You may not know it but I am a big fan of Clannad but unfortunately the movie was quite a disappointment for me. The story of how Tomoya and Nagisa fell in love has changed, Ibuku the teacher wasn't supposed to be there at that period of time, Ibuku and her husband are close friends with Tomoya so close its like the relationship of Nagisa's parents, instead of the robot world shown it showed Tomoya and Nagisa's dream.
The Tv series of Clannad is outstanding!I was hooked on it. Both the first season and after story are very good and I suggest you watch those first
...
before you watch the movie. The story was brilliant, art was great, enjoyment was good too.
I thought the movie was going to show what happened before Nagisa..But its confusing I can't tell if it was before or based on the series. All the events are messed up (I can't tell you). But the main thing is that is irritating is that Nagisa is extremely confident in this. She still may have the same characteristics but she talks to anyone. In the series Tomoya finds her but this time Nagisa finds him. In the Tv series the whole point of achieving Nagisa's dream is also to make her confident but in the movie she already is. Its all pointless now
I also have a concern about the characters like Kyou, Tomoyo, Kotomi, Ro and Fuko (basically all of Tomoya's and Nagisa's friends) they weren't shown much. And in the movie it only shows that Kou, Tomoyo and of course Tomya's best friend in the movie. No Kotomi which is Tomoya's childhood friend. She is supposed to be shy and socially awkward and on her own in the library but here she is the leader of the Choir club.
You may want me to answer the main question about this movie. Is the movie like the summary story of what happened? and the answer is..Kind of. If you are worried you might see the events all over again. you won't. The story is the same just events different.
Overall this movie is very rushed and looks like they wanted to get over with making it. This movie is quite depressing and I wished the ending was like the Tv series but unfortunately no it wasn't. Nagisa is the main character .she whole point of the show and the whole point of Clannad and you will see what happens when you watch the movie which is cruel.
This movie could be showing 'another world' in the TV series it would always say and show there is another world like ours and our lives are linked to the other world. Maybe thats why it is different. in the tv series the ending was happy because of the light that gave you wishes. but nothing like that happened in the movie.
