This route is shit and so is Tomoyo
First of all this route handles it’s length poorly. it’s way too long and filled with filler most of the time.
Second the romance is not really my thing in this one, personal preferences i guess.
Okay so Tomoyo came to this school to save sakura tress and see them again with her brother.
She had been working hard till she met Tomoya and then she starts to ignore her responsibilities, i can tolerate how oblivious she was till she became student council president but after that…
using the announcement system for her own selfish reasons and keep abandoning her work to see Tomoya. Tell me Tomoyo you wanted to save those sakura tress didn’t you? Then why are you ignoring your duites!! those tress aren’t gonna be saved if you keep sitting idly, your brother almost lost his life for your family. Don’t you wanna work hard like you did at first to save those sakura tress.
She becomes literally selfish forgetting about her goal and not caring what could happen.
Also if my memory serves me right we get the whole flashback of how Takafumi got into an accident and her family was reformed but when it’s asked that why does she wants to save the sakura trees she gives one line “I Just want to see one more time together with my brother” .
Come on writers i get ‘less words carry better’ is a thing but this won’t work here, this isn’t an anime where i could see her face and how emotional she’s feeling. This is a visual novel where words are valued most. So because i couldn’t feel that this was important to her, this goal of saving the trees was important to her i couldn’t connect with it.
There are instances where it’s good though. the bad end especially where she just gives up everything and follows tomoya the only one she has left as she couldn’t possibly face her family now. The breakup is a strong one too but i think it wold have been better if tomoya had tried one last time and told her “Hey you can’t get your goal like this, get your head straight and start taking your responsibilities” before opting to break up. Tomoya didn’t do something bad but he didn’t do something worth parsing too.
