- Yes, this is the reason people who watch anime are prone to tearing up in pastry stores, I'm glad you asked.

After finishing the series.... trust me whenever hearing the dango song its gonna rain
Even the instrumental hits so hard!
When I started the rewatch, I was on breaking point when the instrumental of Dango Daizouku started at Nagisa and Tomoya's first meet.
Bro I feel you. I not even funny how this show gave me ptsd
I got a dango tattoo on my arm as a tribute for this anime. ❤
It’s alright , she came back alive
Fuko's autism really lifted up the mood during the last episodes.
The opening scene on the hill is one of the best, if not, THE best introduction in all of media. The visual storytelling is just stunning. I’m tearing up as I type this. F*ck, I love Clannad.
Unpopular opinion i guess: Fukos arc was the perfec length.
Because it gave me room to grow attached and dang did it work really well
I'm so happy to find someone who loves Clannad as much as I do. I've watched it at least once a year for the last 13 years, and it was my first introduction into slice of life
Clannad S1 is so underrated these days. Shame a lot of people write it off as just average and boring(compared to After Story) but I still think its still holds up and is better than a lot of shows of the same genre coming out nowadays. What I love about it is just how comfy and relaxing the show feels in its slice of life moments while also having some genuine heartwarming/heartbreaking drama.
I 100% agree
Facts
It was interesting to see a video focusing on just the first season of Clannad. I do think AS was better, but not by a long shot. Both are great and worth viewing. My only real issue with Clannad season 1 was that Fuko's arc was too long (as you pointed out) and it got kinda boring for me. After that though, things picked up quick a bit. I'm glad you also touched upon the music. I always thought the OST was very nice and I haven't seen that many people talk about it.
I had to split it up into two videos so I wouldn't end up making an hour long monstrosity haha. It was kind of strange with Fuko because I noticed that Kotomi's story was just as long while editing. I guess hers is just paced better. It's surprising to hear that you haven't heard much fanfare about the music, I'd say it's one of Clannad's most famous aspects. Thanks for taking the time to comment!
@@Totaraum You're welcome! I'm glad you split it into two videos actually. To be fair, I've only watched Clannad in it's entirety once as of now, so maybe my thoughts on Fuko's arc might change a bit upon re-watching the series. Maybe discussion about the music is more common than I thought it was. I'm not involved in the anime community all that much so what do I know lol.
This
This Anime is one of the most influential stories in my life. When I hear the Dango Song I cant help but tear up.
Kitome, Fuko, Nagisa, Almost every single Arc battles for my favorite.
But Akios speech is the biggest highlight of season 1.
That speech makes me cry almost everytime
It’s a pretty great speech
@@Totaraum Also, Akio is like, Easily best character.
Spoilers (Kind of) for after story for anyone who hasnt seen it but.
My favorite part is when he says he will make tomoyas child Aki.
And after the time skip, Ushio the entire time calls him Aki.
Its something i didnt notice oddly enough until the second time i watched through it
I really think that people emphasize the tearjerker aspect of Clannad too much and give it too big of a rep for being "sad and depressing". People seem to go into the series with unrealistic expectations, wanting heavy drama throughout when that's not really the point of Clannad. While it contains sad MOMENTS, it's actually a very uplifting story when looked at as a whole, through of course the themes regarding family. This is one of the better analyses I've seen of the series.
I’m glad you liked it! I agree, it’s got a lot more going on than just tear jerking drama
Poor Kappei, Kyou and Tomoyo at least got an OVA, but he got nothing. And that’s a shame, because his route is easily one of my favorites, only after Nagisa and Tomoyo.
It is kind of strange that they just cut him entirely, but I'm sure it was necessary for pacing purposes
CLANNAD is a masterpiece
CLANNAD ~After Story~ is so life-changing I hesitate to call it "fiction"
The one thing I wished that you mentioned is that most of what people say in this show has layers. For example, the long climb at the foot of the hill is literal, describes how long it takes from beginning to their confession, the amount of light orbs that Tomoya has to collect, the fact he has to watch his wife and daughter die twice in order to save them is all contained in this one line after you watch both seasons.
