Nagisa's "I only died once" almost made me laugh and cry at the same time

I honestly hate to accept the fact that 'just some' anime manages to touch me emotionally to that degree - but Clannad surely is something else, proven by the fact that even a chibi-parody of it still manages to trigger an emotional reaction.

It truly is something else...

Perfectly encapsulates my reaction too. Brain couldn't decide how to react and overloaded.

This is exactly how I feel. I dont know weather I should laugh because they comedically reminisce the moment, or cry because they DID really remind me of that scene (and background music, the gloomy one)

Not gonna lie, I was hoping that someone says "By the way, my name's Christ". XD

I've never been so conflicted between feeling sad and laughing than when they went over who counted as dead characters, especially for Nagisa.

Cool how Angel Beats is already making its presence felt right out the gate.

I really wanna cry seeing all of my favorite Key characters together, but they balance the comedy out just long enough to make the tears stop

You've just gotta love Key franchises man. ❤️

Were was kanade all this episode?

Legit started laughing out loud when everyone who has died basically spoiled their deaths to everyone! The Key franchise is really full of dead people!

Anyway, the Shindai Sekai Sensen is finally here in full force! They even have their own club room which is exactly the same room they had! xD

we went from "wait if he didn't complete my storyline, i probably died" to "we have a single girl that created multiple parallel worlds on her own, out of which all but one was destroyed"

why i can feel like they are going to vanish like in angle beats later haha

They’re all dead lolz

Kaginado is just the Afterlife..... *mindblown*

Which means all of these properties / franchises are dead, and this is Key's funeral for them. :P

I'm laughing my ass out when the characters admitted that they died. 🤣🤣🤣

yurippe:why angel ( kanade) you made wings?

kanade ; cz someone told me they will look cool!!!

iwasawa and yiu together in team sss is something we were not able to see in angel bats anime!!!

watching again hinata and yui!!!!
ahhhh!!!!!

Angel Beats' Yuri have stormed the stage with Yuichi and Tomoya being all that cross-dressing and stuff, her dominance is back.

Too bad the other characters are spending their good time on the school carnival, so there's that.

Too be fair if I recall right after binging all the Key animes Makoto(the ginger haired girl) didn't just die but literally vanished and any memory of her disappeared.

And the two main leads of Air literally reincarnated 3 separate times at the same moment. Like the main character reincarnated as a bird, child, and adult man.

Also I wonder if the cast of Angel Beats remember how they all disappeared too in the end of their show?

sadness and laughter at the same time "henna khanji"

Why the hell Tomoya and others are cross dressing? hahaha

Re:Write characters we live an die many times

The main character got to live the true harem route by dating, marrying, and having a family with all the heroines except the main one.

everybody's dead Dave

No tears falling in this episode, but seeing Yui made my eyes water at the very least

Nagisa just casually admitting she died from an illness damn near made me tear up

I didn't know this short series existed

I do not understand what is going on

Key is engaging in some self-deprecating humor. :P

We've learned from experience T^T

key characters are unvaccinated

They couldn't resist the fun stuff
