It’s a time of redemption for Tomoya’s character as he learns to understand his father and accept his role in becoming one. The next couple episodes following it aren’t bad either. Also, episode 18 was really good and by far the best episode in all of Clannad. That is perhaps the most well-written thing about Clannad. Additional props to their relationship never feeling forced or cringey. The shift into adulthood and growth of our main characters’ relationship throughout episodes 9-16 is interesting to see. Something like close friends moving away after graduation and only being able to see them maybe once every few years (or not at all) is one of many reasons the process of growing up feels authentic in this anime/visual novel.

My favorite thing about the series is how much has changed in terms of relationships, and it feels pretty realistic in that aspect. I guess it wouldn’t hurt to start with some positives. While it’s usually not *bad*, it’s very rare that anything interesting is happening. Episodes 1-8 (and episodes 23 & 24) are just the same pandering that Clannad season one did for 24 episodes. By episode 8, I started to realize how often both Clannad seasons have reused the same “this person was dead all along but we won’t reveal it until an episode or two later” trope. Also, the end of episode 6 is just throwing the spaghetti at the wall doing whatever it can to try and evoke some kind of emotion out of the audience. She meets a dead guy that can be seen alive for some unexplained reason then later can no longer be seen for some also unexplained reason. Then episodes 5-6 focuses on a flashback story of one of the most forgettable side characters (who remains just as forgettable afterwards). 1-4 was very unmoving as it features Tomoya and Youhei competing to see who can get angrier at each other. I found the first half of them to be incredibly annoying, and the rest somewhat boring and unnecessary. I won’t spend too much time talking about the first 1/3 of Clannad: After Story because they are just needless slice-of-life episodes. that falls on its head as it tries to pick up its spaghetti off the floor. Instead, I got Clannad 1 tropes for 8 episodes (a show I already didn't like), a decent change of pace for episodes 9-18, and an ending With how hyped up this specific season is, I was expecting some incredibly written plot. I'm surprised how much of this was just following the same formula as Clannad 1. However, the reality is it gets lost in the pasta sauce trying to string together vague explanations at the last minute. One who flawlessly prepares delectable cuisines with seasonings so ripe that it could make one cry. Overall, the show does an amazing job at making you feel a whole range of emotions but also getting you engaged.Ĭlannad: After Story has the reputation of an unrivaled Grandmaster Italian chef. The OST goes so well with all the scenarios we see throughout the show, it's truly beautiful. Not to mention the OST, I can't count the amount of times I've listened to it. Whenever there is a funny scene you laugh, whenever there's a tough moment you cry and whenever they experience joy you also experience it. The way it grasps your attention and pulls you into the show is amazing. By that I mean you feel like you grow up with these kids throughout their high school journey and into adulthood while gaining life lessons to apply to the real world.
It leaves you with a sense of satisfaction but also having grown after completing it. This is hands down one of the best anime's I've ever seen. we see Tomoya and Nagisa go through both individually and together is incredible. There are so many life lessons and deep rooted themes in the show that ultimately make it so hard not to finish it in one sitting.
It's so wholesome and makes you really take a step back and think about life. I don't think I've ever cried so much in my life like I did watching this anime. This anime takes you on an incredible journey and is filled with ups and downs, laughter and heartache. My friend recommended I watch Clannad and Clannad After Story as a slice of life type anime.įrom the first episode of the show I was instantly hooked.
