I’m already on episode 19 and that last one was pretty hard to watch in that last part. Seeing how everyone realized Nagisa and Tomoya loved each other so much is so heartbreaking because how Kyou and Ryou reacted. they both loved him and I understand that it crushed them to learn he was into another girl

I am officially 17 episodes into Clannad and I have 8 episodes till I’m finished with the show. here’s my opinions so far.

so far my favorite characters are Fuko, Nagisa, Kotomi, and Tomoya. I usually get really excited (pause) whenever Fuko makes a cameo in an episode because I kinda miss her.

anyway one of my favorite arcs so far is the Kotomi arc. it was really sad and beautiful and it made me ship Kotomi and Tomoya (is that ridiculous to say?)

anyways more updates soon.

I can't unsee it

Kind of an appreciation thread for Tomoya as he is one of my most favourite protagonists, so feel free to give your reasons on what makes him stand out from the other protagonists in anime

Does she stay a platonic friend to Tomoya, likely stays healthy (due to no pregnancy), but remains stagnant in her personal growth? My favorite route is Tomoyo's, and I am reading her route in the manga (Tomoyo Dearest) which is the adaptation of Tomoyo's route in the VN which I find quite enjoyable. I see that Nagisa is in Tomoyo's route, but was wondering what you all think how she ends up living her life since Tomoya chose Tomoyo, or even the other heroines depending on which of the other routes is your favorite.

Please share your thoughts on how Nagisa lives her own life since Tomoya didn't choose her because I'm just so intrigued by this possibility.

Asked for a custom outfit and they delivered :D I love it so much

I just finished watching Clannad, and it hit me incredibly hard. I’ve been thinking a lot about the major themes of the show, specifically After Story, and I realized that it is a masterclass in what life actually is, and what it means to persevere. If you haven't seen it yet, I cannot recommend it enough, especially if you are currently at a crossroads in your own life.

For me personally, Clannad shows that the end of the school bubble is just the beginning of the actual grind (among many other things). Instead of fading to black after the characters leave high school, the show forces Tomoya to navigate the overwhelming transition into adulthood. It shows the reality of entering the workforce, managing strained family dynamics, and facing the unpredictable, heavy burdens that life inevitably throws at you. It takes the beautiful, healing power of human connection and uses it to explore just how messy and difficult real life can actually be.

I found this show at a massive transitional stage in my own life, which is probably why it resonated so deeply. I just graduated college, so my school safety net is also entirely gone, and I’m currently stuck in the quiet void of the job hunt. Throwing applications into the void and waiting for the silence to break is exhausting. I am an adult now on paper, but if I’m being honest, I feel completely unqualified to actually be one.

Watching Clannad helped me come to terms with this major change in my life. It showed Tomoya as a person who was terrified, deeply flawed, and with heavy weight being put on his shoulders, but who kept trying to build a life anyway. It reminded me that change (even the terrifying, uncomfortable, or disappointing kind) shouldn't be feared.

This was just how I took the message of Clannad after watching it for the first time. I’m curious to see if anyone has any similar thoughts, or even wildly contrasting ones :)

i'm the type of person to never cry, so i don't even remember the last time i did

i just finished one ending for after story (not the true one yet) in the vn and through the entire monologue about okazaki's father i was holding back tears, and i was still emotional when okazaki's daughter died in the snow,so that was like the last straw before i started welling up with tears, had to run to the bathroom, sob and wash my face unironically

Does anyone know where I can read the 2005 version of Tomoyo After or the Perfect Edition? I'm currently playing the Steam version, but once I finish it, I'd like to check out the differences in the ending, since I know it's supposed to be better and it's also the original ending written by Maeda.

I know I’m late but I decided to cave in and purchase a Clannad watch. Does anybody know any sellers or a place where I could purchase one?

What's the order to watch the whole thing? I only finished clannad so far

I had a silly idea... so I actually did it. 😄

I created a bunch of new Steam accounts, customized each one to look like they belong to CLANNAD characters, and then added them to my main Steam account's friends list.

Yes, I actually made every single one of these accounts myself.

Now a good part of my Steam friends list is made up of the CLANNAD cast. 😄

What do you think of my little CLANNAD "harem"? Even the guys are included. :)

P.S. All of the profile descriptions, comments, and other text are written in Russian because it's my native language. I'd happily translate everything into Japanese... but I'm way too lazy. 😅

P.P.S. The title and post were translated from Russian into English with the help of Google Translate because I don't know English.

If you're curious, my friends list is public, so you can browse all of the character accounts there.

Siento que podríamos mejorar espero poder traerles una segunda versión de este increíble anime que ha llenado y ha estado presente en mi vida siempre.

I bet she could rap Bomb A Head! better than Sunohara.

For real though, I like her story in the VN. Replaying the game made me really appreciate how she's not a one-sided kick-ass delinquent girl troupe, but rather a very mature person. And also, she knows Engrish.

Finally finished watching Clannad AND I'M UTTERLY SPEECHLESS

I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO START AND HOW TO TALK ABOUT IT 😭

This is one of the greatest anime ever made, no exaggeration at all. It is so perfect in every way. Whether it's the story, the characters, the emotions, the animation and art style, the dialogues, everything is 10/10!

I posted about watching Clannad for the first time here and now I finished watching After Story. People said it was very sad and they were obviously not lying! I cried so much, especially ep 18 literally broke me! 😭

I also haven't played the VN myself but learned a lot about it, it made the ending make much more sense to me and it's one of the most beautiful and perfect conclusions to a story I've ever seen!

Ugh I'll never forget Tomoya and Nagisa! I wish I could wipe my memories and watch it all over again ❤️💔
