History Heartwarming / CLANNAD

** Kyou's and Tomoyo's endings. EarnYourHappyEnding indeed...
** I can't believe no one has mentioned the moment at the end of this episode when Tomoya finally gathers up the courage to tell Nagisa that he loves her. Nagisa's subsequent reaction, combined with the CrowningMusicofAwesome in the background led me to fight back tears of joy. This could also count as a CrowningMomentofAwesome.

* Misae's arc in ''After Story'' always leaves [[{{@/lilpurplebird}} this troper's]] heart full without fail even during the sad moments.

** [[{{@/Psyga315}} I took that line as]] "We are forcing you to achieve our dreams!", but I get what you are saying.

* Episode 19 of ''~After Story~'' had a couple major ones. In the beginning of the episode, Tomoya spends the day with Akio and Sanae, after finally snapping out of his five-year HeroicBSOD, And Akio, during a game of baseball, says it best
---> '''Akio''': Welcome back to the world of the living, kid.

* Besides being a BigLippedAlligatorMoment and a CrowningMomentOfFunny , each time Fuko shows up after her arc is this in its own way because it show that, even though [[spoiler: they [[RetGone don't remember her]] and she's [[AstralProjection she's technically in a coma]] ]], she will come to her friends' aid whenever she is needed.

* Clannad is absolutely ''packed'' with these, but episode 18 of ''~After Story~'' takes the cake and eats it too- the scene where [[spoiler:Tomoya's estranged daughter Ushio tells him that she has to find the robot he bought for her rather than getting a new one when she lost it because it's her first present from her Papa, and Tomoya tearfully embraces her while promising to be a better father to her reduced This Troper to tears. Followed by Tomoya himself crying openly on the train while telling Ushio about how he met Nagisa.]] Watch it [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPGLfVnXb3M here]].

* The entire middle section of episode 22 of ''~After Story~'', [[spoiler:a montage of the reset button ending that covers where all the characters are now]],consists of the biggest ongoing CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming in the history of human fiction. It's a Crowning Half-Episode Of Heartwarming. Mere words cannot describe it, but it reduced This Troper to tears AGAIN- tears of pure joy. Especially as up to that point it looked like the series might be going out on the bleakest of TearJerker Downer Endings.

* This troper could hardly contain the feelings of pure heartwarming in the last episode of Season 1. When Akio came skidding into the packed school auditorium to deliver one of the greatest of all possible GetAHoldofYourselfMan speeches to a crying Nagisa at the top of his lungs, affirmed by Sanae and Tomoya. "We let our dreams become your dreams! Because that's what parents ''DO!'' That's what ''family'' does!" So amazing it should also be CrowningMomentofAwesome.

--'''Ushio''': Ah... A big crybaby. But a person who did her best to give birth to me. And, [[Tearjerker the person Daddy really loved!]]

--> Nagisa: "You're right."

* After Story Ending: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdFLPgf3q4Q Dango, Dango, Dango, Daikazoku...]] The whole ending montage [[spoiler: when we find out that Nagisa and Ushio are alive makes up for the endless [[TearJerker tearjerkers]] that preceeded it.]] It a world where the DownerEnding [[TrueArtIsAngsty is chic and artsy]], it's nice to see a show that isn't afraid to give the characters the HappilyEverAfter they deserve.

* The baseball scene in [[spoiler: Episode 20 of Season 1]] when Nagisa accidentally confesses her love of Tomoya is just [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ba5-qZ7qP6U adorable]].

* The end of Kotomi's arc in season one. After having spent all the years since her parents' death thinking they had loved work more than her and trying to repent for burning what may have been the last remaining copy of their potentially world-changing research, her parents' colleagues deliver something that her parents must have spent their last minutes trying to save just before their plane crashed, abandoning their research so that it could fit in the suitcase: a teddy bear, the birthday present Kotomi had asked her, along with a note written in English leading that whoever finds the bear deliver it to their daughter. Then comes a montage of the note being read in dozens of languages and the suitcase being passed from hand to hand, until it finally reaches the people who will be able to safely deliver it...
