Finished Air, now moving on to Clannad. Hard to tell if I like it or not right now, but hey, it didn't suck.

But man, how old were Nagisa's parents when they had her, 10?:)


Nah, the father looks like he's 40ish, and I'm betting the mother was a loli till she got knocked up, hence the asking if she's an older sister :P

Damn I love this series, but it's still not great enough for a 10 (I'm still yet to find an anime I think deserves one).

i love how at the begging of this episode they transitioned from shades of gray to color


I've noticed that happening a lot lately. In the first ep of this, the first ep of Haruhi, and the first ep of a few other harem/haremish animes. Is it the staple to show that they're saying 'Hey! This girl here is the main character/the one the main character will end up with in this series!'

Kind of annoying that.

And like always, 'Spectator's View' is awesome. They should've kept that going through the whole series instead of going for the 'kick-counter'.

Lol, is Pappy really that old looking to you? Possibly I guess.

Maybe the mother just has a gene that makes her stay young, or some form of eternal youth due to the diet of the amazing Furukawa Bread; she might be over 50 for all we know.

Let me know if you do find an anime that deserves a 10. ;P

Lol. First episode was not a bad way to start it I guess. My favorite scene was the ownage delivered by the one and only Tomoyo. Also, opening sequence was quite nicely done.

I have finally started this series it is about time really.

But because there is still more coming out for it I am going to slowly watch it until the next episode is out. Then I will pick up more.

okay now on to what I thought about the anime.................

*takes deep breathe* It was really good unanswered questions but other then that good.

I liked many parts of it like Nagisa's Mom that was funny well sad but funny just how she looked. The Pink underwear and Tomoyo's parts.

All in All I give it a 8/10

Well, the introduction was very good actually. You can see how Tomoya and Nagisa are destined to change each others' lives and how Nagisa appears as a healing angel to Tomoya.

Came across this one by chance.
Looks interesting.
Can't say I particularly like the overly cutesy way the girls are drawn in this series, but the basic plot has me intrigued enough to at least watch the next episode.

oh yeah i finally get top rewatch clannad,after 3 long months :D

i'm going to post my thoughts about each episode,and hopefully i won't left andy spoiler escape...actually i'm pretty sure i can handle this :P

ok so the first episode was ok,not clearly outstanding,but it had some funny jokes(spectator view ftw :p)...i think this is one of the weakest epsiodes in the series anyway,but since you just get to know the characters,it's understandable :)

Fuko and Kotomi make their debut(?) next ep yay :)

My rating for this episode: 3/5

rewatching :D
oh gosh, I missed this anime so much
the episode felt fresh and brought back all the memories I felt when I first watched it :') (+ more appreciation :D )
waaah! I love kyou<333 sunohara's moments are still hilarious to me xD
nagisa's parents are just the nicest and coolest parents, making tomoya feel like he is part of the family the second they met him :')

and I just realized how revealing the OP is :O
seriously >.> for someone who has completed this series... I wonder if I'm the last to realize this...

Nice one, but Clannad is nothing compared to Air. No magic at all, just a normal school series. Also, did I mention that Nagisa is far too pitiful?

Ok I gotta be honest, this was strangely entertaining, and I can relate to this.

I only have an issue with this... it's the art style, it's the kind I hate the most, these uber deformed faces and especially the eye drawing style (especially for the the girls) annoy me so much...

Anyway, art doesn't make a story, so I'll try this one out and most likely finish it.

Ethanol! LOL this was hilarious, I simply loved it!

Wowow, I just realized the anime cliche of having the protagonist sit in the far back right corner of the classroom. -_-'

I wasn't too fond of the art when the episode started but it's always something one can adapt to.

The dad was the best character in the episode for me. Ethanol made me lol.

I thought Nagisa would be the ghost that group of guys was talking about, since she said she isn't noticed by others. But I dropped that idea when her family showed up.

The ending was pretty cute...

Anyway, I will definitely continue watching this.

This seems like a good Anime, but something really disapointting happened, the dvd's I bought are in bad condition, small scratches everywhere... And it must've been like that when I bought it. If it keeps freezing or jittering the screen while watching, i'll have to ask whats wrong with it, or get a replacement from where I bought it. I only noticed it the most on the first DVD.

I just would like to know how good is this show so I'm watching this..

So far, so good. Nagisa's family is surely hilarious esp. the father.. LOL.

But one thing I disliked even before watching this is the girls' eyes which kept

me away from watching this before but since everybody's hype about it and

also I wanted to see a drama anime, so I'm drawn back to this..

Their eyes maybe annoying but it's not something that's hard to get over with.. :D

im watching it for the 4th time, and its simply one of a kind

right from the 1st frame on this episode, im back exactly to how things were from the last one in after story. its pretty amazing how well done this series is. the way they introduced the characters in this ep was awesome..

it may actually be the best "cinematic" experience ive ever gone thru
