| If it doesn't catch your interest.. why would you even consider watching it? If romance/comedy/drama isn't your thing, why would you expect to enjoy a show about romance/comedy/drama? |
 |
| All comes down to your tastes and what it'll mean to you (which no one can know until you complete it). |
 |
| Personally, I enjoyed Clannad season 1 because I thought it was a good blend of romance, drama, and comedy. Then Clannad AS happened.....and I lost all my hope in ever trusting another romance drama. Anyways, if it doesn't look interesting to you, it probably won't. |
| No it's not good and the first season is just bad. Yeah, the art style and character design is really horrible, generic and ugly, Clannad was one of the few anime that I didn't watch at the beginning because of the art. If you want romance/comedy/drama then look up these and decide if they interest you: Itazura na Kiss Nana ( I can see you giving this a 10/10) Ano natsu de matteru Skip Beat Kimi ga Nozomu Eien |
 |
| It's mediocre at best.. Watch Kanon, its better. |

| He gave it a 6 so he disagrees with you. |
|
| The OP should just watch instead of having people potentially over hype the show or make you go into it expecting it to be horrible. It's always a bad idea to ask questions like this. Personally, I regard it rather fondly. |

| it's up to you OP, even if Rom/com/dramas aren't your thing you may end up liking it. Personally I couldn't get through the first season so, I wouldn't know. |
 |
| OP: Just watch whatever you want to watch. If it doesn't interest you, drop it. Personally, I gave it a 3, and After Story a 4. Tomoyo Chapter got a 6 (one episode). Don't ever presume that just because a lot of people like something, you must be missing out on something. It doesn't work that way. |

| It's really over hyped by newer anime watchers. |
Adramelech said: Then don't watch it. Nobody cares what you think or what you want. If you don't want to watch it, then don't open threads to make people encourage you into watching it. Stop being so hypocrite. How am I being hypocritical? I don't think you fully understood the question I asked. Yes, I did state my point of views, but I ended it in a question of whether or not I should give it a try, is it a "worthwhile" anime. From the comment which you posted is completely uncalled for. You are bringing too much sass for my taste. If all you're going to do is post rude comment then don't even join a thread. |
| Many people likes this Anime -> Doesn't seem interesting to him -> Ask people if he should watch it. Wat? Edit: If you don't think it's interesting, don't watch it. Don't come here to have us encourage you to watch something you don't find interesting... |

| I still don't know wtf is wrong with Clannad's art style. Its not bad..its just different. Anyway if you ever change your mind Clannad is a must watch. |
 |
| Yeah, I think it's fucking amazing. It's very emotionally manipulative and powerful. The first season had some very overblown melodrama (same kinda goes with the beginning of AS), but I still loved it. |

| I can't believe people are so hateful of this show. Even if you don't normally like romcoms it's still a great show. It's the 4th best rated show on this site for a reason (well, the after story is anyway), and it takes a special show to receive consistent ratings of 9 and 10. For me, this show was life-altering (in the best way possible). For you it may not be have that great of an impact, but I think it is a must watch for every person, not just anime fan. If you only ever watch one anime, this should be it IMO. andrew8535 said: I really enjoyed and totally recommend episodes 4 through 9 the main character of these episodes is fuku the ghost girl, other then that i gave the rest of the show like a 5 I think you totally missed the point of this show if you only liked the Fuko part of the story.

| I remember watching the first few episodes of this show a while ago but can't remember anything from it, and lately have been on a romance anime binge and am thinking about starting it over. It's been so well reviewed and I've read countless of them, so this question might sound pointless for those of you who've seen the show as read reviews. I'm looking for a worthwhile romance that makes you become invested while also having some comedic points to break up the heaviness. Personally I also despise very whiny main character guy's who are still somehow spoiled yet fail to recognize the fact they are if that makes sense. I'm terrible at diving into a new anime, and am very meticulous in that regard so any confirmation of it having those simple qualities would be much appreciated! |
| I was actually going to start that but never did. I might have to give it a go then but does it have a brother-sister romance going on? I'm not too big on those personally. |
| If you can endure S1 then S2 will be very rewarding |

Most people here rate anime based on enjoyment. If it made them laugh or cry, they'll slap a 10 on it and move on. Don't take the ratings too seriously - they don't mean anything since they're all completely subjective. |

-Tien- said: they don't mean anything since they're all completely subjective. well that's completely idiotic to believe that the ratings " do not mean ANYTHING " it gives you a good idea of what is fairly good and what is fairly bad. from my experience, i can see why people liked an anime or why they didn't. a generally low rated anime (say 5) could give an idea that many people may have had problems with it. I believe ratings have SOME meaning and are still helpful in some way. i think it's good to read some reviews, see the overall score, but any rating on MAL should be taken with a grain of salt. I'll agree that ratings should not be taken too seriously, but to say that they are meaningless is too harsh. i can accept that clannad arguably deserves the rating it has received, but i can't bring myself to watch it because of the art style. i want to watch it so i can see and understand the majority consensus of this anime so i can, too, enjoy it and understand how people have felt. this is why i scan the the 8-9's to find something that may be reasonably good. it gives me some material for being someone new to this scene. one day, clannad, one day. tl;dr Ratings aren't meaningless. You are correct that they shouldn't be taken seriously. Ratings help me and other n00bs. I understand Clannad might be a great romcomdrama thing, but art style puts me off. Maybe ill get to it one day. |
wow |

Maybe ill get to it one day. So in other words, you disagree with my opinion. Oh, and keep in mind that some people may take offense if their opinion is dismissed as "completely idiotic." Of course ratings are meaningful to some people. Not for me, though. I avoid relying on them when searching for new anime to watch, because while my opinions of certain shows may indeed reflect those of the majority, I find that this is often not the case. You're going to miss out on many shows that will potentially suit your tastes if you only skim through the ones with a score of 8 or higher. One of my favorite anime doesn't even break the top 1,000 on MAL (for reference, an anime with a score of 8.00 is ranked ~470 at the time of this post). And I consider myself a recent convert to anime as well, so I'm not convinced that time has anything to do with it. On a more friendly note, just start Clannad now, lol. Better to get it over with than to have it lingering in the back of your mind - unless you're the procrastinating type, I guess. I've already grown accustomed to the characters' massive bug eyes. |

| Oh course it is duh! Clannad is the best Anime of all time! |

| Yeah Clannad is good and is worth at least a try. Even if it's just to watch After Story. |
