I just rewatched this episode this morning. As this is my second time through (dubbed version though), I'm rewatching key moments and trying to understand the characters a bit more.




Anyhow, there are few programs, Anime or not that inspire me enough to watch again and again, but this is certainly one of them. I love it. As far as first episodes go, It's like getting hooked twice by a treble hook on a fishing lure, and it has caught me again.

Aside... Going to have to get used to when and when not to use spoiler tags I see.

My second attempt at getting into this crap.

What a nightmare.


Cockroach family sales bread, imaginary world and matrix coming out of nowhere, girl that used to be a fukkin' batman, punchbag-Sunohara aka "LOLcomic_reliefLOL - it's not funny though! TROLOLOLO", cookie-cutter moeblobs...

...WTF is this?




This time I'll finish crapnad! I'll prove my manliness and endure this horror! FOR THE EMPEROR!

So far it's really cute. I'm not so sure if it's as brilliant as some say yet, but I'm defiantly enjoying it. :3

Ok, this episode really surprised me. Yeah, I've heard enough overhypes about Clannad, but still I dare to say that I got even little more than what I expected. The characters are great, especially Tomoya. Nagisa's family is great too, and her father just rules the scene! The animation is so-o-o-o-o good, I just didn't see it coming. Especially the girls' eyes - they express so much emotions, it's hard to actually explain it :0 I like very much the background themes. And there are hints that the story can take some very interesting direction. I'm yet have to watch the OP and the ED with the next episode.

Easily 10/10 for now. This anime seems to combine too well nostalgic feelings, melancholy and even comedy.

Finally started watching this XD I have to say I'm surprised, it's not at all what I expected :P
I thought the opening sequence was really well done with its muted colours before flashing to its full brightness XD
I didn't really like the OP at all, but the animation was good. It sounded like she couldn't sing lol, but I liked how it introduced the characters. The ED was pretty cute :P
I actually like Tomoya more than I thought. His personality is very interesting XD Didn't expect him to be so hateful and downhearted or whatever :P Although why do so many people have annoying voices? I mean I hate Nagisa's already and she's such a mash up of everything I hate in characters. Even got a weak body too ... OTL
Ryou's voice is annoying too. Although I kinda like Kyou XD Tomoyo too, she's pretty cool :P Although kicking someone off a motorbike?! Uh ... OK O_o
Nagisa's family is really weird. Crybaby of a mother, her father's better but still kind of odd :S Tomoya's got a disfunctional family too (surprise, surprise) with a dead mother and alcoholic father ...
I wonder what that part with the young girl and Nagisa at the end was about though? Take him away to a part of town where wishes come true? Hmm ... o_O
More girls next episode. The animation was a lot better than I expected. I was ready to hate the art but it's actually pretty good lol. It seems like Tomoya lives at the school or something? o_O

I finally decided to watch Clannad after hearing only good things about it.

Thus far, its a very calm anime, but I'm not necessarily amazed or disappointed. Let's see how this anime goes. I couldn't stop laughing during the ED for some reason.

Probably since you're watching Chuunibyou. But it seems you haven't watch any Key shows(Air, Kanon, Little Busters) so you don't know how Key portrays their characters.

clannad's character designs makes it looks like itd be crap, but im surprised from the first episode the undercurrent emotion in all the scenes. the artistic direction is smart, i like how flashback and current time is seamlessly entwined. the music is good, and nagisa's family is a riot. a lot of these harem mcs get on my nerves, but main guy seems confident and relatable. ill bite.

1. Clannad isn't anything close to a Harem.
2. The animation in Clannad is Top Men. Top... Men..
3. The Music is THE BEST.

Keep watching sir, you shall be rewarded.

Top... Men... Top... Men... Top......... Men. I'm not sure if "Men" is a typo, if it means something in Romanji, or if it's a phrase you made up. But I love it XD! "(in a conscending upper-class tone) Only the lingustically malpracticed say 'Top Notch'."

Promising start. There are some scenes that I didn't understand but I suppose they just foreshadow the depressing things that's going to happen.

I just loved Nagisa's family. They're so funny. xD

I don't understand this show at all, yet.
Your mean should be an even bell curve only if you watch every show that comes out. Having a high-slung mean doesn't mean you're rating improperly. It can also mean you're selecting shows well to watch mostly things you enjoy.

Yep. :)
That was one of the gags that first hooked me on the show. I liked that they played around with anime tropes like that. Wasn't enough of that later in the series, though. But I have no complaints with what the show ended up becoming.

the anime looks so good and flows so well! but i dont like the eyes, they're weird
"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy."

Watched first episode. IMHO only Nagisa looks kawaii with those eyes, every other girl is "meh". Also haven't cried yet so is that a good sign or no?

I like lolis.

I don't like them sexually.

It's hard to not like lolis, their cuteness pander to the same emotions that naturally makes us fathers.

But it's hard to get off to anything that doesn't have any adult women characteristics like large tits, ass, and thighs.
