Both series are emotional rollercoasters that beautifully execute their dramatic narratives and character arcs without going way over the top and becoming a cringe-worthy melodrama (looking at you Anohana)

Both shows will hit you at an emotional level. I'd recommend Clannad to anyone, but I can only recommend Anohana if you have a very high tolerance for overdone melodrama. If you like your drama to have a sense of reality and elegance instead of having the show shove obnoxious and unjustified crying down your throat, then I would not recommend it. If you just want to turn your brain off and enjoy good animation, amazing music (especially the ending theme like oh my god it's so good), and formulaic tugs at your heart strings, then I highly recommend Anohana.

Toradora!

If you liked Clannad's amazing character depth and relationship development, than Toradora is a great choice for you. While it can get a bit cheesy at times, Toradora is one of the best romantic character dramas I've ever seen, with characters that serve as the perfect example of 'show don't tell'. Highly recommended to anyone who likes brilliantly complex characters and also enjoys a good old' feels trip.
