Well, can't say much . . .
This is really the best anime I ever watch, though I'm not sure that everyone will agree, but still two thumbs for Nagisa and Tomoya. . . . N their gangs too . . . Can't forget the foolishness of Youhei and Kyou, and also the slowness of Kotomi and Ryou, N still I want to watch Tomoyo act more girly, since I really like her . . . Anyway, 10/10 . . . Sooo Omedeteou for CLANNAD TEAM . . . |

Seriously now, 'family' is based reality; the two goes hand in hand because if the story is not realistic, or at least has parallels that can applied to the real world, the theme of family fails because you cannot relate to it anymore through your own or what you see of other people's family experiences. Family being rooted in reality is the reason that we can relate to Fuuko (despite being a 'ghost') wanting her sister to have her own happiness besides her. Its the reason why we can relate to Kotomi through remembrance of dead loved ones. It's the reason why we can relate to Mei because of gratitude towards what family members has done for us in the past. It's the reason why we can relate to Yukine, because we don't want to see destroyed what our lost loved ones have painstakingly and lovingly created. It's the reason why we can relate to Tomoya's Dad, because with family comes sacrifices. It's the reason why most of all, we can relate with Tomoya, because with his story tells us that an ideal family does not dwell on the bad things that happened in the past, but what is happening now and what you can do better in the future. And with episode 22, the message changed into something like "Even when the going gets tough, even when you have fallen in the deepest depths of despair, it's ok because things are happier in another alternate universe". Or "Don't worry if everything is going bad in your life, because some otherworldly being is going to help you make things right". And I can only go at this; just like the haremy part of the first season was so out of place within the overall context of family, so is this because it has no real bearing or relationship with the theme of family. Come to think of it, what makes Tomoya so special that he gets to have his happy ending? How about Yukine's brother still being dead? Or Kotomi's parents? Or Fuuko still losing that much time to her coma? Or Tomoya's dad still losing everything? I mean, Tomoya has lead a very shitty life. But so what? He's not the only one to have in the story proper. Everyone has had to live with a big source of sadness/trouble in the story and still live on despite of it; I don't logically see why Tomoya should be exempt from this. The more I think about the ending, the more my brain begins to dislike it even more, despite my heart liking it just because Ushio didn't die. So yeah, I think I should really stop thinking more about the ending, lest I really knock Clannad down a letter grade into the B's... and all that talk about 'otherworld' stuff in the ending thread is making it this close --> <-- into doing so.

Forgot to add, you can't deny that Ushio also is dead. Last edited by dgreater1; 2009-12-28 at 10:15. |

Well, I don't know. The ending is vague enough for people to think that episode 17-21 was a delusion. Of course, it would have been a rather detailed one. And it wasn't really confirmed until the recap episode which probably nobody watched to confirm he retained memories of the other world. The resolution was indeed really trippy and it probaly could have been done better. Of course, naturally this would be very hard to adapt. It's that just for me, personally, the series gave me enough suspension of disbelief to do it. Honestly, it'd be better if 24 was more than a clip show. Sure it's not as jarring as Air's recap episode (Seriously wtf with that?) but still.

I would give Clannad (mostly After Story) a 9/10. It's an excellent anime, being so incredibly beautiful both visually and emotionally. It's among my favorite animes. Absolutely spectacular.
The reason why it wouldn't receive a 10/10 from me is because of a minor imperfections and a disappointing ending which seems to completely disreguard the preceeding episodes with Ushio that turned out to be some of the most emotional episodes of the series. An anime would have to be perfect in order for me to justify giving something a perfect score. |

At the moment I saw only season 1 so I won't vote yet...
But my rating for 1st season is 9... would be 10 but somehow after Kotomi's arc and slight Tomoyo's arc it became boring for me... I'm not big Nagisa's fan so that might be the reason, sorry. I atually wanted to smack her many times there, especially on stage. Good thing her father came just in time to make things better. I would originally put 8 after finishing series but remembering how good were Fuko's and Kotomi's arcs as well how epic were Tomoyo's kick in the begining, I decided to go for 9 I miss Tomoyo's kicks and Kotomi's cluelesness and inoccence as well as her interection with Kyou (and also her epic violin playing!). Hope there is more of it in season 2.

I just watched both series in roughly a week, and it's been one the best animes I've ever watched easily in my favorite 5 I loved so much about the show rating wise I'd say like this:
Animation Quality: 10 - Never once disappointed me with character design, scene, or otherwise in animation. Voice Actors: 10 - All of them did amazing job for their characters each of them sounded very fitting, and different from each other. Script: 9 - The storyline was very good, though for few personally prefers I am giving it a 9 instead of 10 Spoiler for Reasons - don't click unless finished after story:
Characters/Emotional Attachment: 20 - Yes I am rating it a 20 out of 10 for this area bite me, reasons being in a spoiler don't click unless you've seen everything after story, and OVAs Spoiler for Emotional Stuff:
Music: 9.5 - I really liked all the background music for it, very fitting most of the time, and the 2 OP I loved, and only reason it's not 10 is cause while first ED was ok I can't say I really liked it, much-less the second one. Overall: 10

^ You know for a long while even after watching season 2 I'd kept spelling Tomoya as Tomoyo, which made things extraordinarily difficult to find pictures of Tomoya and Ushio together.
No worries.
