Kyoto Animation is the producer again. The stories have the same positive feeling about them, the art is amazing in both, and each Character is unique.
Same characters, same Animation Studio, same voices, same story...You can't miss this!
The two main characters are very similar in their sarcastic tone. The story surrounds the main male lead's interaction with the girls around him.
Same company made both with very similar elements such as the theme music. Both have very good storylines that are totally individual to the character no matter how random it is.
The same studio, similiar main characters, many cute girls, both are fantastic.
The shows are both very similar in the fact that parts of the stories mirror each other as well as similar main character in similar situation
Well, it has the same productionstudio, same kind of animation and style. Even the music sounds the same (what is great). And if you like the mysterious style of Clannad, you sure will in Kanon (2006). Clannad actually "steals" the same type of jokes from Kanon, so you can't go wrong with both ^^
From watching the first few episodes it is obvious to notice several similarities between the 2 shows and I'm not just talking about the production studio. ^_^
its made by the same people, and has the same sort of effect-like you could go back and watch it hundreds of times.
Both by the same company. As tory of loyalty and love, both animes are about the school life of high school students. There are different arcs for different characters and you'll see the sad and happy parts of each person's life
Very Similar. It's Actually Made By The Same People. That's Why It's So Good.
:-)
Both Produced by the prestigious developer KEY and the renowned animation Studio Kyoto Animation. Its something you DONT wanna miss (:
The quality and cohesiveness of how the story all goes together. The slight, but perfectly witty and timed humor from the male protagonist is present in both. Both also have the perfect mix of humor and drama.
Kanon 2006 is the second of the Key/Kyoto series and later followed by Clannad
because some of the characters are the same like
fuko and aya
Made by the same company, aniamted in the same style and basically a pretty similar plot-line, Clannad and Kanon are very much alike and yet both so awfully enjoyable. The classic elements and humour you saw in Kanon (2006) are all present in Clannad, if not more so.
Like many others say, it is made by the same people. It has the same sort of sarcastic main character that has a different sort of relationship with numerous girls. However, unlike many other animes, these are clean fun that aren't loaded down with fan service and ecchi.
They both seem to have the same story plot, a boy surrounded by girls.
its also made by the same creator "Key"
Well, they are similar to a very high degree that there are almost the same.
I really enjoyed Clannad and I enjoyed Kanon (2006) even more! Kyoto Animation works its magic in both of these romance / drama anime. Clannad and Kanon were both written by Key, and were video games before anime. They both have really intriguing plots and the animation is amazing and close to flawless! I was brought to tears by both of these shows. There are really moving scenes, and also scenes where you find yourself smiling from ear to ear or even laughing! I strongly recommend Kanon (2006) if you liked Clannad!
same company, have similar characteristics...
Same original visual novel studio (key), same animation studio (Kyoani)
Agree with all the others here. CLANNAD is a revisiting of the themes in Kanon, so watch that one first.
It is a very similar plot as are all made by Key a harem type anime where a boy helps out a bunch of girls
Same creators, similar story, similar characters, similar music... The two series are almost exactly the same, so if you liked one of them, you'd propably enjoy the other one too.
Clannad and Kanon 2006 belong to the same creator and they share a story, art and very similar characters.
Same maker, very similar, two great animes.
Both animes are made by the same company. These two series' have lovely art and story lines, filled with romance, drama, and comedy. Both involve a male lead who befriends a couple girls and learns more about them.
Clannad and Kanon have a similar kind of Tragedy element, where Kanon is slightly stronger in Tragedy, and Clannad has a stronger Commedy/Romance feel.
They'll both make you cry and if you love one, you'll like (or love) the other.
Both Animes are centered around a male lead and many females. They are also Key + KyoAni, which pretty much means they both have amazing animations.
The stories are a little bit similar. They have the same positive feeling about them, the art is also amazing. They both are kinds like miracle happens. Really Beutifull story.
The third anime provided by Key Studios portraying great animation as always by Kyoto Animation Studios. Well-liked characters from Kanon06 can certainly be found in Clannad as well.
Both stories are originally done by Key, and both are of the romance genre. Both Kanon and CLANNAD are highly dramatic, and considering the many similarities between both stories, a fan of CLANNAD would definitely love Kanon (2006).
Both were adapted from visual novels by Key and animated by the same studio - Kyoto Animation.
They're boh visual novels by Key and were adapted by Kyoto Animation. The storylines are quite similar. They both involve a male protagonist who helps different young girls he befriends throughout the series.
Same art style and character personalities and plots are similar like a girl disappear in both. Super drama is how I define these two. The main characters like to be funny and joke around.
The characters are really similar by nature; Yuuichi and Tomoya are both pretty sarcastic and there is plenty of girls around him. Also girls resembles each others on strange ways. Also the animation is done by the same studio. And both animes have "snow opening".
Same as Clannad, But a little more focused on the comedy side, If you liked Clannad, you will sure like Kanon
It is made from the same people, and they are similar ind that the genre is the same.
Made by KyoAni, have similar feeling to them
Both adaptions of Key visual novels by the ever so capable Kyoto Animation. The girls are pretty similar and the male leads are both incredibly sarcastic.
Produced by the same people, Clannad and Kanon are really similar. They both have a lot of girls, a little bit of supernatural, and the atmosphere of the anime is really calm.
Very similar drawing style. The behaviour of both main chars are also so similar, that I imagined it's a story about one person in two different dimensions.
They are both about the past and about characters who are a lot the same. People hiding their past and trying to make friends.
These anime have a very similar feeling to them. I watched Clannad before Kanon 2006 and when I watched Kanon 2006 I felt the same way as I had with Clannad.
Yes, if you like one of these, you will like the other.
If you liked Clannad, you will like Kannon 2006, give it a try, i wont say anything more
Characters, story and much more.
The greats Key/ Visual Art's works!
Same people did this. Same good art, lovable characters, heart wrenching moments. A little more action and a lot less tears, but overall good series if you liked Clannad.
First off, they're both made by Key. That right there is a plus. Both anime revolve around a young man surrounded by girls, they both have many teary moments, and they both easily make you laugh. The art style is somewhat similar, and you're pretty much guaranteed to find a character you'll end up favoriting. They also both have a few magical elements added into the mix.
well it is made from the same company and the story line is almost the same
The stories have the same positive feeling about them, and each Character is unique.
Same studio and if you watched the one you really have to watch the other.
Both are romances with a little bit of fantasy in them but it doesn't ruin the story itself even if you don't like fantasy =]
both have a kind boy around some girls and thay are nade bay kyoto animation
Yuuichi = Tomoya; the same mangaka, both have very similar style.
Kanon and Clannad may seem to have come out of the same mold. Truth is, they have - there are many similarities between the two. They are both excellent nonetheless and you should watch BOTH.
Trust me on this one, I was a bit skeptical on whether I should Kanon if I've already finished watching Clannad or which one I should watch first but in reality, it doesn't matter. Chances are if you liked one of these two animes you will like the other one just as much.
Almost the same anime as the other. x)
Made by same producer. Comedy, school, slice of life romances which have one main male characters and a lots of different girls around him.
Both feature a male protagonist meeting different females who have weird quirks
In Kanon Ayu says "uguu" a lot
In Air Misuzu says "gao" a lot
In Clannad Nagisa is obsessed with the dango song
They have similar art and music and will both make you CRY!
Same genres
They're both about love and drama in daily life. Also, they're both rather sad.
5 cute girls 1 guy and a lot of emotions.
There both high school harems with great music and sarcastic main characters.
they both have lots of romances and drama and if u like this kinds of thing i think you should watch them for sure. these or two of the best drama anime iv ever seen so far and the best anime to hope i find more like these soon.
Kanon is, in my book, a must if you're into the comedy, romance & supernatural genres as in Clannad & Afterstory.
Both are created by Key and animated by KyoAni.
There's a positive and happy foreground, but the backgrounds of each character are very deep. Many arcs focus on the main characters, further developing them, and continuing the overall plot.
Similar atmosphere and characters in both animes.
Storyline is a bit different but only a bit and your feelings when you are watching them are very similar.
Both of them are very emotional stories with a bit of harem: a boy who is friend of several girls and helps them a lot.
I really think that if you liked one of them, you'll definitely have to watch the another one. And if you like high-school stories with romance, fantasy, a bit of mistery, a bit of harem... (and very emotional stories), you should watch both of them.
oriented towards a school as the backdrop to an engaging plot, if you are a sap/ sucker like myself, this could be a potential tear jerker
Honestly, these things are the same damn show, with many similar characters, absurd amounts of moe, and the main difference is that Clannad has a lot more jokes than Kanon, yet you know you're going to love both just as much.
Made by the same company. Kanon and Clannad both have their good parts but ultimately Clannad beats Kanon and shows why the company Key is awesome.
Kanon and Clannad are made by the same people and are similar in the slice of life theory. You'll enjoy it as much as Clannad
Both are very similar, after all, they are made by the same company. The difference: Kanon has a huge moe factor, as many of the characters have a cute catch phrase they repeat (Uguu~!). Kanon also has more of a mystical element, while Clannad is pretty realistic (though, there are mystic elements too in the form of ancient Japanese folklore).
Both were originally developed as a Visual Novel by key. In addition, the anime version of each one contains a exceptional combination of Drama, Romance and bit of comedy.
Aside from both being created by Key, Kanon and Clannad both are herems centered around a kind-hearted guy who helps one girl after another. Both of these animes are very comical at points, but also have their sensitive moments. There are points at where you're completely appalled by what you have found out and leaves you asking and wanting more.
Both are great visual novel adaptations by Key (you should consider checking them out if you liked either of these!) which revolve around a likable and clever protagonist helping out a bunch of girls. Each of them have a good deal of drama, as well as some great comedy. Kanon and Clannad each have supernatural elements, and many of the characters are quite similar, although to go into their similarities would spoil it. They're both very good, but the second season of Clannad sweeps them both away.
same genre. Also has some same problems as Kanon
Same studio and same theme , 5 girls 1 boy, comedy and sad moments
Same producers - namely KyoAni, and they both have the same vibe. They share a lot of similarities, everything from a guy helping girls with various things, to love and the emotions they bring out.
To cut it short - if you liked Kanon, then you will definitely like Clannad.
Same creators and both anime are very sad Uguu~~
Same producer and they're both EPIC.
also about a boy who finds himself in a mystery with several girls
Same creator, studio, and a plot eerily similar to each other. You could pretty much substitute the characters back and forth and you wouldn't notice much of a difference. The biggest difference I would say is the higher art quality in Clannad, as well as a more serious aspect to Kanon. Clannad uses comedy throughout the series to great effect, which Kanon also uses, however to a much lesser extent. Both are great series, and if you liked one, you'll like the other.
Both have crisp animation and art style characteristic to Key. You'll find cute characters like Ayu, Fuko, Nagisa, Nayuki, Shiori, Kotomi, Kyou and many more in both of these, one of which you are bound to like, and eventually get to love. These two animes have that specific heartwarming style of storytelling. If you've watched one of these, it is crucial that you do not miss the other.
-Self-narrative protagonists
-Each girl receives her own arc
-Animes adapted from creations by KEY
-Drama, romance, comedy, bromance, school life, all along with supernatural tones
same company. both use elements of "miracles" in their stories. both have 5 girls protagonists, and many are actually very similar - Ayu = Fuko, Mai = Tomoyo (maybe), etc.
Both are almost harem, where in the beginning, the male lead has connections with every girl, and in the end chooses one. However, I would say that Kanon is sadder in general while Clannad is mostly happy (until after story anyways)
Basically the Same Anime, They Are So close Its Ridiculous.
Both Centre Around A Nice Guys Who Cant Help But Help Females Out With their Problems, Which Causes them To Swarm to Him Like Flys, Both Under A Harem Fantasy Category To.
Both is made by kyoani, both is made by key, both is tear jerk, both have an amazing story line.
The story evolves between one guy a few girls in High School which is similar to Clannad. Both of them has supernaturals in them. Also they both has a spirit of a young looking kid which claims to be in the same grade as the main character. Both of them has a lot of very similar characters. Therefore, if you love one of the anime, you will love the other. But the Most important thing of all, is that both of them has the same creator
Both are dramatic harem from the same director.
Both whare Created By Key so both of them are awsome. If you like Clannad, u will defenetly life Kanon 2006 aswell
Both series show us very good story. Watching both series will cause a lot of tears in our eyes;)
I was recommended to watch Kanon after Clannad by a friend, and I can see why. Both animes are from Visual Arts/Key, they are similarly animated and they have their own very interesting stories to tell about the citizens of a town. Who knew a little magic, some storytelling and interesting characters could make such great animes?
These 2 animes are both made by the same company (key visual arts) the story line is similar it takes place with another guy surronded by girls but is bad at school and is always in trouble one day he meets a girl called nagisa on his way to school which starts to change his approach to school and life and caring throughout the series the main protagonist tomoya helps other friends to gain orbs for the future the orbs he gets will help for season 2 now you will have to watch this first to go on to season 2 the after story
Both series are masterpieces and emotion-packed moments. You should expect some tissues if you are very sensitive. The achievement is of great beauty. In the two series you will follow the adventures of a boy who will create strong bonds of friendship and maybe more ... Expect to spend a great time watching these animes simple and refreshing. (Sorry for my English)
Same type of story. In first few episodes, the main male character gets to know many female characters, and later on in the series, tragic events happen with a few episodes dedicated to each female character.
Both are very touching and emotional stories. Make sure you get some tissues before watching them. =)
Both anime series are extremely similar. From art-style, animation, and character design to the involvement of somewhat magical elements, storyline, and events. If you enjoyed either Clannad or Kanon, you'll definitely enjoy the other.
Both have very similar art.
same creator, you get the same feeling from both, kyoani does both, so animation is amazing
Both are very touching and emotional stories.
Incredulously similar and both involving very good characters where the ending is a happy ending for everyone
Both anime involves a guy who helps others while at the same time dealing with his own, although 1 deals with slight memory loss and the other dealing with family issues. Both created and produced by the same people
As if the 104 other recommendations to Kanon weren't enough, I felt as if I had to add to the rec pile since a lot of people I know who have watched Clannad have slipped by Kanon (2006).
The first thing I'd like to say is that I don't believe Kanon was inferior to the first season of Clannad in any way shape or form, despite a lot of people who say so. The only disadvantage that Kanon had to the Clannad series was its length, which didn't include the "After Story" portion and didn't give Kanon the opportunity to add further depth to its story.
Clannad and Kanon involve a harem-like setting, while at the same time not really presenting itself as a typical harem. This is mainly evident through their protagonists - witty, grounded, and a bit sarcastic (they both remind me of Kyon from Haruhi; a type of character that's always fun to watch). Also, it's really difficult to hate any of the characters in Clannad and Kanon. They may be fairly moe, but they're believable and all likeable.
Essentially, the plots of the two anime revolve around a main character helping various girls in a highschool/small town setting. Don't let my lacklustre synopsis fool you though, the storylines are deep and rewarding that give you indescribable feelings of joy and sadness (sometimes, at the same time). These plots are supported by a pretty fantastic job on art, drawn by the same studio.
One thing I would NOT recommend is watching these two anime back to back. While they are both fantastic, it'd probably be best to recover from the emotional shellshock of watching Clannad/Kanon before watching the other. Seeing any two Kyoto anime back to back is like going back in time, and it'd be crazy to watch them back to back (trust me on this, you'll enjoy both of them way more).
Thanks for the read, and enjoy!
Riotnoob.
Kanon has that cute, funny, serious, supernatural and mysterious feel to it as did Clannad. It doesn't go as deep as Clannad though, but it will give you around the same feeling.
made by the same makers. kind of the same principe. one guy and multiple girls who all had a rough past.. and alot of romance in both..
Because they are both have a main boy character that doesn't like school or doesn't have meaning to their lives. Characters in the shows are simular, they both have deaths. They are both funny and sad, and i recemand watching both.
Both series follow the same basic structure, with the main male character helping a cast of female characters with their problems. Each arc starts out funny and lighthearted, but slowly turn into very sad stories.
Well, both stories are done by the same visual novel company, Key. They are essentially set up in the same harem (1 boy and 5 girls) format. But unlike typical harem, both anime actually have plot involving these characters and the story makes sense.
Despite what I said previously, these two anime are actually quite different in some aspects in that Clannad is a intense tear jerker, while Kanon has more plot twist and mind-blowing revelations.
The main theme is about friendship and family. The artwork is very similar, there are story arcs and you'll love the characters.
Both series are made by Kyoto Animation and are both Key novel adaptations.
The main character has similar interactions between the characters, and the animations look almost identical.
Both these Anime give a heart-warming cry when something tragic happens. Both Male Protagonist will have friends on their side when going through tough times. When they see the truth, they can't take it and refuse to accept the fact. There life is dealt with in school, but Kanon deals with more supernatural stuff. The Romance in both happen in different occasions in the show. ENJOY :)
Clannad is made by the same company "key" so the quality with be almost the same. and who know's you may see a cameo appearance :)
Both anime were made by Key and have an amazing storyline with awesome soundtracks. Kanon (2006) bases more around the memory loss of a character during its character development, but it is a very moving anime just like Clannad. If you liked one, you'll most likely like the other!
Both of these harem series are game conversions from 'Key', animated by 'KyoAni'. As such both series are very very pretty and extremely well-produced.
Clannad and Kanon center around a male high school student (Yuichi in Kanon, Tomoya in Clannad). They are similar in personality: both are quite sarcastic and at times, obnoxious, towards the girls they are surrounded with. There is also a female in each that is the main love interest for the male (Ayu in Kanon, Nagisa in Clannad); they are similar in character design and influence on the male. The plots are also similar; each has a number of arcs related to the girls' stories and how they affect the males' lives.
In short, both of these series are quite similar, and surely if you liked one you would like the other. If nothing else they are beautifully produced and a joy to watch.
Same plot, Kanon has more fantasy in it
You´ll definitely experience a similar feeling while watching this show. It has the same kind of emotional, tragic, funny and above all, touching story/atmosphere.
If you cried during either one of them, chances are good that you will as well during the other one.
All in all, i couldn´t recommend watching this show more, if you liked the other one.
Kyoto Animation ftw ^^

