I would like to make 2 entries into one today since both of these shows just ended at the same week.. It is about Clannad and H2O ~Footprints In The Sand~.. So, please enjoy!!

H2O ~Footprints In The Sand~ Ep12:

From where the episode left off, we saw the elder trying to kill Hayami but was stopped by Takuma.. They were saved from the village elder’s wrath when Hotaru and Takuma’s uncle arrives with the police soon on their way there..

Hayami and Takuma’s uncle tried to call out Takuma’s name but he responded by calling out his mum.. Hotaru told her grandfather that his title as village elder is no more and that she will take over the elder’s position…

Hotaru later told the police about what really happened, who then place her grandfather in jail.

Unfortunately, Takuma’s mentality has experienced a drastic change, shifting to a child-like state, with the belief that Hayami is his mother..

Following the doctor’s advice, Hayami told everyone that she will be going to Tokyo where she could help with Takuma who is undergoing further treatment..

Life goes well for the two.. Hayami found a job as a newspaper delivery girl.. She still writes back to the village about their lives at the city..

On certain occasions, Takuma still recalls Hayami to some extent, much to the delight from Hayami herself..

Then on one fateful day, Hayami leaves Takuma’s side to go to the aid of a child on the railroad tracks, leading Takuma to remember that his mother had never committed suicide, but had attempted to save a life…

Upon realising this, he regains his sight and mentality, but is unable to stop Hayami from crossing in front of an oncoming train…

Years passed, and Takuma returns to the village… After building a windmill together with his uncle on the very same hill where he met Hayami, he thinks of her, and encounters a younger version of Otoha, who mentions something about convincing the Spirit Council..

He was confused as to what Otoha was talking about.. But as Otoha leaves, he was shocked to see Hayami walking up the hill and realises that she was brought back to life..

With that, the show ends with Takuma and Hayami together again… Such a good ending for a very dramatic show..

Now onto Clannad..

Clannad Ep22:

After Nagisa finds out about her parents’ secret past, she cannot take her mind off how she ruined their dreams, and becomes emotional and depressed.

Tomoya tried his best to cheer her up, telling her that it will be a waste of effort if she still feeling depress about her parent’s past..

On the day of the school festival, the whole theater club realizes that Nagisa is not herself, and try to cheer her up, but to no success…

Even Sunohara tried his very best to cheer Nagisa by teaching her a charm he creates.. The charm works by writing down a character ( in this case a kanji would suffice )on your palm and pretend to eat it..

But he still sucks at writing kanji which is pointd out by Kotomi..

Tomoya still put in alot of effort to bring Nagisa around the school festival in hopes that she would forget about it and have fun doing the performance..

However as the performance starts, Nagisa suddenly breaks down.. Tomoya didn’t close the curtains, much to the orders given from his friends to do so..

But Akio suddenly appears and gave some encouragement, who said that Sanae’s and his dream was for Nagisa to make her dream come true..

With that, Nagisa came to her senses, wiped her tears and starts the play..

The play ended in a huge success with everyone clapping for joy..

After the festival ended, the group decided to enjoy the rest of their day by clelbrating the success of the Threater Club’s first performance.. They also partied at Sunohara’s house, much to the dismay of Sunohara himself..

The next day both Tomoya and Nagisa went out together for the whole day.. As the sun is setting, Tomoya finally confesses his love to Nagisa in the club room..

This comes as a shock for Nagisa, causing her to cry tears of joy…

And the show ends happily there..

Not to forget the 3D animation ending about the robot and the girl which is nice..

Long story short, I find both anime to end at the right note.. The ending in H2O was awesome though I noticed that it will be a great miracle to bring someone from the dead.. But it is still nice to see Takuma reunited with his love, Hayami in the end..
This show isn’t as bad as Myself;Yourself where the faces of the twins wouldn’t be shown..

As for Clannad, it ends just nice when Tomoya confess his love to Nagisa.. Truly epic.. At least the show didn’t end half-happy, half-sad..

To end this entry, I want to thanked everyone for supporting these 2 animes.. And I also like to thank the people who made these animes a huge success with a great ending..

With that, I bid Farewell to both Clannad and H2O ~Footprints In The Sand~..

It’s one of the happiest and saddest episode I’ve ever watch.. It all happened in just 30 minutes..

Anyway, straight to the point.. Hayami-san, being accepted and loved by Takumi decided to serve a whole breakfast for Takuma and his uncle.. His uncle really thanked her well for the great meal..

Takuma walked to school with Hayami, who have the bell that Takuma gave it to in episode 9.. They met up wit Hotaru who spotted the bell but didn’t want to say anything to both of them, much to the furious Hayami..

In school, they were shocked when the class decides to give them a small celebration to celebrate the giving of the ‘love bell’.. However, Takuma, Hayami and Hotaru didn’t know bout it..

