Perfect final episode to a perfect anime. Tomoya's fantasies were hilarious and Nagisa and Tomoya were so cute at the end. I can't wait to watch After story and the episode 24 OVA which I will watch when I'm finished typing this. I give Clannad a 10 out of 10! P.S. Once Tomoya said that "No one was watching" at the beginning, I knew Kyou would come on her BI, but didn't we all!

god damn... no matter how hard i try i just can't bring myself to like nagisa's character, but oh well i don't know why Tomoya go so hooked on her, i saw it more as a best friends scenario. Good anime though if you exclude the fuko arc (i'm sorry)

My gosh, I have never in my life seen a more awkward couple than Tomoya and Nagisa. Their date was so embarrassing it was difficult to watch.

That said, it's easily one of the most hilarious episodes in the series. Pretty awesome anime overall. I'll give it a 7/10 - very good.

I still wish Tomoya would've went with one of the other girls, though. Kotomi would've been best, though perhaps Tomoyo or Kyou would've been bold enough to actually advance their relationship. Then again, neither were bold enough to admit their feelings to him, so maybe not.

Yeaa , I'm lame and I know it.
Watching Clannad had been one of my precious moments of all time since I've ever watch anime. Laughed a lot , cried a lot , smiled a lot !


AFTER STORY HERE WE GOOOOO.
"Children of Japan. And those who were once children. Listen! This is not a dream. This is not fiction. In reality, your superheroes were always fighting. To teach viewers courage and the meaning of justice! No matter how many enemies there are. No matter how strong evil is. Just remember. Does any another country have so many heroes? Has any another country been protected by multiple superheroes? Stand with me, friends! Remember when you used to watch your superheroes!
Once you may have given up this dream. But today, you can be a hero!"

The song is "Nagisa~Saka no Shita no Wakare (Warm Piano Arrange)"! I looked forever for this song, it's in the Clannad remix album.

In the episode they cut everything before two minutes and that's when Mei comes out from behind the tree.

Good Lord, this was atrocious. I cannot believe how such a hyped series can be this crappy. The only redeeming factors were Youhei and Akio. MC-kun was a spineless monkey and all the girls were so very cliched and boring it nearly physically hurt to watch. Ugh, all that wasted potential...

No, I clearly didn't enjoy this series. But yes, I will be watching After Story. After all it's the sequel that's being hailed as the pinnacle of anime, an unprecedented masterpiece and whatever else fancy title you can come up with.

Whew. I finally powered through all twenty-three episodes of this series of endless forced drama. I have to say, the past few mediocre episodes brought a conclusion to this mediocre season.

Onward to the alternate setting OVA now I suppose. That definitely looks a lot more interesting.

Here we have Kyou and her ability to cockblock so hard just when Tomoya and Nagisa were about to hold hands.
Lol, "We've got cute girls" increased the customers of the bakery.

Lol, Tomoya imagined Sunohara and Mei, then Sunohara and him.
But in the end, Tomoya took the initiative and held Nagisa's hand. (^_^)

Loved this episode! So many great moments xD The Tomoya and Youhei fantasy was so funny, Mei getting all those boys in the bakery and the bakery being so crowded cause of her cute girls advertising lmao!

I really loved that Mei played a bigger role in this episode too cause she's so cute...it's so funny how she never wants to spend time with poor Youhei xD

The date was so funny and everything Nagisa was saying was so adorably awkward LOL I loved it. And the ending was so nice. <3

And omg the land mine joke scene was so funny! Akio is the best, the kid at heart and baseball fanatic. :P

It was consistently good after episode 16. Too bad almost everything before that point was hard to watch. I didn't like the comedy, especially the physical comedy which was almost always some girl punching Sunohara. Fuuko's arc was just an exercise in patience. Nagisa's emotionally stunted behaviour was insufferable all the way through the end. Okazaki's relationship with her is bittersweet but I guess he had to choose Nagisa over the others. She needs him for mental support and he realized that after his talk with Sunohara when he left on the day of the picnic.

Sunohara x Tomoya perfffffect. I laughed through that entire sequence. I'm going to miss the ED in this one. Overall I think I would give this a strong 6 to light 7. It only really got goodafter episode 16. Everything before that was pretty rough. Hopefully the OVA will rejuvenate me because Tomoya x Tomoyo is where it's at.

This wasn't a bad episode but it didn't feel like a good way to end the season. They should have just cut it short and end with the episode 22.

But anyways. My thoughts of the show are that in a sense it's god fucking awful but it's the sort of awful that can be still enjoyed if you manage to get into it.

Easily one of the worst shows I’ve seen in a while.

Characters are awful. All the female characters are the most generic archetype anime characters maybe ever made. They have no depth what so ever past a single word. Nice. Fights. Tsundere. Quirky. Shy. Shy again. Not only that but aside from 2 girls the entire female cast acts like they’re 5 years old. The worst one for this is easily Nagisa’s mother. She’s like 30 years old and acts like a sixth of it.

