Out of Air, Kanon, Clannad, Clannad After Story, Angel Beats and Melacholny of Haruhi Suzumiya which do you think is the weakest adaption made by KyoAni? (Key did the Visual Novels)

Please don't flame (i.e Air because it was s***)

If you could point out the flaws in each anime that would be better.

I personally think all of them are fantastic but I will probably go with Angel Beats because it seemed unfinished to me.

All of them had noticeable flaws,i.e. Haruhi (Endless Eight,god knows what the hell they were smoking when they decided to do those),Clannad After Story (ending was rushed,really rushed.),Angel Beats (ending seemed rushed too,and a few stuff weren't explained,like what happened to the other characters,existence of God in the anime,etc.). Haven't watched Air or Kanon,planning to though. I'm not an expert on this,just my honest opinions. Please correct me where I'm wrong. And why so few KyoAni anime?

I'll have to say Angel Beats because I thought it was boring, and the story was uninteresting. Nothing that happened in that setting mattered at all and I couldn't finish it.

That's why I said KyoAni. Key did the visual novels for Air, Kanon and Clannad and also Little Busters which is on the way to being an anime.

If I'm to answer OP's question...

Munto. Just Munto. And it was pretty and somewhat awesome too.

Endless Eight shows a sneak peek of Yuki's view. Although my view of this sneak peek is public. I haven't watched Hyouka yet but I think it will be good stuff.

Angel Beats.
As a child, I was told that society is a melting pot of talents; knowledge and experience combined to form important alloys that will contribute to mankind. When I got to highschool, however, I thought that it's more like a river in which the water represents our peers while we ourselves are the stones in the river. Constant erosion by mindless majority sheeping has made us lose our unique edge. After I hit the age of 18, I realized that I've been wrong all along. Society is no melting pot. Society is no river. Society is a person, a very skilled rapist, and he has fucked us all.

So because they're the 'leaders' of the moe boom they're weak?

To answer the OP's question:

Air is the weakest to me. I felt it was too short for me to get emotionally attached to the characters like Kanon and Clannad. I felt almost nothing when it ended.

You liked E8 despite it adapting one chapter of the novel into 8 needless episodes? What happened to "Source is King."

Also a few minor differences does not mean the art style changed. It's just what happens when you adapt one medium to another. 2006 Kanon looks like the VN, only alot better.

I should clarify things first to you that Haruhi isn't a Key adaptation, it's an adaptation from Nagaru Tanigawa's light novel. :)

As for the KyoAni's Key adaptation, I generally agree with Sicchan. Angel Beats melodrama just doesn't feel quite right with many unexplained characters' backstory. To answer your question regardless of the anime studio that adapted Key's work, Angel Beats is considerably the "weakest". But if that's KyoAni weakest anime that you ask, I'd say it is Haruhi's second season, the reason is mainly because of the Endless Eight episodes.

To answer the topic: I actually cannot answer this, short of Haruhi Suzumiya I did not enjoy any of the others ones. Angels Beats was good. Air was meh. I do not think I could watch either Kanon or Clannad.

Pretty sure Air's ending was one of the more notable parts of the series. Though it would have had much more impact if the characters were sufficiently developed.

Anyway, Air is my choice. Without a doubt.

Not being fan of KyoAni at all (or any other studio except TYO) - they do great movies, both Haruhi and k-On were very nice
series are different matter, weakest for me are

Lucky Star - didn't finish so maybe it changes but Haruhi references, well it was a bit too much of those for my taste. Plus as much as I like series about nothing, this didn't had appealing characters (not studio fault but it goes for series).

Haruhi - first season was quite nice but also E8 o.O like if it would take 4 episodes it would be fine but this time they went to far (AFAIR it had like 30 pages in novel). Still other parts of novels are harder to make so maybe they went just with some fillers?

Air - this one I saw long time ago but I remember one thing: it had very nice "central theme" but after some introduction episodes there were other arcs (I suppose) - about some girl on a roof and there was one other... my feeling, that I can recall even now, was WTF is this?! it would be way better if they stick up with main route/theme/whatever

I could say also about Hyouka but this is still in progress so it may turn good even.

I didnt like Air at all, the first half was ok but the second half devolved into what I felt was nonsense.

Behind that and not by much is K-ON, I simply didnt like the first season and most of the second at all. The movie saved it though in my opinion.

I'm inclined to say Nichijou but I dropped that before I got too far. Air was rather meh to me but at least the ending was fantastic compared to what Kanon (2006) and Clannad After Story dealt us.

The weakest KyoAni anime would have to be Haruhi '09. Call it Kodansha's fault or whatever but even the most stalwart fans of the series would be hard-pressed to not be offended by Endless Eight.

Without a single doubt Munto TV is the worst anime that Kyoani has produced. I mean seriously, it turned from a slice of life romance to a fantasy setting that didn't make sense at all, with magic circles and explosions everywhere.

Copying it exactly isn't neccessarily better. Kanon 2002 looks horrible, while 2006 is one of the prettiest anime out there. Besides, just because the 2002 is closer, doesn't mean the 2006 one is so radically different that it's in a totally different art style...because it isn't. It's certainly nowhere near as heavily altered as the Higurashi anime compared to the un-patched VN.

As a KyoAni fanboy, yes, I'm pretty sure.

P.A works was the studio that made Angel Beats. I think people are confusing Key with KyoAni which is understandable given the fact that KyoAni adapted Air, Kanon, and Clannad.

I genuinely wonder this too. Most people get over the elitist phase of"X anime is the best thing ever and nothing you tell me will change my mind otherwise," after watching a dozen or so series.

As for the topic,
Haruhi 1 was gloriously animated but I wasn't too crazy about the changes to the face that they made in Haruhi 2 and onward.

Clannad. This series is just another stereotypical tear-jerking harem marketed as something exceptional. There was really no coherent storyline or underlying theme, besides which female character the male protagonist eventually ended up with.
