Clannad after episode 2.
Oh geeze....
Where the heck do I start with this one?
The summary of this episode is simple. Find sunohara a girlfriend.
This has got to be THE funniest episode of Clannad to date.
Essentially Sanae offers to be sunoharas "Practice girlfriend" But before all that we get to see some nice visuals and some more development on the other world. From there, it starts out with nagisa and tomoya discussing sunohara over lunch. Tomoya comes up with a plan to get sunohara a girlfriend. Off to yukines they go to discuss the plan with her. The subject comes up of her being sunoharas girlfriend, but one of her delinquint friends pops in and essentially threatens to kill sunohara. A brief attempt is made for either kyou or ryou...
Well lets just say..book to the head. Tomoyo is likewise unwilling.
In desperation Nagisa and tomoya ponder sunoharas character when like a goddess on high sanae suggests that she would be his practice girlfriend so that sunohara would understand how to treat a girl in the future.
Well.... The screencaps are enough for you to get a feeling. Basically, sunohara is awkward with this as sanae trys to get as far into character as possible to help him. This is helped by the fact that sanae looks like a teenager herself so it doesnt raise TOO many eyebrows.
And god are there funny scenes in this one.
I like the lightheartedness of the episode but really they are obscurely going through the differing family themes in a manner that while consistant with the visual novels storyline, also happens to be one which took the story and made it their own. Kyoto Animation so far has been doing one heck of a job (* Hides from the Haruhi purist Faction*)
Anyways, enjoy these screen caps for a bit while I go get some sleep.
