As he attempts to help each girl overcome her respective obstacle, he begins to realize life isn't as dull as he once thought. Claiming he has nothing better to do, he decides to help her achieve this goal along with the help of four other girls.Īs Tomoya spends more time with the girls, he learns more about them and their problems. The opening of Tatsuya Ishihara's TV series Clannad (2007) typifies this idea with. Tomoya learns Nagisa has been held back a year due to a severe illness and that her dream is to revive the school's drama club. This is borne out, for example, by Rintaro's movie X (1996). Eventually he concedes and befriends her. However, Tomoya finds he is noticing Nagisa more and more around school. Nagisa claims they are now friends, but Tomoya walks away passing the encounter off as nothing. He soon discovers the girl's name is Nagisa Furukawa and that she exclaims things she likes in order to motivate herself. Without warning she exclaims "Anpan!" (a popular Japanese food) which catches Tomoya's attention. The rest of the movie is that period of time in the show where Tomoya becomes. One day while walking to school, Tomoya passes a young girl muttering quietly to herself. Not even 10 minutes after Nagisa's big performance, we immediately get to Nagisa's death, which is already rushing through the majority of the second season (granted, that season did have a decent amount of filler) Something about this just felt so off to me. Along with his friend Youhei Sunohara, he skips school and plans to waste his high school days away. Tomoya Okazaki is a delinquent who finds life dull and believes he'll never amount to anything.
