I don''t know what to say about 1 and 2 (I haven't seen those animes yet), but Clannad???... WTF I agree all the characters make the series special in their own ways, but Nagisa, besides being my ideal concept of a girl, is in no way weak... In fact she's very strong willed BECAUSE she's ill and still has the strength to carry on and always smile and kindly help those in need, always putting others before herself... Now, today most people don't care about the one next to them, and would even less do so should they have a health condition such as Nagisa's... oh, and did I mention she never ceased to follow her dream, despite the obstacles she's faced?... most teenagers in that situation would have given up, even without any sickness to worry about.
True, she's had Akio and Sanae (the best pair of parents I've ever seen, in real life or anime)from the start and Okazaki, but she's been strong even before she met him, and he's given her impulses to be better. Sure she may need motivation, but who doesn't :D... and I hardly see people being motivated by the possibility to selflessly help others.
You are completely right, Clannad was beautiful in too many ways to count. Nagisa is a beautiful character filled to the brim with the best intentions.
Personally, my preference in anime girls are the evil (shut off, cold, strong but emotionally there) ones who have a good side deep inside that gets brought up by the main character or the girl whose body i find the most attractive.
I understand that this is a matter of preference.
I understand that there is a reason why.
But I'm a die hard fan of Tomoyo. And for that reason, i created this thread. So that others who are aggravated by the choices of main characters from any series can post about their aggravation here.
I'm not trying to step on anyone's toes, so I'd just like to earnestly thank whoever gave me minus rep because without you i wouldn't have felt the need to write this message.
