My first impression when I saw the title and the synopsis of this anime is like “this will be like another bland anime with good visuals”…You know what.. for me my first impression is not really that far off…despite the 8/10 rating…this anime has it’s issues…

The Story- 6.5/10

Am I too harsh?? The first few episodes..well…not much happen really..just the mc doing some things to make herself better at her job…hmmm..where do I saw this before…it seems nostalgic…anyway…despite the plain introduction, the story does get better towards the ending.. The story is...pretty good actually.. I kind of like the main storyline.. it’s not really like the ... typical slice of life anime story since it has that seinen tag…the story is quite different in a good way.. but.. let’s not forget the flaw…I believe this anime can get better if there are just a little fanservice…by the way the fanservices from a scale of 1 to 5 (the bigger the number the more fanservice it has).. I would rate it 3/5.. The fanservices are unnecessary.. I might be a little biased here because I’m not really the type who like fanservice but I believe it’s unnecessary.. it’s not like there are an awful lot of fanservice in this anime but, I think… for this kind of anime.. It’s a little bit too much.. other than that…there are some scenes that are unnecessary too…but don’t let this discourage you to watch this anime…the best is yet to come…

The Animation/Graphics/Art/Etc- 9/10

The animation is pretty average for a slice of life anime…nothing impressive and it’s not bad…however I believe this anime strong point is the art itself….it beautifully described the life in this anime…in other words…it suits the anime incredibly well…I love this anime art.. They did a great job in this department

The Music- 8/10

The music are.. not really that memorable…I only like the 2nd op.. other than that it’s just…meh… well, maybe it’s just not my type of music.. but the sound effect is pretty good.. I have no complaints about the sound effect…but they are quite forgettable…but they still sounded good to me…

The Characters- 9/10

The characters are dynamic.. it felt like they are kind of alive.. There are happy go lucky character who lived in a harsh life before..a character who share the same personality like me(that’s a plus…to me at least..)a character that is an erotic novel writer.. and many more characters that are not annoying ..we can see how characters with different personality manage to somehow befriend one another…there are at least 5 characters that we can see their reason why they are there or what inspired them to be there.. we can see some sort of depth in some of the characters... they are entertaining to watch as long as you don’t get annoyed to them… for me they are likeable and I find their actions are understandable..

My Personal Enjoyment- 6.5/10

Don’t let my personal enjoyment let you down.. This will not affect the final score.. but still.. if you like an anime with a good storyline..like I do… you will or might be disappointed.. it’s one of those good anime that I didn’t enjoy.. this case is also similar to my experience with Code Geass..

Final Score- 8.13/10

THIS IS A SPOILER FREE REVIEW

I was called heartless and emotionless by peoples...Well i thought so too. But after i watched this anime.. i found out that i'm still a human.. this anime gave me a lot of emotion...it's been a long time since i felt like this before...so if you want to enjoy Clannad: After story..make sure to watch the first series first...

anyway..back to the anime....for me the first episode got me hooked on to this anime...i thought it will be like another typical slice of life school comedy anime...but i was wrong..this anime is a funny anime but at the same time it ... is also a sad anime...since i never watched an anime that goes beyond school life i was surprised with the story...for me the storytelling is excellent...it's not rushed and it's well made...since i'm not gonna explain the plot..i will say that the story is really good and the ending is really satisfying...it's worth it...

Okay the character is cute...it's quite easy to exploit my feeling with cute stuff...but not many anime managed to exploit this to get my attention..well mainly because the characters are well developed and pleasing to watch...for me no character managed to annoy me which is quite rare actually..the only character that might annoy me when i watched the anime is Fuko-chan..but she's cute so i let it pass...

however, there is one thing i believed they can do better...the sound...it's not bad..it's not bad at all...but i know they can do much better with the music...i believe the music especially at the sad part can be much more memorable with a better music...but the dango song is still cute and memorable..so it's okay really...it didn't affect the overall quality much...

the art is beautiful...well at least to me it's beautiful...i'm not really an art person so i will let this one pass..

i personally enjoyed this anime...it's a really beautiful anime..this anime exceeded my expectations...it's one of those anime that left a great impact on me...it will stand as one the best anime i watched so far...and i'm sure it will last quite long in my favorites list.. :D
