Clannad - Anime Review

Kay, so this is not a new series, just a review I wanted to do for LightFykki. There will be an Elfen Lied review coming up soon, so stick around for it!

Title - Clannad

Episodes - 24 (the second season has 24 as well)

My Rating - 9

Genres - Comedy, Drama, Psychological, Romance, Supernatural

Themes
- Bishojo, Moe, School

Plot Summary - Tomoya Okazaki is a third year high school student resentful of his life. His mother passed away from a car accident when he was younger, causing his father to resort to alcohol and gambling. This results in fights between the two until Tomoya's shoulder is injured in a fight. Since then, Tomoya has had distant relationships with his father, causing him to become a delinquent over time. While on a walk to school, he meets a strange girl named Nagisa Furukawa who is a year older, but is repeating due to illness. Due to this, she is often alone as most of her friends have moved on. The two begin hanging out and slowly, as time goes by, Tomoya finds his life shifting in a new direction.

My Opinion
- A truly amazing anime. While the first season only gets a 9, the second season goes above and beyond and would definitely score a 10. This series is definitely a tear-jerker. It seems as though every character's back story goes deep, and is tragic in some way, but that just adds to the overall story. The graphics are very well done, and every character is unique. Tons of comedic relief in there, and the romance, comedy, and drama balance each other out well. You will definitely not be disappointed when you watch this anime!
