Tomoya’s Heroic Journey
Yeah. I came out of hibernation. Temorarily.
So, I haven’t had much time to watch anime lately, let alone write a post. Like, I’ve still got a few hours of homework left, plus some tests and project. Oh dear. But, procrastination is key, so here we go! This’ll be short though.
I just watched Clannad ep. 22. So this is what I have to say.
(And, if any of you are confused as heck what happened, go read Sankaku Complex for some epic spoilers explanations)
Basically, Tomoya overcame his fear of change. He was scared that the change brought about by his actions would result in the death of Nagisa and Ushio. But, he overcomes this fear through some epic time-travelling/foresight/light orb skills.
No, really.
Well, I think he realizes that if he doesn’t change, he won’t get laid nothing good will happen to him. It will just be a cycle of emo-ness and sorrow, being pissed at his dad, the city, and the world. So, when given the choice again, he chooses change, even after much hesitation. He is rewarded for his courage to change, plus his good deeds (taking the form of the light orbs), and gets Nagisa and Ushio back in the alternate reality.
That’s it for now. Might add some quotes (from Eclipse subs, mind you) later, if I feel up to it. I’ll also explain the title in another post.
In other news, I’m going to Japan during my school’s Spring Break, which is next week. I’ll be visiting around Tokyo as part of a tour group, and am leaving on Monday. I will definitely keep yall posted! Maybe even add some pictures… (Pictures? What’s this?)
Well, that’s it for now. Night! (depending on where you live, of course.)
EDIT: Just read Jason’s post on the last episode. I couldn’t of said it better myself:
It’s not the best ending.
She’s not the best girl.
But it’s the best story.
Such a story simply couldn’t have happened with any other girl. Just wouldn’t have worked.
Here’s to more heart-wrenching KyoAni x Key! (C’mon, Little Busters!)