Because of the generic 2D characters that are impossible to feel bad for and because the series was created entirely because TEH FEELZ (I’m on the internet so I need to write it like that. God forbid I write like an adult), it goes for the cheap option. Instead of making you care for the characters it just throws every single sad trope it can at you. 13 was easily the worst for this, it’s what made me originally drop the series a couple years ago. “BUT WHAT IF YOU SAID YOU HATED YOUR PARENTS OVER SOMETHING STUPID AND THEN THEY DIED ON YOUR BIRTHDAY AND THOSE WERE THE LAST THINGS YOU EVER SAID TO THEM AND WHAT IF NO ONE CAME TO YOUR BIRTHDAY AND WHAT IF YOUR HOUSE ALMOST BURNED DOWN AND WHAT IF YOUR CHILDHOOD FRIEND FORGOT ABOUT YOU AND WHAT IF YEARS LATER YOU FOUND OUT YOUR PARENTS GOT YOU A GIFT AND WHAT IF IT SOMEHOW MANAGED TO GET TO YOU AFTER TRAVELING THE ENTIRE PLANET WITH NO INDICATION OF WHAT COUNTRY IT BELONGS TO, LET ALONE THE PERSON? BUT WHAT IF WE HAD THE CHARACTERS CRY AND PLAY SAD MUSIC? ARE YOU CRYING YET? TEH FEELZ!” I have never felt less than during this show. You know what’s even worse about it? I’m dead center in the middle of a break up right now. I will never be more ready for a sad romance story. Somehow it fails to manipulate me emotionally while I’m at my weakest.

Fuko’s arc is the antithesis of everything good in the world. I like her character in small doses, I like her use after her arc where she shows up for 30 seconds every couple of episodes. Focusing 6 entire episodes on her though? There are no words for how much this arc annoyed me. Especially because there is nothing I care about less than her sister’s wedding. Especially since the end of the arc made the entire arc pointless. Thanks for waisting my time. You could have been considerate and made me forget about her too. Also, I can’t believe the song it ended on. It’s almost on the same level as Hajime no Ippo’s first opening when it comes to gibberish lyrics. You know you messed up when I’m laughing during the emotional climax of the arc.

Nagisa is the worst character in the show. And, of course, she’s the main girl. She’s the epitome of everything bad in the show. She’s a generic 2D archetype, she’s a moe blob, and she acts like she’s 5 years old because we need that purity. She has every single bad part of every character rolled into one character. Good job being bad in every way. I really hope the TEH FEELZ moments in Clannad: Afterstory don’t require me to care about her on any level. The only time she was mildly interesting was near the end when she had her soul crushed, and even that only lasted a couple minutes because god forbid we give our characters depth and development.

I really hate the magical elements in the series. I really hate that Fuko is a magic ghost. Especially since no one has any reaction to her existing. Is Japan really that wacky where you can see a dead person walking and be like “Man, my life sure is a Slice of Life?” No one ever is like “What? Why is there a ghost? What’s even real anymore?” and have a complete breakdown. Or anything interesting. I really hope magic never shows up for the rest of the series.

Even when the show isn’t awful it’s not good. Most of the episodes that didn’t have me grunt loudly in frustration were mildly entertaining at best with maybe a light chuckle or two. There were a couple episodes I liked like 23 and 4 before the magic sat in.

I really don’t know why the original series exists. Apparently almost none of the characters come back for the next one. What’s the point of this then? You don’t need to spend 23 episodes building up this awful relationship, Nagisa isn’t that deep.

2/10. I really hated this one. I really don’t see how anyone likes this show, unless your standards are so low your reaction is “Well, it was better than having my skin peeled off. 10/10 masterpiece.” And I don’t know how seemingly everyone on the MAL forums were incoherently sobbing after every single episode.

I’ll still watch Clannad: Afterstory at some point because I want to know why people have such strongly positive reactions to it. I’ll take a long break before that. I would rather eat an entire bottle of whiskey than see Nagisa for a while and just… Obliterate my insides with the glass. I’ll also watch the OVAs at some time. This series might be mildly better if it had a better leading woman. At least this show is finally dead and set on fire in a ditch somewhere. At least I can finally delete it and free the space it’s kept hostage for the last couple years.

Pretty hillarious chapter, I liked how they animated Mei's visit and even Tomoya's bad decision from the novel that led into this awkward date. Akio and Sanae were as good as always. I also like the reference from Tomoyo After (the repair car).

Also, the facial animation at the beginning was just pure greatness.

But... still no kiss? I really wonder how they want to pull Afterstory without that.

Its official . NagisaxTomoya are great couple ~ .. Nagisa is just too KAWAII <3 !!
Perfect episode for it had to be romantic ~ :D Commending the Sunoharas ~ .

A rainbow of feelings . Perhaps meaningful . That is how I describe "Clannad" .
One of the best Slice-of-Life anime of its era , given by an excellent character-driven story that will surely cause you to sympathize with the characters whether they're jabbing each other with hilarious jokes or being sentimental with how emotional the scenarios are .
More or less , It was surely delightful <3 !!
