Clannad - TV anime

Genre Drama, Fantasy, Harem, Romance
Director Tatsuya Ishihara
Studio Kyoto Animation
Original run October 4, 2007 – March 27, 2008
Episodes 23

Clannad (クラナド kuranado) is a Japanese visual novel created by the software company Key, who also produced the successful titles Kanon and Air. The gameplay in Clannad follows a linear plot line, which offers pre-determined scenarios and courses of interaction, and focuses on the appeal of the five female main characters. Jun Maeda, the main scenario writer of Clannad, believed that the title meant "family" or "clan" in Irish.
Clannad was released for all-ages and does not contain risqué situations or even any fan service.
Clannad has made several transitions to other media: four manga series; an animated movie by the animation studio Toei Animation released on September 15, 2007; two anime series by Kyoto Animation; and, lastly, two sets of drama CDs.


Story

Clannad's story revolves around a group of five girls whose lives are connected to the same boy. Tomoya Okazaki is a third year high school student who dislikes his life. Tomoya's father turned to alcohol and gambling after his wife had died. One day he dislocated Tomoya's shoulder in a fight. Ever since then, his father has treated Tomoya nicely, but distantly, as if Tomoya and he were strangers rather than a family. This hurts Tomoya more than his previous relationship with his father. Additionally, the injury disables Tomoya from participating in his basketball club. He feels awkward being at home and also distances himself from school activities. Thus his delinquent life begins. Tomoya's good friend Youhei Sunohara, who got thrown out of the soccer club for a dispute, is also a delinquent and often hangs out in his dorm room with Tomoya doing nothing much.
The story opens at the beginning of the school year, when Tomoya finds that his life is about to change when he chances upon Nagisa Furukawa, a soft-spoken girl one year older than him who is repeating her last year in high school due to being sick much of the previous year. Her goal is to join the drama club, but they find that the drama club was disbanded after all the members graduated. Since Tomoya has a lot of time to kill, he starts to help Nagisa in reforming the drama club. During this period, Tomoya meets and hangs out with several other girls who he gets to know well and help with their individual problems.

Review:
This story is really hart warming! Nagisa’s nativity makes you happy even if you are completely down. It is pretty fun to watch the anime and the characters are really interesting. All the drama goes to your hart, you really want to cry with them, but unlike other stories everything resolves when they get to know each other better and form a family! I have to admit, that it would be better to just skip the last episode, but after all there is lots of other stuff (like a side story) anyways. And the parts with the girl and the junk-doll is actually the story of the drama play, so please don’t be worried! It’s just that you can understand it that way better! Besides, the characters are really good looking!

I hope you’ll enjoy watching it!!