Is amazing in so many ways, the first time watching it hits you so hard.
I'm a simple Man. I see someone is a huge fan of Clannad, I subscribe.
I’m glad to hear that! Clannad is the best
Clannad and After Story needs to be watched a second time to fully appreciate all of the art and wonder of this story. Things that seemed random on the first watch reveal something special on the second. And so many well-developed, rich characters that have some real depth. Pretty f*ckin amazing!
I agree, you miss so much your first time around. It’s the kind of thing that only gets better the more you watch it
"Im not crying... its raining"
You did a really great job on this video! I think people don't really give the credit for S1 that it deserves. Sure, AS is the meat of the story, but it's partly because S1 sets it up so perfectly. I love it as it is, flaws or not. I dont't watch that much anime, like i used to (I'm 35 now, holy s***), but i always come back to Clannad and AS from time to time. It has a soul like none other. I won't say the old cliché, that it changed my life. But it sure lifted my feelings about my friends and my family. That's the most beautiful thing about Clannad. It is, and it will always be my favourite anime.
Thank you! I agree, season 1 deserves a lot more love
absolutely love the quality of the videos and especially after finishing clannad a couple days ago, this really just feels right
Thank you, I’m happy to hear that!
Same. To cope I watched them in the wrong order, still I’m genuinely surprised this channel doesn’t have thousands, or millions of subscribers.
And after watching this it makes me not wanna watch any other anime because this one has impacted me so much and thank u to this beautiful anime I was able to push myself and focus on myself and to never let myself being consume by work whenever i felt depressed
I’m glad to hear it’s made a positive impact!
This is actually really good,
You explained your point very well and I have no way to disagree with you
I’m excited for your thought on Clannad After Story
Thank you for the kind words! I'm glad you're looking forward to After Story
@@Totaraum No problem man👍
Just starting this video 😢, this series gave me some real trauma.
I've never never cried until i played Clannad
I've been meaning to watch Clannad. I'll definitely try watching it after I finish all the other anime I haven't finished yet. Great to see you back and a really good video.
Thank you! I do hope you get to watching Clannad eventually because it's a super special show. Also I've been here the whole time, it just takes about a month to make these videos lmao
Understandable, since it takes a long time to watch the anime, edit, voiceover, capture footage and etc.
Did you watched it?
Nothing has ever made me feel this much per hour I’ve interacted with it. Every episode has had me crying, laughing and cringing (in a good way). Just finished the show today and I’m ruined, drained but also hopeful and amazed. It’s hilarious and heartbreaking at the same time and I can easily call it my favorite.
Thank you for this well made video, I’ve nobody to talk about anime with irl so this is a very welcome substitute. It’s also wonderfully professionally made, which adds so much to the viewing experience. Really, I’m so thankful for this video.
Glad to hear you found a new favorite, and that you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching it! Also it might help if you just do what I did and force your friends to watch the show with you lol
@@Totaraum My friends are either anime haters, who think it's "uncool" or whatever. In my mind they're just insecure of being nerds and limits themselves to tell themselves they're not nerds, unlike me who embraces my nerd side haha
Or they watch anime, but don't like emotional stuff at all. I watched 7DS and AOT with my friend, but he's not an emotional person at all and while I've told him to watch it I know he never will, and I don't think think he'd "get it" either. So sadly I have nobody to convince to watch it.
@@noamias4897 Hm... that's a shame. Hopefully your friends come around soon. Nowadays enjoying anime isn't something that's looked down upon by the majority of people
@@Totaraum Indeed. I think it’s more that they’ve just started going out more, so they wanna tell themselves that they’re not nerds like that while I just do what I enjoy. Or they simply don’t like it, I’m not sure. Thankfully there are lots of discussions online to read, but sadly since Clannad is a bit older you can’t discuss it per episode on forums as you would with something newer, like I did with Attack on Titan.
