Line 27:
Both seasons and the movie are licensed by Sentai Filmworks, the employees of the once-prosperous [[ADV Films]]. The first two episodes are available online for free.
''CLANNAD'''s [[Clannad
Not to be confused with the melodious friends and family of [[Enya]].
Line 49:
** A more poignant example, from near the end of season one: in front of the whole drama club, Tomoyo tells Nagisa, [[Graceful Loser|"I'm so glad he chose you."]] The slighted parties -- Kyou, Ryou, and Kotomi -- each give their own version of the [[Aside Glance]]. [[Tsundere|Kyou]]'s is almost defiant, with a hint of Tomoyo-directed dagger eyes. Her [[Different As Night and Day|twin sister]] [[Shrinking Violet|Ryou]]'s subtler [[Aside Glance]] registers shame rather than anger. Subtlest of all is [[Emotionless Girl|Kotomi]]'s: her head doesn't even move as she peers at the audience; evidently she's too lost in thought to fully register that Tomoyo has (inadvertently?) insulted her.
** In ''~After Story~'', [[Aside Glance|aside glances]] are common ways to punctuate a joke, especially (but not always) at Youhei's expense.
* [[Author Appeal]]: Everything [[Key
** Not quite everything, considering Key's [[H
* [[Awesome McCoolname]]: When he first meets Tomoya, Nagisa's dad decides that his name is too wimpy and proceeds to try to think of a better one. Something big and imposing, like "Galaxy Cosmos"...
* [[Awesomeness By Analysis]]: A [[Subverted Trope]], when [[Teen Genius|Kotomi]] plays baseball: at the plate, she starts a thought stream about angles, velocities, and so forth, while fancy schematics and statistics flash by in the background. But when the pitcher actually pitches, Kotomi chickens out, and the ball winds up bouncing off the bat's handle simply by accident.
Line 57:
* [[Bait and Switch Credits]]: The first season opening credits prominently feature an important character who doesn't appear until ''~After Story~''. [[Cutting Off the Branches|Might count]] as a [[Spoiler Opening]] for players of the [[Visual Novel]]. Might count as a bit of a [[Spoiler Opening]] even for those who haven't, in that the scene depicted doesn't take place until more than halfway through the [[Grand Finale]].
* [[Baseball Episode]]
* [[Beautiful Dreamer]]: A hint of this, in the ''~After Story~'' [[Omake]] episode 23, set a year before the first episode of season one. Kyou finds Tomoya sleeping in the school courtyard and is about summon her newfound [[Class Representative]] powers to scold him for being late to class. Instead she gets lost in noticing [[Bishounen|how beautiful he looks]]. (Unless you choose to view this episode as a prelude to the [[Alternate Universe]] OVA ''Another World: Kyou Arc'', this scene fuses [[Beautiful Dreamer]] with [[Ship Tease]].) Note that Youhei spoils things by not only waking Tomoya up but claiming that Kyou was about to pull a [[Dude, She's Like, in
** Not surprising since Kyou is the first girl besides [[Forgotten Childhood Friend|Kotomi]] to fall for Tomoya.
* [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]]: Between Kyou and Tomoya, both in Kyou's route in the [[Visual Novel]] and in the [[Alternate Universe]] OVA ''Another World: Kyou Arc''.
Line 68:
* [[Bishoujo]]: Design aesthetic used for just about every female character in the cast.
* [[Black Comedy Rape]] - In the [[Visual Novel]], Tomoya uses an expression involving Kotomi (who has a fear of being bullied) having a tail. Kyou launches a thorough investigation and checks breast size while she's at it. Kyou later uses threats of "massages" to coerce Kotomi. This is downplayed -- somewhat -- in the [[Anime]].
* [[Blue
* [[Blunt Metaphors Trauma]]: Ah, Kotomi and your continued abuse of Japanese wordplay. Half the time she doesn't get the joke being made and the other half she's made a [[Incredibly Lame Pun|horribly obvious one]], often leading into a...
* [[Boke and Tsukkomi Routine]]: As part of his effort to socialize Kotomi, Tomoya tries to teach her this. It culminates in Kotomi, Ryou, and Nagisa working together to learn the ''tsukkomi'' role, with Kyou as their strict teacher.
Line 79:
* [[Break the Cutie]]: Tomoya is a male example.
