Who annoyed you, aside from the main girl? Fuko, kotomi, both purple hair sisters. Basically every harem member. Especially Fuko. Her arc had so many episode of just passing out starfish. |

Visual Novel and especially all of the unlockable stuff/EX is probably the best you'll get out of a Visual Novel if you get immersed into the earlier stuff. For the record, I like JC Staff's adaptation. Hate is just stupid at this point. |

| AS > Kanon 06 > AB > Air but yeah I think/hope the Angel Beats VN will fix all the potential-wasting factors the anime had and might become pretty sick These are known as Key's great stories (Clannad/After Story, Angel Beats, Air, Kanon (2006)) that's bullshit btw, Key's big three are Clannad, Little Busters and RewriteAngel Beats will quite likely join them once the real deal gets released but we'll see |

| After Story > Kanon (2006) >>> Clannad >>>>>>>>>>> Angel Beats Kanon definitely has the best characters but After Story was slightly more emotionally impacting. I still haven't managed to finish Angel Beats because it is boring as fuck. Haven't watched Air because I already know the VN is way better so I'll be playing that eventually. |

| Let's seeee....... Never seen Air or After Story sooo Angel Beats > Clannad > Kanon 2006 ( kinda stopped watching it at episode 10 or 11)> Little Busters (stuck at episode 19) Heard LB is suppose to get better when you reach EX, but LB is horribly boring atm. Might finish it after I finish Monster. >_> |

I haven't given Angel Beats a try in a while, but I know I've given it a try on three separation occasions and I always stop around the 5 episode mark. If I recall correctly those are the more "slice of life comedy" moments but all the characters were extremely unlikable that I couldn't care for it and it made it boring. Yeah, I know its a KEY work so its supposed to get more emotional (and it supposedly does) but if I don't care for any of the characters it makes it hard to watch. And K-on is a fantastic anime. Never a boring episode there. All of the characters (outside of Mio perhaps) are very likable and their interactions are funny and heartwarming. The second season was a bit sad as well. |

And not seen Air or Kanon yet so I won't make a judgement on which series is better. |

| Only watched Angel Beats and Clannad. So not much to compare. Angel Beats easily. |
| Yoshii Kiria took over as leader of Fairytale and rebuilt it and became one of Tsukunes formidable enemies but let's save that story for another time Hehe, let me introduce him to you again, kid. This is Shuzen Issa (who is MIA during the final battle), who will become your 'trainer' starting today. You still have much to go if you want to become the headmaster. Like the two souls have started to become one. |

How high would you rate it?NeoAnkara said: Kamito, praise me more@Hax Damn you for being able to read Japanese. If I can read Japanese I would have played fortissimo long time ago. One of my biggest positive surprises thus far. This game was beyond hilarious with some of the best characters I've ever seen, and many of them at that. Its originality goes through the roof, mixing school-life, fantasy RPG and sci-fi together while still staying true to its original idea. Being an SRPG, naturally it's really long, but still very satisfying. There were a few annoying flaws with the battle system, especially the lack of a complete animation disabling option, so the fights took a bit longer than you'd like. Other than that I like how many mechanics it had given the simple base idea of it. What I did find a bit of a downer was quite simply that it was too damn easy ninety percent of the time. Especially the scaling was pretty bad, as your skills were simply too strong past a certain point. That being said I enjoyed this game immensely. The characters were just so likable every single one of them. The story went all over the place, it wasn't exactly groundbreaking but it fit the theme very well. I'd recommend this game to just about anyone as long as you go into it with a proper mindset. Don't be too serious when playing this one and you'll find it well worth the time spent. 9.1/10 I'm probably in the minority regarding how much I enjoyed Yumina though but entertainment-value-wise it was just hilarious :P |

| Hi! I'm here just to give a more detailed answer if anyone hasn't watched both up till now! I personally cried over angel beats the most. Air was pretty sad but I didn't find the plot that interesting, and it didn't really put an impact on me. Kanon? It was okay.. Not terrible but not that great. Clannad is actually really amazing. It's like watching your friends grow up. But the thing is, clannad is more of a 'slice of life' kind of thing. Like the struggles you go through in life, and the characters are pretty cool. If you plan on watching clannad though, you should be someone with quite a lot of patience and attention span because I'm the kind of person who gets bored and falls asleep in class, and I did, indeed, cry like a mad man while watching clannad, but I cried the most during clannad after story, however, I did get bored, and I watched it (completed it) only after almost a month. But it is VERY touching. I loved angel beats the MOST because I honestly clenched my heart, and stomach over this anime. I love it because it's quick, yet it sort of grows upon you. It becomes 'a part' of you I would say. The characters are extremely comical, and during a sad moment, there's bound to be someone funny saying something, which makes me cry, while laughing. But during the saddest parts, my throat feels like it's burning, I can't speak no matter what, and my tears just flow NON STOP. I used 3 tissue boxes on angel beats... And the plot for angel beats is also really cool! Like the creativity in the idea of the whole thing. But please watch both. You WON'T regret it. You'll bawl your eyes out and suffer from post anime depression syndrome but it's worth it! oh and clannad is easier to understand, while angel beats is more complicated, but it's an extremely beautiful anime. |
