You know, I was really excited about this when I first heard and now after watching the first two episodes... I'm not so sure anymore. When I initially heard there was going to be an after story my thought was that they would show how Nagisa & Tomoya live their lives together after finishing school and such. I guess it's okay as it because it's another full season but I hope towards the ending of the series, they will show the real after story. I guess I'll just to watch some rather slightly humorous and some what interesting characters live their school lives again...sighs. Seriously though, I hope this show doesn't suck as it goes on.

It is one of those type of shows where you have to watch some before it really starts to hook you. I actually liked After Story more then the first season, there are many points in After Story where they are talking about profoundly deep ideas that many people never ask themselves until the day they are forced to confront it. The only negative thing I could say is the very last episode is just a rehash of events and there is really no need for it.

This is a rare anime where you may actually learn something about yourself or the world watching it.

episode 18 is one of the best episodes i have ever watched. i definitely shed many tears. the weird thing was that i was still able to cry even when rewatching. that generally doesn't happen and just proves how emotional episode 18 is. ushio is the most adorable child i have ever seen in anime. i'm looking forward to future episodes.

Tomoya: NAGISA!!!
I actually find most anime educational in some way. Like Death Note.

I don't think there's ever going to be a show that will replace Clannad for me, and I doubt that I want one to. I love the Characters, in fact there was not one character that I disliked during the course of these nearly 50 episodes. That's saying something to me. I love the plot, it was well thought out and nearly every episode has at least one beautiful moment. And I love the Romance between Tomoya and Nagisa, one of the most believable couples I've ever seen. And they didn't even have to kiss onscreen. Ushio was a fantastic character too.

The ending I did not like so much though. I know that I am being bias here especially after praising it in the first paragraph. However, I did take a lot of consideration for the series as a whole. The continuous dramatic episodes especially after episode 16 is simply wonderful. I got carried over immensely. That's what makes this show beautiful. I am impressed on how they portrayed the dramatic events happened to the protagonist. You can say that I'm moved.

Therefore, I gave this show a perfect score of 10. I disregarded the ending part which made this show to go downhill for me. The bad ending too was even worse. They should have ended it with both of them alive. Anyway, it's all the matter of personal preference. Nevertheless, this show will be remembered. I enjoyed this series as a whole. I was about to give this a score of 8 when I watched the final episode. However, since the series itself is powerful enough to move people's hearts, I still gave this series a perfect score! I'm sure this will be a series I'll watch again and again. I loved every minute of it.
