After story makes a huge u-turn from its prequels central slice of life genre and dives straight into tragedy. And after watching the 20+ episodes in the first season, you will have no doubt formed an emotional connection with the characters that will make after story a truly jarring experience. The author does an amazing job of making you feel pain and loss along with the characters. In Clannad, i was just observing some kids having fun. In after story, I felt like i WAS the main character, and felt the exact same emotions he did. At one point, when the main character was on the verge of giving up all hope, i stopped watching for a while because i was just so shaken by the story and just wanted to cry for a while. But anyway, theres not much of a point of me writing this review; if you watched the first season, youre definitely going to watch this one. and you might be so inspired that youll want to share your feelings on it too like this