** {{spoiler|Poor Kyou and Ryou.}}
* [[Breather Episode]]: In ''~After Story~'', episodes 19 and 20 have elements of this. Not that they're light and fluffy -- they're [[Tear Jerker|Tear Jerkers]] in their own right -- but at least in comparison with {{spoiler|episode 16, in which Nagisa dies giving birth to Ushio; episode 17, in which we learn that Tomoya, in his grief over Nagisa, has fallen into [[Heroic BSOD|such a severe depression]] that he has essentially ''ignored his own daughter for five years'' and thus become precisely what he hated most about his own father; episode 18, in which Tomoya reconciles with Ushio but bursts into tears (and takes us with him) when telling Ushio about Nagisa -- and of course, episode 21, in which Ushio (and possibly [[Death
** The first half of ''~After Story~'' episode 16 serves as a breather '''half'''-episode. {{spoiler|Because of the episode's [[Downer Ending|second]] [[Death
** It's odd to consider the first episode of a season as a breather episode, but episode 1 of ''~After Story~'' certainly qualifies. After the power of the end of the first season, and before all of the nuclear powered emotional scenes later in ''~After Story~'', it starts with the cast... playing baseball?
* [[Brick Joke]]: The stars given out to everyone by Fuko {{spoiler|are forgotten due to her coma status prevailing and preventing her from waking}} majorly are seen by the ''viewer''. [[Tear Jerker|Emotional impact]] occurs when the viewer realizes that {{spoiler|the characters cannot remember their actions with her}} but can only be remembered by the stars.
Line 92:
** Sunohara "enjoys" an unusual niche among [[Butt Monkey|buttmonkies]]: just about everything bad that happens to him is his own fault.
*** Except when it involves Tomoya's pranks. Even though you can tell that Tomoya is true friend when push comes to shove, he's also a jerkass of a friend too. Though, I guess abuse is okay when its anyone on Sunohara.
* [[By the Power of Greyskull]]: Parodied with Kotomi, whose naive attempt at a [[Magical Girl]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyKwqfOCsUk impression] involves an [[
* [[Call Back]]: The "Okazaki SAIKOU!" scene in After Story references Fuuko's dream in Ep. 6 where Okazaki says the same line and is wearing (nothing but) those same black tights.
* [[Can't Hold His Liquor]] - Nagisa becomes fully-flushed drunk the ''second'' she downs her cup and turns into a [[Clingy Jealous Girl]].
Line 109:
* [[Childhood Memory Demolition Team]] - Used repeatedly.
* [[Class Representative]] - Both Ryou and Kyou (in separate classes). [[Shrinking Violet]] Ryou, however, was assigned the job via lottery. Her more outgoing sister [[Tsundere|Kyou]] is in at least her second year as [[Class Representative]].
* [[Closeup
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]] - Kotomi, when she first gets drafted by Tomoya. (She gets better though. Somewhat.) Also, Fūko. And of course Sunohara, who, unlike the others, actually ''is'' stupid.
** At least some of the time, Nagisa. And her parents. Actually, as Tomoya [[Lampshade Hanging|observes]], most of the people in the town have at least occasional aspects of [[Cloudcuckoolander]].
Line 129:
* [[Dawson Casting]]: One of the major complaints of the dub is that some of the voices sound WAY older than they should, especially Kyou and Tomoyo.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Tomoya.
* {{spoiler|[[Death
** {{spoiler|[[Subverted Trope|Subverted]] later in the [[Anime]] series, when Nagisa survives through the forced time-reset that Tomoya instigates.}}
* [[Death
* [[Deliberately Monochrome]] : In what surely must be a [[Shout-Out]] to ''[[
** In addition, the [[Anime]] series occasionally employs briefer [[Deliberately Monochrome]] sequences in order to imply a sense of unreality -- for example, when Youhei is in a fog after first waking up.
** Late in the series, a heart-breaking use of [[Deliberately Monochrome]] - episode 16 of ''~After Story~'' concludes with something of an [[Ironic Echo]] of the series' opening scene. Whereas the original scene gradually bursts from monochrome to full color as Tomoya and Nagisa first notice each other, here the color palette fades from almost surreal intensity (even the tree trunks are purple!) to nearly black and white, {{spoiler|to signify that Nagisa has died.}}
Line 139:
* [[Demoted to Extra]] - Let's just say that ''After Story'' is one hell of a [[Demoted to Extra|Demotion To Extra]] for any heroines not named "Nagisa." Justified since After Story is the continuation of her route.
