Uh, can someone explain to me about the robot and the girl in the beginning of most of the episodes? Is the robot supposed to be Tomoya or something?

Does anyone know if KyoAni originally animate Clannad in HD format or not?

Some of you mention about possible HD broadcast later, but is it going to be crop from 4:3 or is it going to be the original? More importantly, when is the HD version going to come out?

I've watched a couple episodes so far. If the HD version is going to come out soon, i'll hold back. I couldn't tell what, but i've a feeling that the picture doesn't show right in the current 4:3 broadcast.

It should be on the first page of this FAQ that the HD release is displayed. If not the second page.
HD of episode 2 is already out.

Thanks, sorry that i didn't notice it earlier. I'm going to check it out soon.

Hi guys,

I was just wondering if it's possible to get the entire game dialogue(basically all the words that come out in the box) in it's original Japanese form?

I've got the game but translating the kanji using SME drawing pad gets tiresome.

Asking for links to the game download is illegal I know but I already have the game but just need the dialogues to make translation easier.... I'm not too sure of the legalities involved in that.

So.... if this isn't illegal that is, then any kind directions to such material is much appreciated.

There's a link in here:

Is anyone doing a Wide Screen release outside of Sprocket and co.? A couple of subbers are putting out 1024x768 but they don't appear to be the wide-screen version.
(sorry, I just like seeing the whole screen, so to speak)

The answer is yes. Question answered : P
Please note that talks on fansub groups are dis-allowed so I can't tell you who. But make a search for CLANNAD on anidb.net you'll probably get some information there. (or even faster, just mail me and I can tell you in secret)

No... the series isn't licensed, and it isn't produced by MFI, so we're allowed to talk about fansub groups and fansubs. If it's listed on the AnimeSuki site, we can talk about it. However, even if it were licensed/MFI, I don't think that telling people where to search or offering an answer by PM would solve the problem. If it were against the rules, those would be too...

Anyway, to answer Vexx's question: yes, SS-Eclipse is also doing an Widescreen version (both 704x400 XviD and 1024x576 H.264), and a.f.k's release is Widescreen to begin with. All listed on the series page.

A little rundown of the widescreen Clannad releases for those following along:

SS-Eclipse:
- 1024x576 h264 softsub MKV and 704x400 XviD hardsub AVI
- Releases so far have appeared between Saturday and Sunday afternoon, American time.

TWH/Sprocket
- 1024x576 h264 softsub MKV and 704x400 XviD hardsub AVI
- The softsub still has the non-commercial release and game project notifications hardsubbed at the very beginning of each episode.
- Even in the softsub, credit translations are hardsubbed in English over a clean version of the OP and ED.
- Releases so far have appeared Sunday afternoon, American time.

a.f.k.
- 704x400 XviD hardsub AVI
- Credit translations are hardsubbed in English over a clean version of the OP and ED.
- Releases so far whenever they feel like. Gotta problem with that? Edit: Looking back, it looks like they've been releasing between Saturday and Sunday afternoon--yes, American time--too.

Personally, I'm following the TWH/Sprocket releases. In my opinion, they absolutely have the best subs thus far out of the regularly releasing groups that use softsubs. I would severely prefer the original credits and for the opening notes to be soft-subbed, but thus far their subtitles have been superior enough to overcome my aversion to those. I try to keep subtitles turned off after a first viewing, but I'd also rather not froth at the mouth upon seeing needlessly strange translations.

Actually, from what has been said elsewhere, the widescreen version of the series is actually NOT HD, but have been upscaled from an SD original. So while the picture quality is still pretty decent, it's not on par with actual HD in terms of detail level and crispness.

Oh, I thought HD means widescreen? So what does HD and SD means?

velocity7 · 2007-11-12, 10:40

Well, there's your Wikipedia articles if you want, but SD generally refers to 480i/p while HD refers to the 720p and 1080i/p standards. It's not clear whether or not CLANNAD was animated in HD or not, but at the moment, the current airing uses SD and has an upscale that BS-i uses to maintain an "HD" broadcast, albeit not native.

eMpTy265 <unranked> Join Date: Nov 2003 Location: Toronto	Part 10 - Hiragi Kapei Spoiler for Spoiler - Hiragi Kappei ... + ??: === Hiragi Kappei: The character to return from the dead=== -- Now let's talk about Kappei, his encounter conditions are as hard as those hidden characters. Maeda: Heh... at the beginning he was more hidden than the hidden characters. Kai: In other words, full completion was required before you could access his route, definitely harder than any hidden character. -- For him to be set at a position granting a light orb, what is the reason behind it? Kai: Since CLANNAD is about family, we will encounter many 'kinds' of families in the game. After playing Kappei's route, we can understand how Kappei's family is different - Spoiler for Heavy spoiler: he was abandoned by his original family, but in return he started a new family with Ryou. Maeda: Originally we thought about putting Kappei's story as an interlude in the AFTER portion of the story. However, we realized that completing Kappei's route would not be compatible with Nagisa's AFTER story, and as a result Kappei's story became what is it now. Kai: Due to that particular influence, we were forced to end Kappei's story in the school section of CLANNAD. Subsequently we relocated all the AFTER portions of Kappei's route into the school section as well, and thus resulting in a rather rushed scenario. To be honest, I was wanting to make a story where Tomoya has to deal with a friend passing away. -- ?! So in the original setting, Kappei was supposed to die? Kai: Kappei was supposed to be the only character that couldn't be revived. Maeda: However, in the light of Nagisa's and Ushio's tragedy, Kappei's permanent death will raise problems - that is "despite the existence of light orbs, why would Kappei still die?". To remove this unnatural contradiction in CLANNAD, Kappei's scenario was modified to become what it is. Kai: I was notified of the change shortly before the end of the year.... Kappei's route kept on getting changed, it really gave me a hard time... Last edited by eMpTy265; 2007-11-03 at 01:27.

eMpTy265 <unranked> Join Date: Nov 2003 Location: Toronto	Part 11 - Toshio Komura The last part of the school section, our well loved Komura-sensei... Spoiler for Toshio Komura - Story Spoilers: === Toshio Komura: His secret for his popularity is? === -- In the school section, Komura-sensei was also given the responsibility of a light orb... Maeda: This time in CLANNAD, I wanted to write about everyone, including the adults. Even though some players would prefer to skip these scenes and go to collect the girl's CG's. Kai: But judging from the fan's response, Komura seems to be pretty popular. Maeda: I wonder why that is so? He didn't have such a long route either... U1: Probably it's because of how this route revived many memories in the player's mind. Especially due to the fact that many people have encountered a memorable teacher that he/she had learned a great deal from. I've heard that it's a difficult thing to thank your teachers for their efforts, yet Tomoya and Sunohara actually walked up to Komura to thank him. That part is probably a bit over exaggerated. (Thoughts: The whole thanking the teacher issue is more significant in Asian society, where the relationship between student and teacher is more formal and distant. Unlike some western societies where the student and teachers can be 'friends' outside of school, Asian societies usually have a 'class difference' between students and teachers. That's probably why this route has more effect on players in Asian societies.) Last edited by eMpTy265; 2007-11-03 at 01:39.
