"Konata" means "here", "this side", a little old-fashioned word. "Kanata" means "far away", "the other side" The subtitle of this 22th episode is "Koko ni iru Kanata", that has double meaning, one is "The yonder here, English subtitle", another is "Kanata is here".
In less than 5 minutes, this anime showed us how much this man loves his wife, I can't even imagine how much pain he actually felt the day he lost her.
The missing mother who changes a lot of things. Main premise of Evangelion, Cardcaptor Sakura, and Lucky Star. Three totally different approaches, at first glance.
Love Live too was initially supposed to allow me some recovery. "Recovery my ass" as the idiom goes. And here again. (Akira Kogami's arc too has some, well, intense moments, right?)
It reminds us of our dears ones who left this world so that’s why we cry over this comedy anime 😭 I’m in tears for real while writing this comment 😢💔 remembering my big sister
Jay Smith yeah but like who doesn't want another clannad ? Clannad was (in my own personal opinion) great, it really showed the best parts of love and loss and there's not many animes, no shows,movies and series that do that. I think it would be great but it's very unlikely to happen
other animes don't make me cry because most of the characters are too perfect, but this shows the good and bad of the characters and the acceptance of that.
It's very sad, but also very touching. It shows how much Sojiro and Kanata loved each other. Despite not being there, Sojiro carried on with caring for Konota, and being the best parent he could. That is being a devoted husband, and devoted father. That's something that can't change...ever.
StormWolfJachinDue Even if he is a perverted lolicon, he still gave his all when it came to caring for Konata. Even if he may be a bit too close to her at times, you can really see the loving relationship between father and daughter. Kanata was as lucky to have Sojiro as Sojiro was to have Kanata, and Konata is as lucky to have Sojiro as he is to have Konata.
@@saltypotato4796 I said it because he perceives himself that way, not because I believe it. Because I am one of those who also believes that he is a great father, a great uncle (with Yutaka) a great husband in the past, and today a great widower. Always looking out for the well-being of Konata, Yutaka, and looking out for the best possible rest in peace for Kanata. He's just kind of a weirdo. But he really is a great guy. Kanata knew that better than anyone.
Never ever judge a book by its cover. I had to learn this the hard way too. And so I never will ever again start an anime for sole comedy and recovery purposes XD
You never stood a chance. It's ok. You were bracing yourself with angel beats... but you weren't prepared when it came from a meme worthy slice o' life comedy...
The final shot of the house is what got me.... After everything that happened, after the tragedy that struck, this family was able to stick together and be happy... This is why I love KyoAni. This is why KyoAni was, still is, and always will be the best studio in the industry. I hope that after the tragedy that happened recently, KyoAni can rebuild as a family, just like Konata's family did. Thank you, KyoAni. Thank you for everything. ;-;
Even for a failure like me there is always one thing I'm confident about that I'm the man who loves Kanata the most in the whole entire world. Jesus this Hits so hard
My dad told me that when I was around the age of 2, my mother had a sudden heart attack, where she died moments later. I grew up without a mom, and I also have no siblings. My father became an alcoholic when I was about 5 years old, but now he's been getting help and got better. It's not a wonder that I straight out cried on this episode.
You are an incredibly strong person for having lived through this, this journey have made you strong, so be proud of yourself. I've lived through a very similar life, but it also made me strong. Big hugs to you.
Since I've watched Lucky Star when I was still a child I forgot so many scenes, after already leaving school and never having a chance of love and being a weirdo without many friends I honestly thought that I would have no chance at love at all, that I was destined at being alone because I am too weird for other people to like me, but honestly this scene re-awakened a feeling in me, that there might really exist someone who will love me because I love them
Quote from one of my favourite series "No one is gone forever" even if the person is no longer there they still live on in our memory, and when we look back at the fond memories we had with them it's like they're still there with us.
At first, I thought he was just another perverted husband... But I was wrong... He really is the best husband and a father. I know this is a comedy anime but damn... The feels are real...
