Stray Notes:
This was one of the most difficult subjects, since Clannad is one of my favourite shows of all time
I was gonna discuss time and space (since it likes to make references to Urashima Taro and The Dandelion Girl), but I decided to do something a little simpler
And I say this as I am having second thoughts on the clarity of the video :c
If you're curious, I have some mixed thoughts on Clannad's ending - I may elucidate on it further, but in short, I get what Maeda was trying to do, and I respect for him it, but I'm not the biggest fan of it
I didn't use Small Palms because copyright. Trust me, I would've loved to
A polymorphic code is when something not only means something, but can also parallel, push a plot or narrative, or act as a secondary literary device

You may find James Monaco's "How to Read a Film" - a book I believe is absolutely essential to basic film theory (next to Leo Braudy's Film Theory and Criticism) - to be helpful. Monaco's use of the code is a great starter
Bordwell, David, "Three Dimensions of Film Narrative", http://www.davidbordwell.net/books/po...
I couldn't find anything concrete that challenged or bolstered my argument, but Maeda did apparently make an interesting comment on how fixated he was on showing Fuuko's character through her hands: https://forums.animesuki.com/showthre...
