Really… thanks for this detailed explanation
just before I red this, I felt like I need the third season to answer my confusion
but since I knew that third season is impossible to be made, I have to find myself the answer to this confusing happy ending.
I relieved now, I feel like “this is over” and I’m very happy i’ve ever watched and understand this masterpiece
Once again, Thx a lot

I was really puzzled by everything that happened in the final few episodes of AS but you made so many thing clear to me! I haven’t played the game but I think I’ll try it out sometime soon ^^.
Thanks to your analysis and the comments of a few others I can finally stop breaking my head over this subject!
What a wonderfull anime, I love the fact that everyone has their own idea about what happened. And your version is more that satisfying for me :3.

1- nagisa died
2- ushio died
3- tomoyo died

Then the illu world ushio created new world using the power of light orb , a world where they can live happily , so in other word its like another life in a world has the same people as they were in their world.

I absolutely loved Clannad and think you did a very good job of interpreting the series. However, I think it is just as logical to say we really didn’t see their first life (and as you point out in your piece their second life would be very similar to their first only with nagisa living) until after she dies. However, I think you may have over-analyzed fuko (though it is definately a valad thesis while we’re are talking time trave and alt worlds.) I tend to believe the illustory world evens occur at the same time thougout the series (and are infact kotomi’s world) but the conscious minds of tomoya and ushio are not aware (or even there) until they ‘die.’ At which point tomoya is sent back TO HER BIRTH and a miracle occurs (or perhaps it is simpily another possible realty they now get to live) due to his gathering of the lights and they live happily. Under this interpretation his meeting with nagisa (or perhaps her spirit since they may very well be dead) and the fluffy disjointed images are all in his mind as the time shift occurs. I tend to see fuko’s meeting with ushio as a way to tell the viewers that she woke up and will now meet nagisa and tomoya again though ushio (remember she does state they will ‘naturally’ meet again.) Though again when talking these kinds of things you can say and back up logically many interpretations (because remember there is no one path time takes as they keep telling us.)

Great… Now you got me thinking that Fuko is Furude Hanyuu.

I really liked your explanation it really helped me make sense of things and how they all fit together. Now the idea of Fuko being able to travel through dimensions is a nifty one. It does make sense that she could as she seemed to appear randomly when her help was needed even though it was usually comical but i think the dream projections of her in both the real and illusionary world don’t have a combined memory of events. If this was true Fuko after being released from the hospital would have remembered everyone including Tomoya which isn’t the case. the only time she is ever stated to remember anything at all is when she remembers Ushio’s scent. I think this could be because Ushio is the illusionary world and because Fuko could go between them she can pick out the she’s there but cant remember anything else that she did while she was sleeping. I also have not played the VN i would love to and have tried finding a direct download link with translation patch but cant seem to find one. I would use a torrent of it but im not allowed to use torrenting software on my University internet so i need either a direct download of it or i need to wait till i go home for Thanksgiving break. If someone has a direct download i could get it from i would really appreciate it if you could post a link. I have a Megaupload premium account so if you have it all on megaupload that would work perfectly.

Hello there,

After finally finishing After Story (I stopped watching the TV show after ..uh ..experiencing the movie which revealed what would eventually happen!), I was looking for peoples views and interpretations on the whole thing.. and especially the imaginary world. The first thing I found, the 2ch diagram, was really, really bad and honestly only spawned more questions and uncertainties. Then I stumbled upon this.. I must say I enjoyed your version very much and can’t but agree with the most part. Thanks for all the work and time to phrase it all into this blog article. If you ever decide to pop it into a .pdf like first announced when you wrote this, it would be awesome to be somehow notified about it
