Episode 17 -

This is one of my favorite episodes. With Nagisa sick again, all the girls are after Tomoya, but Nagisa still dominates his thoughts.
*
This is where Tomoyo starts to wake up Tomoya and Sunohara in the mornings so they won’t be late for school. So funny!
*
And the scene where Tomoya and Kyou get locked up together is just laugh out loud funny - one of my absolute favorite scenes. It’s even better with the dub.

I love how all the girls fight over Tomoya with food and even Fuko shows up with her starfish creations. And poor Tomoya tries to please all of them.
*
Tomoya saves Tomoyo’s reputation for the election and she tells him about the cherry trees and her family.
*
Nagisa is back at school and when the other girls see how important she is to Tomoya – even if he can’t see it himself just yet – they give up their pursuit of him. And Tomoya is just so protective of Nagisa too - not letting anyone else touch her when she gets injured. So sweet!

Rightstuf has the Dub complete collection for $41.99 this week.

Clannad DVD Complete Collection (Hyb)

Guess I should cancel my pre-order and re-pre-order… :huh: :angry:

If nothing from the order has shipped they should be able to adjust the price for you.

Ep. 20

Love Akio telling Nagisa and Tomoya to go make out in their bedroom to keep them out of the shed. :laugh:
(
Also nice how Nagisa almost said yup to falling in love again with Tomoya again during the baseball game.

OK, so I write the above post, then head out the door to go to work. I check the mail on my way to the car and guess what’s in there… a letter from RightStuf! It was informing me that they had tried to run my debit card and it had been declined. By the time I got to a phone I could use for personal calls it was just after 5 PM, CT, so I knew they had left for the weekend. I tried again on Monday in hopes that they just might be open-but I knew it was a long sot and it didn’t pan out.

I called again this morning and asked why they were trying to get the payment last week. The guy on the phone said, “the shipment came in last week and we tried to collect the payment…” (or something to that effect. I said, “But I’m nmot going to put in the money until just before the 15th” and he said, “they’re in now” and I said, “What?” I then brought up the sale and he said he’d have the price adjusted. I told him I had put the money in the account associated with that debit card last Saturday. He ran the card, it was accepted, and now all I have to do is wait to get my own copy of Clannad. I may have it before the weekend is here!

There is something interesting I noted about the new Clannad set. The menu not only lists the episode number, but the name as well. I know there had been some complaints from certain fans about only listing the numbers. I hope this will appease them some, but I’m sure they will something else to complain about…lol

It could be made out of solid gold and they would still find something to complain about. :laugh: Some people are just never happy.

Yeah, gold is heavy. (You should let me carry it :wink: )

I agree - there will always be whiners! :lol: :lol:

Tomoya moves in with Nagisa and gets a taste of family life. It was sad that he didn’t know what it was like. It was also a great reaction from Sunohara when he finds out that Tomoya is living with Nagisa. Even he can see something between Tomoya and Nagisa although Tomoya denies it.

.
Episode 20 -

spoiler

The story for the play is decided on. Nagisa says it’s about “a young girl living in a world that’s ended” and Tomoya is sure he’s heard it somewhere before as well. Sunohara’s love spell was funny and when it was Tomoya’s turn, he made sure Nagisa spoke to him fist. Funny that he made Fuko pretend she was a zombie so she wouldn’t speak to him.
*
I liked it when Akio chased Tomoya and Nagisa out of the shed, telling them to go and make out! Akio also tells Tomoya the story of Nagisa’s past and how she almost died, but doesn’t want him to tell Nagisa. When they want to have a family picnic, Tomoya panics, thinking he’s intruding, and runs away. Sunohara, being a good friend, talks some sense into Tomoya and he returns to find out that everyone waited for him and that Akio disregarded his note. I liked it when Akio almost tricks Nagisa into saying she loves Tomoya and then gets upset with her answer! :lol:

That’s why I gave myself Akio’s role when I did the TAN Casting Call for Clannad. I see so much of me in him-minus the rough language, that is!

