| This show was pretty good, but it feels a bit... empty? I don't know, I don't feel satisfied, it's missing something. Like, it isn't trying to be anything in particular, it tries to be many things (drama, a romance, a comedy or a slice of life) but doesn't really excel at any of these. It's pretty emotional at times and the main characters and funny and colorful, but it needs some substance, you know? 7/10 |

And...well, it isn't. After Story exists. I'm getting the feeling that once I watch After Story, I'll feel better about what this season accomplished. Right now, if I were to judge this season as a standalone series: I would say it's a 7/10 as well. It was an immensely enjoyable experience. It just feels like it needed something...more, to drive the whole thing home. To make it really memorable. ...and now, onto After Story. Which will hopefully bring this whole thing to the fully realized conclusion I feel like I'm missing. |
| that was actually better than what i feared. but still those anime eyes of clannad are creepy af |

| I found the show overall a real mixed bag, there are parts where Tomoya helps out some of the girls overcome problems that I found truly heart warming, I can see this being a big influence for shows like Bunny Girl Senpai. On the other hand though, when it turns into all the girls fancying Tomoya and Romance stuff I found it really quite average. Overall a 7/10, it's good, but there are signs that it could have been amazing. If you enjoyed it more than me though I can understand how and I'm pleased for you :-) |
 |
| Well, when I started watching Clannad I was sure the anime would end with tragedy. But this funny and happy note was just wholesome and I am glad it ended this way. Okazaki and Nagisa are in love and this was no surprise. It was just sweet and cute to see them confessing their feelings once more and I loved how they promised each other to never leave. I didn't always know for sure what to think of Clannad, because it had a lot of twists and turns and some different characters and their (short) backstories, but it has been a wonderful journey nevertheless :) |
 |
| Good to see them going in a lovely situation because we rarely sees it in the series so I am glad we have this episode. Tomoya's fantasizing is the fun part here along with Sunohara crying over his sister. |
 |
| Wow, they really felt like not being creative and decided to re-use most of the jokes, uh? Quite lame "epilogue", being honest. Seeing Nagisa and to some extent, Tomoya acting as if they were 12 years old was more frustrating rather than cute or sweet. The overused jokes weren't funny either, especially the incest fantasy which was just... plain weird and unnecessary. Overall and being honest, this has been a highly uninteresting season. All the arcs had some vestige of potential but unfortunately, none of them really held my full attention in the end. Fuuko's arc was unnecessarily long and unclear, the ending of Kotomi's arc left a lot to be desired and the terrible decision of mixing Kyou's and Tomoyo's arcs into one just ended up in those episodes giving a really mediocre and lame harem atmosphere. Said eps. being easily the worst ones this series has offered. 5/10 - Mostly due to the fantastic production values and Tomoya as MC. Now, let's see what Tomoyo's OVA can offer despite her character being the least developed of the main girls. |
| I liked it but I wouldn't say it left me satisfied. Fun watch regardless. Nagisas parents never fail to crack me up!! |
| It's been ten years since I first started watching Clannad. I put it on hold early on, as I felt it was something special that I should save for either a special occasion, or when I had watched enough anime to really appreciate it. I still remember when episode 4 made me laugh until I cried, and it was episode 6 where I stopped watching to give myself time to grow as an anime viewer. Well, with the first season finally done, I can say my unreasonable expectations after a decade of waiting weren't exactly met, but I'm definitely glad I waited regardless. Familial bonds are crucial to Clannad, hence the name. It definitely radiates galge, originating from its visual novel roots, as the character routes were extremely obvious. Story-wise, it felt like a long trek to get to Tomoya and Nagisa finally dating. In part, it's because it's apparent that she's the main route, and also because of various spoilers I've learned over the years. There were definitely a lot of in-between scenes meant for comedy and character building, at times feeling repetitive with scenes such as Sunohara bullying or Nagisa's parents' antics. They were funny, but I did notice such occurred a lot. I don't know many things about Clannad, but I at least know a few events that occur toward the end. Other then those, I've remained surprisingly in the dark on everything else. Of what Key/Visual Arts anime I've seen so far, I'd definitely call Clannad my favorite overall if it continues with this current quality. The art and animation is as great as I'd expect from Kyoto Animation, with a special mention to the dream sequences being absolutely beautiful. Visuals aside, I wasn't exactly blown away by the anime overall though, but that's, again, in part to my unreasonable expectations after a decade of being on hold. At the very least, I'm happy I can properly understand my feelings toward Clannad, and thus better understand how it got so popular. I feel like if I finished Clannad ten years ago, I probably would have called it one of my favorite anime, but now I feel it's similar enough to other things I've watched, so it doesn't seem as special as it could have been. Despite that, I enjoyed the first season nonetheless, and I'll wait until the end of After Story before I finalize my thoughts. |

