akaritan Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Wow, After Story was quite the ride. I'm really glad that I sat through the first part and didn't drop it. A lot of the routes felt tacked on, and felt very dull to me for the most part. I kind of think that it would do a bit better without so many, but I digress. After Story didn't affect me as much as it did other people, but there was a lot that I loved about it anyway, particularly how it showed the passage of time. It felt like I was watching the town change with Nagisa and Tomoya, and it was easy for me to empathize with them.Thank you for reading my ramble. On a side note, should I read Rose Guns Days, or the Cartagra/KnS series next? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eclipsed Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Good to hear you enjoyed Clannad! On a side note, should I read Rose Guns Days, or the Cartagra/KnS series next?Go Cartagra/KnS series next *evil cackle* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrael Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Yukine best girl!!!! Uhh... I mean... Nice to hear you liked it as a whole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvz Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 RGD is already finished, so you should read it first. It is a great novel, with incredible and unforgetable characters [most of them]. I even cried sometimes. Cartagra ~ KNS is also great, but the third episode wasn't even made yet in japan, so you'll have an unfinished novel until they do.

john 'mr. customer' smith Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 i just finished it 2 days ago, and i mostly agree, except after story hit me a lot harder.i lost count at how many times i burst into tears in the last 6 hours or so, and the ending gave me the most emotional moment i have ever had. ever.i was already familiar enough with key magic that it didn't bother me.i actually decided that i would read a basic explanation of what happens in the true ending before actually reading it, and i'm glad that i did.it prevented me from getting confused (like with kanon and air), which would otherwise spoil an emotional, meaningful ending.the only route in the school part i truly appreciated was kotomi i wonder though, should i still watch the anime?

LinovaA Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 (edited) Yes, more tears for the Clannad Tear Bucket Fund.Seriously though, glad you enjoyed it. xD It's kind of my favorite thing ever, so when people say they like it I always get a little feeling of happiness. i wonder though, should i still watch the anime?For sure. I mean like, it does cut out some of the fat, but that is entirely fine in my opinion (heresy, some might say, but I digress). If you want to get emotionally wrecked all over again, I can only recommend it more and more. It is a very well done adaptation and takes the best of Clannad and does well with it. Nothing like having certain scenes animated to bring a whole new level of crying to the floor. Edit: Oh yeah, and Fuuko best grill.

akaritan Posted December 24, 2015 Author Share Posted December 24, 2015 Yukine best girl!!!! Uhh... I mean... Nice to hear you liked it as a whole.NoFuko best girlYukine's pretty dang cute too, though. If Fuko and Yukine joined forces they would take over the world with their cuteness!i actually decided that i would read a basic explanation of what happens in the true ending before actually reading it, and i'm glad that i did.it prevented me from getting confused (like with kanon and air), which would otherwise spoil an emotional, meaningful ending.the only route in the school part i truly appreciated was kotomi i wonder though, should i still watch the anime? I didn't do that and was a bit confused, but I got it after mulling over it a bit. I agree with you on Kotomi, most of the school routes downright bored me most of the time, but I liked hers a lot. It was actually pretty emotional, and I ended up liking Kotomi way more than I had expected to by the time I was done with her route.Yes, more tears for the Clannad Tear Bucket Fund.Seriously though, glad you enjoyed it. xD It's kind of my favorite thing ever, so when people say they like it I always get a little feeling of happiness. i wonder though, should i still watch the anime?For sure.

And yes, Fuko is best grill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canicheslayer Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Fuko has the best route. For the best girl, I can't choose between Tomoyo, Kotomi or Kyou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toranth Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Fuko has the best route. For the best girl, I can't choose between Tomoyo, Kotomi or Kyou Kyou for passion, Tomoyo for competence (except English) and Kotomi for the most bizarre games of shiritori ever. Fuko for starfish.

V42 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Playing Memorial Edition, I read some routes a few years ago but now I'm replaying it from start, I'm about to finish Misae's route.I'm really liking it but that crossdressing part was kind of dumb and out of place, ruined it a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