By the way, do you have any recommendations for people who like Clannad? I also love Your Lie In April, so I guess I’m just a sucker for emotional stuff in general
@@noamias4897 hm… hyouka, fruits basket, angel beats, and kaguya-sama love is war comes to mind
Personally I liked the Fuko part... I kinda wish there was more of her...
Another video is confirmed.
Sweetness
Yup, I hope you'll look forward to it!
THE INTRO WAS SO GOOD OMFG
Thanks!
It’s amazing how your channel manages to feel the void Clannad left in my heart. I just can’t get enough off it! Please keep going!
This video inspires me to make a Clannad appreciation video on my own. Time to research!
That sounds great! Please let me know when you finish it
@@Totaraum Sure. Let me subscribe so I can remember
@@Totaraum While we're at it, do you have any movie editor recommendations? I have 2 different software but none of them are really flexible on the subtitle aspect (I want to write the subtitles for my own video)
@@choi-r7108 I personally use premiere pro because that's what I learned editing on, but if you don't want to fork over an arm and a leg to buy it I've heard amazing things about davinci resolve 17 and it's completely free
@@Totaraum I tried adobe premier briefly before but I'm confused, guess I'll look at this davinci resolve. Thank you very much
Thanks so much, this deserved way more views and Clannad should be popular (im french btw)
Thank you for watching! I’m happy to hear you liked it
Top tier intro
I don't like listening to music while I study so I decided to put this on to listen to in the background. I ended up making way more progress in an hr than I expected to.
Hey that's awesome! Glad I could help
Glad After Story is getting a separate video :)
Fuko arc is also very important to Nagisa. They bond a lot here. You see how she cares during Kitomi’s arc. Checking up on Tomoya during him work on Kitomi’s arc.
You deserve so much more recognition, keep at this
Thank you! I’ll be sure to keep at it
Man, what a great video, and what a great anime! After having finished After Story about half a month ago, it's still lingering with me and consuming me. I'm happy I have patience and didn't drop it during Fuko's arc, because to say that I was rewarded tenfold would be an understatement
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it. And yeah, if I were to change anything about the first season I’d make Fuko’s arc just a little shorter. The more people that end up sticking around to experience the full story, the better
OMG the intro. Amazing
So I have been on a Kyoto Animation bender these past three months, so of course I was going to eventually get around to Clannad. To say the visual style and subject matter aren't exactly my typical go to for an anime series is an understatement. I always avoided slice of life series for more action oriented fare. Here lately I deceided to get outside my comfort zone and explore a side of anime I have clearly neglected. Well I have to say Clannad totally wrecked me emotionally, more so than any other anime series or feature I have yet to see. Just the sadness of watching Fuko slowly being forgotten tugged at my heartstrings. The first season was fun and interesting and I enjoyed watching it, but we all know that this season is really just a setup for what comes next......
Clannad will always be my favourite anime and vn
This video was fantastic. I watched Clannad and After Story last year and loved it so much. I wanted to watch it again right away but restrained myself so I could watch it with my friends at our weekly anime night. Covid restrictions cut us off right before we started the Nagisa arc... (thank god we weren't already in After Story though). It's been half a year now and the waiting is killing me! This video was like a shot of dopamine to help keep the craving at bay lol. Now to watch your After Story vid!
Haha I know that feeling of delaying a group watch due to COVID. Thanks for the kind words!
Like always a 10/10 video , man love your videos !
