Clannad/Heartwarming

"Tomoya: Nagisa, I finally found it. The thing only I can protect. It was... right here."
 * D'AWWW.
 * And, by extension,
 * Clannad is absolutely packed with these, but episode 18 of ~After Story~ takes the cake and eats it too- the scene where Watch it here.
 * Made insanely Tear Jerker level by the Crowning Music of Awesome with Negai wo Kanau Bashou (The Place Where Wishes Come True)'s second version, with the whole orchestra coming in just as Ushio starts crying in Tomoya's arms. And it just continues on as

"Akio: Welcome back to the world of the living, kid."
 * 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 Heroic BSOD. Akio, during a game of baseball, says it best

"Tomoya: Nagisa.
 * And then there's the moment when Tomoya finally reconciles with his father.
 * The entire middle section of episode 22 of ~After Story~, ,consists of the biggest ongoing Crowning Moment of Heartwarming in the history of human fiction. It's a Crowning Half-Episode Of Heartwarming. Mere words cannot describe it, but it reduced me 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 Tear Jerker Downer Endings.
 * After Story Ending: Dango, Dango, Dango, Daikazoku... The whole ending montage  In a world where the Downer Ending is chic and artsy, it's nice to see a show that isn't afraid to give the characters the Happily Ever After they deserve.
 * Whenever has any screentime is made of Crowning Moment of Heartwarming.
 * Tomoya's marriage proposal to Nagisa:

Nagisa: Yes?

Tomoya: Let's get married.

Nagisa: ... Yes.

Tomoya: Are you sure?

Nagisa: I've always been thinking that you're the only one.

Tomoya: I'm a guy like this! I'm a really pathetic...

Nagisa: I am, too. But, if we're together, we can become strong.

Tomoya chokes up in tears and hugs her

Tomoya: Will you always be with me?

Nagisa: Yes. I will always be with you. No matter when. No matter how long."

"Fuko (To Ushio): You've never met your mother, right?
 * Submitted for your approval: The Proposal
 * The baseball scene in  when Nagisa accidentally confesses her love of Tomoya is just 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...
 * I 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 Get a Hold of Yourself, Man! 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 Crowning Moment of Awesome.
 * Kyou's and Tomoyo's endings. Earn Your Happy Ending 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 Crowning Music of Awesome in the background led me to fight back tears of joy. This could also count as a Crowning Moment of Awesome.
 * After Story episode 19. Tomoya finally tells Naoyuki that his efforts to raise a child alone were not in vain and he finally gets some rest.
 * After Story episode 20 when Fuko visits Tomoya and Ushio and ask's what was her mother like.

Tomoya: No. She only knows her face from pictures.

Ushio: But I heard stories from Daddy.

Fuko: What kind of person was your Mommy?

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

"Tomoya: "Doing this really makes us like a family."
 * Season 1 episode 9 gives us that scene:

Nagisa: "You're right.""


 * Another moment when
 * View Here here.
 * It was worth watching him struggle to succeed, it shows he truly loves Nagisa to have as much commitment as he did.
 * Besides being a Big Lipped Alligator Moment and a Crowning Moment of Funny, each time Fuko shows up after her arc is this in its own way because it show that, even though , she will come to her friends' aid whenever she is needed.
 * Misae's arc in After Story always leaves this troper's heart full without fail even during the sad moments.
