May 6, 2009 LemonLyme Recommended I laughed... In a nutshell, Clannad ~After Story~ influenced the way I will live for the rest of my life and not just in some half-assed way like any other show would. It legitimately moved me to make certain decisions, for better or for worse. In that sense, no other anime can compare, as no other anime has provided an equivalent reaction on my part. Before you continue, you should know that Clannad ~After Story~ is a continuation of the story from Clannad and an adaptation from the original Visual Novel by KEY. Although knowledge of the first season ... Read more Open Gift Report
Aug 12, 2011 grungeallaround Recommended Recently I had the absolute pleasure of watching Clannad: After Story. I had previously seen the original Clannad and liked it as a light-hearted slice of life anime, good but not amazing. I went into After Story expecting the same thing, but what I got was something fantastically different. Story- 10/10 As I said before, I started After Story expecting it to have the same light-hearted high school drama feel as the first season and, unfortunately, the first eight episodes did nothing to prove me wrong. The first eight episodes are Clannad at its storytelling worst, more specifically the Sunohara arc. Thankfully, Clannad ... Read more Open Gift Report
Mar 22, 2009 KaminaKai Recommended *Yet another successful heart warming series produced by Kyoto Animation that surpasses its predecessor.* “… an astounding series with a slightly less astounding conclusion.” Due to the frequent references to Clannad (first season), from here on, the term “Clannad” will be used when referring to season 1 and “After Story” will be used for season 2 and the term “Clannad After Story” will be used when referring to the Clannad series as a whole. A few friendly reminders before we begin. After Story is a direct continuation of Clannad, thus it is not very “new audience-friendly”. Knowledge of certain key events and character relations are expected from ... Read more Open Gift Report
May 5, 2009 Lighto98 Recommended "Do you like this school? I really, really love it. But nothing can stay unchanged. Fun things... Happy things... They can't all possibly stay unchanged. Even so, can you keep on loving this place?" How does one cope in a world that is always changing? And are we ever truly alone? The above questions are foundational to the series of Clannad After Story, a story of love, loss, redemption, happiness, sadness, togetherness, and change. I will start by commending Key, the brains behind this show. Like other works of theirs, (Notably Kanon, Air, and the first season of Clannad), it is beautifully written and incredibly aesthetically ... Read more Open Gift Report
Feb 8, 2015 techkotomi Recommended After watching many anime and reading many manga, I would recommend Clannad AS to most people just as strongly as when I first finished it. (I cry to it just as much too.) What sets After Story apart for me is the encompassing world it develops in addition to the main story. The completeness of the narrative is beautiful and rare, since many other media products of our time give up on telling a complete story for a variety of reasons. A plethora of stories are all told at once for the imaginative viewer who appreciates all of the series' nuances. Without spoilers, by the ... Read more Open Gift Report
Nov 12, 2009 -Naami- Recommended To be frank, I despised the first season with a passion. For the life of me I couldn’t understand what was so great about it. Yet I still saw the fandom of Clannad everywhere; from the forums to it being favourited on every other profile. I promised to stay away from ~After Story~ after witnessing the fail or rather mediocrity of Clannad. However, seeing the rage of it rising faster and louder with it being currently ranked #1 on the site I caved. Like a kid being peer pressured into smoking I reluctantly watched it. And I’m glad I did. This is a continuation of ... Read more Open Gift Report
Jan 30, 2010 Dragon422 Recommended ~After Story~ is an anime that touches people's souls. I watched it, and was blown away. This was just less than a year ago. I just spent the last 4 days re-watching Clannad and Clannad ~After Story~. It made me recall that the first season was actually good. The first time I saw it, it just paled in comparison to the ending of After Story, giving me false memories of it being bad when I thought back to it. After Story was still even better. The second time through made me admire the pacing the script writers had to go through to achieve this amount of emotional connection ... Read more Open Gift Report
Mar 13, 2009 Splitter Recommended Clannad caught me off guard last year being incredibly different from its predecessors, Air and Kanon 2006. There wasn't so much focus on a story as there was just following the school life of main characters Nagisa and Tomoya, as well as all their friends. When Clannad ended, Clannad After Story was announced. After Story not only guarantees its like its predecessors, but does so in a way that almost makes it excessive and, in the end, shameful. Though this may be the case, After Story is still a superior follow-up to the first season, following a more structured storyline, deepening characters, and still portraying ...

