Clannad After Story 10

The robot and the girl continues to build the machine that could take them to a warmer place and the robot wonders what the girl meant by saying that she'll be unable to move once winter arrives. Tomoya is having a dream where he sees Kyou and the others bidding farewell to Tomoya and Nagisa who congratulates him on his graduation. Tomoya then wakes up and takes his school uniform when he realises that he had already graduated. Tomoya is now seen as a member of the society and a member of the family by Sanae and Akio and Akio also suggest to Tomoya to work in their bakery, which will give time for Sanae to make a bento for Nagisa. Tomoya agrees on it immediately although Akio warns him that the pay is not that good. Tomoya later goes to Nagisa's room and sees that she was alright and fit for school again. Work starts at 5am for Tomoya as he sets up the shop while Akio start baking the bread and the customers will come flooding in in the morning. Nagisa also leaves for school which Tomoya wishes her luck and take care. Akio then returns to the shop after wandering around and asks Tomoya if he wanted to play catch with Sanae's bread but Tomoya says that it was not good to play with food. Nagisa then comes into the bakery, saying that she wanted to see Tomoya working and Tomoya finds out that she was not in the same class as Tomoyo and Yukine too. Akio then asks the both of them if they wanted to have a snowball fight with Sanae's bread when she hears in and runs off while Akio chases after her again. Tomoya was very bored in the shop as there were no customers and when he sees Nagisa walking alone outside, he rushes to her and asks her for the truth on what was happening in the school. Tomoya then finds out that Nagisa was not communicating well with the classmates due to her repeating two years and the theatre club will be dissolved if she could not find any more members. Since then, Tomoya has not heard of any fun stories from Nagisa about school and Nagisa was always alone in the school and also in the clubroom and in the end, no one joined the theatre club at all. Tomoya sees Yoshino working when running an errand and asks him about Fuko, which Yoshino says that he has not gave up hopes on her yet. Tomoya then goes looking for an apartment when Kyou and Ryou calls out to him. While they were talking, Ryou recalls that she knows an apartment that the rent is cheap and Tomoya was interested in in. He quickly rushes to find Yoshino and asks him if he could work in his company. Tomoya then tells Akio and Sanae about him moving out and thanks them for taking care of him for a long time. Tomoya and Akio played baseball together when Tomoya asks him if it was alright for Nagisa to go with him in the future and Akio says that it will be Nagisa's choice. Akio also helps with Tomoya moving in to his new house and then leaves Nagisa and Tomoya alone. Nagisa then suggests to make tea when Tomoya thinks that it will be good if she would live together with him. Nagisa then leaves at night and tells Tomoya that he should contact his father about his location and Tomoya agrees before sending Nagisa off. The next morning, Nagisa wakes Tomoya up as he had work that day and prepares breakfast for him, including dinner too when he comes back home. Tomoya goes to his new workplace and Yoshino drives him to the location that they will be working on. Yoshino still regards Tomoya as a kid and tells him that the work is stressful but Tomoya replies that he has a strong body and it will be alright. On the high place they were working at, Tomoya is struggling to balance himself when Yoshino gives him tips and asks him to tighten a bolt when Tomoya drops his spanner onto the ground. Yoshino then scolds him for his carelessness and asks him what if someone important to him was below and therefore they must work with care. Upon coming down, Tomoya's body was aching all over and Yoshino tells him that he will get used to it soon. Tomoya collapses once he reaches back home and that shocked Nagisa. While eating his dinner, Nagisa tells Tomoya that her music class was with Yukine but Tomoya was already very tired and falling asleep already.

*wow, an advancement in the story... the apartment that he lives in now was the same as the movie too =D, looking at the preview was kind of sad for the next episode though, i tink Tomoya will lose his job and he even lost track of time, noooo, not another sad episode again T.T*

