest it would be episode 21.
Even if we take out the story of Yoshino Yuusuke and Furukawa Sanae and Furukawa Akio and the problems at work that Tomya faced (including missing the school festival) I highly doubt you can squeeze Nagisa’s afterstory + Ushio’s story into 3 episodes. That’s my worry.
Yea by this time they WERE going out which is why him staying at her house made a lot more sense….