May 9, 2013 wumbmasta Recommended Clannad ~After Story~ Review FIRST: Do NOT watch this show or read my review without first watching season one of Clannad. Although it isn't "necessary," watching season one and experiencing the character development throughout it greatly helps you understand the story and value the characters. Plus, it was a pretty damn good show. Story-10: Read more Open Gift Report
Jan 13, 2011 trzr23 Recommended “He loves her. She loves him. They accept each other. And so they lived happily ever after…” What really happened to them “after”? How long did they stay together? What happened to them when they were together? No movie or show, let alone an anime, has ever answered these questions. Read more Open Gift Report
Sep 11, 2009 asdfrq2dg Recommended So it has finally come to this. As I'd watched this anime I felt compelled to review it, heck I've done it in my head many times over. Every time I had a new thought, realization that made it greater in my mind. The reason for doing this is most likely that Clannad succeeded in amplifying every single story arc, making it feel grand, perfect and complete. It was around halfway into After Story that I'd realized I am in way over my head. This does not deserve to be dissected and reviewed like some faulty piece of garbage. No sir. Clannad has grown on me ... Read more Open Gift Report

Mar 1, 2015 Smugdear Recommended Our life is like a cycle, sometimes we are above and sometimes we are under Clannad ~After Story~ is a sequel from Clannad and an adaptation from the original Visual Novel created by KEY. The anime often heard in my ear as one of the best anime. I always ask myself, ''Why? Why Clannad very famous? Is it really that good?". But now, I know something special is exist in this story. If you looked Clannad AS, there is not much to say about the plot. It told us a tale of a man that suffer the difficulties of living, and how he pass through it. ... Read more Open Gift Report
Dec 27, 2011 ToxxicTeardrop Recommended "So could these lights be shadows of something? If they are shadows, their bodies must exist somewhere else. Could things that exist somewhere else in some other world be creating these lights?" Clannad After Story, sequel to another brilliant project of Key visual arts, brings you the magic of what a story can hold. It has the old high school romance, the friends, the drama, but it's not afraid and most certainly not attempting to hide it's supernatural aspect. You won't feel intact with the beauty of what Clannad has to offer if you don't realize the 'magic' behind it all. It brings life, and wonders ... Read more Open Gift Report
Aug 11, 2011 longshoremanX Recommended there comes a time in every anime fan's life where they say to themselves "oh shit is that piss? IS THAT PISS?" No wait wrong situation, oh there comes a time in every anime fan's life where they find that 1 show that they know is better than the rest. They know it's the best they ever seen and that nothing will top it. I'm talking about the day where they find the best show they'v ever seen. To me that moment occurred after i finished watching clannad after story last year, And you know what I've watched a large amount of shows almost all of them ... Read more Open Gift Report
Feb 15, 2009 Yandere Recommended Preliminary (18/24 eps) Clannad After Story is a beautiful story about the continuing and blossoming relationship of two of the main characters from the first season of Clannad, Tomoya and Nagisa. The plot is a bit more mature and serious, as most of the story does not take place in high school anymore, but instead revolves around first, some of the problems of those still close to Nagisa and Tomoya while still in school, but from there the story shifts into mostly just Nagisa and Tomoya. Yet again, the story takes a more serious turn as it goes on about Tomoya's strained relationship with his father, Nagisa's failing ... Read more Open Gift Report
Jul 31, 2009 theeggman85 Recommended There are some animes that uplift us, and constantly make us laugh and smile each and every episode. There are animes that sadden us, show us a world where some people tried their best but didn't quite have the ability to make their dreams come true. Then there is Clannad After Story, which seams together these two extremely emotional qualities flawlessly and presents us with something truly unique and amazing. It is a very real story, beautiful in its simplicity yet powerful with its bold emotions. It will send chills down your spine in the way it is able to show the biggest wonders within the ...

Mar 25, 2015 Fai-ry Recommended "Sanae told me where it was okay to cry. It was in the bathroom and in daddy's arms." Both Clannad and Clannad: After Story are amazing animes (and if you haven't watched Clannad and are planning to watch After Story first, make a U turn and rethink that... seriously), however none is flawless. For this review, I'll present, in the first place, the positive aspects of each category and then proceed to present the negative ones. Story: 9/10 Read more Open Gift Report
Apr 10, 2010 danceljoy Recommended WARNING: THIS REVIEW IS NOT FRIENDLY. IT'S LONG, DETAILED AND NOT FOR AVERAGE VIEWERS OR BEGINNER ENTHUSIASTS. But don't worry, no bashing and all my critiques are not biased. Reason why I give Clannad AS a 9. It deserves it and I'm magnanimous to all the series that impresses me. I may even be horribly biased against shoujo and school animes generally due to their lack of creativity but I must admit that Clannad AS has broken those genre's ingrained weaknesses and made me utter a big “finally!” The line that summarizes everything: It gets better. Clannad AS is a major leap not just from its prequel but drastic ... Read more Open Gift Report
Jan 27, 2012 Hengao Recommended Love, Family and Sorrow. Clannad [After Story] was the one who changed my whole viewing about Drama and Slice of Life genre anime.
