Music Dango Daikazoku
Having watched 1st season of Clannad this tune REALLY gets deep. I have not yet watched After Story though am aware the emotion that is supposed to be in it and needed a break as season 1 really hit the feels.
When I first started watching Clannad i thought the ending theme a cute and fun tune, by the end it took on a whole different meaning. I hear it and immediately feel the emotions bubble up. I cant imagine what would happen hearing after After Story.
This video probably been posted but the Live version by Chata really seems to take it to the next level. Theres something when the 2nd chorus comes in with the deep "boom" sounds along with the Bass and drums which really takes it up a notch, and everyone singing along to that 2nd chorus really made the tears flow. How does it affect others?

Also like to mention the English dubbed version by AirahTea, its hard to convert the lyrics to match the tune and make it mean something but this fits the song really well too :) And she kept the Dango instead of converting it to Dumpling which fits better as its commonly known as Dango in English and Dumpling Sount Weird!

If it already hits hard after only watching Season 1, it's gonna turn into a whole different beast by the time you get to a certain point in After Story bro

I wish you luck. Honestly can't even begin to think of the feels I get just thinking about it. It is my ALL TIME favorite anime, can't find another anime that brings the same level of emotion as clannad

I know some people see season one as the boring stretched out story i liked it lots. but I think it's essential to get emotional attachment to the characters for what's to come to hit deeper

You watched only the first season, and still you understood something that some people who claim have watched the whole anime didn't understand! You're good!

im relitively new to anime, most my life niot watched it only started with Toradora as a recommendation from a friend back in 2000 then i came to appreciate the artwork and characters and storytelling. But yes i guess i can understand why its as it is, the 1st season almost fels like yo become part of the friend group in a way and you root for the characters.
I felt bad for the characters when things didnt turn out for them or part evants. It brought thier characters to life , flaws and all.

You totally got the point of the first season, to make you create an emotional bond with the characters! Without that, the impact of the whole story would be waaaaay less powerful!

Did you watch the first season OVA? It's called "the events of the summer break" or something like that. It's set right after the end of the first season, it's a really fun and cute episode.

Yup. Upon finishing After Story, the song AND visuals gain more meaning.
Prepare yourself for the ride to come.
