ADV Films have now announced their Clannad license consists of the 24 episode first TV series.

For more information see the ICv2 report, 'Clannad' Leads ADV Announcements.

Clannad TV torrents have now been removed from AnimeSuki, the Clannad Movie and the second TV series, Clannad ~After Story~, are considered unlicensed.

The first (of six) DVDs is due for release on 21st April 2009. The series will include the 22 TV episodes, the special entitled "Summer Vacation Chapter" and the DVD only "Another World, Tomoyo Chapter" episode.

I knew it will be licensed sooner or later. Better save money for upcoming release. Thanks for the info.

/me rejoices and jumps around the place.

Except for my wallet and credit card. They are terrified, weeping in a corner and embracing each other .

Can't say I wasn't expecting this. XD They better make Kotomi a freaking god voice actress, though.

I can also say with complete certainty that season 2 will be liscenced, eventually. Can't only show 1/2 a story. XD

SeedFreedom · 2008-10-20, 13:29

Awww, while most people are happy about this, im not. There goes my chance to watch it.

EDIT: After story isn't included? OK, i can still finish.

Takuto19 · 2008-10-20, 13:29

Awesome, gonna get these on release date rather than wait like i did with Kanon and that was a mess heh, alot easier for me over in the UK to get them from Amazon.

phishn37 · 2008-10-20, 13:57

I'm actually a little surprised it took this long...
But, either way, I'm definitely planning on buying this one.

Jigsy · 2008-10-20, 14:38

Why do I have a feeling that the dubs will be terrible?

Proto · 2008-10-20, 14:49

Why does it actually matter that much whether the dubs will be good or bad, when this is a subbing community and most of us will be watching it via the dvd subs anyway?

Tyabann · 2008-10-20, 15:41

My only issue with DVD subs is the translation...

Of course, unlike Haruhi, this show doesn't use a lot of in-verse jargon, so subs should be relatively the same as the fan translations.

Oh, and Sunohara better be voiced by Vic Mignogna. That would be awesome.

Well, I don't think it will. I've just finished the Kanon dub recently and I was definitely very happy with it, and I hope they get the same director (Kyle Jones) for Clannad. I've got a bit of a stronger attachment to the Japanese VA's with Clannad, but I'm still really excited about Clannad getting a dub.

I'm really excited about the license in general, actually. Nice that it's finally happening, and just as I'm getting into more Clannad with After Story. I think, provided ADV gets the first series out without any problems, that the licensing of After Story will be a sure thing eventually. Looking forward to owning it all.

Some people do like to watch both. I tend to anticipate watching dubs of series that I've previously seen fansubbed. That's the great thing about bilingual DVD's - don't like one track, then you can ignore it, and if you like both, then it's even more fun.

Vegard Aune · 2008-10-21, 06:28

Well, this had been announced at a random con a few weeks back, so I'm not surprised, but at least now, we FINALLY have some official, undeniable proof. I, for one, am totally gonna buy the DVDs, as ADV did a great job with Air, and from what I heard, Kanon was done really well too, though I can't say for sure, as I didn't have time to buy the singles before ADV lost the rights. Anyway, I can't wait to see the show the way it's supposed to be, seeing how all the TV-broadcasts were flawed in one way or another.

MeoTwister5 · 2008-10-21, 09:30

They haven't announced pricing yet have they?

I imagine that it will be similar to what Kanon was priced at...

Hedd · 2008-10-22, 09:58

Hopefully it'll get sold as a box set, I mean really. It's more market friendly.

Jimmy C · 2008-10-22, 12:24

If it's boxed set only, you wouldn't see anything until late 2009, at least. But then, you'd get all of it at the time, so...

cyberdemon · 2008-10-22, 13:04

anyone have any speculations as to who they will use for each characters dubbing?

Leo_Otaku · 2008-10-22, 15:07

Please no Vic I wnna punch that guy so hard in the face. I agree the translations fans provide I find are supieror than the ones that are on licensed versions. When watching Kanon I even noticed odd translations. It is also too bad that they don't have the quality of japanese DVD releases with goodies and pacaking. I own R1 and R2 air because the japanese ones are much more beautiful.

They just shouldn't realease a dub track IMO and release it as a big set.

Tyabann · 2008-10-22, 17:14

Vic is awesome. Play Persona 3.

And not all DVD subs are really that bad. The only one that really sticks out in my mind was Haruhi's, which uses a completely different translation than the actual dub did...