| Mei is a dork... I was expecting idk....something more for the finale, but then again the whole show was slow and subtle. 7/10 |
 |
| Love the ending the comedy was good, and pretty much the romance was wonderful as well, so I'm gonna go and try watching the ova one so I hope that it will be good. So far this series has great romance, good comedy, and some pretty sad tragedy, so for me this anime has been a good one, so I'm gonna give it an 8/10 for me. |
 |
| This was a cute episode, though it's a bit bothering that Nagisa & Tomoya left the muffin on the bench. Hopefully they didn't abandon it intentionally. A solid 8 for this season. I feel bad for leaving the series on hold for over 2 years. |
| This was really cute! 6/10 since I didn't like every part of the story |
| It took a month, and 1 day of binge watching the last 10 episodes.. but FINALLY I have finished one of the most boring, yet horribly written anime I've ever seen. FYI: That date was super lame (and unentertaining). Anyways, after watching these 23 episodes, I can finally say that Clannad was a waste of my time. I came here with high expectations due to the 2nd season sky rocketing up to rank #13. But I was disappointed, like very disappointed. This was the Clannad everyone was talking about...? 3/10 |

| Kinda entertaining episode,but overall doesn't have or add much of an importance to the series, I think this episode doesn't change my final rating of Clannad since I feel like I've allready strongly decided it after seeing previous episode |
| 7/10 show. Most stories didn't feel fleshed out (I am looking at Tomoyo in particular). Kyou and Ryou may as well have not even revealed they had a crush on Okazaki cuz that was not deeply explored. Some drama felt like it was put in there just for the sake of having something sad. IDK people were saying this was a great anime but it was not that good imo. Maybe AS will impress more. I hope Sunohara gets a happy ending. Onto AS. I am interested enough since people say AS is even better than this. Hopefully it is. I won't watch the alternative Kyou and Tomoyo endings cuz I don't usually like watching alternate endings. |

| That entire opening bit was super fucking cute. This whole episode was a great book-end to this anime, and I'm almost certainly going to watch the sequel. 9/10, it was near perfect. |
Opinions are opinions, and differing opinions can co-exist. 🙂 But I don't do debate, life's too short to spend time debating people.  |
| It's labelled as filler but it still certainly is a nice way to end the season. I still think Nagisa's kind of a boring character which doesn't help in getting me invested in her's and Tomoya's relationship. But I'm sure my opinion of her will change as I watch After Story. I'm feeling a 6.5/10; lots of stuff I liked (mainly Tomoya's dry sense of humour, and best girls Tomoyo and Kyou <3), but whenever it goes into tearjerker mode it may be just a LITTLE too on the nose. I appreciate it going for the serious, heavy, and even dark tones, but in contrast to the slice of life that it is at its core, it feels just slightly too out of place for my taste. Been going back and forth from feeling a 6 to a 7/10 while watching this, but I think I'm going to settle on the 6 since I still think the more heavy moments could've been executed and implemented into the story a little better. But I'm more or less satisfied; I watched this just to get to After Story, and Clannad has succeeded in getting me mostly invested in these characters. Also just on a little side note, I just noticed that both After Story and Toradora aired in the Fall 2008 season. All I can say is, dang. |

| Pretty happy ending for a show like this. I half-expected it to end with some very depressing episode or something, I'm glad that wasn't the case. They are finally dating and have come pretty close since dating. Nagisa is able to say stuff like she wants to be with Tomoya forever, even using his first name, that's some very good progress. I didn't know our Tomoya had it in him but that was something, him asking Nagisa to hold hands. I'm glad the other girls have accepted that Tomoya chose Nagisa and aren't sour towards Nagisa or something. F for our bro Sunohara, everyone is too harsh on him. 5/5. |
 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| 23 episodes just for them to hold hands |
| my mom was right to recommend this anime to me |
| BRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH |
| This was a nice episode to conclude season 1. Season 1 was nice for what it was, with its amazing background music to set each mood. But season 1 IS NOT PERFECT, mainly because of those overly long and BORING Fuuko and Kotomi Arcs, OMG. 9 Episodes, SO BORING was that arc. And I also do wish that Tomoya would have kept his self-defeating personality that he had in like the first four episodes. After episode 4, he became too happy for my own taste, too much of a happy troll. Sure, every now and then we got his self-defeating personality, but it was too few. |

| well that's it.. finally completed this after putting it on hold halfway after one month, giving this 6/10 but i have very high expectations from After Story :) |
 |
| Having watched this 15 years after the show was aired it is a breath of fresh air seeing an ending where Furukawa and Okazaki start dating. I'm looking forward to Clannad Afterstory with a big smile on my face. |
| As expected, the embarrassment of being in a relationship yet not moving forward is noted in this episode. Good way to end this series. |
| hmm, def not my cup o coffee. not sure what i think of clannad as a whole. anything with fuko in it was like a torture to me, and the comedy wasnt enough to keep me interested. there were tons of fun and funny anime around that time, and then came the monstrosity that is angel beats i actually thought nagisa was the ghost girl, since she was basically that girl and robot in that world it was just a CGDCT to me, nothing that special. IDK if i can continue with afterstory |
