I've seen all of Key's works and none are like Clannad,especially After Story. I've seen Itazura na Kiss which to date is the closes 1 but not quite as good.I've seen Ef,Aishiteruze Baby,Anohana and just about everything people say that is like it but they are not. I need 1 that is very close to watch Clannad/After Story did.

The only thing I can think of that might be worth trying (although doubt it will be too similar if the other Key anime weren't) is Lamune ... I am not too sure what else to say, though I am curious what exactly you are looking for in the anime, did you want an anime that goes from the beginning of the relationship through marriage? Cause that is the only similarity between Clannad and Itazura na Kiss that I can think of... I would say though that Clannad's tone was somewhat unique of Key anime and it's plot (the whole romance going that far) is also just a unique plot in terms of anime (a few more manga have it but not too many manga either), so not sure you will find one just like Clannad.

In Death Note the main couple ends up living together, can't remember if they were married.

You're asking for spoilers, lol. But don't worry, romance in Death Note has nearly nothing to do with the story itself.

I don't see the relation between Death Notes and Clannad being that "big".

OP, frankly I don't understand what particularly of Clannad you want an anime to have. If you want "drama", then most of the one you watched are similar to it. However, if you are looking for something different that is particular to Clannad only, you should explain it better.

Why do people on this site seem to always give such high ratings to depressing animes. I mean, this anime the two character Misa and Light
.

It leads me to believe that there are a lot of emo people on this site, who simple enjoy feeling depressed. I mean what's the deal?!?

I see more high ratings and recommendations and even requests for sad, depressing, life is crap type animes then anything else. And it simply makes me wonder about people.

Side note, I somewhat include Clannad in that because about a third of the episodes are rather depressing and sad.

A "happy ending" isn't always a synonym of "great". If the story is good, I don't mind a sad ending.

Ok, a good story and good ending don't always go hand in hand...but why does that mean settling for a sad ending? To me, that just ruins the whole anime. I simply can't fathom sad ending, every time I've seen one it just makes me feel as though I've wasted my time on that anime.

Its a bit hard to find other anime with those particular requirements, you might give these a try cause i thought they deserve a 10, maybe you will to:
Angel Beats!
Bakemonogatari
Mirai Nikki
Ookami to Koushinryou ( this is my personal favorite )
Sword Art Online ( this goes upto marrige, but its got action too )
Zero no Tsukaima

hope this helped

No to Mirai Nikki, Sword Art Online, Bakemonogatari. They are not similar. SAO is not even family. It's fake and has no heartwarming moments.

Fake is kinda strong. But unfortunately fitting.

The first half (SAO arc) could've really kicked some people in the balls if they decided to end it right there.

The ALF arc really kicked the show into subtier status though =/
I mean, the impact of dying in a game. That feeling really kicked the emotions and characterization in the first half. After they took that out in the next arc, it all felt "meh."

To be honest, that is what for me set clannad apart, you got to watch people go from high school to marriage to real life issues, money problems, jobs, etc etc While I'm not saying its the ONLY one in its existence, lets be honest It RARELY happens unless it is the absolute focus point of the series.

Ok some of them are laughable, but not really on par with Clannad in terms of romance.. while they are all good romance isn't a focal point of really any of them except for SAO which is still questionable.

I believe he suggeted them based off the fact that they lead into a romantic relationship, but compared to clannad they are nill in terms of romance.

Something like Toradora Maybe, but even that isn't on par with the romance from clannad, and by romance I mean relationship development, not being asked out the last 2 episodes. (Not in anyway a spoiler, watch it yourself it's just an example)

Itazura Na Kiss is a good one if you like watching developing relationships, goes from school to marriage to work life to child which is brilliant, lots of laughs.

Really?

I like me some Clannad, but there really isnt much Romance in Clannad. Everything in Clannad is incredibly forced, and the "romance" period only lasts about 8 episodes.

Then its back to blatantly obvious attempts to make you cry using fan memorial service.

At least in ToraDora the characters feel like actual people, and not just tools to cause cheap feels with the audience.

Toradora as much as I liked it is no where near Clannad in anything
8 episodes of a period of romance uh? well thats better then the guy telling the girl how he feels in the last episode and after that you never know what happend with them, did they stay together or broke up? Toradora was forced, how did they decided to get married before they went on a date,they didnt even officially started going out when they decided to get married, wtf is that?

Thx for the recs every 1, *cough* not much help *cough*

Mirai Nikki's good but very disturbing and...it's not like Clannad/InK at all. Bakemonogatari is different too. And...SAO...just no. Sorry, call me a hater but I just don't recommend it because it's a waste of time. The first arc could have done better but it's nowhere near good to me.