Yeah I would recommend Air if you like this anime :D
I finished Air not too long ago and loved it!
Made by the same people :P
Kyoto Animation also made an adaptation of the Clannad visual novel made by Visual arts/Key.

Same creator, and similar story.
Cute Anime from Key Studio..

Both anime focus on a guy that doesn't know what to do with himself, and instead starts to help a girl fufilling her dreams. Also, the animations are quite alike, as they're both based on a visual novel by Key.
Both are pretty slow-moving and capture the spirit of summer. In both, a male character helps out a female character who is weak.
Both are Beutiful Stories. You'll understand that after time you'll have the same Feeling.
Both anime made the same creators and atmosphere is the same. Both stories are about young male character, who helps weak girl making her dreams to come true.

They are made from the same company. And they have same styles
Though AIR is more of a tear jerker than Clannad, they have similar mix of drama, romance and comedy.
Where Clannad is (in my opinion) the better of the two both shows have a similar feel to them and the lead characters are very similar to one another.
They are both by the same company so they are to have many similarites they both have romance that sways off from time to time and girls who all seem to have some sort of relationship with the main character who ends up falling in love with one of them there other similarities now go find out for yourself :)
Both sad and touching.I love Clannad more than Air though.
Apart of having been created by the same studio, they both focus on "family", and how important this family is throughout your life.
One male main characters and harem around him. Every girl has a different story but in the end he only choses one. Both of them are great stories produced by Key

Same genres
A love story between daughter and mother brought to a tear jerking end in this fantastic series
Both are created by Key and animated by KyoAni.
The worlds of both anime seem normal but they really aren't. Hidden forces affect the worlds. Characters give off a very happy feel, but their pasts are full of hardships. Each arc within both series focus on each character and further develop each characters and the overall plot.
both have the same feel to them they are both a little on the dark side but the story really shines.
The music is very similar. Both series evoke many different emotions. You feel for the characters.
Both Clannad and Air are created by Key. These animes involve a guy who meets a girl and ends up helping her. Eventually, these same guys end up meeting more girls and, being as kind-hearted as they are, help them out, as well. Both of these animes leave you wanting more.
Both feature moe characters in a harem type setting
Made by the same company, and it's great if you love sad stories.
Same creators and both anime are very sad.
these two have a LOT of similarity, and they are made by the same people
-the main guy and girl both have an age difference AND a height difference
-the guy helps other girl who have problems and sorta brings them together
-both have a supernatural part to its plot.
-both main guys are kinda "alone"
-both main girls are clumsy and weird, but you can't help being friends and liking them. the 2 main girls are also very "fragile"
-Each girl receives her own arc
-Animes adapted from creations by KEY
-Drama, romance, comedy, bromance, school life, all along with supernatural tones
Both Air and Clannad involves a group of girls that revolves around a boy. Both give off the same feeling of sadness, but also include some funny parts. In both, the male protagonist is constantly trying to help those around him, especially the main female protagonist, who in both shows bouts of illness. Both are cute anime's, with sadness, slice-of-life, comedy, and romance. =)
Both anime can be seen here: http://www.myanimelinks.com/
=)
-Childish, weak [weak as in physically] female leads (Nagisa....Misuzu)

