Characters that were developed quite a bit in the first season were developed farther into the point of adulthood and the struggles of real life as you continue to grow older via making the characters even more developed and realistic.
The music more or less was equal quality of that of the first. But it took on more of a presence and made important scenes seem even more special and added to the overall anime.
The art style continued to amaze me, with even more beautiful scenes and more stunning imagery.
The Beautiful story that first season of Clannad gave us was just the beginning of what was to come. In the second season with After Story, they take you on this ride of going through the pain of lost or the struggle of raising a child solo and the stress and pain that it can put you through, Along with dealing with personal issues on the side.
After Story to this day continues to be a top favorite on my romance anime list that I have built up over time. It goes to a place where not many anime's go that I wish some did and it does it brilliantly even if it also does come with some heartache along the way.
