I've watched Clannad and Clannad After Story and played a little bit of the visual novel. I decided to watch the movie and was disappointed.

STORY:
Well, they managed to get the main points in but I thought it wasn't a good summary. Everything happened to fast and it felt like you didn't get a chance to see character relationships develop. There are a lot of parts that would've left me confused if I hadn't seen the anime first.

ART:
The art was horrible. KyoAni is on of my favourite animation studios, on of the reasons being the art. However, the are in the Clannad movie left me feeling like I was watching something really old. I assumed that KyoAni also did the movie, but the second I saw the art I realized it was somebody else.

SOUND:
Not much to say about the sound, it didn't really strike me as good or bad. The only thing is I don't like this version of the Dango song, but I'm going to let this slide since it was written first.

CHARACTER:
The characters were generally the same, though I found Sanae-san and Akio had a different relationship in the anime, one I found annoying. I really hated Okazaki, his depression got on my nerves and he wasn't the same sarcastic guy that I fan-girled over.

ENJOYMENT:
I gave this a 1 as there wasn't anything to keep me watching and I just felt like Okazaki's greaving was a big turnoff.

OVERALL:
A few other people who gave bad ratings mentioned liking the last half hour. This was the part that bugged me the most as the story jumped around. The whole last 30 minutes I was dying to see Ushio and she was only there for what, 30 seconds?
