Jun Maeda is the writer of Air, Clannad, Kanon and finally Angel Beats!
The fact that they show a couple´s life before marriage and through marriage it´s common in this animes. if you like to see what happens after the "happily ever after" watch it. xD
If you like Clannad, you definitely have to watch Kanon, since it's the predecessor and a true masterpiece.

It's similar in many ways, but it can score with great characters, great comedy, cuteness, tear breaking drama, overflowing happiness and some really really fantastic and intelligent story arcs.
If you watched Clannad you have to watch Toradora. They are very similar story-wise and the characters are sort of similar too. I would say Toradora had more entertainment while maintaining the I-love-her-and-she-loves-me-yet-other-girls-like-him-too sort of atmosphere. Yeah it'll most likely help you get out of the sadden state if you watched Clannad.
Artwork in both animes is outstanding and avant-garde (same applies to ef - tale of melodies). Both incorporate supernatural characters in surreal settings and heavy doses of symbolism (ef much more so). Ef's characterization is markedly more in-depth. Clannad avoids the ef serie's intense (but well-executed) melodrama, whereas ef avoids Clannad's harem stereotypes.
Similar feeling, similar comedy, make sure to watch Clannad before watching After Story though...
Though this theme is alot more central to Usagi Drop, the second season of Clannad is very focused around family, and most particularly, parenthood. The protagonists in both shows have to balance their tough working lives with their family lives. The presentation of the two is a little different however, as After Story contains alot more drama in comparison to the slice of life pacing of Usagi Drop.
Although at the beginning of CLANNAD ~After Story~, it starts off as mostly a comedy, it gets much more deeper. They both have the same pain of losing the person you love, have the same feelings and emotions. To be honest, Tomoya reminded me of Takaki in the way they dealed with everything. They also both have absolutely beautiful backgrounds, although 5 cm Per Second's was a bit more detailed. and the last thing, they both make you want to cry.
beautiful ost and amazing plot and character development. what more could I ask? Oh yeah, more episodes or a season two but that's just too much. Just hoping that jinta gets a kid with anaru and saa-kun gets a kid and well, you do the math.

tragedy and awesome plots, these two are highly recommended.
Also romance,drama,and also you can feel the life from this anime!Also,like Clannad,Kimi ga Nozomu Eien is full of feelings to friends,who later become lovers.
In Kimi ga Nozomu Eien Haruka is similar to Nagisa.
If you loved clannad you'll also like myself yourself. Because both of these anime series have similar drawings, sad background stories of characters and hopeful expectations from the future and a big romance
Both have the same sort of drama and similar feel at some point
Both approach adult conflicts in a very human way (Clannad AF: aftger episode 8). Both are drama + romance + slice of life and both will probably make you cry...XP
Romance that is building up following the main character who is taking care of a child its a touching anime just like clannad I saw the recommendation of it and I watch Ababy in 2days <3 got to love it
although in the exterior they look very different,Aria and Clannad are quite simmilar

Both of them give the viewer that heartwarming feeling after watching an episode.
Also both of them teach the viewer morals through the storyline.

Aria is anyway much more less dramatic,because while Clannad can be very tense at times,Aria is always laid back and relaxing...

anyway,these 2 animes are both a must watch,especially for the comedy/slice of life fans out there
Both talk about a parent who is trying to raise a child correctly, but has difficulties. And both talk about some people who try to find a path for their future.
Both endings are really sweet and touching. If you loved Clannad then you will love Kobato too.
Nana is about two girl who have a lot of problems in their life and have to keep struggling, just like Nagisa had to. Both anime made me laugh and cry. The first few episodes of Nana may seem childish or boring, but that's the same problem I had with Clannad, however, in the end, they both became my favourite animes.

This anime is recommended because the story is well made, romance and drama sets you to thinking about real life. Like Clannad this story will touch your emotions.

This anime has 26 nice episodes, the after story off this anime isn't shown but its readable in the manga. Still i recommend the anime and the manga to the fans of Clannad after story!


--------Story -----

Yamato Akitsuki travels to Tokyo alone to study in one of the high schools located within the area. He lives in with his aunt who operates a public bath solely for the ladies in the local district and begins his normal high-school life. One day, he chances upon a girl in school and is immediately mesmerised by her beauty. He is shocked when he realise later that the girl, Suzuka, is actually living next door to him. From then on, Yamato's ordinary life begins to change little by little.
Both series are technically solid, though plot and character-wise, they are sub-par.

Both series have one purpose: To prey on your emotion and to make you cry.

