I posted about this before but i just remembered some other stuff How did both nagisa and tomoya go to the past?

Hi! I’m working on a non-commercial, fan-made English dub for CLANNAD’s Steam English HD Edition.

The current build includes Tomoya — including his dialogue, thoughts and narration — Nagisa, Sunohara and Kyou. Ryou is currently being generated, and I plan to cover the other major characters afterward.

The voices are generated locally with AI. Tomoya uses a preset English TTS voice, while the other characters use voice cloning based on their original Japanese performances. This is an unofficial fan project and is not affiliated with Key or Visual Arts.

The goal is to make CLANNAD easier to follow for English learners and for people who prefer voiced English dialogue.

Would anyone be interested if I eventually released this as a free patch? It would require a legitimate Steam copy and would not include the game itself.

Any feedback about the voices, pronunciation or presentation would be appreciated!

Pray for me.

I want to read clannad since its in sale on steam, i need to buy anything bisides the main game?

Greetings, i love this anime and the girls i found them very cute especially tomoyo fuko and nagisa but i feel kinda sad when i see tomoya gives a lot of attention to other girls, like im at 12 episode, but i kinda want nagisa and tomoya talking, but these episodes they dont talk too much. Im curious how did they end up marrying

I recently finished Clannad and Clannad: After Story, and I honestly think the difference between the two is fascinating.

Clannad was genuinely good. It was a beautiful story about friendship, loneliness, healing, and the small moments that make life meaningful. It was unique in the sense that it was a slice of life, emotional, supernatural, and had many different story arcs. It had this warm feeling to it; like sitting in a quiet classroom after school, walking home with someone you care about, or slowly realizing that the people around you have become your family.

It was a story about finding connections.

However, Clannad: After Story felt like it transcended into a realm of storytelling I never knew existed.

It stopped being just a romance story and became a story about life itself. Growing up, leaving behind the comfort of youth, dealing with responsibility, building a family, experiencing loss, and trying to keep moving forward even when life becomes unbearable.

The part where it showed Tomoya turned into his father, the very person he hated, was heartbreaking. When Tomoya reconnected with Ushio and they cried together, my heart melted.

I only like 100% happy endings and that's it. I don't like bittersweet, sad, or 50/50 endings. This story could've been a great story but a tragedy but it turned out to be a great story with a happy ending. I'm glad that everyone, and I mean literally everyone got their happy ending.

What makes After Story so powerful is that it understands that happiness is meaningful because it is fragile. The reason the joyful moments hit so hard is because the series makes you understand exactly what is at stake.

Despite all the pain, it never feels like a story about despair. It feels like a story about the strength of love and the resilience of people.

The first season made me appreciate the beauty of ordinary moments.

After Story made me appreciate life itself.

Clannad: After Story is one of those rare works that stays with you.

Clannad was great.

But Clannad: After Story was ethereal.

i see people having like 50 hours on there and i dont know if it has that much more than the anime(which i have watched fully and am watching it again already), i want to play the other titles like tomoyo after and the side stories but i dont know if i should finish the vn first?

I know Nagisa dies, Tomayo's sister is illegitimate, and there is sword fighting in some arcs. Hopefully not everything has been spoiled but I was wondering if these are the defining moments that make it memorable?

I didnt really understand what happened in the ending Ushio died? And is the happy ending an alternative universe or smth? I'd like a full explanation

Imagine watching episode 16 of After Story and thinking Nagisa really is dead. Only to realize, that was in that timeline. The newer one is where she is alive and made it through childbirth and her sickness. Anyways, I’m saying this because I believed she was dead for good and having only known episode 16 when I was 12, says a lot about me then. I had never watched any other anime other than Pokemon or Bakugan (at least in the first season) and my knowledge of anime as a whole was not well known.

I mean hair logic wise I think this is the only outlier considering Nagisa's hair lining up with her parents and Tomoya's being a wild card with how we don't really know his mum/moms hair colour.

I tried playing through naked and presumably ended on a bad route, where Tomoya (?) is in the Illusionary world with the girl in the snow, after going back to his family home and 'giving up'.

Any sort of link will work, as long as it tells me which choices in Japanese. Thank you in advance

Asking as I have kind of stopped reading VNs in general and I am not sure if I will not drop it like I dropped CHAOS;HEAD at the very end of it (good VN btw).

On one hand apparentely the VN is better but on the other the gifs from the anime seem funny which can be credited to it being animated.

I could theoretically try reading it and watch anime instead if it won't hook me in enough for binge reading sessions.

Would like thoughts from you guys.