Thank you! I’m happy to hear you enjoy them so much
Watching this doesn't really tell me anything new, it just reminds me that there are other people that have appreciated and loved this series as much as I have. I hope that you do one on Tomoyo After (VN) as that's a little more obscure on account of not being adapted into anime format
Love this video👍🏼
Definitely one of my favorite reviewers im hype to see more 🤝🤝
Thanks! I’m glad to hear it
Clannad was one of those animes you can rewatch every couple of years and still cry at the dango theme, i don't understand why some people hate part 1 it was very well written and helped the characters evolve to a realistic level, it wasn't just a love at first sight or tomoya trying to rizz on nagisa, both of them took their time trying to get along with other characters, the fuko arc wasn't bad as it was just okay until the wedding episode (that made me cry because i thought fuko was a real person and not some ghost lmao) part 2 was definitely the best part of the anime
Here I am, revisiting condensed feels, and then you put in some RvB. Fuck man, this was made for me.
[the sads]
Edd Saying that hurts me more
i loved the spoiler warning XD
Yeah, the other stuff in Clannad/Clannad: Afterstory is all sad, but Fuko... Fuko hit me hard for some ungodly reason.
I'm always a fan of how people seem to get attached to one of Clannad's stories more than the rest. I'm sure there's some psychology stuff behind it but I'm not the one to ask about that lmao
I couldnt get enough of Fuko. Her arc could have been even longer for me
yeah, looking back I think I disagree with my complaint about it now. It deserved to be as long as it is, I guess I just wish there was a choice in the matter of which arc to tackle first. that's what the visual novel is for though, right?
@@Totaraum
Yeah exactly :)
Even after all of these years, I still see fuko as being worthy of being bulli'd
As much I love this anime I don't recommend watching this. Just the simple fact that it is very extreme psychologically. I know cuz I was contently thinking about it for like 3 days and now I have PTSD 😂
It may be a little hard to stomach for some people, but I'd say the benefits far out weigh the costs
@@Totaraum I agree
I still have some PTSD, And my gosh do i love this anime.
Just read my comment on After story, My thumbs hurt from typing that out.
Look at Tomoya’s lesson he learned at the end of After Story
Oh boi the second season is something else I'll tell you that much 😂
indeed
I think i preferred the 1st season, the 2nd was mind blowing but so sad
True, but I think part of what makes the second season so good is how gut wrenching it is
Pfft, 65 hours, that’s child’s play, I’ve gotten over 120 hours out of the original VN not even including Tomoyo After and Side Stories.
Ha ha ha....
What am I doing with my life?
I'm still < 10 hours gameplay and no I'm kinda scared
I played 50 hours in and its not even close to end :D
progress update; 58 hours gameplay, 5 light orbs collected. I heard there are 14 orbs in total, so... yeah, not even half of the content
Needed this after seeing trash taste call S1 boring. I don't get it I think its just as enjoyable as most of the more popular slice of lifes even if it isn't on After Storys level.
It’s hard to say for me too, but that seems to be the popular opinion. I always sink into my chair a little when I hear trash taste bring up season 1 lol
@@Totaraum Its even weirder when The Anime Man always claims he's a huge Clannad/Maeda fan but agrees with S1 being boring despite him also having the VN in his favorite games.
@@julohans6157 yeah, idk. I guess it's weird that he sat through the visual novel but got bored with the anime but it's probably been years since he's touched the vn
Did you diss the Dub? The Dub is for this perfect.
Hey i really really what to watch this video but I've never seen clannad so just wondering if the anime is worth the watch
Absolutely it is, go watch it and I'll wait here to hear your thoughts
@@Totaraum Hello Mr.Totaraum I have Finished the first Arc of the Show (the
Fuuko Ibuki arc) Firstly This show from the start gave me mad Haruhi Suzumiya vibes. The shows kind of weird at the very very begging like first 5 min. And I there's some supernatural stuff as well. Something Haruhi Suzumiya doesn't have is the Feeling that oh gorsh man at anytime in this show something could go wrong. Again I've only watched the Fuuko arc but I thought at anytime something could bad and fast. This could only be me but I really liked that part about the show. Some thing I didn't like has the Fuuko Kinda went on and on and at the end of the arc I knew exactly what was going to happen. That being say I did really like the very end of the Arc Fuuko hugging her Big sis and accepting that people weren't going to be able to see her until she awoke up was Touching. Now I'll talking about the characters.
