don't let it's reputation as some kind of soul-crushing depression fest ruin your enjoyment.

The soul crushing part that finally happens in After Story is so effective because you got to also experience the happy times in season 1.

The first arc was kinda depressing to me idk. Fukos story is kinda sad and wholesome
As Long as the Sun, the moon, and the Earth exist, everything will be alright.

Look. The more you love the anime the more you cry at it. That is just what I can say

If you don’t like it then drop it. It’s a slow paced romance, that gradually builds the relation ship. It doesn’t really ever “get serious”. But I’d say it gets better in After Story

If you mean depressing, then there's some moments here and there, but the payoff doesn't come until After Story. 
If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that.

In season 1 I thought Fuuko's arc was pretty sad, but the real deal is the After Story
Nino is the objectively superior one, don't @ me

There's not just one story for this anime. The anime is mainly about Tomoya making new friends with a sad story. Like almost every visual novel. Some arcs in the first season are serious and sad. But the anime has more serious arcs in the second season.

If you don't like this type of anime, drop it.

This. The show is already serious and you should drop it if you don't like it.

Season 2. The first season is mostly the same as most romance anime but the after story will have you so hooked to it and actually have u wanting to know what happens next.

First season is basically a comedy drama. Shit starts to get more mature in the second season, and it hits like a jackhammer. I wasn’t really a huge fan of season 1 either, but man you have to push through it to experience the sensational second season.

It gets serious in the second season, but I do think the first season and first episodes of the second one makes the sad part hit even more emotionally.

I was also kind of disappointed when I first started watching Clannad since they said it was so good.
Then I started watching after story and I understood why it was good. Just keep watching.
yes.

in general, you should NEVER pass judgement on an anime until you finish it. There are so many anime i guarantee people would enjoy if they just sat through it.