-KEY works
both based on Key's visual novels and included philosophicals moments.
Both anime series are extremely similar. From art-style, animation, and character design to the involvement of somewhat magical elements, storyline, and events. If you enjoyed either Clannad or Air, you'll definitely enjoy the other
Same producers, beautiful love stories in each
Comedy, Romance, LOTS AND LOTS OF *** DRAMA ***
They both Have the AMAZING Singer Lia for their Theme song and or Most of their songs.
They both Contain ALOT OF DRAMA soo if your a fan of that i suggest you aleast check them out!!!!!!!
Very alike in drawings, personality, and others
Main characters both very similar,
Both amazing anime's
Clannad however IMO is far better
While Kanon (2006) is more similar in it's Harem aspects to Clannad, Air is very thematically similar to Clannad in that it focuses very much on family. In my opinion, Air did a much better job at presenting themes of family than Clannad did so if you liked that aspect of Clannad, you'll love Air :)
There both about this guy trying to find a place in the world. They both meet a girl who changes their life around.
They are created by the same company - Key. They both have the same art style, as well. The anime is harem based, although there isn't a harem. There are also Arcs for the different female characters. The male roles are both looking for something.
Air TV and Clannad undoubtedly have similar styles. These Kyoto Animation productions have extraordinary artwork. Both series begin quite nicely but there's more to them than meets the eye. In addition, there seems to be an overrepresentation of "Moe" factors; the casts of characters have comparable personalities (I'm not saying they're the same). The main characters are quite indifferent to life, while the main girl is clumsy and naive.
Both are centered around a certain boy who encounters several certain girls, all of which are made out to seem like romantic interests. However, in both there is one of these romantic interests that has problems keeping her from making or retaining friends, prompting this certain boy to take care of her. As well as similarities in plot, they have some similarities in message, and both are wonderfully deep and touching.

Jun Maeda is the writer of Air, Clannad, Kanon and finally Angel Beats!
Drama has similar fell and has same over the top comedy relieves. Both has great animation and music has been done by same composer.
Both are fairly emotional anime, however Angel Beats tends to focus more on humor, while Clannad will tug at your heart strings and make you teary eyed.
same heart touching story by the same writer jun maeda
Both stories have alternative worlds, clubs, some fighting in between but most importantly it focuse on emotions same way as Angel Beats. Almost each character has some kind of problems or regrets and is trying to overcome them. And we have a main character Tomoya who also tries to help his friends.
Both by Key. Both are masterpieces by Key. If you liked Angel Beats then if you haven't watched Clannad, then better watch it now!!
Both have similiar characters (kotomi-kanade (they are just the same!), yuri-kyou (they are strong), otonashi-okasaki (they're similiar in EVERYTHING), yui-mei (soooo funny), shiina-fuko (love cute things), hatsune-nagisa (sweet and sick), noda/hinata-sunohara (they are bastads). And both make the people cry!
But funny and sad, and about life, and made by the same company. Both animes with give the viewer an emotional reaction ;3;
Both made by Jun Maeda. Has some situations similar to each other(i.e. Tomoya and Nagisa helping Fuuko; Yazuru and Kanade helping Yui) and both managed to make me cry.
if you, like me, love an anime that makes you cry even how much you think: "an anime ain't going to make me cry". it'll touche your soul in a different way, and you'll have to review the animescores and tune the others down ^_^
Angel Beats! and Clannad are anime that do a great job of being dramatic and emotional while still being very funny. Both of them also feature amazing, and kinda similar animation and character designs. While watching each series the viewer is drawn into the lives of the characters themselves that are trying to fight the imperfections that exist in each of their worlds and strive to overcome the obstacles standing in their paths. They find love as well as friendship and experience loads of dramatic moments that will leave you wanting for more in the end. If you liked watching one of them I highly recommend trying out the other.
they are both sad. but i like angel beats better. And they are both so damn funny!
Not only are they dubbed by the same studio but there are very similar elements of both shows that will make you think of the other while watching one.
Both are by Key, have good humour in them, and will make you cry. ^^
Although the emotional train is not as strong as it is in Clannad, Angel Beats still manages to deliver a heart-warming and tear-jerking story as everything unfolds.
Other simpler similarities between the two are the fact that they are both made by Key, and that Lia has sung an intro for both of them (Although in Clannad's case, it's After Story's intro).
If you loved Clannad, then you'll surely grow to love, if not, like Angel Beats to an extent.
Heart-rending and full of emotion, that can rival that of Clannad's!!
If anything, it can not go unwatched.
Story line is just amazing, Had me almost crying in it.
These were both made by Key. Also, these anime really move your feelings around. I loved them both and i am happy with the endings.
Keys Studios is the developer of both Clannad and Angel Beats. Clannad is well known and has a large fan base, but Angel Beats, being newer, is still on the rise. The story is great, surpassing Clannad in some aspects, and definitely deserves more attention. It is should easily make the top 30 anime list.
Both anime focus on a group of friends. The main male character in both anime are very similar personality-wise. They use the same English voice actors for both anime. Both are tearjerkers.
Clannad and AngelBeats are by the same creator. Also both is funny and has interesting character!
If you became emotionally involved in the Clannad storyline and enjoyed it, then you'll probably enjoy Angel Beats! as well. And vice versa. They're very similar in the respect that both have character development/interaction as a key selling point. Also, I should note that both are truly touching stories that will have you really feeling happy or sad for the characters. I definitely recommend both of these for any type of anime lover that hasn't seen either of them. :)
First off, both are works created by Key. Secondly, both series conveys emotions mixed in with comedy that has potential to bring viewers to tears. There are some confusing story plots that may seem confusing (the randomness of Angel Beats, the "illusion world of Clannad) but it all fits into a puzzle once you watch it. There are also romance (less so in Angel Beats) but overall, both of these series are something to look out for especially if you're a fan of Key's other works.
Both anime are made by the same company. Both anime are ridiculously addictive and moving and makes you feel for the characters.
Both will make you laugh out loud and then cry in the corner.
both were a really tear jerking story. this is what a true love story is about.
The are really alike. It's both really sad but really touching and beautiful. In the English version the also have the same voices.
Both anime involves a guy helpin out a chick with a club
although in Angel beats its a club of supposed dead people
both anime are quite-light hearted with a few serious moments
both are romance/dramas
The plot of both these anime is very different. Though the writing and general feel is very similar, as both were written by the same person. (Jun Maeda). Angel Beats and Clannad both have a seamless combination of humor and drama. One second you'll be laughing your ass off, the next you'll be crying manly (or regular) tears. It is worth noting however that Clannad is more fleshed out than Angel Beats, with a greater emphasis on side characters. But that shouldn't stop you, if you enjoyed one you're almost certain to enjoy the other.
Both these series are of my absolute favorites! Their story-lines are of tragedy, slice of life, romance and many hilarious moments. I think they are both so worthy to watch. They both consist of many genres which I love in anime- tragedy, slice of life, romance, supernatural and etc. Please check em both out they are very worth your time, HIGHLY recommend!
Same company (Key) behind Clannad, Kanon, and Air. Also shares a few elements with them such as the spiritual realism thing and of course sadness. Funny, addicting, and very sad anime.
The backstory of the characters on both anime are very touching. Last episodes will surely make you cry. Kinda depressing after the endings.
Same type of drama
Afterwords
Sad story mixed with humor
Otonashi=Okazaki lol
Short enough (can be watched in 1 night =^-^=)
This story is originally wrote by the same guy . If you liked clannad you like this. The story is a little hard to get your head around at first but if you pull through the first couple episodes you will see the same comedy and ideals that were in clannad in angel beats! The story will touch you just as clannad did and even make you think about your own life.
Plenty of emotion and if you liked one, I'm sure you'll like the other
They both have a lesson/meaning in their story,also they are from the visual novel brand Key, who produced such titles as Kanon and Air which created their Anime/Manga.
Both are really Emotional and Funny
both English Dub and English Sub are Great in both Clannad and Angel Beats
The way the story tells itself is very simmilar and catchy. If you like one, probably will like the other
Both anime were made by Key and have an amazing storyline with awesome soundtracks. Both have very moving endings and are enough to bring tears to one's eyes. Clannad's first season is more character development and the second season is the emotional heart-wrenching season, as opposed to Angel beats which has a smaller time gap for character development. Both anime start of funny and then get serious. If you like one, you'll most likely like the other!
They are both created by Key. They both have interesting concepts and sharp plot twists. They both make you cry and impact your life in a very strong way.
Now, Clannad really gave me a hard emotional attack. And since I was a little younger back then, the impact on me was absolute. The ending really made up for all the downs in the story, plus the other two arcs which I really enjoyed.
On the other hand, Angel Beats, having new and different types of emotional approach while still maintaining a good sense of originality, exists. The way its story goes indifferently gives quite a shock.
Both have great drama as well as comedy. Good balance, plot, character settings, originality, and impression.
Both emotional and spiritual in that awesome anime-sort-of-way. Just know that Angel Beats! is a lot more insane comedy. :3
Both are by the same author. Both contain a slew of likable characters in a school setting ("school" for Angel Beats), and both will tug at your heartstrings until you're crying the river nile.
They are both by the visual novel brand Key with equally interesting storylines.
Not only are they both created by the same visual arts company, but they both share the common themes of life, death, loss, and pressing on. Angel Beats is beautifully animated with engaging characters and a heartwarming story. Give it a watch.
If you're looking for another heart-warming anime, than Angel Beats is the one for you! It's just as tragic as Clannad, with a fair share of romance as well. With only 13 episodes, it won't take away that much time from you-- and definitely deserves a chance! It's short, sweet, and one of my favorites.