The only person who got left out of the ‘love-bell’ group is Yui-chan, who seems very depressed..

Well, after that, life returns to normal.. Hayami treats Takuma for a picnic at the top of the hill..

Their love was short-lived as Hotaru’s ‘evil’ grandfather decides to tell both of them about Takuma’s mother’s past.. He seriously have alot of personal issues with Hayami..

Having doubts, Takuma and Hayami quickly came back and asked Takuma’s uncle.. In the end, he told them that what Hotaru’s grandfather said is true.. Takuma, having the greatest shock of his life, decided to forget about it..

But it soon became worst as Takuma dreamt about his mum being taken away by Hayami.. ( Well it’s in the dream.. ) However, what he doesn’t realised that what he says in the dream is actually heard by Hayami too..

Feeling very hurt, Hayami decided to run away from Takuma’s house so that she won’t be a bother to him ever again..

I find this episode abit sad.. Having Hotaru’s grandfather spoiling the happiness between Hayami and Takuma just was plain evil.. However, the truth hurts and its better to have the grandpa said it than Takuma’s uncle..

Love is in the air for this episode of H2O..

Takuma Hirose was told by his uncle that the Summer Festival is coming, having see so many bells strung outside houses and on lamp posts… His uncle also explain about Hirose’s parents having the special bell during the festival.. This reminded him about his mother long ago..

When he was going to school with Hayami and Hotaru, both girls were shocked to see the bell.. Being shy, they walked away back home, without Hirose knowing why they did that..

Even Yui was smitten by Hirose when she saw the bell he was carrying on his bag..

Yui’s attempt to get Hirose’s attention works..

Anyway, Hamaji and Rin in the end told Hirose about what the bell is all about.. They told him that the bell symbolize a token of love to the receiver and she must visit him on the hill before the start of the Summer Festival..

Hirose, finally know what’s the use of the bell, decided to tell Hotaru and Hayami, but they refused to listen to him for awhile.. He even broke the string that was attached to the bell.. Hayami took the bell in order to fix it for him..

During on of the nights, Hotaru decided to pay a visit to Hayami at the small pond where she bathe.. However her visit was cut short after a fire burned down Hayami’s home..

Someone just think that Hayami needs a better home by doing it the hard way..

Having no place to stay, Hirose’s uncle decided to let her stay at his house.. Even Hirose agreed to him..

Having to “tsukkomi” alot of people in the last episode, I think he deserve to be punched for peeking at Hayami..

Hayami asked Hirose about his mother.. Feeling that she might be a busybody, he didn’t want to tell her.. But Hayami eagerness to let hime tell her so that she can help him finally allows himself to reveal his mother’s past..

Hayami, thinking that she upsetted Hirose, decided to seek Hotaru’s advice.. Hotaru on the other hand told Hayami that Hirose wasn’t upset but grateful to her.. She also told Hayami that Hirose will be waiting for her at the hill..

She ran to the hill as quickly as she could.. When she reached there, she wanted to give back the bell that she fixed earlier on but he declined.. Instead he offered the bell to her as a token of love..

This is so lovely, although a low probability of it happening to anyone in real life but everyone only can fantasize about it..

I find this episode quite touching, having Hirose admitting that he loved Hayami.. I wonder how Yui-chan might feel though.. She misunderstood Hirose bringing the bell to school..

Problem is, Takuma is the only person who didn’t know that this really happen..

Because of this, his ’sisters’ became sad and cried till their ‘mama’ which is actually Takuma’s uncle, came and scolded him..

This is just soo wrong…

Fearing of further scolding by his ‘mama’, Takuma headed for school where a new transfer student came to class..

She is Otoha who is actually a spirit helper for Takuma… However, this was not to be as everyone can see her and she suddenly admits that she is Takuma’s fiancee..

So she get to sit on Takuma’s lap in class which is like totally awesome since even the class congratulate both of them..

Wow, wish it really happens in school..

More weird stuffs happen when the students and teacher of the class were turned to chibi farmers.. They look like characters from Harvest Moon..

As if it’s not ridiculous enough. Otoha requires Takuma to *’tsukkomi’ people in order to collect enough energy to henshin. So Mahō Shōjo Ririkaru Nanoha ( Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha )..

*A typical tsukkomi often slaps the boke on the back of the head, an action always accompanied by an intentionally cheesy slapping sound effect.

There is also the Hatsune Miku parody in the show.. Go Yui-chan..

Leek are so L33T..

Anyways, it all turns out to be Otoha’s own dream world, where she intends to enjoy herself for a last few moments as she’ll be disappearing soon as her duty is done already. She bids Takuma a teary farewell, after wishing him the best…

This is probably one of the best episode in the show.. Though I’m saddened that Otoha has got to go.. But the randomness is totally excellent..
