Remember Clannad? Ever thought the drama was too forced and the ending was too lame? Well this might be for you...
Animation: 7
I honestly can't tell if this movie was made in 2007 or 1977 at times, the directing is so old-school that it harkens back to the days of Tohoscope flicks such as Mystery of Mamo and Golgo 13. Not that I'm complaining.
Story: 6/10
Delinquent duo Tomoya Okazaki and Youhei Sunohara are two down on their luck poor sods dealt a bad hand at high school until they meet the main heroine of the VN, Nagisa Furukawa. From there we get a sweet movie about these two helping her perform a solo play at the school festival. What I like most about this movie is Sunohara's character. Somehow he has more depth than in the TV anime and feels like an actual real person.
Style: 6
More style than whatever zoomer crap is being made today, that's for sure. Though it may feel 30 years older than it actually is.
Overall: 7
This movie is an okay retelling of Clannad, but no substitute for the original story. I recommend either starting with the TV anime or VN and then watching this movie for the amazing Sunohara and Okazaki bro moments.
