Watching this, I feel like something on the level of Clannad and other classics was truly skimmed over, was this a product of the times? I'm aware it aired at the same time as clannad, and a tale of melodies with Toradora, clannad after story and more. Did it simply get overshadowed at the time? I just finished this today and feel like one of the best anime I've ever watched is just, swept under the rug, not that it's necessarily a bad thing

I feel like it was popular back then but nowadays this isn’t being talked about. I liked this a lot (the story between the guy and the girl with the eyepatch, forgot their names) but the 2nd story didn’t really catch my attention. But the 1st story really is good I would give it a 9/10.

This is my favorite anime of all time, but I understand it was kind of a niche show coming from a VN that barely anyone had even heard of. Hell Minori's website (at least back in the day) would block non-JP IP addresses from even accessing it lol.

It was pretty popular when it came out, and True Tears which came out the season after got a lot of comparisons to ef. Ef was different enough from the first Clannad that it stood out.

But a tale of melodies sorta got overshadowed by the double whammy of Toradora and Clannad After Story the year after...