Both are brilliant slice of life high school romcom dramas. It's mainly consisting of comedy (well done comedy) but every so often turn serious and dramatic - pulling heart strings. These can be from issues concerning love or family etc. Both are great watches if you are into romcom high school dramas.
Both are great school romance animes with nice art and characters.
The character development and the drama are pretty similar quality in these two shows. When I watch one, I think of watching the other. Both are excellent series but not for the weak of heart.
Both are Romantic comedies that are as unique as they are excellent.
They're both slice of life and school life anime. But Clannad has a lot more sad moments.
It's all about romance.... the difference is just the main chara...
for those who love romance with some comedy... toradora is what i'd recommend to you!
♫same genres (Comedy, Romance, School, Slice of Life)♫
♫both of these anime feature a main guy character (Tomoya Okazaki and Ryuuji Takasu) who is unhappy with his lot in life and misjudged by the world around him who decides to take care of a girl who seems to be his polar opposite♫
♫both of the main female character (Nagisa Furukawa and Taiga Aisaka) ,although very different characters, both welcome the assistance of their male counterparts and become stronger because of their friendship with him♫
♫both of it are both slice of life style anime that show friends dealing with the problems of everyday life and just enjoying high school♫
♫ both of it are incredible in terms of enjoyment and should be watched by everyone♫
Someone recommended it to me .Although i just started it was nice
Both are in the comedy/romance-but-not-a-harem genre, and seem to have very similar aspects to their plot lines, but Clannad is actually "good".
The storyline is kind of the same.. one guy, a best friend and a lot of girls, they all like him. The story starts as a normal high school life with a little slice of komedie but after a few episodes it turnes out to be a drama.
The only thing that is'nt similiar is the fact that they used a little bit of magic in Clannad and in Toradora! the only piece of magic i found is the magic between the two main characters. ^^
Same type of story. Romance and Humor.
Both include Comedy, Slice of Life and Romance :3
They have male proganoists (Ryuuji in Toradora) + (Tomoya in Clannad) and the "discovering" love story.
Both guys surrounded by some girls but one girl is the main one. And it's not like those other harems where all the girls are not proportioned correctly.. Everyone has nice characters. Also has it's sad moments in Toradora but Cllannad is obviously more sad.
They both 'feel' similar
Both heroes are alike in character
Great supporting casts
Heartwarming stories
Similar male leads and both stories take place in a school setting. Both are great drama series that will make you laugh and cry.
School life, a good mix of comedy and drama. Both contains romance and the importance of family.
they both have similar story lines in terms of boy meets girl and both show a relationship develop over time. ha there could quite literally be an after story of Toradora, that is if they ever decided to make one.
Both have the same kind of humor and the plot is sorta similar (not giving any spoilers away) It's basically school life and romance! :D Give it a try! They are both my favorite animes :3
I can't stress how much I loved both these series. Evoking a diversity of emotions (among them, laughs, hearty smiles, tears, and "aww moments" from cuteness), these unforgettable romantic comedies are the archetypes of their genre. If you enjoyed one, you will most definitely enjoy the other (although I was initially hesitant to try Clannad since it is more "drama heavy", Toradora had its tear jerker moments as well).
Enjoy!
Riotnoob.
Both are love story involving school. They are both great.
Same genre
Similar Relationship
Growing up with the characters.
>Both are good school anime.
>The main male character is considered by the others a villan, but they actually arent.
>Toradora! have an art style really weird, you could both love or hate it (I personally loved it, even if in the first two episodes I was displaced, but when I get used to it I appreciated). In the other hand Clannad's art is awesome.
>They both have funny and painful moments where you will find your tears dropping suddenly.
>The only thing that I didn't "liked" of Toradora! is that you can say how it will end till the very beginning, wich you really can't get in Clannad (by "Clannad" I mean Clannad+Clannad: After Story).
>*SPOILER ALERT*Clannad (in "After Story") is a more "complete" anime, due it touch not only school but even work, wedding and parenting.*END OF THE SPOILER*
>Overall I enjoyed more Clannad, but they are both masterpieces.
Both anime are pretty funny, and sad at times. They are also set in school, and have romance in them.
They are very alike. Both is about a regular highschool student who finds his love on school aswell. Both focuses on slice of life, romance and comedy.
Both of these shows feature a main guy character who is unhappy with his lot in life and misjudged by the world aroud him who decides to take care of a girl who seems to be his polar opposite. Although Taiga and Nagisa are very different characters, they both welcome the assistance of their male counterparts and become stronger because of their friendship with him. They are both slice of life style animes that show friends dealing with the problems of everyday life, and just enjoying high school. Both shows are incredible and should be watched by everyone.

Both are romance harem anime with a guy and five girls and both have a school setting. The main male characters are both similar as well. Shuffle! is more fantasy compared to Clannad's mostly realistic story, with the exception of one mostly supernatural arc.
A guy is surrounded by girls and helps them out with their problems. Also, they both have romance and are school related.
Both have lots of girls that like the protagonist
Shuffle! and Clannad are quite similar school anime.
Similar characters, harem style, drama and comedy parts
If you didn't like the girl Rin/Tomoya choose then watch Clannad/Shuffle!
Because it has the same concept and feeling in the story.
same school life story, 3-4 girls fall in love with 1 guy, and he has to choose one,but the chosen one has a weak body,
although Clannad covers more because of its sequal
-Both animes's setting/story goes by an omnibus format, and have small arcs for each heroine that doesn't diverge from the central plot of the story (with the setting intact)
So similar. The whole harem thing, high school thing and even the girls chosen had similarities. Also both of the main characters best friends were the same! Overall, despite the more supernatural and ecchi Shuffle, these to are really, really similar.
if u watched clannad 1st like i did, then watching this anime will remind you of it, the style and excution of shuffle is virtually exactly the same.
espically around episode 13, when things turn serious.
-Each girl receives her own arc
-Drama, romance, comedy, bromance, school life, all along with supernatural tones
Both start out as a slice of life harem comedy with magical undertone but as the series goes on it takes on dramatic elements.
The story type is very similar to one another. They are both harems.
Just like Shuffle! but better and more emotional
When you like drama then this i something you cant miss.
i have watched both of these and it made my cry a couple of times.
The storyline is awesome, with some twists and turn to keep you interested through the whole serie.
in both series a lot of female characters fall in love with the main male protagonist
I has the basic Harem genre. The main character has to choose between three girl in which eventually he will have to pick the girl he feels the most for and eventually start a life
they are bout loving anime with alot of drama, shuffle tho has some super powers involved, where clannad is more slice of life
The way both anime start off driven mainly by humour and go onto become emotionally charged is very similar. Both main characters help the female cast grow and develop. Clannad is better and deeper, especially when you include the afterstory. So if you liked Shuffle, I reckon you'll love Clannad. If you found Clannad too emotional, and didn't like the family elements of the show, want something which focuses more on romance, and like cartoon boobs, then Shuffle's definitely for you.

Both styles of art are brilliant!
They're both harem animes with some comedy in each (more comedy in Clannad).
Definitely two of my favorite animes so far.
The art style of both animes are the same
and both are also Harem
on top of that
both seem to be very promising
~Bondocter~
Both are pretty focused on Romance, Drama and School. Clannad has supernatural elements while True Tears doesn't.
Both have a lot of girls are one guy as the focus to the story.
Might even go as far as saying "True Tears" could be a "If Clannad had no supernatural theme to it, it would be..."
Both male protagonists are delinquents, or at least labelled as one and end up attempting to help girls with their problems, both with interesting results.
Both are PG-13
its is very similar i think its better though check it out
Same OP singer ... harem (kind of) ... sad story ... cry a river, anyone?
both are harem/romance stories and they have a very similar feel. Art style and sound are also quite similar.
Drama/Romance very good ... I advise
Both great love stories with fantastic plot and music
Both series are very interesting and deep dramas. If you like drama, romance and slice of life, you'll like both of them. I prefer True Tears, but if you enjoyed Clannad, I recommend you True tears, and viceversa.
Clannad have some funny moments and other are really emotional and deep. True Tears is a drama that makes you think but without moments so emotional as True Tears and without comedy.
Both of them are harem but harem is very well-done, they are absolutely different from the typical harem.
And both of them have female characters that you'll definitely fall in love with!
Both are great and touching stories about a high school couple, challenges between them, and some funny moments.
Welcome to Lantis' edition of Clannad. Its a heartfelt story with a few twists but doesnt really compare to the tenderness of Clannad. Good artwork. Great character development. I recommend both
-Both protagonists are given a choice in terms of love :3
-Good development with the characters
-Art style and Music is amazing
-Drama that happens is intense
-Lots of Tear-jerking moments T_T
-Both Harem
-Not to mention the question of whom the protagonist will chose keeps you watching!
also about a boy who finds himself in a mystery with several girls
Both are about a male not knowing what to do and where to go with their lives. Later, a lonely girl (or strange and lonely in noes case) draws the male in, and he is inspired to help her, and they both end up helping each other and loving each other in one way or another. Both are also love triangles. Sunohara (clannad) is just a comic relief though, whereas Nobuse (True Tears) is actually somewhat important in the story and more important in the end of the story and epilogue. Clannad has more humor, while True Tears has more Drama. The OP for both are done by Eufonius. Both also have a great ED.
Interesting characters with a unique/emotional story. Romance/ School life/ Drama. They both have lovely music, animation and style. And both like talking about hopes and dreams.

-Jun Maeda is the writer of Little Busters! that also wrote Clannad, Air, Angel Beats and parts of Kanon
-Both are adaptions from visual novels created by Key
-Both animes's setting/story goes by an omnibus format, and have small arcs for each heroine that doesn't diverge from the central plot of the story (with the setting intact)
First, they both an adaptation from Key's visual novels. They also both have parts written by Jun Maeda. In terms of drama, I think you could say that they both have it but in Clannad it's heavy.
And their layout is starting from comedy, then turn into a romance then drama.
-Self-narrative protagonists
-Each girl receives her own arc
-Animes adapted from creations by KEY
-Drama, romance, comedy, bromance, school life, all along with supernatural tones
-- Both are Key's heart-felt Visual Novel adaptations
-- Same character design style
-- Puts importance on family and friendship
-- Both have deep Romance and Drama
-- Tear Jerkers
Same writer, and they are very similar in comedy and drama.
Both anime are made by Key and feature some incredibly funny gags along with serious, dramatic moments.
Both are masterpieceful works by Key, one outlining the importance of family, and the other the importance of friends.
Both masterpieces by Jun Maeda, that will make you laugh, smile and cry.
-Has the same feel/atmosphere
-Lighthearted and comedic but with interesting and serious stuff as well
-Several girls involved/harem-ish
Both series were written by the same author. They are both based on visual novels.
Both animes share the comedy, drama and school genre.
Clannad and Little Busters are both astounding works written by Jun Maeda and adapted from visual novels created by Key. Thus, the similarities in style and presentation between the two are enormous.
They draws you in with it's beautiful animation, stunning soundtrack, and heart wrenching storylines. Both share this magical world created of similiar weaving stories that captivate the heart and leave you wanting more.
While they are both harem anime by definition, they are done in a way that can be taken seriously; neither series is loaded with perversion or fanservice. Instead, both of the series focus on developing the characters through their interaction in the present as well as flashbacks from the past. They make you walk each step with them as you feel their emotions and listen to their thoughts.
Clannad and Little Busters are two sides of a coin. Not only do they both have the same target audience, enjoying one series consequently results in the enjoyment of the other.
Little Busters and Clannad were both written by Key, namely Jun Maeda for the second seasons of each show. They both originate as similar style VNs, that share a common development characters through primarily slice of life comedy before more dramatic events later on. They both originate from visual novels and have some overlapping storytelling traits due to the original format.
Also, Little Busters invokes a theme of friendship, while Clannad is more oriented towards a theme of family. They're both nice slice of life shows that shouldn't be hastily judged before getting to the end of the second season of each.
Little Busters follows a similar layout to how Clannad's story unfolds. They both follow a boy in high school and the main character develops relationships with many different people, specifically girls. Throughout each show, the girls eventually open up to our main character, and show their tragic backstories, or similar events that are troubling them in the present time. Our main character uses his friendship with others to help bring the troubled friend into a new perspective of life, helping them to be freed from their despair. Since both animes are based off the visual novels created by Key, you can expect similar dramatic events that tear at your emotions, yet both have enough comedy to balance out the tragic events. Both shows are tied for my favorite romance/drama series, and its to be expected as Key has a great way of creating characters that are pretty much impossible to hate. Definitely give both a watch, and you will see what kind of similarities both shows share.