** A better example would be Yukine, who was originally intended to be one of the "main heroines" and her route was supposed to be longer but Jun Maeda was unsatisfied with her route. She still ends up with Tomoya but her route is noticeably shorter and lacking in impact compare to the main heroines (Nagisa, Tomoyo, Kyou, Kotomi, Fuko). All of the heroines take a back seat to Nagisa but it was always intended to be that way.
** Fuko after her arc is completed in the first season. She does make occasional reappearances, but the characters don't remember her, and she only shows up for comedic effects for the rest of Season 1. However, it's subverted late in Season 2, when the real Fuko does show up again, mostly for Ushio [[I'm Taking Her Home
* [[Deus Ex Machina]]: The ending of the [[Anime]] series. There was a lot of foreshadowing for those who know where to look. Also, those who have played the [[Visual Novel]] all the way through will recognize it as the true ending. Reactions to this ending often lead into [[Fan Dumb]] territory.
** Considering that [[Alternate Universe|alternate universes]] are also a very important point, a [[Deus Ex Machina]] may not have happened at all. In the universe where {{spoiler|Ushio and Tomoya die}}, they really did {{spoiler|die}}. The miracle is that {{spoiler|Nagisa survives in an alternate universe, though it is unclear whether the consciousness of the Tomoya of both universe are the same}}. This is supported in that the miracle does not happen after {{spoiler|their death}}, it happens only if you re-play {{spoiler|Nagisa's death scene again}}, making it like you're playing another route.
Line 155:
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: In the [[Alternate Universe]] ''Tomoyo Arc'' [[Omake]] episode. Tomoya and Tomoyo are sitting next to each other on a park bench when a distraught Tomoya spills ice cream on his knee. Tomoyo's hand reaches out of frame as she reaches down to wipe the ice cream off his knee. {{spoiler|It's just then that Tomoya announces he's breaking up with her. The visual suggestiveness of the scene only increases the scene's emotional punch.}}
** In the same episode, the moment when the railroad crossing gate first rises has a faint hint of [[Something Else Also Rises]].
** [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]] combined with [[Dude, She's Like, in
* [[Do Not Call Me Paul]] - Honorific example: in the [[Baseball Episode]], Akio calls Misae "Misae-chan" and Tomoyo "Tomo-pyon." They are not amused.
* [[Doorstopper]] - With so many arcs, the Clannad visual novel takes a very long time to complete.
** Especially since you HAVE to complete ALL of the routes to play and complete the ''After Story'' arc, widely considered to be by far the best part of the entire story/game.
* [[Down to
** Basketball match of episode 16 of season 1. Your average stuff of winning by one point included.
** Baseball match in episode 1 of ''After Story'', pretty much the same thing.
Line 168:
* [[Dream Sequence]]
* [[Dropped a Bridget On Him]] - In the [[Visual Novel]]: Hiiragi Kappei. So effeminate-looking that Tomoya is unsure of whether he is a guy or a girl even after he states his gender. Even after having the truth dropped on him, Sunohara, in a state of denial, chooses to pursue what Tomoya calls "unrequited love." The [[Ho Yay|implications]] are not lost on us.
* [[Dude, She's Like, in
* [[Early-Bird Cameo]] - Ushio. In the first season's [[Spoiler Opening|opening credits]], no less.
* [[Earn Your Happy Ending]] - Quite literally. In the game, you have to go through every character route in order to get the "true" ending of After Story. To put it in perspective this involves around 100 hours of reading, not to mention crying your eyes out on at least half a dozen occasions.
Line 209:
** Kyou calls everyone by their first names.
* [[Flash Back]] - We sure have a lot of them.
* [[Flashback Nightmare]] - Tomoya starts to have these as he gets closer to Kotomi, complete with [[Freeze
* [[Foreshadowing]] - When Sunohara asks Yukine to be his fake girlfriend, a mishap happens which foreshadows Yukine's story arc.
** Additionally, when the topic of the possibilities of multiple worlds and timelines was mentioned in episode 16 of After Story, Tomoya suddenly remembers Nagisa's play, which is a rough description of ''The World that Ended''
Line 264:
** {{spoiler|Also Tomoya becomes a [[Hot Dad]], as well.}}
* [[Hot Shounen Mom]] - Nagisa's mother, Sanae, who is frequently mistaken for her ''sister''. In the second season, she pretends to be Sunohara's girlfriend; her disguises make Tomoya blush, which in turn makes Nagisa nervous.
