Synopsis

Tomoya Okazaki is a delinquent who finds life dull and believes he'll never amount to anything. Along with his friend Youhei Sunohara, he skips school and plans to waste his high school days away.

One day while walking to school, Tomoya passes a young girl muttering quietly to herself. Without warning she exclaims "Anpan!" (a popular Japanese food) which catches Tomoya's attention. He soon discovers the girl's name is Nagisa Furukawa and that she exclaims things she likes in order to motivate herself. Nagisa claims they are now friends, but Tomoya walks away passing the encounter off as nothing.

However, Tomoya finds he is noticing Nagisa more and more around school. Eventually he concedes and befriends her. Tomoya learns Nagisa has been held back a year due to a severe illness and that her dream is to revive the school's drama club. Claiming he has nothing better to do, he decides to help her achieve this goal along with the help of four other girls.

As Tomoya spends more time with the girls, he learns more about them and their problems. As he attempts to help each girl overcome her respective obstacle, he begins to realize life isn't as dull as he once thought.

Note: This will be a review of both the first season and "After Story".

Overview:
Key, a studio under the company Visual Arts, are very well-known for creating some of the most emotional, tearjerking visual novels you could find anywhere, and Kyoko Animation have done a fine job of translating these heartfelt stories into animated form (which, for a visual novel, is a lot more difficult than you would probably think). "Clannad", an anime whose name is taken from the Irish word for "family", is considered by many to be the magnum opus of both studios, and for good reason, as it is, bar none, the best ...

Edit - watch this if you’re going to watch clannad after story I don’t really like season 1 but look at it as an introduction to the world and the characters and you’ll love after story (season 2)


The show is really weird to me like I enjoyed it, but I didn’t understand what’s going on because there isn’t really a story it’s just the main character helping all of his friends with their own issues but it doesn’t really explain them

for example the first mini story I didn’t understand until two episodes before that story ended so I didn’t really understand it and ...

This show is an absolute disaster. The main character, Okazai, is incredibly bland, though still somewhat tolerable, as is Sunohara. Then there is Fuko, whose presence is nothing short of infuriating. Her voice, demeanor, and entire existence are exasperating beyond belief. However, the most detestable character of all is Nagisa. No words can fully capture the sheer hatred this character inspires. Feeble-minded, weak, and unbearably fragile, she is an insufferable presence. How anyone could possibly relate to or enjoy this character is incomprehensible. Her voice is grating, akin to nails on a chalkboard.

Even her father’s sacrifice, abandoning his dreams of becoming an actor ...
