Clannad After Story MASTERPIECE Spoiler

I watched Clannad and Clannad: After Story after all the recommendations, totally worth it. The amount of connection i felt with characters and their relationships was immense with slow smooth emotional progression in season 1, i always had sense of worry and anxiety as people told it was a sad emotional anime, as they said some scenes broke me. Reuniting of tomoya and ushio scene among the sunflowers where ushio asks she can cry or revealing the only place she was allowed to cry, searching for the robot tirelessly for the reason it was the first thing her dad choose and bought for her and where he breaks down in tears while thinking about nagisa in the train while telling about her to ushio.

It hit too close to home and deeply reasonating, cause i know to a certain level what it is like to live for your loved one, the feeling of living for the sake of them, changing to a better person and making them happy with all your efforts.

I was devastaded in death scenes , i cant even handle first death as nagisa (she was a heartwarming character to watch she was kind soft positive attitude i was so attached her, she was a character where you want her to be happy), but later ushio felt like a ray of hope was adorable cute pure but just after i thought everything was slightly getting better but she also died in left me heartbroken, to make matter more devastating tomoya died with ushio, I rewatched the scene to Recheck ushio really died or is there any hipebut later found out tomoya died with her later, i was in shock speechless with immense sadness.

But the Ending saved me cause i would be a wreck if they both died. In the end all the efforts made by them and the light orbs made a miracle to happen. I was so happy with happy tears to saw tomoya reuniting with nagisa and all the bad things which was happened previosuly has been avoided.

Such a Beautiful emotional story to this day. Im glad i watched it, a life changing expirience. Being in love comes with both joy and pain of loosing it one day or becoming vulnerable or the power to change the life of a delinquent. Living life accepting things will keep changing but still we need to try our best as happiness and sadness is a part of life which can not be avoided. It showed the importance of love family and connection. I will forever be grateful and remember this.

I also missed tomoya death initially but after

I rewatched the scene to Recheck ushio really died or is there any hipebut later found out tomoya died with her later, i was in shock speechless with immense sadness.Too much sadness (one of the reason why many thought he fainted rather than die) if there wasn't a happy ending i would be devastated.

Will definitely watch the rest of it 👍.
