## Description

Another vlog-type video of talking about Clannad. The video pretty much explains it all. Still, I felt like crying a few times, especially during After Story.

## Transcript

Hey everybody. Well, I just finished watching the *Clannad* series- Let me tell you something: end of the story, the end of episode 16, it absolutely broke my heart. Seriously, I'm pretty sure *Air*, I'm pretty sure hasn't been able to top Kanon for emotional feel, but Clannad has come very, very close. I tell you, it's about that far off from topping Clannad in sadness, seriously. Man, honestly I really felt like crying some of the times and it's not very often something causes me to do that. The last thing that moved me that much was Avatar. That has slightly different effect on me.

But that's not important at the moment. It's just... a few things don't get. And thats towards the end of After Story. Okay, first of all, After Story has two special episodes which they show in the early 20s of After Story. They're repeating two episodes that they've already shown. What the hell's the deal with that? That's it- it wasn't enough to show you once before. What?! And another thing that's apparently mysterious memory that Tomoya having, but I don't know if I should say this because I'm pretty sure there are a lot of people haven't seen it, if I say it is going to be a spoiler for them so... I think I'll keep it to myself for the time being. If you want me to say- say it then you know just drop a comment down and it's all set. Other than that, I think I'll stop myself here and keep it to myself for now. Just for a second for people who don't- haven't watched Clannad who really want to watch it. But I will warn you, if you're going to watch After Story, then make sure you have a box of tissues nearby. I guarantee some people who watch this are going to be the really sensitive type who cry easily I'm telling you.

The original Clannad I think seems to take some of *Lucky Star*'s comedy and use it more. I guess there is some sadness in it, but mainly it seems more like a comedy based thing with a few meaningful things built in. But when you get to After Story, that's when they- that's when it becomes really deep and emotional. I think that's where its tries to use Kanon's emotional feel, actually. And I can say that because I watched Kanon. So yeah- Either way, yeah, besides that, I actually really liked it. I thought it was really well made. Even though it doesn't have an English dub. It doesn't matter, I'll watch anime in English dub if I- that's all it's available in, you know? Well no, it does kind of contradict itself because *Yu-Gi-Oh! GX* has only dubbed 155 episodes and the rest are in Japanese and I don't want to watch them so that does kind of contradicts what I just said. [?]... think about that. But regardless, I think my favorite anime is *Air* solely in subbed format than- yeah, I'll watch it in [?] but if they only do about half a season of an anime in English then do Japanese, it kind of ruins it, personally. Yeah, it just kinda ruins it, seriously. What's the point-

And now that I finished Clannad I'll probably do another which anime girls would I do list. There will probably be a video response to Hoshimaru57's 'which Clannad girls would I do' video, but some of my responses will probably be different to his. Yeah, so either way if I have time I'll probably go ahead and do that. In fact, I think I'll probably do it right after I've done this video. I'll tell you one thing: Nagisa has a very interesting family, I'll tell you much, very interesting. Most people probably want to know what I mean by that. Let's just say... watch Clannad to find out. Just for how interesting- sorry- that they are. And you'll get the drift. And, anything else I could say about this... I can definitely say this with certainty, KHF wasn't actually that far off, I think the Fujibayashi twins, Ryou and Kyou, and the Hiiragi twins, Kagami and Tsukasa are actually almost spot-on par- that doesn't make sense did it. They are almost identical practically, even though I think Kyou is a far more hardcore tsundere character than Kagami is. So, yeah I think with her you'd have to tread really carefully.

Anyway, that's probably all I think I'll maybe say for Clannad, another of Key Visual Arts' anime. And another thing actually I think KHF was right on; you know they made male characters of Key's animes [? all sometimes] major douchebags- I still haven't looked that word up though. They're actually very likable douchebags. I actually like Tomoya. I know, he may be a miserable sod at times, but I- but once you get through that he's actually a really nice guy. And- although I don't get why he's hanging out with a [?] like Sunohara. Either way, I think he's actually a really good guy. So yeah, I actually quite like him. So in conclusion of this video, I'll say this: Key, great job. I think you've made another really touching anime. Brilliantly done. I don't know why there's some people who don't seem to like it, but I do like it. I just hope that doesn't give you the wrong idea. But anyway, brilliant job, I cannot wait for your autumn or fall season anime to complete the seasonal cycle let's call them- yeah I know that sounds weird. And so that's all I really got to say so... I should probably get onto that other video, so sayonara.
