Really quickly: it’s hard to explain, but somehow what AIR failed hardest at (its episode count) came back not to haunt Clannad After Story but to ameliorate it. The recap episode provided the recognition required on the show’s part to validate the wiki history state reversion.

Also, Toradora!’s ending (eps. 24+25) pleased me immensely. It did three important things: it brought all the characters together in consensus/friendship/understanding, it was extremely passionate, and it recognized that these are still kids. The eloping theme was awesome to have, and even more awesome not to follow up on—I would have been shaking my head at the idiocy of these kids if they’d gone through with it. As things stand, it was just full of emotional win.

More on these later, perhaps.

Also, more on my life, since I’m supposed to be killing the site with non-anime blog posts. Or something.

Anyway, running for dinner with my dad now, then will be back to write a philosophy essay.

Cheers!
