A OVA to be watched whenever you are finished with the first season. You CAN watch it when you'd like, but it is best watched after the first season of Clannad. Along with the Another World, Tomoyo Chapter, the Kyou/Ryou Chapter is a very well done alternate reality from the main arc of TomoyaXNagisa. SOME SMALL SPOILERS AHEAD!
In this chapter, Kyou helps her younger sister Ryou into finally asking out Tomoya. Tomoya is obviously surprised due to Ryou hardly speaking to him at all, but decides to date her. They are quite happy for awhile, but, of course, some trouble occurs.
After awhile dating, Tomoya finds Kyou at a park and Kyou, after some talk, asks if Ryou and him have kissed yet. He has not, and she asks if she would like to practice kissing with her. And to the surprise of NO ONE, the whole school knows the next day, causing a lot of trouble with Ryou and Tomoya's realtionship. This is where it gets really interesting. SPOILERS END!
A lot of drama happens, feeling gets hurt, relationships are in turmoil, etc. I really enjoy what happens throughout, and if you are a fan of Kyou and Ryou, you will too. Rest is up to you to watch.
The story is very good, considering it is it's own different world than the original, and if you have read/played the visual novel, this wraps up some of the arc in the novel. I like it almost as much as the main story and it would have been interesting to expand on these type of alternate worlds, but seeing as they are just short OVA's, they have to wrap up everything right away. It is still great, but I would have loved to see more.
The sound is much the same as the original Clannad, as spectacular as ever.
Character's are as adorable and well drawn as the original. The character development is already there pretty much if you've seen the original. If you like'd these two girls before, they will be just as good if not better here.
My enjoyment may be different than yours, but I highly enjoyed this chapter. It made me happy to see these two characters get their own arc.
Overall this was a very well done OVA in every catagory. 9/10.
*Note: This is probably one of my first reviews I've done. Sorry if it wasn't great. If you folks liked it, I'd be glad to write more though!
