A market test of the demand for an anime adaption of Tomoyo After? It seems that Kyoto Animation is tumbling down the path of milking popular franchises (Lucky Star as well) instead of moving on with other stuff, running the risk of alienating fans. Like for example, I’m not a really huge Tomoyo fan (although I [...]

More than any other company in the world, Key associated with the concept of moe. It is responsible for revolutionizing the visual novel with its heavy emphasis on tragedy and empathy. The heroines of Key games are deeply flawed (some might say too flawed), and to care for them is to feel the pain of [...]

Perhaps predictably or perhaps not, Clannad ends on an “Awww…” rather than a “Wow!”, which ironically was the resolution I was hoping for. It makes me all the more interested in the ‘after-story’ that’s promised since the final scenes are less of an ending and more of…a new beginning? It’s certainly not any sort of [...]

Sometimes I wonder at the scheduling decisions that lead to oddly numbered series runs - take Moyashimon’s bizarre episode count of eleven for instance. The reason why I’m interested is, like in the case of Moyashimon, Clannad could have done with another episode or two that would eventually give it a 24, 25 or even [...]

Clannad is an adaptation of Visual Arts, a game from Key. The anime has done quiet a good job of combining the game's plot lines and making them into one really good show. The characters are balanced, each having personal matters to face. The main character in the show is Tomoya Okazaki. Other key characters include Youhei Sunohara, Fuko, Kyou Fujibayashi, Kotomi, and Tomoyo Sakagami.

I haven’t watched Clannad, and am not crazy about the huge eyed characters, but this Cherry Blossom image was cute, and seemed appropriate for the time of year. Early April is when the cherry blossoms bloom, and soon there-after fall like pink snow.  Sakura is the word for cherry blossoms in Japanese.

  This episode picks up a few weeks after episode 22, Tomoya and Nagisa have been dating for a while, and they really haven’t gotten past or even to the “holding hands” phase. It’s summer break and Tomoya and Nagisa are attending additional classes which Tomoya thinks are a waste since he won’t be attending college, [...]

With the past few episodes being slowish in pace and high in drama, it was time for the usual dose of comedic relief in the form of Mei-chan. The last time she appeared there wasn’t very much in terms of development, even though she is a side character. But this time around, we see the [...]

I think that I would have enjoyed Clannad A LOT more of they just focused on Tomoya and Nagisa’s arc. Screw all the other girls because that just made the pacing bad, the show had stunts of boring periods, a lot of weird filler like scenes and a lot of time was wasted on Fuuko [...]

Well I’m not really posting this as news, seeing as how plenty others have already commented on this, but since I’m a big Clannad fan and I blogged the series, I thought I should talk about this somehow. If you didn’t know, Clannad After Story anime has pretty much been confirmed. This is absolute wonderful [...]
