I would just like some feedback and feelings on it. Everywhere I look/ask people recommend it but there are people who say it is boring and a complete waste of time. Thoughts?

I want to see if it can fill the void that Angel Beats left on me.

Every anime is worth the watch, you don't know when you might stumble upon an anime thay you'll really like despite others saying it's bad. It's up to you, ignore the rest~

Well, both Angel Beats and Clannad/AS are by Keys, so I'd say yes, if you're looking for that stuff, especially After Story.

I want this anime to make me cry like Angel Beats.

Im unempathetic and very insensitive. I kept my emotions bundled up too long and it feels good to let it all out.

Is this sad?

Season 1 is just character building but you WILL cry during season 2. Its x10 sadder then angel beats, trust me.

It's definitely sad, especially After Story.

But you must watch Clannad first to get the full experience in After Story.

i didnt like it mostly cause of the annoying characters, moe artstyle an otaku drama, also the show is actually very happy an positive so i dunno if it ll make you cry (i didnt)

if what you want is to cry then why not watch an extremely depressing anime? like Grave of the Fireflies or maybe Now and Then, Here and There

It definitely is worth the watch.
The first season is just character build-up and I don't remember whether it has any sad moments or not. But you have to watch it in order to get the full emotional experience After story has to deliver.

Nope Shuffle and Clannad are completely different anime.
This anime is similar to Angel Beats.
And if you are looking for something that makes you cry i would recommend Air as well.

I've watched the first 13 episodes, and so far I'm really enjoying it, despite it being slower paced than others I've watched previously. I was pleasantly surprised by it, due to the excessive complaining from others before about how 'boring' it was.

Well that may be going a bit far, I personally found both Air and Kanon more evocative out of Key's big 3, but yeah, absolutely no reaction from Clannad is possibly indicative of hollow ribcage syndrome.

And even if you can't find the emotional parts stirring, if you in addition are unable to laugh at Fuko's "helpful" appearances after her story wraps up, you may need a funny bone donor STAT.

Clannad is a School life anime with some romance and comedy, that's it.

After Story is the praised one, amazing "entry level" anime.

Clannad is awesome but it doesn't really get amazing till the 2nd season. The animation isn't bad, the music is good and this show will depress the hell out of you, well unless you have a heart of steel.

Season 1 is just character development, Season 2 is when you get hit over the head with the emotional baseball bat.

yes because compressing 100+ hours of content into like 2 hours is a great idea for an anime. add in the awful animation and you have the worst adaptation of all time.

OT: keep watching. The second season is the critically acclaimed one.

Clannad's main storyline only really needed two hours to work (the fact that it's actually 90 minutes doesn't help)

I never said it was good. Just a more presentable version for folks that aren't interested in seeing a bunch of irrelevant side-stories. The animation is pretty bad though.

The side stories are there for a reason, to build character development, to make you feel more for the characters. I doubt anyone would get emotional if they just jumped right into afterstory

Clannad is one of the worst shows I have ever seen.

Clannad After Story is one of the best shows I have ever seen.

The way I see it is basically ~30 episodes of mediocrity followed by ~10 episodes of pure brilliance. Yes, it is worth it.

It's not harem, it's because it was based on visual novel.

Also just keep watching. Even if you don't like Clannad you will probably like After Story

Actually, it is a harem. Only two female characters I can think of were not implied to have romantic interest in Okazaki.

And Fade is correct, overall the series is horrible however episodes 10-19 of After Story are amazing.

Well you can say that, what I was trying to say that the show was trying to cope with visual novel base that gives the player a choice.

It's alright. Not the most emotional anime I've ever seen, but it delivers a heartwarming story. But it did not make me cry, while everyone else told me it would. It was disappointing in that aspect.

I heard the VN was better though.