:blink:
Wait, people actually complained about that??? WTF…

Episode 21 -

spoiler

The group is getting ready for the play and Tomoyo comes to check on them. When she says to Nagisa – “I’m so glad it was you” and from the way the other girls look at her, I think everyone realizes that Tomoya has made his choice.
*
Tomoya and Nagisa walk to school and Tomoya tells her she’s cute, but she’s so engrossed in reading the script that she doesn’t hear him and says they can talk later. Then she almost walks into a telephone pole!
*
It was sad when Nagisa was looking for a flashlight in the shed and ends up finding out about her parents and what dreams they gave up for her. Now she feels even more guilty. Akio was right when he said he messed up. He really should have told her.

It’s the day of the play and Nagisa is very down about her parents. She watches a video of her father in his high school play and feels worse when she sees how good he is. When the curtain rises on her own play, Nagisa breaks down, but Akio shows up and yells at her to carry on his dream. Her mother and Tomoya encourage her as well and she’s finally able to begin the play. I like the way the play became real with the girl in the other world.
*
The play is a success and Nagisa later remembers some more of the story. Tomoya teases her for singing the Dango Song at the end of the play and confusing the audience. His father shows up and Tomoya finds out that Nagisa invited him. His father compliments the play, but Tomoya won’t even look at him. However, he tells his father not to drink too much as he leaves. And Tomoya asks Nagisa for a date!
*
The group celebrates the success of the play and the school festival continues. I noticed that Sunohara ended up dancing with his little sister, but Tomoya and Nagisa danced together. And they do have their date and end up back at school, in the empty drama room. Tomoya finally tells Nagisa how he feels and she cries. I did too! Again.

I just realized I so hope that they dub Clannad After Story so we can hear Luci Christian blurt out “We have sex!”

Thank you, after dealing with a computer problem for over 2 hours I needed a laugh. :laugh:

Agree a dub would be worth it just for that line.

Add me to that list! :laugh:

Mei is a great PR person for the bakery! When Mei meets with Tomoya later, I love the scenarios that run through his mind about Sunohara. And Tomoya and Nagisa finally hold hands. About time!

Episode 24 -

spoiler

Tomoya is unintentionally making things difficult for Tomoyo. The new student council president is also getting very busy with new responsibilities and doesn’t have a lot of time for Tomoya. Circumstances are pulling them apart, but nasty rumors are also being spread. Tomoya wants to do the right thing and breaks up with her. But Tomoyo doesn’t want to break up and so Tomoya breaks her heart by telling her that he never loved her. Too bad she couldn’t see him crying after she left, but I think she really knew why he broke up with her anyway.
*
Tomoyo goes on to do well and it’s very obvious that Tomoya misses her, but tries to do well in school for her sake. However, after school, Tomoya can only get a job in the same town and so he’s stuck in a place he always wanted to leave. But after graduation Tomoyo is waiting for him. She did achieve her dream of saving the cherry trees, but she misses him and tells him that she still loves him. Tomoyo wants to stay with him and it was wonderful to see them make up. I still think they make a good couple.

do you knopw if they are coming out with clannad after story english dubbed?

No body knows but Sentai, and they’re not talking or even hinting about it.
I’d probably say, it’s completely dependant on how well the sub-only DVDs sold, and as we don’t have access to that infomation, we’ll probably never know unless it pops up in a release announcement.

It’s probably going to more depend on the first series bilingual set sales and the other series bilingual sets. Sub set sales will also play a part ,but I think they are looking at how well the sets they are doing with dubs now are selling. Really if these sets fail is there a point in doing more dubs? They are also looking at the data from the Anime Network and other media outlets. Not saying go out and buy every set or anything just realize one series is not the deciding factor.

The non-arsehole fans really need to let their voices over power the arsehole fans. Right now I hear and see more arsehole fans then non-arsehole ones. So brothers and sisters get out your square plastic , get out your green paper , get out your round metal , get out your pens , get out your writing paper , get out your fingers , email the companies , and let them hear your voices instead of the voice of the arse-holes louding crying give me what I want or I’ll kill you!
