Story - 9 - The story is just a slice of life, but it is a true beautiful work of art. There is a hint of something fantasy in Clannad, a different world that is void of life except one girl and her robot. They only show small clips of this, but how they tie it into the main story in the end was amazing. However, it still confused me a bit...
Art - 10... No, 100 - The art in this show is beyond amazing, it's the work of a dedicated master. The movement is more than fluid, it's beyond perfect. Plus, there are so many tiny details that make it seem more realistic, details you couldn't find in any other anime. I just love the art.
Soundtrack - 10 - What else is there to say..? It's gorgeous, and every beat goes with every moment, creating the perfect mood that is guaranteed to make you cry or laugh. Whoever made this anime put a lot of work into it.
Characters - 10 - The characters are simply perfection. They all develop in amazing ways, and become more and more realistic as they go along. I simply adore the addition of the new character you'll see if you watch this anime. She is sweet and way too cute.
Overall, this anime is just a work of genuis, and no matter what your taste in anime is, you should at least give Clannad a chance. I haven't seen the last two episodes because the story... Kind of finishes at about episode 22, so I don't see a need to watch the last two...
Anyway, I loved this anime, and sometimes I'd sob at scenes, get angry at others, then laugh in others. It's touching and amazing, I recommend it to everyone. Don't give up at that "certain scene" in episode 15 or 16 or whatever episode it was, because the end is perfect.
