I'm not saying you should watch the second season, but there are legit people who didn't think the first season was good but did think the second season was good. Clannad is kind of mixed, but the second season delivered one of the most cathartic scenes in the medium. |

I'm not saying you should watch the second season, but there are legit people who didn't think the first season was good but did think the second season was good. Clannad is kind of mixed, but the second season delivered one of the most cathartic scenes in the medium. indeed I have recently gone through all my droped animes and decided to give them justice and try again those that I wasn"t sure about droping(well on hold now). but most of the time people who say that liked the 1 rst season(or the first episodes of a long running series), at least a bit . but I've heard that, and also that guy whos name I forgot did a review on hxh and he hated the begining and loved the rest. so i was thinking" maybe it's possible for a series to start bad and then become good later but these case are extremely rare( and I liked the begining of hxh, well it's nothing compared to the rest but still I din't dislike it) STILL the argument" it gets good later" isn't enough for me, elaborate, spoil me I don't care but just " it gets better" isn't enough for me exept maybe the 2nd episode is better or whatever. plus, just having a bad first episode and the rest good makes no sense because the first episodes are here to grab the audience's attention. |
| I didn't cry either and about the stuff 1st season vs 2nd season I liked the first one a lot more. The second was like a life gone bad sim, which was ok. I liked Kyou, end of story. |

| I also didn't cry. So, you're definitely not the only one. But that's obvious I think. |
| It's not obligatory. I didn't cry from Grave of the Fireflies. Just didn't move past the "yeah, I already know life was like this for loads of people" reaction. Different things work for different people. |

It's just so much better. |

mcrta_weeb said: Zero-Jack said: what is this referencing because I've seen this lots of times but still don't know?To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Clannad. The drama is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of social workings most of the drama will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Tomoya's basic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation - his personal philosophy draws heavily from harem literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of the drama, to realize that it's not just funny- it says something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Clannad truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Tomoya's existencial catchphrase "fuck" which itself is a cryptic reference to him bieng a fucking pussy. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as the writer's genius unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools... how I pity them. π And yes by the way, I DO have a Nagisa tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. It's originally from Rick and Morty meme. |
| Atleast you know in your heart that you are an evil heartless person thats all that matters |
| I was considered to have no emotion, yet I've shed a tear while watching. But then again, it could have been the fact that I haven't blinked while watching, but I connected with the characters. It's not guaranteed to make anyone cry, so you're good. |
 |
| I didn't cry either but I'm not a bitch, so there's that. |
| I also didn't cry, but it was a good anime nonetheless. |

Lmfao, what other show could start with the main character hanging from a tree. ''My mom and dad both tried to get taller too'' Mod Edit: Merged duplicated posts; please use the edit button. |

| “I just spent the last two years thinking that you guys knew more than me about life and I just found out that you guys are just as dumb as me.” “Duh-doy.” “Yeah, duh-doy.” |
| Moved from Anime Discussion Ehh....I'll suspend judgement until I actually finish the series. If it's anything like Kanon, I'll at least give it props for its production value. Anyways, yeah, you're not alone TC, though you've walked into one hell of a minefield in that regard. |
| I can understand why u didn't cried...actually if u compare the life of the characters with ur own situation it will definitely hit u...i cried a bit not gonna lie.. |

| I really wantedto cry but i couldnt... |
| Yeah I didn't really feel sad watching it because it was fictional and everyone spoke like a cartoon character. I didn't feel like I was watching real people, all of the conversations and characters just seemed too bizarre. The kawaii giant eyeballs also made it less sad. Still a great story though, it hit hard when Tomoya realized the truth about his dad. Not trying to sound like a tough guy tho I have cried plenty over some sad documentaries and such |

| You monster. (30 char limit). |
| Honestly, you can't measure how emotional the show is only by whether you cry or not. Yes, making you cry does leave a strong impression, but at least in my case, after I realized how fcked up my crying senses are, I don't rate emotional anime based on tears. My eyes are constantly dry, sometimes I refer to them as Sahara, and lately I don't cry that often during emotive scenes. I usually have to put a bit of effort to shed a tear. And I'm talking about scenes which are emotional as hell and I'm truly feeling the emotions and feel like they deserve my tears. But still, sometimes nothing happens. Then there are times, when I'm probably just in some very emotional state and even just some stupid supermarket advertisement can make me cry. I think this is very unfair and that's why I don't think "I didn't cry" == "Its the shows fault". I have just as much influence on my emotional state as does the show. But regarding CLANNAD, when I watched it for the first time I cried like a little baby, also probably because the ending wasn't spoiled for me. When I played the visual novel I cried a lot less then during the anime but there were still instances when I cried. When I re-watch some emotional scenes they usually don't make me cry. But there are occasions when they make me cry once again (especially during some family ralated scenes). Maybe you would cry if you watched it once again and in more emotional state? Not like you can influence it very much. What I want to say, your mental state and surrounding also affect how immersed and emotional you can get. PS:Animals are one thing that almost never fail to make me cry. To an extent where even a happy living dog makes me shed tears. Edit: I wanted to add in case it wasn't clear, there isn't anything wrong if you didn't cry. |

| I've only cried with Violet Evergarden but episode 18 and 19 destroyed me, especially when Akio says to Sanae that she could cry. That scene was devastating. |
