(L) CLANNAD the Movie

Spoiler for WARNING! Major Spoiler! It's my theory of the Illusionary World! If you have played the game then read:

CLANNAD is a story of stories, much like a compilation. Imagine, the Illusionary World is like a giant library and the lights are books that contains unlimited path of endings, BAD and GOOD. Those lights go out of the Illusionary World to tell a story (similar to a book that's being borrowed or rent in the library) then will go back to the Illusionary World after that (same as returning the book to the library). That is my theory of CLANNAD, therefore, I view CLANNAD movie as CLANNAD with an alternate story that was cut on Tomoya and Ushio reuniting making us only wonder what will happen to them in the future.

Spoiler:

isn't the light is some kind of "hope" that can grant wish ? and okazaki is going on and on to collect this light to open an even promising future? so i would say illusionary world is like a checkpoint where one can redo their "stories" and with more lights that the player has, the more chance he will get the stories that he want in the first place

and if you put it in your theory, i guess we can call the movie an alternate universe then

We should probably discuss this on the Game Speculation Thread (For experienced player only). But anyway...

Spoiler:

I don't think it's a hope that can grant wish. Yukine described it as a sign of happiness, the girl in Illusionary World told the Robot that he was once a light as well, and she was also once a light as well but decided to be the representative of the Illusionary World. Therefore, it means that the lights are traveling back and forth to the Illusionary World and the other world that's connected to it. Which means, there's a Kyou, Tomoyo, Yukine, Kotomi, Nagisa, Sunohara, all the people in the town has a light in the Illusionary World much like Tomoya, the difference is, Tomoya has a body and is aware of the Illusionary World unlike the other lights.

lets continue in the game speculation thread

PLEASE ANSWER MY QUESTION HERE:

Spoiler for Movie spoiler:

Could someone explain to me just what the heck is going on here? Wikipedia shows that the series hasn't ended yet. Still we have 2 more episodes remaining. Nagisa is long dead...5 years. What next?

[hachihachi]

for me i wont want to know that answer yet. yes, the movie ends that way, but i am still harbouring hopes that the anime turns out differently. *i can always hope, right?*

the movie ending may be kind of OK for some, but i guess i belong to the anguished category......was totally upset by it.

That was the end of the movie, not the series...

Spoiler for Movie plot:

In the series Nagisa isn't suffering of any disease nor was in the hospital therefore we can assume that she is perfectly healthy.

Spoiler for Movi Plot:

So was i but i wasn't expecting anything else since i heard she took time off from school because she had a weak body. And in AniDB the image shows Nagisa and Tomoya with a child in his arms. Pretty obvious, right?

Spoiler for Speculation:

Alright, this movie seems like a low end movie to me. Honestly, at first, I didn't even wanna watch this. The changes were horrible, they rushed things too quickly or spent time too slowly, a variety of things. I was expecting a short School Story, and long focused AS, but it was flip flopped. Tomoyo seemed to be the antagonist at first, until I noticed she was talking in a different person tone, to take advantage of the situation to boost her campaign. The movie tried too hard to condense the game in a messed up way, when it should've let the anime do most of the leadup, and only use 10-15 minutes for it for the people who don't watch the anime. The ending is quite touching, and IMO, the only redeeming aspect of the movie.

[Tran225]

is it just me or does the movie have a lil problem in the volume for the people's voice? the background music volume sounds fine but the voice sounds are rather.. low

[X207]

does the character progression of nagisa in ep 21 reveal the last detail of her arc? im not going to watch the movie until i know that it wont spoil any other major events of nagisa's se1 arc. also does it explain more about the illusionary world in the movie than it has done so in se1 so far?

The movie goes into After Story which the anime probably wont go into. Yeah this is the end of Nagisa's School life arc which isnt as dramatic as the after story one.

[Kanzaki Urumi]

Just finished the movie, Sunohara once again plays a pivotal role.

Spoiler:

They could have given Tomoya some beard, messed up hair and some eyebags during his depression period. Decent movie though regardless of how shit it is at certain departments.

Typical movie style sound mixing. Many theatrical movies (or TV shows that tries to pass off as a movie like 24) have that. Relatively low talking volume and the incredibly LOUD musical/sound volume on top of it.

[Codine]

I was disappointed, it just felt paced wrong. My only reason to ever watch it again would just to watch how funny Sunohara is. Also it really cuts a lot of the characters out, Ryou is no longer in existance.

[Mai Kawasumi]

Decent movie... and I admit it... I BAAAAAAAAAAW'D when

Spoiler for Movie:

Nagisa dies

Sunohara and Akio were awesome

oh, Ushio is love <3333

[Deathscyther]

Animation: 7/10
I like the animation of the anime better

Characters: 5/10
They changed most of the personalities of the characters, and some were even left out completely...

Sound: 6/10 It wasn't really good, except for the cute dango song

Story: 6/10 They changed the story by a lot. Only the last few minutes really grabbed my attention. The tomoya/ushio reunion was the only good point of this movie.

I'll give it a 6/10 in total.
It was nice to watch one time, but they changed too much in my opinion. It was nice to see some after story elements, but I hope that the anime will make a season 2 to make their own after story as well. If you watch this movie without thinking that it's Clannad, so just seeing it as a random anime movie, then it's okay. But in comparison to the game and anime, the movie was disappointing.

OK-story 8.5-it reminded me of Air with the sadness at the end, music-9-I've heard the ost and it's very good (Dango, dango.......), characters-8.5-well developed and beliveable, overall-8.

[FireChick]

I saw most of the movie a half hour ago! I liked it! Youhei was soooo hilarious in this thing! Koko was awesome too! I can't believe it! If KyoAni animated what Kouko did in the movie into the anime then I would've been cracking myself up so bad! I only saw up to..."THAT" part (guess please) because my sister interrupted me and told me to keep my mouth shut.

That would remind me of some guy in a certain series who got his girlfriend in a car accident ending up in a coma for years.
