Thank you for the pictures.

I 100% agree with the cheesy international thing. They could’ve just left that out… but overall I was extremely happy with the ending, maybe to the point that this was my favorite arc conclusion of all of KyoAni’s works.

Well I think that her reaction and actions are real and that impacted me a lot. The actual silly events that ended her arc were less real. But her actions and reactions felt the most real for me. I can excuse the kinda sappy and silly way they tried to make it touching because of it.

I like the images you chose for this article; maybe it’s just my like of Kotomi’s looks and KyoAni’s animation that says that, but the images I think accent the text very well. It looks and reads very nice.

I can only hope that there is really only “one out of the five” girls as childhood friends.

It’s funny that you say Kotomi’s arc is ‘real’, after all the mention of the childhood friend-ing and the ‘message in a bottle’ and all, but I think you’re right, in that it largely is down-to-earth about a girl learning to cope with tragedy and learning to make friends. It’s just that the nonsensical elements really stop it from being truly touching, personally.

@Hiyuu

I have a lot for the other girls too, I’ll probably post them with my entries on their arcs, stay tuned~ And yeah this one was a bit on the cheesy side, but still good.

@Totali

Well you never know if the other arcs will overtake her! Or are you so dedicated to the Starfish Alliance that she will always be #1?!

Haha, well, Kotomi’s arc had its ups and downs. Fuuko’s arc will still be my favorite FOLEVA.

whoa *saves all the moe onto disk*.

-agrees about the weaving of multiple paths, i think CLANNAD is an awesome job at that! I do find the endings somewhat… cheesy though.
