Clannad Update: Episodes 13 - 17

Well, I've finished with the Kotomi cycle in the story and was, again, left in tears. This show can sometimes be so sweet. They didn't resolve, though, whether Kotomi was going to study abroad. I guess she's not since she's still there. After Kotomi the story goes back into the Nagisa and once again Tomoya and his harem are trying to start a theatre club. But, oh no, there's only one teacher left who can be their advisor and the choir club has already claimed her. What's the group to do? I know, settle it with basketball. Sigh ... anyhow, they play basketball against the basketball team instead of the choir club and then Nagisa faints. Meanwhile various members of the harem start actively pursuing Tomoya after he says that he and Nagisa are not dating. Apparently he's decided not to date any girl because he's embarrassed by his drunk Dad. Bitch, bitch moan, moan ... dude get it together and get Tomoyo, Ryou, or Kotomi. Quit bothering with frail and air-headed Nagisa! Geez ...

Clannad: Episodes 7 -12

So I'm still watching "Clannad." Finally at episode 7, stuff started to happen around the story of spirit of Fuko. I guess I won't give it away since something actually happened. Anyhow, I have to admit I had a lump in my throat and I was fighting back the tears by the end of the Fuko story. I was so pissed at myself for falling under the spell of this low-keyed show.

After the Fuko stuff was resolved, they moved onto the genius megane chick, Kotomi, who hangs out in the reject library. She's socially inept and worries that everyone is going to bully her. One episode is spent with Tomoya teaching her how to properly introduce herself. And then Kotomi has a very interesting violin recital. I was mildly entertained. By the end of episode 12 things get rather messed up and interesting with her and Tomoya. I am eagerly awaiting episode 13. Personally, I would like to see Tomoya hook up with Kotomi more than Nagisa. Kyou also would be better than Nagisa. Heck, anybody but Nagisa! oh, except for Fuko -- she's an airhead too.
