Clannad 7
I realize this is early on in a 50 episode series to be making these comments, so take it with as big a grain of salt as you can when I say that thus far I'm not really all that into this show. I haven't really clicked with it, and I think that's because the way I'm seeing it so far, it feels rather, well, generic? Basic? Not unique? Maybe I've just seen too many high school comedy animes at this point, but the gags feel flat and stale, and I feel nothing when the emotional scenes play. I'm not sure if its that I feel there's a lack of a hook, or if the execution doesn't appeal, or if it's neither of these things and I myself and am just out of sync with this show. I grant that with 43 episodes left that doesn't mean much, but it is how things stand presently.
On a more positive note, I do think that the idea of compounding the girl being forgotten atop her already being not actually there is a good touch on things, and if that's executed well it'll go a long way toward improving this arc in my eyes. Too much of this episode was cockroach girl crying over things I guess I should have felt something about but really did not.
