Clannad is an exciting mixture of drama, romance, and comedy. As soon as Fuko came into the story, I was hooked. It's like reading a good book that you absolutely CAN'T put down. You just keep watching... and watching... And before you know it, it's over. Then you mentally prepare yourself for season 2.
I love the characters in this anime. La la la loveeee. Fuko was my favorite, by far. She doesn't have a main role, but she's SO FRICKIN ADORABLE. Honestly, I don't particularly like Nagisa. She's just a bit too plain for my liking. Then of course there's the whole Tomoya/Nagisa deal which is actually pretty adorable. Sadly, they never go into detail about Tomoya's dad in the first season. But Nagisa and Tomoya end up together, which is quite the happy ending to the first season. The extra episode at the end with Tomoyo and Tomoya was just plain annoying. It just kept dragging on and on about how Tomoya was nothing but a distraction to Tomoyo. Then in the end it's all like "The sakura trees are saved! I love you!"
Overall, I really enjoy this series. Although there are many positive views to the series, some of the sub plots went on too long. It got a little boring. I've heard that there's more drama in the 2nd season, so I'm crossing my fingers! :P
