| It's too bad some people refuse to watch After Story because they assume it would be in the same level as Clannad in drama and execution. I kept insisting my brother to watch after story but he kept refusing because he couldn't stand watching the first season or rather couldn't stand most of the girls (Fuuko). So I told him he should start from episode 9 of After Story for the meat of the anime. It has been 3 years since. |
| No I don't think AS would have had as much of an impact on me if it wasn't for the first season, the first seasons built the emotional attachments I had with most of the characters and without this foundation AS wouldn't have been as powerful. |
 |
| No, and it's really as simple as that as far as I'm concerned. |

| No.. That's like saying "The third Lord of the Rings is the best one, so you should just skip the other two and go straight to the third!" |
 |
| I personally got attached to all of the characters in the 1st season. To the point where for the second season, I was already very familiar with them and cared about them because of what they had experienced in the first season already. It pretty much makes all of their interractions and all the events in the 2nd season have much more meaning and context. If you take out the 1st season, the emotional moments and the character interaction wouldn't have as much of an impact because you wouldn't feel as connected to the characters, you would know less about the characters too. Also, people tend to rave about the emotional moments of the 2nd season. But I wholeheartedly enjoyed the first season in all of its zanyness and school fun. |

| no... |
| Front Hooks...Oh yeah... |
| Well, I don't see how you can ask this question without providing a way to get around not having character development and a lack of certain plot details. I do think that they could have been more straightforward with who was the character Tomoya would choose and not have to introduce every character in a detailed fashion to please those that messed around with the VN. |

| hell yes. season 1 was straight trash. need less trash and more good stuff. clannad should have only had one season tbh. and cut it to like 22 eps. 1st 11, i guess you have to have the crappy school life chit, then the second half, the last 11 when they graduate from high school, and the good stuff actually starts. that would've been way better to me. especially since tomoya's like the only good character in the show, so focusing on him without the other whores getting in the way is better. oh...and sunohara gets no love. |

I agree with you for the most part. Everyone needs to realize though that this is an adaptation of a Visual Novel. Remember that adapting a VN with as many different routes and as much detail as Clannad into an anime form is very difficult. I believe they executed it very well all things considered. I also think that in the anime, they were trying to show how Tomoya got so close to all these people but ultimately ended up with Nagisa. As the saying goes: It's about the quest, not the destination. |

| >Would it be better if Clannad was just After Story?? No. It's would be the same as watching it backwards. In a nutshell: "Who the fuck is Fuko/ Illu. World girl/ Mei/ Yoshino/ Nagisa/ Tomoya?" "What is wrong with this Nagisa?" "What the hell is Sanae's bread?" And when we get to the punchline of the last ep, a big round "WAT?" |
| It would be better if Clannad never existed To answer your question, yes. One reason why I liked Kanon so much was because it was much shorter and accomplished the same thing as Clannad. |

| Clannad is there to get attached to the characters. Not all of it is required to be able to feel the after story but either way having more good anime is never a bad thing. |

Going to the clannad sub forum usually takes too much effort. |
