I'm up to around the 7th episode in after story. I thought the first Clannad was a masterpiece, but Clannad after the story is a bit lackluster. Does it get good soon?

After Story is pretty much several episodes of usual Clannad thing followed by the core which is Nagisa route. It does take some time to it.
Iirc the 9th episode is the start of main story.

If you like the OG Clanned then just wait because you are definitely going to cry after some ep.

The first couples arcs in the first 9 eps of After Story are bad but the rest afterwards sans the finale is peak clannad and the only time it is above average.

Agreed, it’s a slow build up but really worth it. Afterstory can feel really different because the cast is stripped back and the setting changes, but I’m glad I stuck with it.

What do you mean by “original”? After Story is just season 2 of clannad..

First season is a rather generic, but still good harem and painfully obvious VN adaptation.
But the real good stuff this series is so well known for starts once Tomoya graduates highschool and starts adult life. Your patience will be rewarded big time.

Because the first Season is there to bring you close to the characters and after story to emotional break you.

People think "there are sad scenes, so it's a masterpiece". Why do many people want only dramatic scenes? Just like Little Busters. The first season gets hate and gets called "boring", but the second season, wich is only dramatic, gets called fantastic. That makes no sense.

Clannad is good since episode 1 imo.

Patience is the key.

They are both masterpieces but After Story was beyond my imaginations.

Because such Animes try to bring you first of all pretty close to the characters which can be boring, because half of those feel like some fillers which are not connected to the main story (In particular people who normally dont watch slice of life/drama animes feel that way) that might be a reason why so many find the beginnings of such Animes boring.

Yeah you kind of have to make it though the first 9 episodes of After Story before it starts doing something different than in the first one. Personally, I loved After Story, but I think it spent too many episodes on wrapping up what the first season started and not enough episodes on the actual after story.