** {{spoiler|Nagisa becomes one herself in the movie, the anime and the canonical endings to the game, effectively making Sanae a rare non- [[Tenchi Muyo!]] Hot Shounen ''Grandma.''}}
** It's implied that the one person Nagisa viewed as the greatest threat to her relationship with Tomoya is ''her own mother''. Case in point: ''~After Story~'' episode 13: Nagisa gets drunk and [[Hilarity Ensues]]. Also a [[Crowning Moment of Funny]].
{{quote| '''Nagisa (drunk)''': Tomoya-kun! Is Mom that interesting to you?<br />
Line 275:
* [[Identity Amnesia]]: After their deaths, {{spoiler|Tomoya and Ushio forget who they are (or were) when they are reborn into the Illusionary World as the Garbage Doll and the Girl}}.
* [[Ill Girl]] - Nagisa was held back due to illness while her friends graduated. Meanwhile, {{spoiler|Fūko has been lying in a coma for years, and is projecting her ghost into the school}}.
* [[I'm Taking Her Home
** In season one, Tomoya and Nagisa say the same thing about Mei.
* [[Imagine Spot]] - Tomoya has quite the amusing imagination! Not so much as to call him [[Mr. Imagination]], though.
Line 287:
* [[Informed Attractiveness]] - Nagisa is supposedly more attractive than average, but this isn't evident by her character design. (She's drawn as being cute, of course. But so are almost all the female characters in the series, to the point where it tends to blur into [[Generic Cuteness]].)
* [[Innocent Cohabitation]] - Tomoya temporarily moves in with Nagisa and her family due to issues with his dad. Sunohara is shocked when he finds out and rather annoyed when Tomoya continues to insist that [[She Is Not My Girlfriend|they aren't a couple]].
** [[Playing
* [[Instant Fanclub]]: Fuko's. If provoked, she can summon her admirers as an attack.
* [[Intertwined Fingers]] - Ryou and Nagisa.
Line 299:
* [[Large Ham]] - Yoshino Yuusuke, who after hitting a ball in a baseball match, proceeds to give out a hammy speech about "Intangible Memories"... and gets balled out. (He remembers to call for a time-out the second time he tries it.)
** And Akio. Not surprising since {{spoiler|he was the unofficial king of the drama club when he was in high school, and he even embarked on a career as an actor -- before a near-tragedy with young Nagisa closed off that path.}}
* [[Leaning
* [[Leitmotif]]:
** One for each member of Tomoya's harem -- except poor [[Demoted to Extra|Ryou]]. Yes, even Yukine. Also, the first season ED, ''Dango Daikazoku'', functions as both the ED and Nagisa's [[Leitmotif]].
Line 329:
* [[Mood Dissonance]]: The second season Episode 16 ends with {{spoiler|Nagisa dying after giving birth, a [[Flash Back]] over Tomoya's happy moments with her, and Tomoya wishing he had never gotten involved with her so that she might still be alive. With the words "I should have never met her"}}, the screen fades to white, aaaaaaaand ... cue the cheerful, bouncing ending theme ({{spoiler|which showcases the whole cast, ending with Tomoya and Nagisa}})!
* [[Moon Rabbit]] - Mentioned in the first ending song.
* [[Name's the
** Not exact, but Yukine Miyazawa is way too close to [[Kare Kano|Yukino Miyazawa]] for comfort, even more so when you realize both are voiced by the same actress.
* [[My Name Is Not Durwood]] - When Tomoya first meets Nagisa's parents Akio and Sanae, they keep inventing bizarre names for him (e.g., "Cosmic-san"). They're not being mean, they're just rather [[Cloudcuckoolander|cloudcuckoolanderish]].
Line 356:
* [[Punched Across the Room]]: This tends to happen to Youhei. (A lot.) Sometimes down the hall, out the window, and into the top of a nearby tree. [[Crowning Moment of Funny|And down a garbage chute]]
* [[Pungeon Master]] - Nagisa's father Akio.
* [[Put
** Several characters after ep 14 {{spoiler|Tomoyo, Mai, Yukine, The Choir Club Girls}} and ep 16 {{spoiler|Sunohara, Kotomi, Ryo}} of the second season.
