Yo,

Yeah, Eureka Seven Ao. Watched ten minutes and got bored. The music is nothing like the original and the character designs are ewww.

Watched a bit more Clannad. No offence, but that the main girl seems pretty one dimensional and her parents are annoying. >.<
Forgot to mention, That blonde hair guy is bloody annoying aswell. I enjoy it when the girl bashes him up.

I'm assuming AS makes the blonde hair guy a....... likeable character? Or he already is.  ::)

The card captors DVD's go for like $500. No joke. But they're re-releasing it in australia. :D I remember watching it on Cartoon Network aswell! All good until the theme song came up and my dad was ... on the computer. :'(

Did you watch it uncut and all that? I never liked uncut anime, when I was a kid, as it sounded like R 18+ stuff.  ;D

The main guy is alright. What episode does it get intense or 'better'? (For teh first season) (I won't skip!).

BTW If I don't cry at this show, Does that make me heart less? ;)
lol clannad doesn't exactly shine until mid way to end of season 2, however, the characters will grow on you, it's on arcs, so the first season focuses on the different characters and their respective 'arcs' as they appear in the game (visual novel to be exact). You'll see that in AS, almost every character is likeable and you can personally relate to almost all of them. Ohhhh trust me, you will shed a few tears at least in season 2 lol, there's a reason why it's ranked consistently ever since it came out top 3 of MAL and on aniDB, this show is just that powerful :P

Clannad was better when it was just a VN.
Yeah I do admit that some of the side arcs were probably done better in the VN (I've played through the entire VN), but there are OVAs for tomoyo and kyou, the tomoyo one is a masterpiece and I think is done much better than the VN (cmon it's animated!) but the kyou one lacked impact and wasn't as emotional as the one in the VN. However given that, they did a reasonable job for each characters respective arcs, I mean it's always hard to animate a VN and clannad is by far one of the best animated VN there are, compare it to all the other junk VN-adaptions, clannad is a league above.

However the main route, Nagisa x Tomoya, is done almost to perfection in the anime, you can't really find ANY problems with the animation of this arc. It's widely agreed that it's probably the best animated main arc out of any VN adapations.

This is what makes Clannad AS so much better than the first season, the first season was just there to follow the side character's arc from the VN and slowly make you grow to understand and like each character. But this is essential to understanding the main arc in the 2nd season, without the first season you will not understand the transformations that the 2 main characters have undergone through their life, which in AS is done to perfection.

Seriously, just read the reviews on mal (actually go read some of them, they're written so eloquently, better than any review i can ever come up with lol) http://myanimelist.net/anime/4181/Clannad:_After_Story, there's not a single bad review on this series, and most MAL viewers are picky kents :P

Oh, Visual Novel. >.<

I'll probably watch like one episode a day, I tried watching more than two and it kinda got stale. :P

Did you see the Rurouni Kenshin OVA yet??

EDIT: Does that mean you've seen Air and Kannon? I hear that it's 'like clannad'. :O

Also ridiculously cheesy though it's animation and the Illusionary World storyline somewhat redeems it
It's really not that hard to quantify..., but I believe that being raped once is not as bad as being raped five times, even if the one rape was by a gang of people.

not yet, it's downloading :P

ive seen air and kanon, they pale in comparison with clannad, key's only good work is clannad, although some ppl like air and kanon, the majority consensus is that clannad is by far the best. Angel beats comes pretty close too though, although it's a bit too short to have an impact.

:D, You better not be downloading that movie they made of Rurouni Kenshin. Now that was BAD. OVA's, good stuff. :D

Have you seen the Clannad Movie? (I'm guessing the answer is already a yes. :P). If yes, Any chance you could tell me how if it's any good?

I read a few reviews of Clannad on MAL and it seems to me that this show is life changing. >.>. I'm guessing it'll be more worth while than attending a mediocre VCE stress less/what ever seminar.

LOL ive seen the movie, i've seen everything clannad related, the movie is crap, it's animated by a different company, the character designs are completely different, ignore the movie, don't watch it, it'll just ruin the show for you lol

and yeah, the MAL reviews aren't exaggerating, when i first read them i was skeptical too, but after you watch it... holy shi-

Don't get me wrong, I loved watching Clannad. I just really like visual novels.

Wow Fate/Zero is amazing, every episode is like a movie, and the animation is probably the best ever, action scenes are unparalleled.

Goddamn you TT - I spent the last two days watching this.
My only excuse is that I was sick... I wasn't going to get anything productive done anyway =.=

It seems pretty unanimous that Clannad is good. >.>

Tony, I watch Hellsing OVA. The latest one was pretty o.O. Especially with the priest and Alucard.... :P
