--- Quote from: HiddenJumper on October 24, 2011, 11:49:50 PM ---Really, Tatsujin? I watched 1 Litre of Tears, and I just couldn't really feel that horribly upset. I feel for the girl, but because I know I won't be able to go through what she did, I couldn't really connect with her as a person on an emotional level of that magnitude. At least with Clannad, Okazaki's and Nagisa's relationship is similiar in alot of ways to my own relationship with my g/f.
The connection is just hard to make with Litre than it was with Clannad. I did, however, look up the disease the girl suffered from after watching the series, and read up a bit about the girl herself. It was emotional, however I couldn't make the connection for some reason.

That's your opinion. My opinion views pretty differently. If we push 1 Litre of Tears to the side, there are still few others that do a better job for expressing drama - like Kimi ga Nozomu Eien. I'm not the type that likes miracles and magic happening and Clannad has those for once. Clannad is a really really good show. I've seen it about 5 or 6 times already. I just don't like the "magic" it has for a drama show.
But then again. 1 Litre of Tears is a hell of an awesome show. Nagareboshi is another superb awesome drama show - fucking love Ueto Aya. Taiyou no Uta is another favorite of mine, too. The music and story were really great. It's such a shame these Japanese Dramas weren't adapted into an anime. Those three that I mentioned are above Clannad in my drama collection. I was also planning to re-watch Clannad again ... but well ...
Now if they would make Tomoyo After anime with True Ending as the sad part and Good Ending with (click to show/hide)Tomoya surviving then I'd so watch that a lot.

I did actually find the magic aspect of Clannad to be a nice part. While it isn't the best anime to everyone, it is a good anime to most, not that I particularly speak for most. :P
(click to show/hide)The way they revealed parts of the alternate world in pieces over many episodes and you really didn't know what that was about til the very end. I was kind of like " Ok, now that makes sense " If you are referring to the Fuko arc, well, that one I liked as well, if for no other reason than it was touching in it's own way and Fuko was cute as hell. ;D

The best thing about Clannad are four things - The characters (I mean, seriously. Nice tsundere characters, different types) - The Music (big pluses) - The Story (it was done well, but with one digit off ...) - and finally, the Coming of Age. Clannad does a hell of a good job on Coming of Age, viewing Tomoya's life and difficulties, challenges and aspects that awaits him and how he deals with things. I still love Clannad. <3 I have hope for Tomoyo After anime ... one day it shall come true!

True it is an awesome show when it comes to Coming of Age. Usually you have those high school romance shows that end when school is over with a happy ending, in Clannad we experience something extremely rare in Japanese Anime. An actual continuation of the lives of our friends, the things a youth gets to experience on becoming an adult (I don't mean sex but the real harshness of life), the reality that becomes your own and how hard life can be. At these moments you get to gain a lot of respect to your parents for seeing how well they do their jobs.
(click to show/hide)In case of Tomoya and his father it was even harsher, I remember that time when Tomoya had a chance for a good position at a friendly company they were working with or been friends to (don't remember clearly) and his father's deeds caught up to him and blew things away.
Reality sometimes sucks, and yet he was still able to be happy.
You don't get this kind of anime often, not even rarely, it's a super rare kind of show.
You can hate Nagisa all you want, but her contribution to the story drama is unconditionally 100%.
Without her in the show, this would be a typical happy go lucky harem without an ending.

Hmm this makes me both want to watch it, and run away.
I guess its not anime? I see it was a tv drama and a movie..

To answer your question, yes. These are Japanese Dramas that don't have manga or anime relations. They're really good and above your average level of drama - Anime has yet to do some touch ups like those I mentioned. There are still more good stuff out there but those three are among my favorite.

Hi, I finished watching both Clannad and Clannad Afterstory, what a ride it was! Anyway, Clannad Afterstory ended for me, regardless of what others say, its closure was pretty good (even if I thought it would end another way)
(click to show/hide) The only thing that threw me off was the epilogue, where we see Fuuko (or was it Fuko) with her sister walking to the hospital, and then she runs off and finds Ushio in the woods. She started asking Ushio for her name, because they met for the first time! I looked at this post : http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20120303172833AAzKK1O and I found I was following the story pretty well, except for that last part.What was up with that? Didn't we see Ushio with well and alive parents in the scene prior to that? Or is that another alternate reality?
Thanks for the help!

Oh KEY is famous for forcing a happy ending or should I say the nakige genre in general anyway, basically yes it was just a dream and they all live happily ever after due to alternate universes.
I still stick to Clannad being super over-rated as a VN and an anime. You all are just not trying to find good dramas, instead just spam everywhere that this is hands down the best dramatic anime/visual novel. Not saying I think Clannad is not good, just gets way more praise than it deserves.
Only fantastic thing about Clannad is Tomoya Okazaki. KEY did a superb, wonderful job for everything about him. Coming of age story of the year.
