CLANNAD - Nagisa Furukawa Route & Character Discussion

[HeliosAlpha]

With the pair turned upwards and off-center in frame, there’s a distinct sense of motion into the negative space on the right. That combination hearkens back to the first meeting on the hill, but now with the couple moving up and towards a brighter future.

I think this picture of them walking up the hill is really cool. I’ve forgotten the details of why they’re walking up the hill in their uniforms after Tomoya has graduated, but that doesn’t really matter. I like having this be the final shot of the route because it’s them continuing to go up the hill. The hill is an allegory for the journey through life. School might be over for Tomoya, but life goes on; you just gotta keep walking.
