Forced drama
Hey, I'm a hopeless romantic kind of guy. I'll admit it was a forced drama at the end. It felt kind of awkward and could have been pulled off a lot better. Clannad was a better drama and shook up more emotions that Toradora ever did.
Clannad doesn't have shit on this:

I am NOT happy with 25, not at all.

Look, Nagisa didn't really die, it's safe to get married damn it.

Arrrggghhh I wanted them to end married, not whatever the heck it was that happened.
Anime, one of the few things about the internet that doesn't make me hate the internet.

It leaves an open ending. But since there is no way to make a good sequel... But they left out the marriage cause then it would become a cheesy shoujo ending.

I agree, no died and then undied and there were no babies born. Clearly a nice romance, but not as good as Clannad.

Maybe if they have that extra season there's still a chance she can die in childbirth too :) (well she IS small eh, it isn't easy for small women so I am told).

But if they did then it would simply be a ripoff of Clannad, then it'd probably evolve into a cliche.

I prefer these more down to earth storylines like toradora. You can watch toradora and relate to it cause its an actual possibility in real life (Which is why KGNE is my favorite drama to date). While losing your wife and only daughter is a real possibility, they chose to have the miracle ending in which time reverses and they stay alive. Not only is that cliche but you can't really relate to it. I seriously would of preferred the epic drama ending in clannad with tomoya a complete miserable wreck over that miracle happy ending but that's just me.

Anyway this show > clannad IMO.

It's definitely one of my fav romance comedies, there is drama but its few and far between. Reminds me a lot of lovely complex.
"The people cannot be [...] always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to [...] the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to public liberty. What country can preserve its liberties, if it's rulers are not warned [...] that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants."-Thomas Jefferson

Ok you suck. That was the ending they used in the movie (Nagisa stays dead but Ushio doesn't die). AND in the game the TRUE Ending is the ending where Nagisa doesn't die. In the game it's not so much turning back time as it is simply replaying the After Story with an alternate (or rather true) ending unlocked.