Both pull off drama and romance really well, but also have hilarious comedy.
If you liked very touching stories filled with love, like Clannad ~After Story~. Then Hanbu no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora would make it as another ideal anime that you should watch! Unlike Clannad ~After Story~, it's straight to the point without dragging it too long, explaining the short 6 episodes of the anime itself. A great short story!
Clannad ~AS~ may actually be slower-paced than H&C II, with both being peaceful slice-of-lifes tinged with despair. Very emotional stories, truly masterpieces.
The setting and concept is strongly similar yet the direction of the story goes on a different route. If you enjoyed Clannad, you will love this anime because both contains the same 'Key magic' and mysterious elements to the plot
A show that is very much emotional and heartfelt as the other.
Both Romance,School life,Similar story
I know it can be weird - Clannad to FMAB? But I think it's not so stupid. Both of this anime are about life - in FMAB life as a living armor, for example, but you must fight for happiness. In every world and circumstances - normal (as in Clannad) and fabulous (as FMAB).
They are both really good drama and romance animes.
They both have that calm feel to it. They talk about important values and they are both one of those nice, gentle anime.
main male lead is the same VA as Clannad's
Both are about abandoned children and they both have a touching story. You will shed manly tears by the end of both of them.
They both have Drama and Romance in there and both are really fun Anime's to watch with True Tears you have alot of Drama that you don't expect and the same happens in Clannad After Story both are very good Anime's
One of the stories in Clannad: After Story bears a striking resemblance to what might have been the after story of She & Her Cat.
both after tragedies.

they both are tear-jerks, and get the viewers attention!

both protagonists lose the people MOST precious to them.

the major difference is the time period of the setting.
and if people tell you to stay away from Clannad just because they say it's sad. do not listen.
that's why you must watch it, to realize the significance of human values and the value of LIFE!

this is all I'm going to say.
An experience Tomoya had in Clannad is similar to the one Kyon experiences. It is very similar.
Both these anime seem to have similar elements in them that are hard to fully explain with out leading to spoilers but definitely give off the same kind of feeling.
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
These anime are both very similar in the way that the male and female protagonist meet and an instant connection forms, and it almost seems they were "destined" to meet. Also, as the story progresses you see the relationship grow stronger. Both anime have a very emotional side to them, which really make you connect to the characters and their actions.
The side story in Clannad of the girl in the lost world coincides with the storyline of The Place Promised in Our Early Days. They carry the exact same sad empty atmosphere.

Both also regard young men going through hardships due to lost loves. Ah, serious complicated love.
Slice of life, and both with a good story
Both series tackles the importance of family.

♫same genres (Romance, Slice of Life)♫

♫both of these series take place in high schools♫
♫both have a good if not similar statement on how life can reward you♫
♫both have the same element of a rogue if not weird or questionable person changing over time♫
♫both have a similar pattern as to how the plot goes forward from its beginning♫
♫both of these anime would surely not disappoint the idle watcher and definitely not the hardcore otaku because they present a little bit of each genre of anime except machine/blood violence♫
♫same genres (Drama, Slice of Life)♫

♫both shows emphasize the concept finding your way when you feel lost in the world and feature a guy (Okazaki, Tomoya in Clannad ~After Story~ and Morimiya, Yorito in sola) who goes out of his way to help a lost girl (Furukawa, Nagisa in Clannad ~After Story~ and Shihou, Matsuri in sola)♫
♫they both start out light and become much heavier and more emotional as the story begins to unfold♫
♫they also both take place in the "real world", with the addition of some supernatural elements that are vital to the plot♫
♫both are bittersweet yet heartwarming shows that will make you laugh and cry, and are both incredible enjoyable shows♫
Both anime can be very tear jerking and really fun to watch with it's in depth characters
-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)

This anime also depicts the true love between the protagonists in my opinion..
But,CAS is far better than True Love Story in romantic concept..
They both involve similar animation and depp plots that make you wanna cry at the end but then end with a smile. they both are the deepest anime i have ever seen and teach you how to be a better person while giving you the entertainment of a extremely well written romance, comedy, drama.
If you liked the sort of melancholic atmosphere in Clannad, you'll probably enjoy the atmosphere in Cross Game. Also Baseball
You've seen one of these masterpieces and you don't know where to go next? Looking for something as brilliant and perfect which isn't a copy of the anime you just saw? This is it. Both are shinning pinnacles of slice-of-life, which may seem like a genre for which it is easy to produce animes, while in reality it's quite tricky to avoid all the pitfalls of mediocrity and make something so enjoyable and heartwarming as these two.
Both revolve mainly around a tragic romance but contain more to the series, making it all the more charming.
Both of them are very touching, and they have similar ending.
Both are poignant and dramatic animes. we see how the characters struggle emotionally and how they overcome their troubles throughout. Overall both very heartfelt :')
