What's all this talk about Clannad?

I mean, I can understand that there's good hentai coming from it, but what makes it so good? I mean, I'd watch it, but I need to know what it's about before I waste my already scarce free time to watch it.

Many of the characters are very involving, funny, adorable, or interesting (More often-than-not, a combination of those), not-to-mention good looking. A lot of it also comes particularly from Clannad After Story, which gets very emotional and very VERY involving. It's enough to say that it's the first anime that has made me cry, yet it still had a good ending in the end.

So: Funny, Interesting, Involving, Pathos, Anime babes, Varied and Deep characters, etc.

Emotional...ah fuck, I cried watching After Story. It was so sad, then so happy. Yes, I CRIED. And I rarely do O.O

I shall use my Elder Powers to convince you to watch Clannad and Clannad:After Story.

Clannad has the 2 most important things needed in any series, Comedy and Drama. It excells in drama, and even more so in After Story. But what will make you watch this series is, not only will it definitely make you shed a tear, but also you will become engulfed in it.

Also, Clannad is a rare case that the anime has surpassed the original VN.

I agree with Uzumaki and that after watching u get connected to the characters and then when the drama hits it really hits u not like some other ones

Yes, i too agreed with uzumaki-san and kaien-san, this is a good animation. one that has many memorial moments in it, it would be a waste if you didn't not watch it, it is definitely worth watching. over and over again.

No offense, dear quadratic-san, but my advice, just watch the animation and you wouldn't regret it.

Just watch it, dude, and I'm sure you'll like it for what it is. It's a good example of an anime with comedy and drama involved and the animation studio doesn't overdo it and makes it a well-balanced one, like a well-done ramen bowl.

The ending was really good (for both the first and the After Story series). It's really good to watch.

I liked how Clannad was pretty amusing and funny followed by the drama of After Story. It made you enjoy and care about the characters, and everything was pretty happy and sunny in Clannad world. That just made the whole After Story that much more powerful.

You hear about people saying they cry when they watch this or that, but sometimes they just exaggerate so express how sad they thought something was. But this series will literally make you cry, tears of joy and happiness.

I remember laying in bed with my gf after we watched the last episode, and I stared up at the ceiling trying to go to sleep. Then I started to hear her cry - she still was thinking about the ending too.

Thats how good this series was.

Me too. Clannad is simply a superior anime. Enough said.

As someone who watches anime for fun, I think it'll be enough to entertain you.

But if you are a wannabe critic like me, you'll find out that Clannad is so much more than a just a regular anime. It is perfect in every (or almost every) sense. Be it story, directing, sound, chara design, animations, etc.
The BEST anime i've ever seen.

This is pretty much a MUST see anime. Trust me, once you watch it, you won't regret it. I cannot begin to say how things in this anime was beautifully done in terms of story, characters, animation, music. Actually why am I still talking? Get going! You need to watch it now!!!

Okay, thanks everyone.
I guess I'll watch itwhen I have the chance.

Anyway, I need a good site to watch it on, because I can't get the DVD's or anything.
Youtube doesn't have a good search thing, all I come across are Maple Music Videos... <.<

Try anime-media.
They have both seasons so you should be able to watch it there.

AWESOME !
It's the first anime that makes me crying after watching it .
Check some sites,like www.animeseason.com to watch it online .

dis in an intelligent post

I don't really like clannad... I watched the first season and I was put of by Fuuko. because I didn't know the theme of the series, at first I thought it was normal but then when Fuuko came in it turned a bit supernatural...

Well, no offense to anyone here ^_^
BTW, I haven't watched after story yet, and if it doesn't have ghosts(or whatever Fuuko was) I might watch it

Clannad, (and mores specifically), Clannad After Story, has been the only anime series to ever really tug at my emotions. Never had I ever felt closer to two characters: Tomoya and Nagisa. For a good couple of weeks during after story's climax, I was crying my eyes out. Not just out of sadness for the characters, but for how easily I could relate to their circumstances. It even got me a little afraid of delivering a child with my boyfriend some day because of , but by the time came in, I knew right there and then that I wanted a baby girl for myself. Now, I'm not ready for a child yet, but I believe that when the time comes, I will feel a bit more prepared.

Clannad was also one of the funniest shows I've ever seen. The first season made me giggle so much that my dimples hurt afterward for awhile.

So yeah...people might make a big fuss about it, but it's just really THAT damn good.

Words of Wisdom: Do not bother to watch After Story if you have not watched through the first series >_>

lol

You're right,dude .
I think clannad is good,both in first series and the After Story .