* [[Really Dead Montage]] - In the anime, you could almost hope {{spoiler|Nagisa, and later Ushio,}} just fell asleep or something, were it not for all the flashbacks.
Line 363:
* [[Relationship Upgrade]]: Many, between Tomoya and Nagisa. That each one is hard-earned -- Tomoya is hesitant to open up; Nagisa is a [[Shrinking Violet]] -- just makes them that much more heartwarming.
* [[Relationship Voice Actor]] - Quite a few:
** [[Mai Nakahara]] (Nagisa) and [[Yukari Tamura]] (Mei) in four other shows: ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha
*** For ''Higurashi'', we can add [[Satsuki Yukino]] (Misae) who voiced [[Fan Nickname|Shmion]] Sonozaki.
*** Coincidentally, [[Yuuichi Nakamura]] (Tomoya) voiced Vice in ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha
** [[Mai Nakahara]] and [[Ryoko Shiraishi]] (Kappei) also play roles in ''[[Saki (
** Recently there is an upgrade, where [[Yuuichi Nakamura]] (Tomoya) and [[Houko Kuwashima]] (Tomoyo) will be voicing both the previously unvoiced [[Super Robot Wars Destiny|Joshua Radcliff and Cliana Rimskaya]] in their appearance in [[Super Robot Wars Original Generation|2nd Super Robot Wars Original Generations]].
* [[Reset Button Ending]] - [[Inverted Trope|Inverted]] in this series, as compared to other [[Reset Button Ending|Reset Button Endings]]. This undoes the existing [[Shoot the Shaggy Dog]] ending.
* [[Ridiculously Cute Critter]]
** Botan, Kyou's pet piglet, who seems to be following in the spiritual footsteps of [[AIR
** Dango family
* [[Right Behind Me]] - A [[Running Gag]] has Akio talking about Sanae's bread before learning she was behind him and heard the whole thing.
* [[RPG Elements]] - After Tomoya successfully pulls off a prank on Fūko, the action will sometimes freeze and a congratulatory "you mastered a new skill!" message will appear to an old video game-style tune. ''Mastered "Shooting Juice up the Nose!"'' Also, when Sunohara wants to join Tomoya and Nagisa to help the theater club, Tomoya's perspective for his response [[Shout-Out|changes]] to that of the ''[[Little Busters
* [[Room Full of Crazy]] - A room covered with certain newspaper articles.
* [[Running Gag]] - Any events where someone says Sanae's bread tastes like trash, especially if it's Akio who says it
Line 390:
** In the extra episode "The Event from One Year Before", Sunohara comes up with the idea to play a prank on the incoming freshmen using a banner ball with a pull cord tag reading "Pull me. It'll be fun!" The freshmen are all too aware of the obvious trap that's in store, but {{spoiler|''Nagisa'', bless her naïve little heart, pulls the string...and gets a konk on the head from a big metal pan for her trouble.}}
** [[Discussed Trope|Discussed]] in episode 20 of ''After Story'' when Tomoya gets a visit. It's about pressing red button if it says "don't press".
* [[Self-Deprecation]]: The show frequently pokes fun at itself while [[Leaning
** As for the characters, both Nagisa and Tomoya often think of themselves as undeserving to be happy due to their flaws.
* [[She Is All Grown Up]]: Mei, briefly, in the [[Grand Finale]]. Blink and you might miss it. (Trust us, [[Perverse Sexual Lust|you won't want to miss it.]])
* [[She Is Not My Girlfriend]]: Tomoya and Nagisa, with gradually increasing frequency, as people see them interacting and come to the natural conclusion. It becomes very evident to every single girl at the end of episode 18.
** [[Playing
*** In the game they were actually dating, they just hadn't told anybody about it yet.
* [[Ship Sinking]]: Four alternate romantic options (Kyou, Ryou, Tomoyo, Kotomi) are [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvemcebvJb8&feature=related swiftly dispatched at once during a tennis match late in the first series], the girls becoming increasingly miserable as Tomoya's unconscious behavior makes it crystal-clear who the [[Official Couple]] is. Their tears were matched by tears of ''[[Die for Our Ship|rage]]'' from shippers, the obviousness of said [[Official Couple]] be damned. Well, there's always the [[Visual Novel]]. And the [[Alternate Universe]] arcs for Tomoyo (season one [[Omake]] / episode 24) and Kyou (''~After Story~'' [[Omake]] episode 25 / OVA).