Chaos;Head 9

The investigators visit Yua which she tells them that she has narrowed down the suspects to one person, Takumi, after investigating alone for some time. Yua was the twin sister of one of the victims in the first new gene incident and she wanted to know the truth. Investigator Ban then receives a call from his colleague and finds out that the 6th new gene incident had taken place. Takumi also finds out from the net and realises that the 3 people who died in the incident were the exact 3 person who had injured Takumi before Kozupii came and saved him. Rimi tells him that it was definitely all a coincidence but Takumi does not believes it and thinks that it was Shogun (General) who had done it to provoke him. Ayase is back in her hospital ward where she was still having slight fever and she does not care about what is going to happen to her since she had gone through divine punishment. Takumi then continues to think what purpose Shogun has by targeting him as "Whos Eyes Are Those?" was a phrase that Takumi commonly use in the past and also writes it in his own essay. Takumi quickly rummages through all his old essays and saw the phrase but it did not make much sense at all. He then flips the paper around and is shocked to see a equation which Shogun had written too and it was exactly the same, he then wonders if Shogun was able to peep into his mind and begins worrying. His mobile phone then starts ringing and Takumi worries that it will be Shogun but it was Nanami in the end. He answers the call and only hears her calling out to him in a small voice and the call ends. Takumi starts to think if it was a prank call and did not pay much notice to it. Investigator Ban then asks Yua if she knew of a girl who was able to use amazing magic, like summoning swords from thin air. Yua replies that she knew and it was Ayase, the time where she pulls out her Di-Sword in a tunnel to show Takumi. Ban however tells her that the person that they saw was Sena instead. Yua also continues to say that she also saw Ayase split into 2 that day. Ban then concludes that wierd happenings revolve around Takumi. The other investigator then sees the Gero Kaeru, the keychain that she hangs on her bag and asks her if she could get one for her too. Yua then explains that a new design for it comes out every friday and the shops gets very crowded on weekends. This then lead to Ban thinking that it might have some connection with the new gene incidents as the GE rates increase on weekends too. Takumi, Rimi and Daichin then goes to visit Ayase when Rimi leaves the others while Takumi and Daichin goes to find Ayase's ward. Reaching the ward, Ayase was not there and Daichin sees that she reads fantasy novels and tells Takumi that it will be hard for him to keep up with her wierd hobbies if he was going out with her. Before searching for Rimi, who might get lost, Daichin asks Takumi if he and Ayase's relationship was just a rumour. The two of them splits up and Takumi goes to the upper floor where the surroundings become white and he suddenly felt that he should not have been there. He quickly runs off after seeing a black corridor. Sena and Kozupii then enters Takumi's room and Sena picks up his essay and sees the phrase and thinks that it had came from him. Upon flipping the paper, she sees the equation on the back and starts shaking and crushes it immediately. Takumi then returns to the ward and sees Daichin who had found Rimi and Ayase on the open ground outside and Ayase slapped Rimi and then walks away which leaves the other two shocked. Ayase returns to her ward and tells Takumi that he was suffering now due to the some hardship and if he overcomes it, a Di-Sword will be summoned in his hands. She continues saying that Takumi was one of the seven knights of Gladiale and he shall beat the Gladiale in the future. Daichin leaves Takumi behind after realising that he does not get what Ayase is saying and Ayase even continues on. Takumi tells her that he could not have been a knight since he does not even have a Di-Sword and Ayase tells him about her past in the facility where she recieved divine punishment and at that time, her own Di-Sword appeared. Ayase continues to tell him that all the seven knights of Gladiale has already arrived in Shibuya and they just have to awaken themselves. Ayase then ends with the fact that they have to hurry or the world will be destroyed. Daichin and Takumi then meets up with Rimi where Daichin left first since he was still unable to understand Ayase's words. Takumi receives a call from Nanami again but this time she said something about she doesn't know where she is and the call ends again but this time Takumi seems to believe that she was in trouble. Ban and Yua then reaches the shop where they sell the Gero Kaeru and he spots a delivery truck where the products come from Shinko Limited. Reaching home, Takumi and Rimi were greeted by Sena, holding her Di-Sword and asks Takumi if he was the one who wrote the equation. Sena then attempts to kill him. Rimi stands to protect him and summons her Di-Sword as well even though she understands the meaning behind the equation. Rimi also tells Sena that if Takumi awakens, it would be very dangerous and Sena replies to her that that it why she have to delete him. Sena rushes through Rimi with her sword that have no existence and after passing through Rimi, she real booted it again and prepares to kill Takumi when she sees her father standing in front of her and rushes to stab him in his chest. Her father hugs her and then she realises that it was just a delusion that Rimi had made her see. Rimi then tells them to leave Takumi alone but Kozupii declines as Takumi was her friend. Sena tells Takumi that the equation that he wrote was the beginning of everything and it had caused her family to break apart. Back in NOZOMI group, they were also discussing about the equation that is essential to Noah 2 and it was found in a scribble of a boy and they wanted to get the sample from a gigalomaniax boy, who was Takumi. Sena then tells Takumi that the equation will let everyone have the same power as the gigalomaniax but NOZOMI group will control all of them. Takumi tells her that he does not remember writing that equation while Kozupii says that she heard about the phrase from Sena's father as well. Takumi and Rimi then take the subway and on the way Takumi thinks about Rimi whether she was a friend or foe but thanks her for protecting him. Reaching Takumi's real home, Rimi tells him to go back to his container house but Takumi was worried for Nanami and rushes to find his own home but was unable to find it. Rimi then tells him that there was no place for Takumi to return, in this world. Back at the hospital, Shogun is seen in the wheelchair and goes into the dark corridor that Takumi had seen and a door appears there. Shogun enters the ward and outside was the name of the person warded and it was "Nishijou Takumi"

