Hey everybody

i just saw the latest clannad ep and i am kinda disappointed

1) it really don't seem to connect with the previous ep with tomoya holding his daughter as she dies

- i would have like to see what happens next like pulling himself together and taking her to a place (like what akio-san did with nagisa) and with some miracle lil ushio comes back to life

2) also the ending(s) take much much more of a sim game, where there are multiple endings; and on ep 22 tomoya woke up at the moment where nagisa died after giving birth to ushio

- to me it seemed like Key either ran out of sad ideas, or the series would have been way too long (i still think that they are awesome for making the series) (though it the end result would probably have been similar to nagisa's) or planned this all along

don't get me wrong, i don't want to see lil ushio die so young (ugh am i really getting hooked on the series?)

the 'happy' ending was nice i almost saw that one coming...

enough about what i think , what are your thoughts about episode 22 of clannad..

Well if you've played the visual novel that is how it ends. Tomoya dies of grief after losing Ushio and gets transported to the imaginary world as a robot of scrap metal where he meets the girl who is later found out to be Ushio. She at the end sends him back in time to relive his whole life but to this time gather the orbs of light for helping each character. So actually the first time we see Clannad he has already been sent to the past since he faintly remembers the story of the girl and the robot. He also starts helping everyone and the orbs of light start appearing. From when Nagisa dies to when Ushio dies is actually before he gets sent to the past. He collects the last or first one from Ushio. (She saw it floating up) Then with all the orbs of light he is able to save Nagisa and the happy ending happens.
