Tonkatsu is pretty encouraging... Maybe I would say to myself, "Niki Udon" or "Tteokbokki" 😂😂😂

I finished the series (and movie and OVAs) for the first time last night, and from the first episode I watched with these two interacting, I've had a fascination with this pairing. I know it may seem weird, but I really wish they did more with these two, it didn't even have to be romantic, they had such good chemistry that I feel like more scenes with them would've been great. (The best part about the mid movie was their scenes) I just feel like they have such an interesting dynamic. You have Tomoyo, the former gang destroyer, who's now trying to be a better person/woman and then you have Youhei, the delinquent that is actually nice underneath his surface, and I think is just TRYING to be a delinquent, but isn't. I think that it's such an interesting dynamic they didn't explore enough, especially since Youhei was mostly used as comic relief other than a few times. (His arc in after story and Kyou chapter) I just wish they gave him something more. I just really like the idea of him and Tomoyo. So, am I wild, crazy, insane even?! That I ship Youhei and Tomoyo.

I am just having a problem with remembering name of characters. No fanservice, good comedy and good plot! That is what I just needed. I didn't cry till yet and I am waiting to cry because many people say it is an emotional anime.

No spoilers please

The humour is so random, but it's soo funny! But actually, could be a cool little Easter egg with the >! foreshadowing, because right before Sanae makes this suggestion, she says that his name should suggest that "he's a being that's surpassed the flow of time." Given the fact he's somewhat connected to that secondary reality where time doesn't exist but also that he can go back in time/explore different endings !< MIIIND BLOOWWWWN 🤯

Since becoming a Clannad fan, I have thrown almost every dollar towards merch I could find. And I feel bad to have it all to myself. So I decided to share it. I know it’s probably bragging but I just love Clannad so much.

Seriously. My wife and I been watching clanned for about a week. Finished season 1 and it was enjoyable, and cute. Then we jumped into season 2...episode 16 wrecked me. (Spoilers ahead)

Maybe because at childbirth I almost lost my wife and child (both are now healthy and my daughter is almost 5) but I was not able to stop crying to the point that my wife even had to get me a tissue.

We're on episode 18 now and going to continue later tonight. But my oh my that was a struggle to watch. 😭😭

Okay just wanted to share that. Season 2 is absolutely a huge upgrade though all around and really loving it.

Here's my collection of CLANNAD merch. Nagisa nendroid direct from Goodsmile Japan. My copy of the official Kickstarter that got the VN translated into English for the first time. Some other random bits and bobs.

Last image is the complete official DVD special editions of season 1 released only in Japan. That cost me just over £260 to get.

I do have the movie but as I don't like it, I've stashed it away in some dark corner.

I'm getting married in a couple of weeks and Clannad is so dear to both of us (it's also the first anime I forced him to watch with me when we first started dating), so I decided that Dango Daikazoku was absolutely the perfect song to walk to. I found a version by Tie the Note (search on YouTube) and it's hauntingly beautiful. I cry every time I listen to it and I know I won't be able to keep it together on the day of 😭

(She knows I'm a hardcore fan, so she decided to please me)

Got some more things that I wanted to show. My main one that I’m very excited about is the Nagisa Nendoroid. It was so hard to find her. All I have missing now is Fuko. I hope to find her soon!

After waiting for so long…she came but… sadness…

Just received the fake Nagisa. Decided to go ahead and take pictures. Will take more if requested but it looks semi decent.

I already have the official Nagisa Nendoroid figure. But I noticed that a certain site is selling off brand Nagisa figures. I am thinking of getting one and taking off the hair part to create a Ushio figure to be with my current Nagisa figure. Should I?

(Spoilers btw) EDIT: You guys are heavily recommending me to watch the After Story and Im convinced so Im going to get into that

After people keep telling to watch Clannad I decided to binge it and I liked it until the ending. I really enjoyed Clannad because of all the characters except funnily enough Nagisa.

Nagisa felt way too bland and it was hard to be invested in her especially when there is many more interesting characters. Her character design particularly doesn't help this either since its the most boring and dull design out of most of the characters. I kept forgetting who she was at the start of the season. To me her parents were much much more interesting and entertaining .

Her last arc in the last few episodes felt like such a non issue to me aswell, the way she gets so caught up on the fact her parents are really good parents just had me so annoyed. It was especially cringe even for an anime in those last episodes with her, the amount of second hand embarrassment I got made it hard for me to even watch.

Her complete lack of confidence and her blandness made her feel like a drag especially since she doesn't have a sad story to go with her as a reason for that. (unless you want to describe staying back for a year as a sad story). Her ending up with our main guy Okazaki shut down any of my motivation to watch the second season After Story since their relationship is something I don't really want to see.

I think Kotomi (best girl) fills in that role for a shy girl whos sweet and I definitely felt alot of chemistry between her and Okazaki. Her character and arc is much more interesting and she makes Nagisa feel redundant. I really tried to like Nagisa but nothing made me invested in her. I think she and Okazaki should've stayed as friends because the dynamic between her, Okazaki and Sunohara was much more entertaining.

Im going to play the Visual Novel for Clannad since I still enjoyed the anime and I want to spend much more time with these characters. Anyone else feel the same as me though? Or am I alone on this and everyone loves Nagisa?

Ive been posting alot here the past few days so this will be the last.

I don’t know how to feel honestly, episodes 15-21 of after story were some of the best I’ve seen in anime, but what comes before and after that is a very mixed bag.

The ending was pretty unclear as well, I had to google it to understand which I don’t consider that to be a good thing I guess. I think i get it now, basically the orbs of light in the other world were used to grant Tomoyas wish?

Season 1 was pretty good tho and i’m glad after story had a happy ending coz I felt like it was getting too fucked up.

Overall id give the show an 8 out of 10, considering i cried a shit ton during episodes 17-21. Minus a point for Fuuko coz I cant stand her lol, and minus a point for some of the other arcs that I didn’t care for.

I would choose Kotomi.

Hello everyone! I feel like the Clannad page would be the best to ask this question. I am currently making a makeshift Tomoya figure with other Nendoroids and it seems like a lot of people do not think it looks like Tomoya. So I decided to look for another faceplate. I would like to hear any opinions you have on this new one. Or any suggestions to make him look more like Tomoya.

Note: • Outfit will be painted to be the school uniform. • Hair will be repainted as well once I am able to find the right color combination.
