Though I said this I know I probably can't stop a Clannad fan from watching this movie. I read multiple reviews of this movie saying the same as me but oh well, here I am. I want to keep this review short really and give you a little list with what I think this movie does better and (even more important) worse than the show:
1. (-) Some characters are completely different to a point where you can't even recognise them anymore from the show; for example Nagisa is WAY too confident in her theatre skit.
2. (-) The content of Season 1 is being dealt with in 1h 10min in the movie, content of Season 2 only takes up about 20min which is quite sad since the most emotional moments were in Season 2.
3. (-) Cruicual moments were left out which yes, is obvious in a movie of this length but they were so important for the story in the series and the topics it dealt with that it just shows that Clannad's story can simply not be packed into a 1h 30min movie.
4. (-) Toei "animation" moments, including repeating the same animated sequences again and again after each other for no reason (who directed this lmao) and adding as many pointless blur effects as possible without any reason to do so (you wanna get me dizzy watching this? xD)
5. (-) Soundtrack is worse, the version of the dango song in the movie made me mad, I need the one from the show, it's much cuter.
1. (+) It's still Clannad, so I had to shed a tear but only because of memories from the series coming up.
Thanks for reading this, I am going to bed.
