Clannad After Story Complete Series Collection [DVD]

I will remember this forever.

I was not overly enthusiastic about the first series (3 stars). However, I have now watched season 1 three times and have now only just finished watching "After Story". I think they compliment each other very, very well.Clannad sets the scene for the main characters and was, to me, the first few chapters in this visual story. "After Story" completes the picture, taking you on the continuing journey of the two young lovers, Tomoya Okazaki and Nagisa Furukawa."After story" was in no way what I expected, much more serious and very sad in places. You cannot help be feel sorry for Tomoya, losing someone very close (sorry about the spoiler). Yes it's only anime, but you can still identify or relate to the characters, which I did.I have given "Clannad: After Story" five stars, I wish I could it more. First class characters and storyline were very much evident. This is not normally the kind of anime I tend to watch, but I hope to a watch a few more of this genre.If you are going to watch this be sure to watch all of the 1st series. I thoroughly enjoyed this series (both series) and intend to watch again.The next series of this sort that I am going to watch is Rumbling Hearts and the Japanese language only version of the followup series.Clannad: Complete Collection [DVD] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]Rumbling Hearts: Box Set - Viridian Collection [DVD] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]

Clannad After Story carries on straight after Clannad as Tomoya, Nagisa & crew take the next step in their lives so please watch the previous series first. 25 episodes: 22 main series, 1 extra episode being a prequel to the whole series (episode 23 on the disc), 1 recap episode acting as an episode 23 (episode 25 on the disc) & 1 OVA episode (episode 24 on the disc)This series got me in tears multiple times and I'm not afraid to admit that. The humour is still here too as well as the soundtrackI recommend you watch the series in this order:ClannadClannad OVAClannad After Story OVAClannad After StoryOne final word: Please pay attention to the lore mentioned throughout the series as this will matter. A number of people who have watched this did not and lost out on the experience.I'm glad I got to cherish the Clannad series

I totally loved the original Clannad series when I got it last year, and just had to see the sequel (I've ordered the movie too, although I gather others don't rate it very highly). I was not disappointed - it is the best photo-play I have ever seen (in case you are wondering, I'm a 52 year-old man!). I have never been moved to tears before by what is basically a cartoon; parts of the story broke my heart (no spoilers here though!). (Actually, that's not quite true; 'Angel Beats' had me sobbing too!) Maybe it's because some of the events in the storyline were similar to my own experience, and it brought back sad memories; I don't know. But whatever the reason, it requires a great deal of emotional participation from the viewer; I wouldn't call it light viewing. Every anime fan (or even if you're not!) should see this series, and preferably its predecessor too - it is totally awesome! I hope there will be more in this series.

I made a review on the Clannad box set if you would like to go and read that :)I am just making another review on this to tell anyone else about the problem I encountered with this product.I love this Anime SO much; it is definitely my most favourite Anime EVER and I have a passion for it no words can even BEGIN to describe!~ It's unreal how much this series touched my heart; it caused me many tears!~I truly loved the characters, the story line was heartbreaking but the ending was amazing and truly completed this Anime perfectly!~The problem I encountered was that because I live in the UK, I didn't realise that I was in the wrong region to play this product, so when I got this order yesterday and tried to play it, it said 'The Wrong Region' and so I now have to go and buy a multi-regional DVD player which isn't bad, it's just annoying that I didn't realise this before.So, if you are wanting to buy this series, just keep that in mind if you are from anywhere else other than the US and that you might need to buy a multi-regional DVD player.This is the only reason that stops me giving this review five stars when the Anime deserves as many stars as possible!~I recommend this to ANYONE out there reading this!~

Clannad: After Story is undoubtedly one of, if not the most poignant, moving and heartbreaking anime that exists out there. Never has a story affected me so much as this. The life that Tomoya leads with Nagisa is truly one of the best stories ever written. The soundtrack fits perfectly with every scene, emphasising the emotional or comical values that the scene is meant to convey. And the Dub, which is rare to be very good in an anime, is very good, albeit not perfect, but the characters that feature most, Tomoya, Nagisa, Akio and others have excellent voices that fit the characters very well. In conclusion, I will say this how it is, Clannad: After Story, is an anime masterpiece that will be treasured for many years to come. I cannot recommend this and its predecessor, 'Clannad' enough. 5/5

The first half was good and funny. The second half bored me. But unlike everyone else I became emotional when him and his child went out to the countryside together reconnecting after years of neglect/rejection from the father. When the little girl met a friend, the weird girl from season one that funny. Sorry, can't remember any the characters names! Towards the end the storyline was very predictable. I preferred Season One.

Clanna seasons one and two will forever be the core of my anime library. the emotions that where moved about was impressive. I have viewed the story many times now and each time it discover another facet that expands the breadth and depth of the telling.

:') que puedo decir de Clannad es una serie que te hace crecer como ser humano, te enseña a que si te esfuerzas puedes lograr tus objetivos y como todo en la vida hay momentos buenos y malos :'(

ただし、海外版なので英語の字幕が出てきてしまう。

pacco arrivato integro e in tempi brevi.occorre fare attenzione alla regione di appartenenza dei BD in quanto non sono leggibili nei lettori Blue Ray europei.

Cada uno tendrá sus gustos y opiniones, pero CLANNAD es un anime que consigue captar todas tus emociones.Hay quienes afirman que quienes no lloran visualizando esta obra maestra no son personas, en cambio, yo pienso que esta serie no está hecha únicamente para llorar, es más, me parece mal decir eso.CLANNAD consigue que tomes otra dirección en tu vida, estremece pensar que la vida puede ser tan amarga pero cada sonrisa, cada sollozo, cada lágrima que dediques a algo demuestra tu preocupación por seguir adelante.En definitiva, recomiendo altamente la visualización de esta serie de animación, te dejará sin palabras.