Line 411:
** ''~After Story~'', episode 8 has a shout out to Akiko from [[Kanon]] and her [[Lethal Chef|special home made jam]] (in a deadly combination with Sanae's bread).
** It even has a shout out to the visual novel. Tomoya imagined that life is an RPG. Sunohara wants to join the party. They can use "smoke", "attack" or "magic on him. There is no option to let Sunohara join.
** A shoutout to ''[[
** Sanae is wearing [[AIR
** When Nagisa finds a videotape of her dad's high school acting days, he's playing the lead in ''[[
* [[Sibling Yin-Yang]]: Kyou and Ryou.
* [[Sibling Triangle]]: Kyou and Ryou, with Tomoya.
Line 431:
* [[Standing Between the Enemies]]: Yukine stopped two gangs from fighting {{spoiler|by revealing that her brother was [[Dead All Along]] }}
* [[Starfish Character]] - Fūko, and not merely because she loves starfish.
* [[Staying
* [[Stock Footage]] - Fūko's reappearances.
* [[Stocking Filler]] - Fūko.
Line 440:
* [[Stupid Sexy Flanders]] - Tomoya initially goes through this with Hiiragi Kappei in his arc in the visual novel due to Kappei's androgynous appearance.
* [[Supporting Harem]] - Even in the [[Visual Novel]], where other girls have their own routes, it was made obvious that Nagisa is the lead girl.
* [[
* [[Team Mom]]: Yukine is the [[Team Mom]] for both the city's rival gangs. (This includes acting as the resident "nurse" and provider of sanctuary.)
** Misae is a more official [[Team Mom]] to the residents of the boys' dorm over which she presides -- especially the rugby team, but also Youhei and thus by extension Tomoya (although he doesn't actually live there and is not technically under her supervision). She also has a motherly relationship both with Nagisa and with Tomoyo.
* [[Tempting Fate]]: In the first episode of the first season, Tomoya hopes that Nagisa's father is sane. {{spoiler|It took years after Nagisa's [[Death
* [[The Day the Music Lied]]: The VN several times starts playing emotional music during scenes that are set up to be misleading either to the audience or characters. Such as Tomoya starting to tell Tomoyo that Sunohara loves her, or when Kyou pulls Tomoya aside to show him a love letter, the assumption being that it's from her to him. The music starts in both cases only to get cut short by Sunohara butting in to say he wants to fight Tomoyo or an irritated Kyou explaining it was from some boy to Ryou.
* [[Theme Tune Cameo]]: The closing theme from the first season, "Dango Daikazoku," pops up frequently in the series, especially in ''~After Story~''. It appears both as a [[Leitmotif]] (it's Nagisa's main theme) and as a song in itself, usually sung by Nagisa herself, but sometimes by other characters (usually Tomoya) when they're remembering her.
Line 454:
** Background characters to someone who is a background character to start with.
* [[Through His Stomach]]: When Tomoyo, The Fujibayashi sisters and Kotomi all individually cook breakfast for Tomoya to cheer him up for getting suspended, things get tense as they show up one by one to deliver three full course meals. [[Hilarity Ensues|Then Fuko shows up too]].
* [[Throw the Dog
** Still in the ultimate canon route ~''After Story''~, the later years writers have not been kind enough to him, he has no clear background, he is not even visible in here, the most you know about him is that he got a job as soon he graduated and that's it.
* [[Thunder Shock]] - Experienced by both Nagisa and her theatrical mother, Sanae. In Nagisa's case, her antennae-hair is temporarily withered as a result.
Line 476:
** The Dango song gets incredibly epic at the end; very unusual for something that is supposed to be a jingle for rice-balls.
* [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic]] - Tons of it. For example, the hill Tomoya and Nagisa climb up together represents life. The fact that they climb it together means that they journey through life together.
* [[What Happened to
** Cue to many fanfics about what he was doing during these times, Sunohara's lack of appearance only made many of his fans with willingness to write crazy to interesting stories for the fellow; only in fanon Sunohara gets to love and be loved by someone.
* [[Where Are They Now? Epilogue]] - The montage at the end of the [[Grand Finale]] (while "Chiisana Tenohira" plays).
