I enjoyed Tomoyo's a lot more, Kyou's would've been better if they expanded upon it more (it should have been longer than it was).

Tomoyo's OVA was fantastic, but Kyou was one of my favorite characters. As of now, I guess i'll go with Tomoyo. But, Kyou's story is a fine example of how to do a love triangle RIGHT.

I wish both had more than one episode, though. Especially Kyou's.

I enjoyed both OVAs a lot. I love Kyou but story-wise, the Tomoyo story was better. However, the way they animated Kyou's episode with the juxtapositions used all the time was great as well. I can't really say which one I liked more. The whole Clannad franchise is just beautiful, to quote what aero said.

Even though both arcs within the visual novel were excellent Tomoyo's OVA was done better in my opinion, mainly because I found it to be too short.

However, having said all this, KEY still did another magnificent job, creating another beautiful OVA.

Yeah, but she did that in the Visual Novel too. I never did quite get why she did, though.

She cut her hair because she wanted the love from Tomoya that she couldn't get because he was dating her sister, Ryou. So she cut her hair so she can look like Ryou and pretend to be her to go on a date with Tomoya.

As for the two OVAs, Tomoyo's was a lot more touching and Kyou's had a pretty slow beginning which is why it felt like it was too short. Tomoyo's OVA was fit perfectly in the 24mins time frame.

Kyou is by far my favorite character / arc, so it's hard to judge without my own bias... Kyou's arc had a LOT to fit in, and I thought they did a great job of boiling it down to one episode. Tomoyo's arc was very well done, and went at a smoother, slower pace than Kyou's. Still, I'll have to go with Kyou's.

Guys thats the whole point... she cut her hair because she wanted Tomoya to stay with Ryou, even though she really liked him too. Everything she was doing was contrary to how she really felt, and she thought that she really wanted to help Ryou... but it was just hurting her.

I would say Kyou chapter without any doubts, but as many said, that it would have been better if it have been made into a movie, or a longer OVA.

See, that goes against Kyou's selfless attitude so I doubt that was why she did it. Plus, she acts nothing like her sister.

So, I think what eggman said makes more sense for her character.

Oh, and by the way: I watched Kyou's ova again. I actually enjoyed it more the second time, so maybe i'll end up liking it more in the long run.

Tomoyo chapter was by far superior.

Not just as stand-alone, but also as the OVA or 24th episode
that completed the masterpiece that was Clannad.

The Kyou chapter was more like a special, an extra.

Tomoyo Ova was better, Kyou irritated me a lot in her OVA.
Kyou OVA was good but nothing compared to Tomoyo OVA, I like Kyou OVA a little because I discovered more about Ryou and her personality, and she really rocks.

Personally, as characters -- I prefer Kyou over Tomoyo. Kyou simply appears to be more... lively.

However, as far as the OVA's... the Tomoyo OVA appears to be better executed. Better story flow and makes a bit more sense.

I haven't watched Kyou's OVA yet, but imo the Tomoyo one is clearly made in response to the clamoring visual novel players. I would imagine people watching the OVA without playing through the game to be missing out on a LOT, seeing as how it's an entire route condensed into 1 episode and labeled as AU due to the Tomoyo x Tomoya setting..

I don't really remember Tomoyo's Arc as that I watched it several months ago but I did give it a "10". I just watched Kyou's Arc and gave it a "10" too. Honestly, I don't know which one is better for the obvious reason and I don't plan on re-watching Tomoyo's Arc either.

Watching the anime makes it somewhat pointless to play the visual novel as that you will get the "Endless Eight" deja vu feeling.

There's a LOT to the visual novel than anime, both in Clannad and in general. Just because KyoAni follows Key's work closely doesn't mean they didn't cut out parts. Obviously, 48 episodes isn't nearly enough to cover 100+ hours of gameplay (50 if you are really, really fast)

For the story Tomoyo's is much better, but her "expressionless-beautiful-face" makes me unattracted..

I liked Kyou's expression more, but the story is too short or maybe too "Accelerated"

I adore Kyou and find her as the best couple with Tomoya, but Tomoyo's arc was way better by a long shot in my eyes.

Kyou's story is better, but it was too short as a lot of people say. I like Tomoyo's arc because it touched me more then Kyou's.

i liked kyou's chapter better, it also seemed more liekly because in episode 23 it hints at the fact that she probably liked him when she saw him sleeping. Tomoya's chapter seemed slower and not as exciting.

Both of them are good, but i think that there need more episodes for every girl (not enough information in one episode) i've played game so i'm ok but others may have some problems with understanding situation

Maybe Key was showing only the ending because if they make it a 2 or more episodes..

I'm a Nagisa fan so I guess I really don't mind >_<... But I think Kyou's deserved more time (and they should probably make special 2) and Tomoyo's was a little too emotional.

Anyway... they're both great, but I think I like Kyou's better.

Both of them were good in my opinion, but the Tomoyo arc was better told within the 23-24 minutes. I liked the playing Kyou's arc in the visual novel better than Tomoyo's, but Kyou's OVA was quished in the little time frame and was rushed. Therefore, I prefer Tomoyo's OVA better.
