Clannad Episode 7

I just finished watching the 7^th episode and though I might as well add it here…

Well Ibuki-sensei can’t see Fuko-chan… she tells Tomoya and Nagisa about the rumor she heard, about Fuko being at school and making friends with a lot of people, and tells them she would be really happy if her sister made friends. Nagisa and Tomoya tell her that they believe Fuko wouldn’t want her to postpone her marriage on her behalf and Ibuki-sensei agrees to have her marriage as soon as possible since she believes too that her sister would want her to be happy.

Fuko on her part keeps giving away gift-starfishes to every student in school hoping she can get them to come to her sister’s marriage. Tomoya takes her to Kotomi and she accepts a starfish too (after a lot of daydreaming…). Fuko gets bullied by Youhei… Youhei gets taken by her fan-bodyguards… you know the usual staff…

Later on Tomoya and Nagisa decide to visit Ibuki-sensei to make sure she didn’t change her decision about getting married sooner. She tells them that she talked things over with Yusuke and they decided to have it as soon as possible but they have a hard time finding a church to house the wedding. (She tells them that she wished to have the ceremony at school but she doesn’t know if that is possible) Tomoya asks her what she meant when she said that Fuko didn’t have many friends, on the festival. Ibuki sensei tells them that Fuko… well wasn’t a peoples person. She would never approach anyone herself so she never made any friends in the past. Apparently on the day she died she was on her way back from the entrance ceremony and she had promised to her sister that she would try her best to make friends…

The following day the team has a council about how to raise their starfish giveaways… Nagisa and Fuko end up on an argument about which one is cuter, starfish or dango kazoku, and Youhei get beaten up again (yeah I know nothing new here…). Later that day Nagisa and Tomoya go to the council office and ask an old man (I don’t know who he is) if they could use the school grounds for Ibuki-sensei’s wedding. The man tells them that he could arrange it with the headmaster since everyone likes Ibuki-san so the two of them run of to sensei to deliver the good news.

But when they get there Ibuki-sensei tells them that Fuko’s condition got worst earlier that day and the doctors suspect she wont be able to wake up anymore. (needles to say that both kids end up on the park in tears…) and what’s worst, when Tomoya gets back to the dorm Youhei tells him that something strange happened to Fuko-chan. Apparently some of the students in the school cant see her any more, and other forget that they were even given a star gift to begin with….

Some more game thingies… apparently Tomoya finally became the Fuko master… too bad she probably wont be around for much longer...

Clannad Episode 6

It’s been a while since I last updated on this one so thought I own you some episodes… not much changed since the last time. Fuko-chan is still staying in Nagisa’s house (and has somehow convinced Nagisa’s mother to turn each and every one of her not so good breads into starfish shaped ones…),and along with Nagisa and Tomoya she keeps giving away gift-stars to half the school population. She has become really popular somehow and she even got herself a fan club (no wonder since she is so cute). 3 guys come up to her and offer to help her get more people for her sisters wedding (since her devotion moved them). Fuko refuses of course since she thinks they are weird and they actually make a stand full of starfish Fuko things, from shirts to cards and phone straps(??), just to prove their point.

Nagisa and Tomoya decide that since the school festival is coming up it’s the perfect opportunity to have Fuko-chan and her sister meet, so they go of to her house to invite her to the festival. On their way Nagisa makes a comment about how attached Fuko is to them, saying that they look like her parents. Of course she realizes how that could be interpreted and she causes both of them to blush embarrassed. (kawaiiii).

When the reach Ibuki-sensei’s house they meet Yusuke outside. Apparently the really cool ex singer guy that looks a lot like Tomoya is indeed Ibuki-sensei’s fiancé. They ask her to come to the festival and she accepts saying that Fuko always wanted the two of them to go together, which causes Nagisa to burst into tears and runs off crying followed by Tomoya.

Onto the festival then… Fuko gives away even more stars… Tomoyo gets one and so does the girl from the previous episode that was really rude to poor Fuko-chan. And while everything goes smoothly (Fuko and the rest of the girls even get into maid uniforms for the schools café and they all look aniaaaaaa) that’s when Ibuki- sensei arrives.

But of course what kind of drama would this be if she just saw Fuko, hugged her and they lived happily ever after with Fuko’s body in the hospital? So instead she doesn’t see her… and when I say she doesn’t I mean at all! Poor Fuko is standing between Tomoya and Nagisa when Ibuki-sensei is talking to them and she can’t see her. Which of course makes some sense since Fuko is dead and if her sister ended up seeing her in the middle of the school she would end up in a mental institution… sigh… our happy ending looks farther and farther away… and why is it that we cant get any more hints for Nagisa and her own world??? I’ll be off to watch the next one...

By the way I really liked the fact that they throw around random video game things… it’s really funny. Makes me wonder if the actual game had them… maybe if I magically learn to read Japanese I could buy it and play it… now the only thing I need is a genie…