Tomoya Okazaki is great he's very similar to Kyon from Haruhi but Different Enough to still feel like a different person yes he's a smart mouth lazy but he's caring to people he likes and is very outgoing and just kinda chill around other people that's something Kyon doesn't have.
Nagisa Furukawa is another great charecter. Again just like Tomoya Nagisa ,
Nagisa Furukawa gives me mad
Mikuru Asahina Vibes and again like Tomoya she different from Mikuru. I like how hard work Nagisa is her cuteness is very cute if you can believe it and she's very caring and she's willing to do something just because it will put a smile on a person face. Fuuko is a harsher Nagisa she has a sharp tongue like Tomoya and is lot more childish but she loves her Sister and worked very hard to hand out starfishes for her wedding. Next the last person I'll talk about in dept Youhei Sunohara I love this fool he's a moron a loveable one. He's the dumb friend we all have and we all love. Now the BIG BOI problem the slapstick IT"S NOT FUNNY. The slap stick is not used right in this show, Watching
Tomoyo Sakagami beat Youhei to a pulp is not funny is makes me want to stop watching the show. That one scene were Tomoyo Sakagami pulls Youhei fingers until he falls down the garbage thing was animated spectacularly but the problem is how frantic and terrified Youhei looks it's just really really uncomfortable to watch. Ok now that that's all out of the way what are my thoughts of the show. Well to real this show is good but nothing is making you say wow this show is great. I mean it good but with slow pacing really really bad slapstick. The shows not bad but any means but nothing (so far) has blown me away I like the Characters the story is good but it doesn't have that extra push just but I'm hopeful if the show explains the Characters and fixes the pacing I think this show could be great. 78/100 (edit) The Dub is good sometime but I'm going to be real if I didn't like dub a lot more than sub I would most likely watch the show in subbed. And I'll be back again when I watch more
@@godzillaman123 Cool stuff, I'm glad you're going through with watching the series! I like all the comparisons you drew between Clannad and Haruhi, they were adapted pretty close together so it makes sense. I gotta agree with you on the slapstick, but while I'm not the biggest fan I do love all the other jokes. Looking forward to hearing more!
@@Totaraum Ok ok I just watched ep 14 and I think that's the end of the Kotomi arc. Wow that was so good. Ok I'm going to get some the smaller problem I have out of the way Firstly the Dub isn't great it's ok but It has some problems. Next the arc takes I long time to pick up there's a little bit of time that just isn't that eventful. That's about the only bad I have to say. Now Characters Kotomi is just great she's cute as heck and the tragedy of her parents is just so sad and I will say I think she act a lot more hurt about what happen to her than Fuuko did so I felt alot more sad about Kotomi than Fuuko.
Next Tomoya Okazaki I said he was alot like Kyon from Haruhi but next I can't say than. The more i watch
Tomoya Okazaki the more I like him. He seems like a really really really great dude and I can't just ignore how funny and caring he is. Nagisa Furukawa is great was well. The main problem I have is she doesn't really change at all in this arc but if she changes it will be in her own arc so I'll talk to you then. Kyou Fujibayashi is the most changed in this arc not named Kotomi but I really like Kyou Fujibayashi in this arc a lot more than the last I get to see a lot more of her good side and not just her bullying people around. I like how the stapstick is a lot more turned downed and when it does happen it's alot more funny because Tomoya Okazaki gets on her nerves first so it kinda deserved. Next thing I need to talk about is the Soundtrack I don't mean the ops just the background noise. Music in the show is great just great. It's the best soundtrack in a anime a watched since Cowboy Bebop. There one track I really really love Track 4 Town, Flow of time, people. That track is great it always puts me on Edge and peeks my curiosity. Now I think the pacing of the arc was great I flowed well and it wasn't dragged out. Now Want to talk about 2 more things. Ep 12 the last 4-ish minutes When Tomoya Okazaki was entering to Kotomi's house that was a great scene. The music and camera work add alot of intensity and curiosity to the scene. The way Tomoya Okazaki walks up the stairs in the dim light was incredibly well done. I like the fact Tomoya Okazaki and Kotomi were friends as kids idk it's just cute. Lastly the ending of the arc. That ending was to incredibly beautiful and sad the way Kotomi has to accept her parents death to break out of her shell and start living life to the fullest is so astonishingly Beautiful and sad it made me cry for like 5 minutes or something. The last shot of right before the birthday party to end episode and arc was magnificent. I don't have many bad things to say about this arc it was great from start to finish. The first eps of the arc weren't very eventful but they were still fun. The last half of the arc is something I with remember for the rest of my life so thanks Totarum for showing me this show. I'll talk to you next arc bye bye.