Both Clannad and Ano Hana are good dramas featuring the development of friendship and a bit of supernatural events.
The main difference between thoso two is that Clannad has a lot more of funny scenes and jokes, while Ano Hana is on the cute side and deeply focused on its long drama.
If you want a soft drama, Clannad is your call. But if you really want the tears to flow, Ano Hana is the choice. They are two sides of the same coin.
Both the series are awesome slice of life which can make your cry. In both the series, the main protagonist is a delinquent who has to help a moe girl. The interactions they have with other characters form the rest of story. Although both play out a bit differently, if you like one, you should check the other out
Clannad's Fuko (first) arc reminds me of AnoHana. Meiko and Fuko's personalities are very similar and they start being forgotten, one by one. However, the male lead tries his best to remember the female lead with the help of his friends. Both are extreme tearjerkers.
Supernatural, friendship, romance, & slice of life. They're both tearjerking shows that give you the same feel.
Both Protagonist had given up on the world both had a girl that made the change.Both have funny scenes and sad scenes.
Both animes...
Made me cry
Made me laugh
then cry again
and for some reason, indigestion... :|
Ano Hana && CLANNAD contains similar elements. They are both slice-of-life anime that involves supernatural events. Their supernatural element makes them more interesting. Also, they both combine drama and comedy really well(:
Both have beautiful romance drama's and a character who only a few people can see
Both made me cry...A lot.
Also, on both shows, a girl changes the main protagonist into a better person.
Both animes deal with a ghost girl who has a wish they want to be fulfilled. They're also both very dramatic and sad at times. Nonetheless, both shows are excellent series in their own right. Highly recommended for people who love dramas!
The feeling of tragedy and the sorrowful past is never easy. Both these series has the potential to bring a viewer to tears with its beautiful story and colorful characters. For anime fans interested in drama and sorrow stories, these two are a must-see.
Clannad and Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae wo Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai don't have similar names, but they are similar. Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae wo Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai made me cry so much that I thought my eyes started bleeding, while Clannad was so sad that my heart stopped at a couple moments during the story because of how targic the scenes were. It didn't matter that Clannad started as a game because even though games are worse than anime, it tugged on my heart strings so hard that I thought I had a heart attack. These anime are packed with enough impact to cause you to die twice due to emotional heart attack. Seriously though, these anime are overly dramatic and irritating to me at least.
The plots themselves aren't really similar but both are quite emotional and incredibly touching.
If you like one I'm sure you'll like the other. c:

The main male characters are so alike it's scary! XD
they have the same type of comedy, as well as the same personality for the male protagonist. They both give off that feel of being a sometimes romantic yet sometimes not genre.
The point-of-view of either stories is a male character who gives no shit about the world. Both of those characters are surrounded by peculiar ladies... so both animes kinda feature some lil bit of romance and comedy. MHS and Clannad both tell the story of a certain "club" the characters are in.
They're both about a guy that talks to a nonsocial girl which leads to forming a club together.
The male lead is VERY similar, and he gets dragged by the female lead on her many adventures. The two anime are both about clubs, as well as some side-stories.
Both of the main male characters give their own sarcastic opinion about what's happening during the episode, both in their heads and out loud. Kyon does it a lot more than Tomoya, but they look at things very similarly.
If you liked the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, you will definitely enjoy Clannad.
Clannad is the more mature version of MoHS in my opinion, as well as covering topics that MoHS wouldn't cover, while still maintaining an enjoyable and comedic plot :)
Both are slice of life stories involving the main male character meeting a female character who wants to start a school club of their own. The stories then follow the characters in the story trying to find members for their club and the different tasks they face in the club.
The male leads are almost the same. They then make a club together with a girl.
Both male protagonists speak very similarly, both have a slice-of-life setting, are set in high school, and include school clubs and their maintaining of them. However, Haruhi is more outgoing and humorous than Clannad, whereas Clannad is more sweet and easygoing than Haruhi.
Both are certainly Kyoto Animations best animes ever made. Both have very intriguing, unique, and memorable main characters. Both are garbled with several varying genres but are remarkably well balanced together and articulate. The final conclusions for both series in its later adaptions are impressive and outstanding so PLEASE remain resolute and continue on to their respective sequels. You won't want to miss their conclusions, trust me.

both have deep emotional arcs and meanings. both contains drama powerful stories to touch the heart. although clannad is more comedy-orientated whilst ef is more drama orientated, both have amazing artwork (though different in style), and BOTH ARE ABSOLUTELY EPIC AND TOTALLY WORTH WATCHING especially if you like drama/romances/slice of life/school stuff!!!!
Both are very sad beautiful and tear-jerking. Great storyline and character development is their feature in common.
I have to say, if you like the idea of a nice girl being helped by guy, then ef is another great one to watch. There are quite a few similar themes between both of them such as gaining the confidence to pursue a "dream" thanks to a great guy you randomly met. Though Clannad is more comedy oriented (Air is pretty funny too at times!), ef is more drama oriented.
They aired at the same time, so many people completely overlooked ef in favor of Clannad. However, they both are compelling tales of several characters and how their lives intertwine together in a small town.
really cute animes about love and friendship the characters hardships they must go through.
Both are great shows that NEED to be watched. Personally I liked Ef better but both are great animes.
Beautiful and sad shows.
Both are drama, romance and harem.
Both these dramas involve high-school romances, and feature a male protagonist who, though initially a delinquent, is spurred onto the right path through the influence and guidance of family and friends. Both are very character-driven, and while the characters in Clannad are more fleshed out than those in Ef, Ef is significantly more condensed and loaded. If you're up for an emotional rollercoaster with great artwork, music and characters, watch these.
Both shows have very moving moments and good romance themes.
Though Ef - aToM lays on the drama thicker than Clannad, both shows are school based romance stories. If you seek something cute, Ef may not be your thing, but if you're looking for a well-written and somewhat bittersweet drama, you may have found it here.

Oreki may as well be Tomoya and vice versa. They have the same seiyuu and behave and think in largely the same manner. The main heroine in both shows is also there to serve as a foil and contrast for the protagonist and the style and tone of the two anime is very much similar. While Clannad is much more serious and dramatic than Hyouka is, there's something for fans of either show to enjoy here.
Apathetic guy steps in to save a club from termination and ends up more involved than he ever intended.
Same style of a main character. Tomoya doesn't care about anything and tends to avoid useless things, same with Hou. They both start to open up though through the same means.
Both KyoAni, same seiyuus for both lead male and lead male's best mate. Similarities in pacing and lead male's general attitude.
The main character steps in the same the clubroom. The main characters bestfriend is carefree just like in Clannad. The main girl is has almost the same kind of spirit as the main girl in Clannad.
The protagonist in Hyouka reminds me of Tomoya from Clannad a lot. They even share the same voice actor. Not to mention the animation style in Hyouka looks reminiscent of Clannad, very smooth and of high quality. Hopefully from now on KyoAni will go back to making anime with animation of this caliber.
-Both, male and female protagonist have very a like personalities.
Males are not-of-my bussiness characters that eventually joins a club
Females are shy but perseveran characters that, somehow develope a relationship with the male character (more obvious in Clannad)
-Male deuteragonist (Sunohara in Clannad, Satoshi in Hyouka) are very alike in art and personality.
Both of the main characters are lazy and have a little consideration on their surroundings, however a certain person appears in both series and moved them to act. The female main heroine from these series which had supported the MC are both cute, innocent, and elusive. As the story began, both series may appear as an ordinary slice of life, but the storyline becomes more solid in the later episodes which is attractive.
Both series are absolutely magnificent to look at, both designed by Kyoto Animation. Primary male protagonist are voiced by the same voice actors. Both plots involve revitalizing a dismantling club and future character interactions revolve around that club. Rather than incorporate tragedy and supernatural elements with a substantial amount of romance, Hyouka focuses on commonplace mystery scenarios and drama with little romance.

I don't know, it just is. Bunch of girls with various different lifes get joined together by one boy. It's a really good watch :3
A male main char surounded by girls , fantasy , romance , school life :P
It has a bit of the similar storyline, harem and it's funny
H20 is a lower quality version of Clannad. You have a protagonist who has different circumstances--blindness in H20, and delinquency in Clannad--who is followed around by or meets a harem of girls. Cue crazy back-stories and a plot that just throws in random problems to make it seem spicy and you have either series. The difference is H20: Footprints in the sand finishes in half the time.
also about a boy who finds himself in a mystery with several girls
School life. Slice of life. Drama setting. Relationship/Love story with a fixed character. Main characters with personal problems and dramatic backstory. Unexpected/Tearful conclusion. Little surreal aspects.
Both are sad but have happy endings
This is a very sad anime, I can in a way say that you'll cry in a more hurt way if you watch H2O: Footprints in the Sand then Clannad, like no joke.