*waaaa, getting nicer and nicer liaos... its getting more detailed cos if its not, then its very hard to understand it, Ayase is always talking about all those chim chim things and Rimi's Di-Sword looks so cool!!~ so maybe the Shogun was really Takumi himself, but in the future?!*

Akane Iro ni Somaru Saka 9

The girls were all in the student council room enjoying eating something that Minato had made when she reminded the others that Jun's birthday was coming up. Yuuhi however does not really care about the birthday at all but the others doubt that and Yuuhi again says that it was her own true feeling. Nishino then enters the room and tell all of them that something has happened as it was concerning Jun. All of them rushes out and Yuuhi's photo with Jun in it was voted as 1st for a competition and that made Jun and Yuuhi a little pissed off. The 2nd photo was their teacher with Jun and Nishino does not seem happy about it and attempts to fight it out with their teacher for Jun. Meanwhile, Jun and Yuuhi were still quarreling and seeing how close the two of them are, Minato feels happy for the both of them. Back at home, Minato tells Yuuhi that Jun and her were like the best couple and keeps something away from Yuuhi. Yuuhi couldn't take the fact that Minato was hiding something and asks her to tell her while making a promise that she'll listen to her. Minato then reveals that it was about Jun's birthday party and Yuuhi had no choice but to help out and Minato hands her the task on getting a present for Jun while she will handle the birthday cake after collecting details from the previous birthday parties. Yuuhi then sees through a magazine for a present when Karen comes by and asks her why was she looking at presents since she does not care much about Jun's birthday and Yuuhi reveals that Minato asked her for her help and then she asks Karen for her help as well. Karen brings out a huge stack of catalogs and help Yuuhi choose a present for Jun but all those were not practical like getting a horse or a real cruiser for him. Karen then tells Yuuhi that the more she cares the Jun, the more she would want him to be happy. Yuuhi again denies her relationship with Jun and Karen suggests to Yuuhi to look at his personal areas which lead to Yuuhi going to search Jun's room. Going into Jun's room, the photo which won 1st place was seen framed up on Jun's table and that made her happy and continues to search his room. She finds figurines, gaming consoles, wristwatches, american musics and even books about making a secret hideout. Yuuhi is then troubled as Jun seemed to have everything and she was unable to think of something to give to Jun. Upon exploring his cabinet, she finds "those" kind of magazines and screams out when she sees the pages in it. She was shocked immediately but was still a little interested and continues to read it when Minato comes by her. She was then amazed that Yuuhi was able to find it and shows her the others that Jun had hidden well. Yuuhi asks her why does she know all these and Minato says that it was because she always tidies up Jun's room and suggests Yuuhi to look through the others too if she was interested. Yuuhi then reveals to Minato that she had went into Jun's room as she wanted to see what he has and to see what present she should buy for him. Yuuhi also asks Minato for some tips and Minato suggests to Yuuhi that she should bake the cake using the recipe Minato has as a birthday present. She declines at first as Minato had made that recipe by herself after so many years but Minato insists that she should make it and it will be alright with the recipe. On the day of Jun's birthday, Minato and Yuuhi woke up early and drove Jun out of the house for 3 hours where they start preparing the cake and Minato reminds her that it was the feeling that she must have to make the cake taste good after seeing Yuuhi being troubled with the complicated recipe. Jun went to the playground and played with himself with the slides and screamed that 3 hours was too long. Jun finally returns back home where he was greeted by the others for his birthday party and Nishino says to Jun that he has made a mature reply too and Jun replies that it "is" his birthday party after all. Yuuhi then looks at her cake and thinks that it will taste tasteless although she had already put her heart into it. Nagomi then appears and tells Jun that his present had arrived and it was from his parents. Jun was feeling a little down when he sees that they had given him a statue and gave Minato an opal instead. Karen also gives Jun her present which were messages from famous people. Jun then spots Yuuhi looking at the cake and goes forward to taste it. He remains speechless while eating it even though Yuuhi keeps pressing her for the taste and Jun smiled in the end. The others also came and eat the cake and gave their comments as quite a bad tasting cake. Yuuhi then asks Jun to say the truth in the first place but Jun just continues to eat it and says that it was delicious since Yuuhi had made it. At that moment, Minato's face went a little black and stared at the both of them. After everyone left, Yuuhi and Jun were chatting as Minato went to look at her recipe and reminds her of the past where Jun loves her cake very much and Minato wonders why she was not smiling and she had a special kind of feeling for the first time. At night, Yuuhi calls back home while a ticket for a flight from Tokyo to France is seen.

*a touchy ending XD... so maybe Minato and Jun were not siblings? and that was why Minato had a different kind of feel towards Jun. Yuuhi could be thinking to bring Jun with her to france, that could be a possibility too..., nice episode anyway =)*
