    As a past delinquent who dated a teacher´s daughter I really felt what Tomoya had to go through... However, the reason why I like Tomoyo is because she did what I struggled the most, which is getting back to my studies and become better not only for myself but for my family... also, Tomoyo was mature enough due to her background and that made her capable of understanding and feel sympathy towards Tomoya. I think her role in the game is more of what a mature person would act, as since the beginning she always knew what to do and how to do it something that most of the girls in the game don´t... not even Tomoya.
    And well, that´s why she´s best girl for me xd

    Tomoyo is a character I like a lot more in the anime. Her comedy works out more animated.

      "I'm glad she got a spinoff but I wish it had been her own story and not what tomoyo after is". That sentence is not clear for me. Do You wish some other story to be produced by Key rather than "Tomoyo After: It's a Beautiful Life"?
      Totaraum, I'm playing TA right now. The spirit of Clannad is still present. :-) The scenes instead of H-scenes (in the Steam version) are absolutely hilarious! The whole story really needs an animation.

    Gonna be honest, for me if this route hurts it's not because of Tomoyo, it's because of the fear of becoming a Tomoya myself, a man with no goals, away from all I used to love and going in an infinite loop of working in something I don't like, that fear of going into adult life is just something I can't think of without going nuts

  • @oysterbarron495
    @oysterbarron495 Год назад +4

    Tomoyo has one of my favourite routes romancewise, when I watched the anime long ago, I really didn't like her, because she was usually only used for comedy purposes, which makes sense since half of her route is romance content just like Kyou. I know there was the OVAs of the respective girls routes but it wasn't enough to make me like her.
    The VN opened my eyes to her, and I really think she's a great character.

    • @Totaraum
      @Totaraum  Год назад +1

  • @yourassistant981
    @yourassistant981 Год назад +4

    For me Tomoyo's route was just the most enjoyable. I liked the dynamic they had with each other and honestly watching the two of them slowly get closer to each other was great as well as the fact that Tomoyo was picking up on Tomoya's slack as well as doing what no one else did for him in years. Like waking him up in the morning cooking dinner for him and so on. Considering he didn't get any love like that in years due to his family problems it was refreshing to see.
    I liked how the whole thing ended up being "Is she too good for me" because in his eyes she had alot going for her while he's just slowly floating through life and the comments the teachers were making wasn't helping and I could tell its what made him say something completely irrational like wanting to break up with the girl that was perfect for him.
    Anyway I just think the two of them we're the best couple in the game for me.

    Hey Totaraum, long time no see, assuming you do see this comment and remember me lol
    I returned to this video after recalling the underrated yet amazing series that was “Why Clannad Is Perfect For Me” at 2am right now because I can’t sleep, got to the 4:55 minute mark of the video and proceeded to laugh at jokes after jokes. I missed this type of content, both a mixture of summary and video essay as well as great humor from your part. I definitely need to catch up on some of your latest videos
    And just as a side note because this idea keeps nagging at me every once in a while, which is how should I get to making videos like this if I want to get into creating content similar to this? I'm a storytelling obsessive frankly, and gush over well written works and character design, but I really wish to be able to get quality content like this out there if I work on them. All this to say I'm curious how you make these videos because I also want to rave about stories I love

    • @Totaraum

      I do remember, you were writing that story, right? I’m glad you’re still enjoying the videos.
      So you might have heard this before but the best thing you can do to start making videos is just start. The more you make stuff the better you’ll get, and there’s no need to worry about quality since it’s all a learning process.
      For more practical advice I can say copying a style you like in the beginning while subtly integrating your own voice into it is great. You’ll develop your own style through creating stuff. Also for software, audacity is a good free audio tool and Davinci resolve is an incredible video editor, also completely free. You’ll have to take some time to learn it though lol. For recording advice I learned everything I know from SBN3’s videos, like most people do
      Best of luck!

    In my eyes Tomoyo is just a strictly better Kyou, which must sound like blasphemy to you xD
    Tomoyo is similarly powerful and assertive as Kyou and adopts the same no-nonsense attitude with Tomoya, but whereas for Kyou that was partially a façade hiding her romantic feelings, for Tomoyo it's the result of her growth from a delinquent. In other words, Kyou's likeability is a flaw in her character, at least partially, whereas Tomoyo's is an accomplishment, an attained strength. Not only that, but there's still a cute crack in Tomoyo's confidence - she's self-conscious about her absurd physical abilities and worries she's not feminine enough because of them. Call her "manly" and she immediately withdraws and starts to clumsily overcompensate, which is what those remarks you criticized ("please protect me while looking cool" etc) were about. Call Kyou "manly" and you'll receive a kick in the gut, simple as that. One is significantly more interesting that the other. Tomoyo is also much more believable as a friend to Sunohara than Kyou is. Heck, she's more believable as a friend to Sunohara than Tomoya half the time, without sacrificing any of the funny abuse.
    I also very much appreciate stories that can show relationships with other people as more important than "success in life" without oversimplifying things or pretending romance is the be-all-end-all of life and nothing else matters. It's especially unusual to see it from this perspective, as usually it's the protagonist who's willing to sacrifice something for the loved one. It's much more difficult to be the person someone else is sacrificing their success for, hence Tomoya's prolonged moping session at the end of the route feeling actually justified (though still kinda lengthy for me though).
    For me, this is probably the best route after Kotomi's. Nagisa is of course not in the running, as her story barely counts as fictional, given how impactful it is.

      Well, given that Tomoya and Tomoyo are two of the most well known students in school for different reasons, and that Ryou's antics evolved a small rumor into a huge scandal, I think it makes perfect sense. Even if it didn't, whether a fictional group of high schoolers care about drama or not isn't a detail worth getting annoyed over