@@Totaraum Hello Mr.Totaraum It's me I'm back and I watched the Tomoyo Sakagami arc I'm at season or volume 2 ep 6 that's the end of the arc I think. Not first I need to thank you Totaraum for getting me to watch this show. This arc is my Favorite so far. First I need to talk about Tomoya Okazaki holy crap I love this dude a lot. He's my 4th favorite male character out of all the anime I've seen. I love how caring he is I love his humor I like how he doesn't take things to seriously unless it's about Nagisa Furukawa. I love Tomoya Okazaki a lot I really do I could go on and on about things but I will not. Now Tomoyo Sakagami She was my Least favorite character for a good long time in this show. I didn't hate her or anything but I just didn't like her. This arc changed anything like most of the characters she's caring and sweet to Tomoyo Okazaki. I love the Chemistry Between her and Youhei Sunohara there just funny together. Something I like a lot is that Nagisa Furukawa isn't in this arc. With Nagisa gone it really helps the other characters in this show well show other side about them. Now the best reason I really really love this arc the Romance. I'm a sucker for a good Romance story and this arc hit the nail on the head. I love seeing all the girls slowly start to get feeling of love around Tomoya Okazaki. I like how the show takes it's time to let the character fall in love with Tomoya Okazaki. The last scene where Nagisa gets back to school then gets hurts and Tomoya Okazaki donsn't let anybody touch her was so bittersweet. Now I only have 6 more eps left of the first show I think. I'm watching the After Story like right after I watch the last eps. But thanks again for showing me this show I love it a lot I really do. That's all Totaraum I'll tell you about the last arc later
Hmmm was my comment taken down? I just wanted to repost part of it again just in case, but can you please do analysis video on different routes of Clannad in visual novel?? Would especially be interested in breakdown of kyou's arc since I want to understand more of what made it special seeing as the anime did not do it justice and curious to know how and why that is since never played her arc in the game
I hate it when this happens, sometimes comments just disappear and there’s nothing I can do about it. I am planning on covering the visual novel at some point though!
@@Totaraum lol I was able to find it agian...anyways thanks man your videos are amazing will totally keep supporting and rewatching
@@MamiSenpaiSensei I’m happy to hear that! Glad to have you on board
have you by any chance read tomoyo after? its an after story to the tomoyo route in the original clannad visual novel
I own it but I haven't started it yet
@@Totaraum you really have to check it out although I'd say that the nagisa route true end was more enjoyable because the whole story came together I'd actualy say that the tomoyo after route is better written and has a better ending as a fan of clannad you have to check it out it's a must
@@furudo_erika8094 I’ll be sure to give it a look!
@@Totaraum be sure to tell me your thoughts on it!
@@furudo_erika8094 It'll probably be a bit before I get to it, but I'll try my hardest to remember this comment when I do. No promises though lol
Just don't do what I did and watch your lie in April after clannad after story. Mistakes were made.
What anime are you referring to when you said “young sibling”?
I was referring to clannad after story, clannad’s second season
🤔 Clannad as a polygamous harem anime?
What would that be like?
