"Konata" means "here", "this side", a little old-fashioned word. "Kanata" means "far away", "the other side" The subtitle of this 22th episode is "Koko ni iru Kanata", that has double meaning, one is "The yonder here, English subtitle", another is "Kanata is here".

It's very sad, but also very touching. It shows how much Sojiro and Kanata loved each other. Despite not being there, Sojiro carried on with caring for Konota, and being the best parent he could. That is being a devoted husband, and devoted father. That's something that can't change...ever.

[@Shiverwar]

StormWolfJachinDue Even if he is a perverted lolicon, he still gave his all when it came to caring for Konata. Even if he may be a bit too close to her at times, you can really see the loving relationship between father and daughter. Kanata was as lucky to have Sojiro as Sojiro was to have Kanata, and Konata is as lucky to have Sojiro as he is to have Konata.

Because I am one of those who also believes that he is a great father, a great uncle (with Yutaka) a great husband in the past, and today a great widower. Always looking out for the well-being of Konata, Yutaka, and looking out for the best possible rest in peace for Kanata. He's just kind of a weirdo. But he really is a great guy. Kanata knew that better than anyone.

[@SpaRkofFiRe]

The final shot of the house is what got me.... After everything that happened, after the tragedy that struck, this family was able to stick together and be happy... This is why I love KyoAni.

I hope that after the tragedy that happened recently, KyoAni can rebuild as a family, just like Konata's family did. Thank you, KyoAni. Thank you for everything. ;-;

[@Limacinablues]

Konata 's eyes have two positions: half-closed, or completely closed. This is because it's actually painful to open her eyes, even halfway. She often has to close her eyes to give herself some relief. This is why her eyes never open completely, because it would be unbearably painful. This is one of the unfortunate effects of her mother's illness, the other being her Cat Smile. It's not naturally like that, it just really hurts to put her mouth in a more normal position. Konata lives in a lot of pain each day, using anime, manga, and games to distract herself from what she feels is an empty, hopeless existence. She has never told any of her friends because she doesn't want to feel like a burden to them. If she were to tell her friends, they wouldn't see her as a burden, but a helpless soul in dire need of assistance. Kagami would be the most affected, since this would be a wake-up call. All the times Konata was acting immature and lazy weren't because she was immature and lazy, it was a facade to hide her pain, and that all the times Kagami got angry at her were hardly warranted. Thus, Kagami changes, going from Tsundere to a supportive friend who feels the need to help and protect Konata.
