Mixed Feelings
After watching Clannad, and Clannad : after Story, I decided to continue to Clannad movie as well. It thought it would be pretty cool. However, it turns out to be a bit of disappointment.

I though it would focus on a specific point and make me feel something again. But no, it didn't. This movie is like a 90 mins summary of the Clannad series, season 1 and season 2. It follows the similar pattern. But they are not the same. It seems to be a Clannad world upside down. Everything is slightly different. Also the solution is each problem is different .This is like telling Clannad series in a different way. Besides from this, it moves in a very very fast pace. I felt nothing except boredom when I watch this one. Everything is unclear. It lacks of information, and really confusing if I didn't watch Clannad series. For example, Kyou and Tomoyo who seems to be the villains in the beginner, all of the sudden, becomes good friends with Okazaki, (and Nagisa). Really confusing!!!

The art is fine. It's nice but it's not the same as what it used to be. That is the design of character's facial, at some point, they are different. Sometimes, they look like two different person. Other than that it's great as usual.

Sounds are different from the original one. The new dango theme song is pretty nice as well. Really enjoy the new one. The sound effects is okay though they're a bit unattractive.

Character is another thing which disappoints me. The character is really strange. Nagisa, who's quite shy, began the conversations many times, and ask Okasaki for different things. She's braver than usual. Character suddenly has their characteristic changed. Some becomes more violent, more rude, and more responsible. This causes a bit of misunderstanding.

I didn't enjoy this movie at all. Too much information to absorb in one pace. And while watching it, it really brought neither emotion nor fun, unlike original series. If you already watched Clannad series, I suggest not to watch this one. It would mess up your mind. If you haven't watched Clannad, I still suggest you not to watch this movie. Because after watching it, I don't think you will watch original Clannad. Not only that but also, it will spoil the ending and many other thing. So, ignore Clannad movie, and just watch the anime series.