Both are romance and i suppose both have hints of humor, its too early to tell yet about kimi no todoke but its probably going to have a clannad like ending as so many animes have now
They're both about high school love. And they're both awesome.
The main female character of both Clannad and Kimi ni Todoke have the same "Do my best" personality. In that sense, the main male characters are also alike. Okazaki (from Clannad) and Kazehaya (from Kimi ni Todoke) both aid the main female characters into more interactions with people and help the story develop into a deep plot. I enjoyed both anime and hope to see more like it.
If you liked the NagisaXTomoya storyline in Clannad, then I'm sure you'll like Kimi ni Todoke. Unlike many series, while Kimi ni Todoke is a romance, the two leads' relationship progresses slowly, making it an absolutely adorable romance for those who love characters pining after each other.
Both anime shows the love that is born between two high school people by helping each other and making friends.
Great Story, Characters and Animation.
Both are beautiful romance stories. Although Clannad has more action in it and kimi ni todoke is more laid back, they both have a similar kind of feeling

It's not exactly like FB but it reminds me of FB a bit. If you like Fb I'm pretty sure you'll like Clannad.
It isn't that much similar to Fruits Basket, but the main characters in Clannad remind me of the characters in Fruits Basket.
Nagisa in clannad and Tohru in fruits basket are incredibly similar. They're both sweet, naive, and caring. The main guys in both animes have a dark past that haunts them and in order to overcome it, the need someone to accept them. They're both really funny too.
Fruits Basket is also sad, but touching, there are numerous humorous moments which brings the characters together to come to become friends.
Both great slice of life anime..
if you like the other, you will surely appreciate the other!
Clannad and Fruits Basket go hand and hand with many similarities. When I watched both, it definitely reminded me of one and the other. Let's break this down, shall we?
First, both series are lighthearted and contains supernatural themes. The main female protagonist is a kind young girl who doesn't want to hurt those around her. She later meets other characters who she forms valuable bonds with.
Secondly, series have a lot of drama and comedy (more so in Clannad). They also have their touching moments.
Third, both series takes place a school setting and focuses on other characters at times although the key relationship involves the main girl in both titles. They enjoy life and helping others while valuing their own experiences.
Both series of course has a touch of romance in it that is later explored in their works.
Both anime are very romantic, some of the scenes from Clannad will make you cry. Both are good anime and they are similar in a way that the stories involve two people falling love and both have other similarities as well.

Both are very high drama and romance! If you like Clannad then you should definetly watch this movie!
2 of my favorite romance dramas, good storyline filled with surprises.
Clannad is awesome and so does 5 CPS worth watching!!!!
Both Clannad and 5 Centimeters per second are romance anime. Both have a similar sad atmosphere. Both have themes of magic and destiny in it. Clannad has funny moments when 5 centimeter per second doesn't. Both are enjoyable. Both are masterpieces. If you watched one and liked it try the other out as you might like it as well! ^W^
Both are about a enduring connection of love, spanning times and seasons.
Both have good stories, as that's all I care about.
Both are very dramatic and (at times) sad silce-of-life animes, with a bit of romance mixed in, though Clannad also has a funny side.
The 2 are Shojo style anime that can appeal to both Shonen and Shojo fans and especially to fans of both genres

These two romance series presents to the viewer likable characters and cute moments. Both are currently airing in the 2007 fall season and have male leads who look similar to one another.
At first, it looks like a school slice of life with a bit of romance and harem, but in the end it ends up beind SO much more than that. Both reach a certain depth in predestined relationships, even if the show doesn't focus on it.
well, the biggest similarity between that TV series is that both of them are treating about *school times*, so you know - in general school, friends, boyfriends&girlfriends, first love, family, intrests etc.
but in my opinion 'Myself;Yourself' has a more mature attitude to these issues and shows the life of teenagers which is not always as colorful as somebody might think.That anime have a deep insight into serious youth's problems, such as difficult past or family conflicts, which are sometimes downgraded by other productions. The plot stays in your mind and makes you think. moreover, it's well-done and watching is a great pleasure! I would recommend it for everybody - the anime has only 13 episodes, but it's really worth watching. I guess that's currently my fav ;)
'Clannad' was more like a pure entertainment for me - makes you really relaxed ;)! the biggest advantage of that series is a great sense of humour - it really makes you laugh outloud at times ^_- Dialogues are great and characteres very nice, especially Tomoya-kun ^^. but if you are 'anime obsessed ' and usually prefer sth which forces you to think about various issues , you may be disappointed and bored at times.
Kotomi's arc reminds me a lot of Nanako's story
Slice of life, Romance mixed with side stories for each individual characters. Both animes are tear tearjerkers and very sweet dramas, Myself, Yourself has a much happier ending though.
Both are Harem style anime dealing with love, drama, comedy and friendship between teens but have their own unique tastes which make them good. Both animes have their share of tender and sad romantic moments.
really dramatic romance anime stories.. myself yourself is really slice of life genre meanwhile clannad's supernatural but it's slice of life too...

Both shows are about making a club. The characters have similar personalities and the animation also looks similar. Both are made by Kyoto Animation.
Similar comedy, same production studio.
Girls that make everything for keep alive school club. Kyoani animation and chara design.
Just watching the first episode made me feel like i was watching a new season of Clannad. They had the same problem trying to get the club in motion, the have the same clumsy, shy, Nagisa like character, honestly it got me thinking about the music club Clannad. If you like Clannad i think your going to like this slice of life too.
Both involves club-related activities, with only difference is that Clannad is more focus on drama while K-On! is on comedy. Plus, both female main characters (Nagisa from Clannad, Yui from K-On!) has a bit similarity between them. Both anime are enjoyable to watch.
KyoAni made them both and made brilliantly. Although Clannad is more into drama and K-ON! is a funny story, both got fantastic art, op and ed

Clannad owes a lot to Kanon, and it's plainly obvious right from the start.
Same base of story 1 man, many girls
Clannad owes much from Kanon.
Really worth watching it :)
Both series have excelent graphics, a cute romance storyline and unexpected (yet captivating) phenomena. Also the episodes' opening story/narration is cool.
A whole lot of simiralities(cant spell) between the two, both would just grab you and make you wanna watch again and again!
they are alot alike they are 2 like Kanon, Clannad and Air, out of the 3 Kanon is the best it had an amazing story and ijust loved it. it was sad, happy, funny, and just down right amazing!!

The Anime's genre is different, however I find many of main characters quite similiar in both of animes. (Kagami would be clannad's Kyou, Tsukasa=Ryou, Konata=Fuko). I can quite assure that if viewers enjoyed Lucky Star's Characters, they surely would enjoy/appreciate Clannad and It's Characters.
I found them similar because they both are about school comedy & ryou is like tsukasa,kagamai is like kyou,nagisa is like miyuki(a little bit) & fuko is like konata.
Lucky Star and Clannad are very alike cause they're mostly about humor :) But Clannad WILL MAKE YOU CRY (Warning just for you people :) ). And if you didn't cry, that means you either have no heart, or you didn't watch it all the way through. ._.
Ok, so back to where we were, Clannad also has characters that are similiar to Lucky Star characters, not exactly like them, but similiar at least ^_^ This anime also features romance, which is something that Lucky Star didn't feature (Note: This is the stuff that will make you cry :) ). Well, Clannad is mostly a comedy anime, and the romance parts aren't like, all the sappy and corny ones also. So it's a really good anime for those people that want some laughs.
Oh, and also for those romance lovers, finish the first season and move onto the second season, a bit more romance for you. :) (And yeah, I know this is "recommending" a sequel, but I didn't make a whole new recommendation for it, so yeah :) )
Oh, and this is my first recommendation and I bet tons of people of already have done this recommendation, so don't be mean please :)
Both Clannad and Lucky Star are beautiful animes that focus on topics such as friendship, everyday living and comedy.
They're quite different from one another. Lucky Star will make you laugh while Clannad will make you laugh and cry :) Oh and Lucky Star characters have similar looking characters in Clannad. Kagami - Kyou, Tsukasa - Ryou and Konata - Fuko

Both of these stories involve a relationship that starts out in high school and keeps on progressing after high school.
both have a '' after the happy ending'' kinda story
Both of them have a romantic story line and and comedy. If you really interest in romance than I highly recommend it :)
I was surprised no one had recommended Itazura na Kiss yet, since it has a similar feel to it.
Both have:
~A strong love connection
~The story shows the characters growing up
~A very heart-warming story, with an equally heart-warming ending
If you like one, you'll probably like the other :)

The story of the both almost the same . Love and Romance during their high school life .
Story is very touching and lively as we continue to watch it .
Compare to real life, we need to work hard just to obtain the thing we want >.<
Da Capo is also a romance drama and has many charming aspects to it including interesting side characters and unrequited love. Although not as good as Clannad (in my opinion) both seasons are very much worth a watch!
-Both animes's setting/story goes by an omnibus format, and have small arcs for each heroine that doesn't diverge from the central plot of the story (with the setting intact)
-Each girl receives her own arc
-Drama, romance, comedy, bromance, school life, all along with supernatural tones

Both have a main character who's actions have great impact on the storyline(which you would expect from a main character lol) also they have similar characteristics. The characters are Nagisa in Clannad and Haruka in KNE(Kimi ga Nozomu Eien). Though at first they seem to be one of the weaker characters (in terms of both physical and mental strength), both become stronger as the story develops.
Both of the charcters have a soulmate which they love and believe in Tomoya in Nagisa's case and Takayuki in Haruka's case. These soulmates do not show any affection for their so called counter parts in the series, however as the story develops affection grows beyond measurement.
Both of the series seem to be dull, however as the storyline progresses both are really interessting and worth watching till the very end.
Last and final simularity between the two is that they are both based on the love between the main character and her soulmate (though some might disagree in the case of KNE, I will not address any of this because it would lead to spoilers).
To summarize all of this and give you a tip as well. In my opinion Clannad and KNE are so much alike that if you like Clannad you will surely like KNE (perhaps even more then Clannad, like I do). However I would like to stress anyone to not watch the series at the same time for you might mix the storylines a bit (as I did on more then one occasion).
I hope that you enjoy both of the series if you plan on watching them.
Same aspect of the anime.
Should be viewed. Highly recommended
Background story and character development is very similar.
Both Kimi and clannad are drama romance anime
although I'd say Kimi is far a far better drama and romance
Kimi's story is more serious and the series is shorter so it doesn't have as much dullness
Those that enjoyed Clannad should easily enjoy this or Angel Beats

You Always Get The Feeling What If He Would Be With Her Or Her. Both Stories Has Different Stories In Them. By Clannad I Counted The OVAs As Well.
Both have a similar vibe in that it involves 1 guy dealing with 5 girls, each having their own arc and story.
Essentially, the plot elements and theme are similar.
-Both animes's setting/story goes by an omnibus format, and have small arcs that can either or not be diverging from the central plot of the story (with the setting intact)
-Both can be considered BUT IS. NOT. a harem, since the anime concentrates on one heroine to the next.
Basically the same school setting; Clannad contains MUCH more Drama than Amagami SS; There is huge affection to the main protagonist from all females in both Series.
|
|
|
Both have a guy and girl starting a club together that starts to grow, both clubs have more girls than guys, and they are both romantic anime
Both of these anime are focused on protagonists who have trouble making friends, therefore starting a club and making friends on the way. Both of them are packed with comedy, emotions and friendships.
Although it's much heavier in terms of emotions, both have a fun sense of humor and lovable cast of characters you'd have to be heartless not to like.
|
|
|
-Both animes's setting/story goes by an omnibus format, and have small arcs for each heroine that doesn't diverge from the central plot of the story (with the setting intact)
Female characters scheme is almost identical;
Protagonist characteristics are the same;
Protagonist's male friend characteristics are the same;
Behavior and relation between the protagonist and his male friend is similar.
most of the surrounding girls have similar behaviour and some of them share the same background story: the forgotten childhood friend, the secretly-in-love, the cute-things-lover....etc.
but nearly everything about the female lead (story, habits, ending) is different
both series feature the alternative ending episodes like in visual novels

