I've seen all three, Air, Clannad, and Kanon (2006). Now that I look back on Air, it wasen't too great. Clannad I just recently finished. Very funny, but the girl the main character chose pissed me off. And even though Kanon just made no sense in the end. I still like it the best for some reason :/

I had to vote for Air, it personifies the very essence of a summer breeze. Clannad would be in second because of the characters. And, Kanon just didn't pull me in like the other two have.


i agree with the order but i really liked kanon a lot, but since i watched it after clannad, i just didn't feel the same emotions because it felt like i just saw it.

and air is just amazing.

Kanon (2006) > Clannad > Air ... the 3 of them are masterpieces, though ^^

Maybe if Air had more episodes it could have gone deeper into the story, and possibly had more votes

the fact that this topic is posted in Clannad's thread is a BIG bias

anyway... haven't seen Clannad yet, but between Air(tv) and Kanon(2006), I'd go with Air anyday

Air, BANZAI!!

I'm gonna have to say Clannad is first, Kanon second, and Air third. I like Clannad more because it has very apect the others do plus comedy. Clannad was the first anime that made me laugh out loud.

Kanon second because there's more depth into each character's story and all the characters are different from each other and enjoyable.

Air is third because although it's the saddest of the three (After Story i well on it's way to topping it), I didn't like most of the characters, Yukito and Misuzu being the only excepts. There were some things that weren't explained too, about the girled wings and

I think it's still too early for this poll, Clannad isn't finished yet so it's unfair to compare it with two completed anime, and the best things are still coming. If Kyoani does a good job, I can see Clannad as the best of those three in terms of story. Animation/presentation-wise Kanon is a bit better than Clannad, but the latter is much longer so it's more difficult to uphold the high animation standard.

I think that all three of them are masterpieces, but at this point I go for Kanon.

Hey look I balanced out the poll between Kanon and Clannad xD

Clannad 177 43.17%
Kanon (your vote) 177 43.17%

Kanon was more sad than Clannad was to me, and while Air was probably supposed to deliver the most emotional hits, the short episode count doesn't really get you to that point. With 24 episodes, Kanon can get you to the point of "wtf T_T" at least twice (well, twice for me anyway).

I'll probably watch Air once more these days, and see if I feel any different, but I'm not really sure about that.

Thaink of it this way:
Kanon had a remake
Clannad had a sequal
What about Air?? It is the shortest of the three but it's #1 in my book. (I'll probably update this once I've finished Kanon)

Yeah, Air gets the least amount of attention and respect even though it is a excellent show. Air deserves a remake, but that is another story, now back on topic;
Out of 10 , this is what I think each deserve

Clannad= 8 (After story so far is a 10, better than the original, but Clannad is still a great show)

Kanon:2006=9;2002=10(don't call me crazy for giving 2002 Kanon a 10 and 2006 Kanon a 9: aside from Mai's arc and the the animation, I believe the 2002 version is better because of how things aren't dragged out and how it isn't as boring compared to how some of the arcs were in the 2006 version)

Air=10( it was more emotionally impacting than the other 2( though Clannad AS is getting there).
I also think it is the most unique out of the three, though the other ones are still excellent shows

My personal favorite based on enjoyment would be Clannad because of the comedy and the characters,
but based on storyline and being emotionally impacting, the choice is Air( Clannad AS would get this vote but it is not a choice on the poll and it is not finished as of yet)

Just wanted to ask everyone which anime they prefer thusfar?
Honestly it's a hard decision for me, but right now I'd say Clannad is in the lead, probably just because it's new, but to be honest I think Clannad is a lot funnier than either series, but Air was probably the most touching and sad anime of the series i've seen.
Still I give Clannad my vote for now, we'll have to see what happens when the series is over though huh?


I don't think Clannad's humour clicks right. I just don't think their jokes are funny.
I'm going with Air, it's an anime that gives me peace of mind

Clannad, not a doubt in my mind when I saw the poll.

I love both Kanon(2006) and Clannad almost equally, but Clannad wins because of Okazaki Tomoya and Sunohara combanation is far too interesting compared to the male cast of Kanon.

As for females, Mai and Shiori is up with kyou, Nagisa, Kotomi and Tomoyo.

Plot wise, Kanon, although the Ayu arc is kinda weak.
Comedy wise... I think we all have to agree with Clannad.
Character wise, Clannad, I already stated the reasons above.
Music... Clannad's wins, not saying Kanon is bad (In fact I love them, especially Mai's theme), but Clannad's music is just far too great.

I was at the verge of thinking Kanon might be my new favorite show, Ayu's arc is just too weak, thus giving Clannad the edge. If Ayu arc was as good as Mai's or Shiori's I'd definitely go for Kanon as my favorite of the 3.

I believe that AIR need a 24 episode remake. The show just seem very rushed to me, I can't really develop much love for any of the characters, besides Haruko and Misuzu. The other cast just introduced, then give a crisis, then solved, not much story about them.

However, AIR is a very beautiful show nonetheless.

I would say because the other two are more complete than Clannad, Clannad has a slightly smaller edge than the other two. However, if anything, Clannad excelled in the character department; and the fact that there was after story and more well rounded, focused plot and thematics made Clannad slightly better than Air and Kanon, although all three were great.

Just watch in whatever order you want. They're not related so it doesn't matter. For me it was:
Air
Kanon
Clannad

Air was one of my first anime ever and I didn't know shit about anime except what I saw on Cartoon Network (which is a pretty limited and distorted view) and after watching it the first time I was like WTF. I didn't know about visual novels so I was confused why the story was all broken up.

Very varied opinions o this, but I'm going to say Clannad because of its themes, although Air and Kanon get special mention because they are more of a "drama" at this point. Clannad has better comedy though.

Well now, is it truly fair if you're going to post a Clannad VS Kanon VS Air poll when you're posting it on a Clannad forum and the Kanon fans don't see it (even then you'll have to go to page 2). It's pretty impressive Kanon got 200 votes in a Clannad forum. Like a guy said just now, posting this in the Clannad forum guarantess Clannad winning :S
