Clannad (Anime) add (All reviews)
Mar 9, 2015
Thats right my review on MAL is for an anime that is 8 years old and everyone has already seen and has an opinion so lets not waste time lets crack open this anime and see if it as good as every one says (note:the review is done without watching after story my review is based just on the first season)

Story:
Okay after 24 eps i don't think the main story has even started (i may be wrong) the story fault like an intro to the show which despite it being an amazing intro didn't cut it for me and the pay off at the end of the series was predictable and kind of lame let me go into further detail the entire shows is about Tomoya and his day to day life in anime school which features ghost girls,girls who don't want to leave the library,a best friend who only wants a girl and a love interest who is too shy to say anything so yeah just like every anime school and it plays it just as you expect (a little small twists but nothing major) and this was kind of disappointing going into clanned i heard its different and its better then most slice of life shows however in the story front it was passable but didn't blow my away 7/10

Art
Clanned may do alot of things wrong but the art it dosnt it looks amazing even in 2015 (8 years after airing) i cant fault the art it is simple a treat for the eyes maybe its due to the setting being in normal japan or maybe its just very well animated what ever the reason the art is amazing 10/10

Sound
Clanned music is passable there is not much to say nothing was so bad that i wanted to skip but nothing was so good that i would listen to it on my own time the music clanned is passable however sound goes past music and now i will take about the voice actors (subbed NOT dubbed) which are perfect every character in clanned sounds just like you would expect them to sound like and it improves the show alot tomoya and nagisa especially work well off each other the best the voice actors of tomoya and nagisa have great chemistry and it makes there romance more realistic i could go on all the day about all the side character and why there voices match but watch the show and you will find out 8/10

Characters
What makes clanned one of the most popular slice of life shows is the characters as they all anime stereotypes and clannad could have left them at that however clannad dosnt after spending 23 eps with these character you feel for them you start having favorite characters and you start to fall in love with them as you learn more about them the more you see them in this world even characters that are only side characters that don't even have they own arc (tomoyo and Youhei) get another time to develop past there stereotype and become real meaningful characters to the story and this is all made possible by great dialogue and great voice acting clannad shines because of this 9/10 (not enough tomoyo)

Enjoyment
Overall i had a good time with clannad however most of the time clannad is boring a lot of the ep feel a lot longer then they are most eps i though where near the end only to find out i was only half way though they are no grand fights no amazing sights its just a day to day life and this is well boring most of the time however the last few eps really picked up steam and made me a lot more excited by adding conflict overall i enjoyed clannad but be warned it can be boring
7/10

Overall thoughts
A good start to a promising anime overall its not the best anime of all time but you can go a lot worse then clannad if you want something relaxing that will make you care then clannad is the anime for you final score 8/10