Though the world of the supernatural does not play as large of a role in Clannad (its sequel uses it more) as it does in Bakemonogatari, the essence of it is still there. Also, both male protagonists have profound desires to save any girls they meet that are in trouble. Koyomi and Tomoya have similar personality types, both being cynical yet caring.
Bakemonogatari reminded me of a mix of Clannad and Petite Cossete.
Like Clannad, Bakemono has a spiritual side as well as having humor even in the most serious of scenes. Both had wonderful animation, though they both definitely have they're own styles, they're both beautifully animated in they're own right.
Both male protagonist remind me of each other, funny, serious, and surrounded by women of all ages. On that note, Bakemono is far more explicit than Clannad which I find to be an unnecessary addition to an otherwise nice anime.
Overall, if Bakemono had taken a few more cues from Clannad, it would have been much better. But as it is, I think a fan of Bakemonogatari would appreciate Clannad and visa-versa.
P.S. The fact that I am even comparing Bakemono to my favorite anime of all time means that it is definitely at least worth thinking about watching.
IF you liked Clannad, the first which which isnt as sad :s , then you most likely will like Bakemonogatari, it has just a scratch of action which is good, but essentially some episodes are about nothing but talking. Whats funny is that its actually interesting and not boring, funny as well which is something that Clannad has, although i doubt you will be crying in this one. Even so, this is one of those underrated but goddamn good anime's.

Very similar haram types with similar female and male leads.
Both series have one main male protagonist surrounded by various girls of conflicting personalities. Family issues are part of the plot bringing emotions and drama. Additionally, both MC are considered to have better self control than typical harem leads; not freaking out completely during typical "ecchi" scenes. Both anime(s) also contain plenty of comedy.
I am not a fan of HAREM but these two are exemptions because even though it's about one boy and several girls, the guy is definitely not indecisive just like the typical storyline in any harem which I really hate
|
|
|
The overall tone of the shows is very identical in tone, as in they're very bittersweet shows. Funny, yet a bit sad.
There's a person who ends up helping everyone. (Tomoya and Kobato) Even though Kobato is clumsy and Tomoya is mostly sarcastic. (But really sweet. ^.^) There's also humor and love of course.
If you enjoyed watching one of them, you'll definitely like the other.
Both Clannad and Kobato leave give you a heart warming and good feeling after watching. Both female protagonists are cute, kind, and gentle. I highly recommend watching both these series for a feel good mood!
|
|
|
I think the feeling while watching was similar, and both have 'other words' and school stuff, so if you like one, you will probably find the other one nice.
Epecially, If u like shoujo type anime, drama/school/slice of life.
ef is SHAFT's answer to KyoAnis Clannad. Both are based off of popular visual novels and both have the same type of story, based on the problems the shows heroines are facing and how the protagonist helps each girl in her struggles to better improve ther life and conquer their fears.
Well their both very sad animes.
|

Hitohira has something for those who might have wanted to see more of a Drama Club.
This anime really reminded me of clannad mainly because of a drama club. They are both emotional but Hitohira juggles more of the emotions around the club itself and its members. If you loved either of the series i'm sure you'll love the other one. But i tell you, Hitohira is definately a junior of clannad in my opinion
both want to bring the drama club back to live, if you enjoyed Clannad you'll definitely love Hitohira and vice-versa.
|
|
|
it is intersting an just like clannd it is a bit with super natural,
2 heart touching story. also the ending leaves viewers after thoughts of what might happen after the end.
this is similar to clannad's favorite character tomoyo sakagami btw the leading girl is my fave here
|
|
|
They seem to have the same feel and kind of writing, even though clannad hasn't put itself out there as a romance anime.
Similar because both of them are school based. The main characters do all sorts of events and stuff in both animes. both seem really soothing and calm
Both have funny and sad moments. Although Tokimeki is more comedy based while Clannad is more drama based, they both have their share of both.
|
|
|
Both are harem anime based off of visual novels. Both have a complex plot which has to do with forgotten pasts, one-sided romances, etc. They also both have beautiful animation and eufonius singing their opening theme.
-Both animes's setting/story goes by an omnibus format, and have small arcs for each heroine that doesn't diverge from the central plot of the story (with the setting intact)
|
|
|
It's not very mystical or supernatural about this series, but it's very similar when it comes to the characters.
The main guy in To heart are just as helpful and friendly as the main guy in Clannad. He helps out a lot of girls that he meets.
The girls's personalities in To Hart are very similar to the ones in Clannad
The atmosphere and characters are similar between these two shows.
|
|
|
Starts off as your typical comedy/romance school anime through the first few episodes and takes a turn in the opposite direction with more deep, serious, and sometimes dramatic tones.
School, drama, comedy, romance.
The setup is similar with a main male character, a less important male character, and multiple girls.
Both are highly character-driven, although Clannad has more plot and Kokoro Connect is more slice-of-life. Clannad is also more innocent while Kokoro Connect is more... interesting.
|
|
|
The male protagonist solves the issues of five main heroines one by one and ends up with one of them.
Similar school and club setup, in fact, there aren't many differences in terms of story and development beyond slightly differing settings. KoiChoco is set in a huge student-run school with an absurdly powerful student council being the driving force for plenty of politics and everything sinister associated. Clannad is set in a more standard high school / suburban town, but throws in supernatural and existential elements.
There are a lot of similarities in the scenarios that exist in each series, since real life only gives so many ways of making that emotional impact happen. From childhood friends with past events that haunt them to sister-love-competition dynamics to accidents which lead to comas, it's all very much the same.
Ultimately though, both anime are pulled through by their solid execution of their premises (as well as an interesting and likeable cast), and they are both very much worth a watch.
Schools anime, both are about club and have drama and romance.
They are both harem anime too.

Lamune Characters Kenji and nanami look a lot to nagisa and tomoya, the feeling it's not the same but the personalities look the same
Furukawa Nagisa - Konoe Nanami
Okazaki Tomoya - Tomosaka Kenji
And in both anime the male and female main character make a good couple/really cute couple
If you liked one you'll like the other at 100% the only different is the amount of episodes
|
|
|
This may sound weird, but both have a guy that somehow changes, affects the other girls' life. Both have drama. In both we can see how a person changes the other's life and life is full of possibilities.
I know they aren't very similiar, but both are really beautiful.
Main girl characters, Rena and Nagisa are very similiar (the same seiyuu, brown hair, and they are so cute!).
And Higurashi and Clannad shows happy and funny moments and sad moments too.
All girls in both series looks happy, but they have some sad memories too.
Eh, sorry for my English.
|
|
|
The little sister of the main character from Mashiroiro is similar to Furukawa Nagisa from Clannad. They both appears to be weak but works hard and are very resilient, not to mention cute.
The original soundtracks from both the series are very alike.
The atmosphere at the school is quite the same too.
Both are originated from Visual Novel.
The calm and smooth going plot of both anime are very appealing to watch.
It has a basis generic character at 1st but improves as story goes, in fact, a lot.
|
|
|
-Both animes's setting/story goes by an omnibus format, and have small arcs that can either or not be diverging from the central plot of the story (with the setting intact)
-Both can be considered BUT IS. NOT. a harem, since the anime concentrates on one heroine to the next.
Slice of life, and both with a good story
|
|
|
as you see,this movie is also much about romance
Ichigo 100% does have it's dramatic scenes and such, but what this anime lacks in a true satisfying conclusion; Clannad makes up for it in at least some similar sense.
Ichigo is more ecchi-oriented while Clannad is truly dramatic with a hint of comedy. So if you're looking for a rather more deep and dramatic harem, Clannad is right for you. Although I'm not saying Ichigo doesn't have it's share of romance...
|
|
|
The boy meets the girl and both of their lives changes slowly. as their relationship deepens. They mature and their personalities changes. Both series has mostly romance and comedy, but Clannad focuses much more on romance than comedy and vice versa for Seto. Setting are rather similar, as both are set in a school. Also there is everyone favorite, harem.
|
|
|
More Or Less Both Are Harem Themed Animes, With Both Having Rather Strange Things Happening. In Fortune You Have the Idea Of Mortals And Vampires falling In Love although the Mortal Boy Is Surrounded By Females In A School Environment. And In Clannad You Have A Boy falling In Love With A Girl, Whit Aspects Of Ghosts Visiting (This isn't What Happens, To Avoid Spoiling Ill Stop Here), But With A School Theme As well.
So To Summarise Both are Very Much Sci-fi Harems. Clannad Is ALOT Sadder And If You Watch The first Season You HAVE to Watch The Second, Equally As Sad!!! If You Don't Like animes That Will Make You Cry Don't Watch Clannad, But If You Have Time and no ones Looking Watch Clannad And Have A Secret Cry!!! Well Wort it. Both Animes Are Gd And Worth The Watch.

Both Kimi ni todoke and Clannad are about a developing relationship. With kimi ni todoke it's about Sawako and Kazehaya. With Clannad it's about Nagisa an Tomoya
Both are full of love and romance, and a hint of comedie.
If you adore Kimi ni todoke, you'll definitely like Clannad!
|
|
|
- Heavy emotional involvement
- Touching character interactions
- Good character development (which Kowarekake no Orgel amazingly manages to do in 30 minutes)
- Moe
- Tugs on your heart strings
- Great music, including some tracks with powerful vocals
In reality, Kowarekake no Orgel is good if you're a fan of ANY of Key's works, but it's most similar to Air in terms of plot.
|
|
|
While Clannad is a bit lighthearted and Kimi ga Aruji is quite ecchi, both series actually revolves around the importance of a family which will be more apparent in the later episodes of Kimi ga Aruji. Also, in both series, both male protagonist hates their father and both tries to reconcile with them.
|
|
|
They both have the same dramatic feel to it. Both sound tracks are phenomenal. Both are about love and friendship too. However, Clannad as some supernatural elements and takes place in High school where as Honey and Clover is basically 100% real college life with no supernatural elements. Bits of humor too... I thought of Clannad when i saw H&C so watch em!
|
|
|
Both are about a girl that wants to establish an drama/acting club at her school because there isn't one anymore or never existed one.
While Tsuyokiss choose a tsundere to take the lead role, Clannad takes a light hearted and silent heroine who depends much more on her friends instead of her own strong will.
|
|
|
Both are high school slice-of-life romances, though Boys Be is a bit more lighthearted than Clannad, which is the more dramatic of the two.
|
|
|
Clannad and Tsuki wa Higashi ni Hi wa Nishi ni -Operation Sanctuary- might be similar in it's story and such..Operation Sanctuary or also known as Hani Hani and Clannad are very similar with the Characters and Story..But Clannad has more Drama^^
(Similarities:)
-Characters <== Look/Appearance,Attitude,Habits etc..
-Story <== Life
-Genres <== [Well you guys will know that!]
In Hani Hani the characters are not really that good in acting but in Clannad the characters are well rated :)
But Hani Hani has a good life story as well ;) so does Clannad..
Clannad is a Famous/Popular anime as you can see but Hani Hani is not..So probably you think Hani Hani is not that interesting but I fully recommend you to watch Both..Or if you have already watched Clannad then watch Hani Hani or if you already watched Hani Hani ahh Duh watch Clannad!
I am sure you will like both stories :) Also,you will notice many similarities!Just watch both if you want to know ;)
|
|

