Unlike other anime's where on which just something happens out of nowhere.Clannad trully brings the viewer a different and a more happy prospect of life. It is not some series where each story reaches a happy ending. But a mixture of joy,family,romance and like i said a slice of life. The first series though was very common but nevertherless each story is touching and some maybe, tells you a lesson afterwards. Though some stories are quite a bit weird and mysterious like the Fuko story, but still it somehow brings tears at the end. However the second series "after life" was way better than the first season "for me". because in this season it makes you realize the importance of friendship, family and love. Trully remarkable.(how i wish someone would give me more lists of an anime with a good story.)..CLANNAD FOR LIFE :O .. i would like to see more animes like this one.

absolutely fantastic! i luv it ! its so heartfelt and full of emotions. the story was funny and sad which makes a great anime series that just sucks you in. the music was also good. the characters were each unique in their own way and all has good personalities that i enjoyed watching. the animation was good too! the animation was quite good and it complements the storyline as well. overall this anime is just beautiful and funny and anyone who watches it will probably get sucked into it.

I love Clannad. It is one of my favorite animes because of the thing Nagisa has going with *damn, whats his name?!* well, i thought his name was Tomoya, but i dont think so. I love everything except the part in the storyline with the girl and her starfish carving. I thought that was really wierd. But it is really touching how NAgisa wants to help her. I havent seen more than 20 minutes of the movie, but that was probably good too. I LOVE CLANNAD!!

An anime that has excellent presentation is a memorable combination of solid art and visual detail, a complex storyline that requires careful direction, and a steadfast pair of voice acting and musical composition. Even if you have not played the game itself, the TV adaptation of Clannad would be a nice substitute, because in my book, it has all the qualities of excellent presentation.
Kyoto Animation did, as always, a superb job directing each path of the game into the show, and all the members, including Kazumi Ikeda and Fumihiko Shimo, who directed the story plot and the animation, respectively, have made it their intention to raise the bar once again after the success of their prior works. With an all-star cast, a winning soundtrack, and another potent art/story blend that pays deep respect to all the paths of the game, they are well on their way.
Clannad is a show that will make you think a lot about the value of life, and after watching the first episode, you will want to see the next one, and the one after that. Those who have played the game will want to see how the TV adaptation compares to the game. And those who haven't are in for a complete treat of the entire concept of the game without any corners cut. It's something that a lot of people will enjoy. I recommend it.

In every walk of life, a single path diverges and at the same time different paths converge without anyone noticing, You'll eventually realize it once you're standing on it. That is how Tomoya's life brings him from a state of void and nothingness until he meets a girl that would change his perception of existence to something meaningful and full of life. Together with his newly found friend, he steps forward as he expands his wings to what life really means.

Clannad is a multifaceted anime that brings out some of human life's most complex nature portrayed in simple yet fascinating events occurring everyday in a student's life. It may not seem evident at first, but as the title itself which is derived from the Irish-Gaelic term "Clann" loosely associated to "family", the story touches this theme and its depiction as an influence in the intricate social trait of a person. Clannad also delves deeper to the season of "spring" (which is, personally, my favorite season) as it emphasizes growth, rebirth, and renewal. Aside from the story rooting to its serious premise, Clannad shares the lighter aspects of fancy humor and some weird fantasy elements those contributing to the appeal of the story as well as the characters. As one episode ends and another starts to roll, it gives a storybook approach on how little by little this series unfolds.

clannad is a great anime, totally worth a watch it has a fine touch of romance, comedy, and drama. maybe even a bit of tragedy. You may even find yourslf crying at certain points of this anime. the drama is very realistic, and words just cant describe what you will feel when the tears really do start falling down. X]] i rate it 5 stars!!

This is a list of characters from the visual novel, manga, and anime series Clannad. The main character is Tomoya Okazaki, a male student who became a delinquent after a fight with his father that dislocated his arm. There are five heroines in this story, starting from Nagisa, an insecure girl who wants to re-establish the long disbanded theatre club. The next is Kyou Fujibayashi, a girl from another class who has bad attitude. The third heroine is Kotomi Ichinose, a quiet, but strange girl who is found almost everyday in the library alone during school hours. The fourth heroine is Fuko Ibuki, a childish but antisocial girl who carves wooden starfish to distribute to others as a present, inviting them to her sister's wedding. The last heroine is Tomoyo Sakagami, a former delinquent who wants to be the student council president.

Secondary characters have their own path too, and act as supporting characters who further the story. One of the secondary characters is Yukine Miyazawa, a second year student who hangs around in the library's reference room during lunchtime. Ryou Fujibayashi, a class representative of Tomoya's class, twin-sister of Kyou, and a keen fortune-teller. Misae Sagara, who is the landlady of Youhei's dormitory. Kouko Ibuki who is Fuko's older sister, and she is kind with people. Youhei Sunohara, who is Tomoya's friend, and fellow delinquent; he becomes a delinquent after getting kicked out of the soccer club. Mei Sunohara, who is Youhei's younger sister, and worries about Youhei's condition. Akio Furukawa, Nagisa's father, is bad-mouthed and rough, but is actually kind and sympathetic. He operates the Furukawa bakery along with Sanae Furukawa, Nagisa's mother, who is childish and a crybaby, but is dependable and strong-willed when needed; she creates breads that are anything but edible. Toshio Koumura, a former homeroom teacher of Tomoya and Youhei. Yusuke Yoshino, an electrician who works for the sake of love of the city. Kappei Hiiragi, a mysterious nineteen-year-old young man who is traveling around. Naoyuki Okazaki, Tomoya's father, who Tomoya had distance with after a quarrel that injures his arm. There are also secondary characters that appears only in the After Story. Ushio Okazaki, Tomoya and Nagisa's daughter, and Shino Okazaki, Tomoya's grandmother on his father's side.

Clannad is your average love story between two high school students. (with a few extras)



Tomoya Okazaki is a high school delinquent who has no real hope for his future, and honestly doesn't give a damn. His father has been a heavy drinker ever since he was young, and never had many good human relations. On his first day of his third year of high school, he encounters a girl who he will soon (and obviously) fall in love with, named Nagisa Furukawa

Furukawa is a shy and kind-hearted girl, who is repeating her senior year. She and Okazaki team up, to try and revive the drama club.

The story kicks in... well... It's hard to really name the story. Clannad is one of those anime that follows the story of one character at a time, until the episodes reach an end. Clannad is also a hilarious comedy. Especially the scenes with Youhei Sunohara. None the less, Clannad is a touching anime that is beautifully animated and each character is beautifully crafted. Especially the almost dead girl, Fuko Ibuki, who you will most likely, completely fall in love with.



4/5
