I guess out of boredom, but Clannad has been on my mind lately again, and I want to find an anime quite similar to it's nature, if there are any, because I think it's the tragedy-romance kind of anime like this that I really enjoy the most.

Could you give me a basic idea on what exactly Toradora is about? I've seen some clips regarding it, and it just seems so weird that it's a high school drama, but that girl is carrying around a wooden sword...

Try:

Ef ~ A tale of memories
Ef ~ A tale of melodies
Air
Kanon
Chobits

A lot of these are Key anime, done by the same studio as Clannad. I haven't seen all of them but I've heard they're good.

Yea it is a shonen XD

No but seriously, Its about comedy, romance, and drama in school live. The main character is a dude who lives with his host ( very hot) mom. The female main character truns to be living next door of the guy. It's actually all about the little tsundre girl Taiga. They try to help each other eventually to meet there love ones. And other stuff that happens on school.

I tried... three times. No use. It's just too boring for me. Might get in my 40s and then try again.

Well lots of people also say your second favourite Angel Beats is horrible too, if you go about it like that you could potentially miss out on some future favourites. Just saying.

Hmm all the ones I was gonna suggest are already posted but ill second their notion.
Angel Beats
Toradora.

Little Busters!
The first season was a mediocre adaptation of the VN, but the second season is going to come out soon, and personally, i found the 2nd part in the VN, (Known as Refrain) to be better than Afterstory.
It follows the general Key Studio plotline with multiple heroine routes like it was with Clannad.

Lots of people say lots of stuff is horrible. All I can say is get used to the idea that people have diversified opinions that will often be drastically different from yours. There are haters for every series.

An average rating of 8.3+ is pretty high as far as MAL goes. I have not seen Ef yet but I have it on good authority that it is supposed to be good from someone whose favorite genre of anime is romance and he has 300+ anime under his belt.
