Finally, KyoAni answered our prayers and gave us a nice little Kyou episode. Although I wished they'd make it longer, like a movie or something instead of just a short 23 minute episode. Even so, despite being a full episode, it wasn't really as touching as the Tomoyo episode. It was missing some kind of magic. Even so, I'm still happy to be able to see Kyou one more time.

Yes. I started playing aiSp@ce. Since about a few months ago. The first thing I noticed within the first hour of playing this game is: This game is freakin pointless. Its pretty and all and it feels like you are in anime world and everyone around you speaks Japanese, but it ends there. You change your clothes to look like your favorite anime character or dress yourself up like a girl you fancy, and then just sit down and chat with everyone. Here I'm in CLANNAD island picking dangoes.

Anime, like every other story, has an end, and if you're anything like me, you'll feel that slight sadness whenever the credits roll on a really good show that you've been following. Take CLANNAD for example. Don't get me wrong. I personally do not like the WTF ending, and I don't consider it the ending. I consider the extra episode an ending, because it finally gave me closure by showing Kyou in a bathtub. Then, one of my friends came up with the picture you see up there. It made me start wondering: What if CLANNAD ~After After Story~ happened? Or CLANNAD ~Ushio After~ happened or something. Would you be able to imagine yourself in that future?

I don't get it! I really don't get it! Wha...? What? So what happened to Ushio? Wait, so we spent 5 emotional episodes for NOTHING? So this episode just like, NEGATED all those previous episodes? Now Nagisa's just ALIVE and WELL and so is Ushio? So... what...? I don't get it. Is this another world or something? Wait, hold on, are we changing stories now? Like did Okazaki take a different route or something during the birth of Ushio or something? SOMEONE TELL ME I DON'T GET IT!

First of all I'd like to express how much I lol'ed at this scene, and how aliens was the subject of the conversation there. The gags in this series are just ingenious.

KyoAni has a way of bringing comedy, drama and romance together in a nice little side story that is good enough to have a book of its own. This week and the last's are on a story about a long lost romance and a Fuuko-esqe presence that involved a cat and Misae. Yes, a cat. Ever wondered how Misae came to be like this?

This week's CLANNAD is once again, an outpouring of the very love and youthful springtime of the anime world! Well, not exactly youthful, but certainly full of love. Who would have ever thought one could fall in love with another's mom? Nagisa certainly is in a bad position when her mom is out dressing up and looking good in public.

After a whole month of non-blogging, it seemed almost completely appropriate for a brand new theme to be put on a site. One month of searching for myself and doing all the real things in real life really brought me back to the ground, and helped me find all the things I always wanted from an anime in real life. But I'm not here to talk about my life. I'm here to say that it is AUTUMN! (And about the theme, yes I have become an ARIA fan. <3 Akari.)

Fall is coming soon, and along with it comes the ripest season for good anime to come out. Lately, there has been a trend of some of the nicest and most memorable anime series coming out in the fall season of the year. Coincidence or not, fall is probably the season I look forward to the most of all seasons for good things to watch. You can be sure I will expand my watchlist quite a bit come autumn 2008.