Harpy is basically Nagisa with the ability to fly and better communication skills; Dango Daikazoku shares remarkable tonal and thematic similarities with Nanatsunoumi Yori Kimi no Umi.

|

Clannad: A good anime that can call the tears to break out.
Ghost hunt: Another good anime that kan make tears come out.
Clannad: An anime that has a lot of good story and alot of lovey dovey but still some very serious parts and some funny ones two.
Ghost hunt: An anime that is serious most of the time but still have some comedy and a little lovey dovey in the sideline.
All in all: They both are some realy good animes and if you dont watch any of them you are going to regret it.
|
|
|
romance/drama with a hint of supernatural
|
|
|
Both have a Dango maniac girl.
Go figure...
|
|
|
Ok, so, while these two seem completely different in terms of ideas, the fact is, they have some matching core aspects.
For starters, both are essentially 'slice of life'. That is to say that while there are some strange things that happen, not much of it is outside the realm of possibility. There's a bit of time travel stuff in Steins;Gate: Oukoubakko no Poriomania and there's essentially a second world in Clannad (which plays a role in Clannad: After Story, until which it can be used to see a metaphor for what the main character is feeling).
They also both have a kind of romance 'undertone' (in lack of a better word) to them, which both series leave till the end to really focus on for a while before ending it off.
They also have a bit of comedy in them but don't allow that to be the centre of the anime, that is to say, while there are some funny parts, if you're planning on watching either one for the humour alone, you will be disappointed.
One thing that I CANNOT stress enough here though, is that you should NOT watch Steins;Gate: Oukoubakko no Poriomania unless you've seen Steins;Gate, BECAUSE YOU WILL NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT IS GOING ON!
|
|
|
While Clannad is considered extremely emotional by many people, I find first season to be quite hilarious. The really sad/emotional scenes are in After Story. Clannad, like Baka to test, is about school life with comedy involved. If you like comedy with a little more drama involved be sure to check out Clannad
|
|
|
Another Harem with a more serious tone to it. Still lighthearted in places and fun, but generally it's not as silly as To-Love-Ru. Great to watch if you enjoyed the Harem aspect of To-Love-Ru.
|
|
|
Throughout the story, both main characters lose something very dear to them seemingly but in the end it turns out that what they believed was lost was always there. also both main characters are in harem type situations where multiple girls either fall in love with them or are infatuated with them.
|
|
|
First Place-you WILL CRY! the anime is about a shy and sensible girl like Nagisa, and she have a disease, and the appear two shinigami's to help help her, and she stay stuck between life and death, and by the way she sings :D
|
|
|
great animes , lots of fun watching them , never lost interest
|
|
|
Both main characters go through pain and suffering; mentally and emotionally.
|
|
|
Strawberry Panic and Clannad... both drama, romance and school in their genre, yet their only difference being Clannad having a sequel and Strawberry Panic being a yuri.
I think if you liked one of these, you will probably like the other one aswell. At least you could give it a try, right?
|
|
|
Romance and Drama anime.
It challenges both characters how to overcome different circumstances that will lead to them.
|
|
|
Both have a heart touching story
in both there are real ups and downs that you could relate with your own lives
and here when a person normally fails, its not that as if they recover quickly like in most anime..they go through all the phases of depression and stuff
some times it may even make you cry
after watching it you will feel
Sakurasou no pet na kanajo should definitely get a dub
|
|
|
It is the same mix of humor and sadness. Both contain cute characters. Both are awesome.
|
|
|
Clannad and Azumanga Diaoh have a lot in common. Both plots revolve around highschool students and both animes are witty and humorous. While I was watching Clannad, I instantly though of Azumanga Diaoh.
|
|
|
The protagonists are very much alike. Especially their train of thought. And they are both surrounded by a fair amount of very cute and moé girls.
Both give off the same vibes as they are very lighthearted and comedical but some of the characters also has some interesting backgrounds.
|
|
|
These two are about problems and overcoming it. In both anime protagonists face problems and overcome them. Both do an incredible job with character development. If you liked one you may like another.
|
|
|
Both animes have a beautiful love history and part of the history its about a theater act in the school. Also both animes have developed characters and some of them are pretty similars ( Nashisa/Yukino fathers for example).

You have a rough high school kid thrown into situations where he does nice stuff, accompanied by jokes and drama.

Clannad does not have a supernatural aspect to it, but two stories have somewhat similar pace, try watching one if you like the other...
|
|
|
Well for starters the same guy does the voice acting for the male lead. Male lead is in a wonderful harem situation-truely was jealous. Naoko Asakura is the student council president, and got a pretty similar personality to Tomoyo, both are extremely cute as well. Umi and Nagisa are alot alike as well. Wouldnt rate it as highly as clannad but was certainly worth the watch.

|
|
both dramas and have similar art styles.
|
|
|
Watching Seitokai no Ichizon reminds a little of Clannad. The characters are somewhat similar and both series have great art. If you like Seitokai no Ichizon, there's a good chance you would like Clannad, and visa-versa.

|
Another awesome comedy/drama.
|
|
|
Both the main guys are having troubles with their family because of their mothers death and the main girls both help them through that. Not only that but the lead girl from Kodomo no Omocha has an ilness. Not really much alike but both are just such sweet plots. I would recommend the manga though.

A love story mixed with comedy and family.

Clannad and Tsubasa Chronicle, both great animes, both about a boy and a girl, in clannad they meet for the first time at school but in Tsubasa Chronicle they have been childhoodfriends, in both animes a relationship grows between the main characters.

What I was thiking when I saw Kannagi it was Clannad.
There are similar in way of live, love and school. hmmm maybe also in songs.

Enjoy melodramatic, hypersensitive supporting characters despite featuring an interesting lead character? Clannad and Saikano exist for you! The two series are from different genres but share the same atmosphere. It is quite evident that the producers aimed to appeal to the viewer's emotions.
|
|
|
Even know this isn't a best match, but it does hold some of the same features, i.e.
1 boy vs 5 girls, school life/uniform
|
|
|
Aria the Animation has a feel in which relaxes the viewer. Both Aria and Clannad both give away that impression. Even though Clannad and Aria have different ideas, the given feeling of calm is the same, if you liked aria, and its sequels, you will probably like clannad

i like to say that nagisa reminds me of Sakura, they both cry but they are always cheerful
Tomoya is like Syaoran because they both don't know how they feel towards Sakura and Nagisa
Tomoyo and Kyou are like Meilin, oh boy they are powerful
For Tomoyo i really don't know who i can relate her to, i was thinking of fuko but fuko is very cheerful person and thinks of stars and that doesn't relate to Tomoyo but i guess i choose Kotomi because she's shy and she like Tomoyo
Touya is like Akio because they pick on there sister/daughter because they care for them.

The main girl char have the same attitude.... She likes to do something but can't express it to others...... fun anime with some serious moments and comedy....
|
|
|
storyline is at par with clannad funny at times a bit sad and a descent ending that would make you wish for a second season or a rewrite of the plot to change one thing
|
|
|
I thought it had the same touchy feeling at a few parts, but maybe not as good of a storyline, but i loved the storyline still. jsut that i wish it were longer, lol, but that goes for any anime that ppl like.

Clannad has more romance than comedy while ouran has more comedy than romance
|
|
|
Both shows are Harem animes. This essentially means there is one guy and several girls who like him. Both are extremely funny and light hearted. While Clannad is based on a school setting for the most part, Love hina is more set in a home setting. If you have seen and liked love hina, you will probably like clannad, and vice versa.
|
|
|
both series have blond haired guys that often get beaten: sunohara and imadori albeit only in different ways: sunohara often gets beaten for various reasons while imadori gets beaten for being a pervert and the protagonists kenji harima and tomoya okazaki are ex-deliquents
|
|
|
They both have:
1.) Wonderful artwork-
2.)A slight similarity-
3.) good romance-
4.) a very dramatic scene like this clannad-
5.) Otome looks so youthful, beautiful, and cute like Nagisa!!!-
it gets very dramatic at the last few episodes.

I have watched the majority of all the other recommendations, and I feels sad because Canvas 2 isn't listed here as well. What a pain! This is exactly why I registered to MyAnimeList! *smile*
*Most of the recommendations are animes that I love. Clannad is my number 1; I can connect to this because my father is somewhat similiar to Tomoya Okasaki's father. Maybe Tomoya Okasaki's dad may even be a better dad than mine. Hahah, what a pain, but I still love my dad.*
Canvas 2 ~Niji Iro no Sketch~ has a different plot, but the feeling when you watch it is quite the same. Although Canvas 2 doesn't have a very sad blend to it, it does have other similiar traits. Ex. Romance and Harem.
Just to make this quick, "The series focuses on the lives of some students and teachers at Nadesico Academy both at school and their private lives. The main character of the series is Kamikura Hiroki, who lives with his younger cousin Elis. Hiroki is training to become a full-fledged art teacher while also trying to take care of Elis. When his childhood friend Kiri starts working at the school, drama begins to flare as he has to juggle his work, private life, and the feelings of these two important girls." -Wikipedia
Anyway, it is a great anime. The same goes to all the other recommendations for Clannad as well (Although I watched the majority of these recommendations, there are still some that I didn't watch. I hope they are great too!).

-Both animes's setting/story goes by an omnibus format, and have small arcs that can either or not be diverging from the central plot of the story (with the setting intact)
|

it has a lot of romance and the pictures are both nice like in both stories. both were my top favs.
|

The drawing style look pretty similar, characters' behavior and storyline too.
Another common thing is about quantity and age of people, for example, people involved are almost all school friends and their families, and parents of al minors look like adolescents or at least really young to be parents.
The biggest difference is that Clannad is more about the school, while Ro-Kyu-Bu! is more about sports, especially basketball.
Another difference is that main characters in Ro-Kyu-Bu! are younger than main characters of Clannad.

-Both can be considered BUT IS. NOT. a harem, since the anime concentrates on one heroine to the next.