This is what true love really is. Accepting someone for their best and worst parts because you know you both have a sacred bond that cant be replicated. I also lost my mom so this was a very heart-wrenching scene. I really hope I can have a relationship as beautiful as Sojira and Kanata's.
There's a possibility that Sou actually developed his attraction toward petite girls _because_ of Kanata. Remember, they were childhood friends, and Sou may have already been in love with her by then.
Konata 's eyes have two positions: half-closed, or completely closed. This is because it's actually painful to open her eyes, even halfway. She often has to close her eyes to give herself some relief. This is why her eyes never open completely, because it would be unbearably painful. This is one of the unfortunate effects of her mother's illness, the other being her Cat Smile. It's not naturally like that, it just really hurts to put her mouth in a more normal position. Konata lives in a lot of pain each day, using anime, manga, and games to distract herself from what she feels is an empty, hopeless existence. She has never told any of her friends because she doesn't want to feel like a burden to them. If she were to tell her friends, they wouldn't see her as a burden, but a helpless soul in dire need of assistance. Kagami would be the most affected, since this would be a wake-up call. All the times Konata was acting immature and lazy weren't because she was immature and lazy, it was a facade to hide her pain, and that all the times Kagami got angry at her were hardly warranted. Thus, Kagami changes, going from Tsundere to a supportive friend who feels the need to help and protect Konata.
Y'know, I love getting these old anime clip videos from 16 years ago in my recommended since it just always fills my head with questions like "I wonder what this guy's doing nowadays. Are they in a relationship or something? How's life going for them, etc." It just always makes me think since this was a while ago and god knows what could've happened in the past 16 years. But hey, by the off chance the uploader sees this comment or something, hope you're doing well man.
I'm with you on this. Such a sweet song, and I bet it'll give me great memories of Lucky Star in the future. It already has a special place in both my heart and my playlist. And the scene was just priceless, almost had me drown in tears.
Lucky Star's characters are very interesting. I really want to see a reinterpretation of this series. But one that's a little bit more serious. I think that it would be very interesting.
That moment when cry not because of Kanata's death but how Konata's dad had shared so many memories with Kanata (before her death) while you have wasted your life staring at a monitor and pushing buttons
When he said he was certain the man that loved her in the whole entire world, it brought tears to my eyes! This, this right here, this is the perfect love! T^T
The characters arent overly perfect and unrelatable, but quite the opposite with their flaws but relatablility. Makes this scene much more touching and emotional despite being a comedy, and while i didnt understand it when i first watched it as a child, its a whole different story 10 years later
Sou: "there was one thing I was confident about" konata: what was that? Sou: that I was the man who loved Kanata the most in the entire world Kanata was right, you just can't beat that.
I watched this anime long ago when a friend introduced me to it. I was still a preteen/ teen and this scene didn't make me cry or feel emotional. Now at 25 i found the love of my life who is very similar to Konata's dad so this scene had way more weight to it and made my cry hard. 💙thank you kyoani
This is the first time an anime has bought me to tears. And it takes a lot to make me cry. This is the third time in my 15-year-old life that I've watched something sad enough to make me cry. That's why I love this. I'm a helpless romantic. Five stars, and I don't care what you say about me.
We’re the same age 👀 I was also watching lucky star back when I was 15, and somehow I got back into it and am now perusing through comments of old lucky star clips lol
"Didn't see that coming" - Madoka Magica turned it up to 11, Love Live too in a different way, and Haruhi from KyoAni before Lucky Star. Four very different approaches, yet with a lot of similarities.
God, no matter how many times I watch this scene, whether it be dubbed or with subtitles, I always get the chills right around 2:35. This is one the most memorable scenes from any slice of life I've ever watched
Adulthood...we're all goin' there some of us r already there. This scene makes me want to appreciate Life itself and the Joy of having a family. Truly amazing. ❤💕❤
