Clannad After Story is basically about anyone's typical life: a life filled with enjoyment, sadness, pains and sufferings. The whole plot revolves on different problems and conflicts among friends, family, and life in the future. While this seems to be just like any other anime with genres similar to what it has, Clannad After Story is just different. Often times there are funny moments and often times there are just really really emotional ones. Funny moments were really funny. Sad moments were sad; I actually cried like 4 times until I've finally finished the whole anime. Words alone can not describe how the story is simply outstanding.
