Before we get to the main event below, I just wanted to point out something about last episode. After viewing the unusual scene above from ep. 3, I don’t think anyone can doubt the food=sex theme I’ve mentioned before. The imagery of Tomoya reaching over towards Nagisa like that, and then taking a bite (!!!) out of her lunch before returning it to her!!! How blatantly sexualized can you get! What else could this scene signify? I mean, I was not 100% sure when I brought up this subject the first time, but now there can be no doubt whatsoever! Anyway, enough Freud or whatever, its on to the main event: Deciding Which Clannad girl should I write a Rabu Retta to!
Tomoya! Please don’t squeeze the dango! (Courtesy of Clannad & MSPaint)
OK It is with great sadness I must report that my Love Letter to Shana has gone unanswered! Perhaps she was in “flaming-hair” mode and my letter got burnt? (As I read somewhere recently, “That’s why they burn, like paper!” lol) So I have decided to try sending one to one of the girls from Clannad. I did not play the game, so I don’t know where the different plot arcs of these five moe objects of lust will end. I will have to make my decision based only on what I know through episode 4. Here are some lines I thought I might try out. Please help me decide by voting in the poll!
Dear Fuuko,
I am so happy you spoke more this episode than ever before! I wondered if you were only a one joke girl, but it seems we might be able to actually have a conversation! And like you, I am also a fan of Lucky Star!
Dear Tomoyo,
Please give up on that blond fool! You can kick my ass anytime, I won’t complain! PS–Whenever I hear your voice I think about hunting Yoma, lol
Dear Kotomi,
You must be my intellectual equal! Did I tell you I’ve downloaded over 300 books from GoogleBooks? I also have many ero mangas we can practice from read together!
Dear Nagisa and Ryou,
I know that you two have something special going on, but please consider how much more fun it is to, um, “hang out” with three!
Dear Kyou,
Please let me take you on a date to Joe’s Pork Ribs Paradise. You will love this restaurant!
Dear Youhei,
You are an excellent example of a male kegadoru. Move over Ayanami Rei!

Oh god, when I looked at that first picture, I thought that anpan was a vagina :(
I took that food scene a little differently, as he was eating the food that her tears head fallen onto. It could be seen as his willingness to share her pain, a display of empathy.
i wonder what would happen if it is not nagisa’s but Tomoya’s anpan that tomoya took a bite then give the rest back to the girl?
Zeroblade: LOL
Tomoya is about to make a big mess with that dango….
@j.valdez >> Well, tears are just another bodily fluid, right? Just kidding; you are probably correct.
LOL I certainly recommend you write to Tomoyo

I wasn’t saying that my view was the correct way to look at it. I think you’re “food=sex” thing has validity simply because food and mating go together in most cultures.
I always lean towards viewer interpretation being valid in most context despite the intent of the story writer. Basically, I wasn’t arguing a point. I was simply offering another prospective.
Also, If I do any more post on Clannad, I’m going to see if I can ninja an mspaint-dango in there an see if anyone notices.
