Well hello there, my fellow anime aficionados! Today, we're going to take a look at Clannad: After Story - Mou Hitotsu no Sekai, Kyou-hen, and let me tell you, this show is the bee's knees!

Let's start with the story. It's deep, emotional, and it hits you right in the feels. You'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll come out the other side feeling like you just went through an emotional rollercoaster. The plot twists are as unpredictable as my ex-gf mood swings, and I absolutely loved it. Score: 8/10.

Finally, the experience of watching this anime is something that I'll never forget. It's not often that a show comes along and grabs hold of your heart like this one did. I laughed, I cried, and I was left with a sense of awe at the end of it all. It's like I just went on a spiritual journey, but without all the annoying yoga poses. Score: 8/10.

Overall, It's a beautiful, emotional masterpiece that will leave you breathless. Score: 8.4/10. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to re-watch the entire series and cry my eyes out all over again.

I'm thrilled that this isn't the cannon ending. I hate love triangles. I hate the stupid high school drama it introduces when you force love triangles into a story. It's a played out obnoxious trope and I don't think anybody has ever genuinely wanted to see more of them in fiction.

Not only that but this story completely ignores Nagisa, and she gets sidelined to probably die alone unfulfilled and never having completed her goal of restarting the theater club. This is clearly a dark timeline bad ending and anyone who thinks otherwise is objectively wrong. There were no Kyou stans. It just isn't something that ... exists. I'd buy a Fuuko ending before I enjoy watching this.

So yeah both sisters are the worst, my favorite episode of the main show was when they both realized they didn't have a chance and started crying, couldn't have been a happier moment. I give this bad end a 5/10, please return the 22 minutes I spent watching it.

I actually watched this about 9 years ago so I don't remember how much it differs from the VN, but it should basically be Kyou's route so I'll talk about this.

This is by far the worst route in Clannad. Scratch that, this is by far the worst route in all of Key's works. And Kyou is by far the worst character to ever come out of this great company. Everybody makes mistakes I guess. (you can find a detailed tier list on my profile in which I put Kyou on the "Please Die" Tier.)
She is a manipulative psycho with murderous tendencies, and she doesn't think ... twice before throwing heavy objects on people from multiple floors up or trying to run them over with her scooter. Then she laughs it off. Psycho. The fact that nobody has ever tried to get her to a psychiatrist (or better yet, report her to police) is actually baffling to me.

Alright, onto the story ! (spoilers ahead)
So Kyou learns that her little sister is in love with one of her classmates, so she does the most twisted thing she could probably come up with in that rotten mind of hers: She first pushes her sister to make a move, then when the two are dating, and Ryou is falling more and more in love and invested in the relationship, she goes to great lengths to try and ruin it all, even cutting her hair to look like her sister and stealing her BF from her. WTF.
This is so messed up. I was actually feeling more and more sick the more I was reading Kyou's route. Like actually physically sick to my stomach. This girl is an actual demon. I was so happy when it was finally over and I could read an actual heartwarming story next and try to forget all about this one. If you find yourself playing Clannad, just make the right choice and stay with Ryou, then act like Kyou's route doesn't exist (Actually you'll have to play it to get to after story, but just hold ctrl or something).
Key themselves must have realized how saddening and disgusting this route was because they at least had the decency of giving Ryou an happy ending in the epilogue where she ends up with the guy her sister had previously ran over then left unconscious on the side of the road while running away from the scene (Yes, this is a crime.) He could have been dead for all she knew. Thankfully he survived but family reunions on his GF side must probably trigger his PTSD, Poor guy. He's a great guy too, unlike Tomoya who is a real PoS in Kyou's route. Ryou is such a sweet girl too, she really didn't deserve satan reincarnated as her sister.

Music is great I guess. 1/10
