Anime Review - Clannad (Season 1)


Clannad Review by DjKagamine
4 of 5 ★★★★

Clannad is a great "Slice of Life" category anime, With it's Full Season of 24 episodes they were able to relay their story in a very nice pace, The season itself is divided into different arcs showing how our main character Tomoya Okazaki deals with different situations, The great storytelling really develops their characters to the point where the viewers can easily understand what the characters are feeling and going through, If you are planning to watch "Clannad" be ready to laugh and cry, maybe smile from time to time too.

I would personally rate this as a 4 Star anime because of its nice pacing and its great execution and meaningful story-line, and would recommend this to anyone who would be able to watch this and its Sequel Season "Clannad After Story".
It's a great anime, but I personally can't give it a perfect 5, still looking for that perfect 5 star anime,

(Warning Contains Spoilers)

Episode 1 :

"On The Hillside Path Where The Cherry Blossoms Flutter" 5 of 5 ★★★★★


Episode 1 had a very nice way of introducing our main characters including a little bit of background to show us what our Main Characters are going through, Finding suitable ways to tell us about our Main Character Tomoya Okazaki's past and introducing to us Nagisa Furukawa. An interesting start to the season,

Giving this episode a 5 of 5 for basically giving quite an enjoyable episode that leaves us wanting to find out more,

Episode 2 : "The First Step" 3 of 5 ★★★★★

Episode 2 was more of an introductory episode, Introducing the viewers to many of the other supporting main characters in the series like Kotomi Ichinose and Fuko Ibuki, Most of the episode consisted of our Main Character Tomaya meeting up with these people, Other then Nagisa finding out about Tomoya's injury, To be Continued... , Leaving us with Nagisa fainting was probably the only part that had to do with the story keeping us waiting till the following week to watch what happens next,

Giving this episode a 3 of 5 as compared to the previous episode most of this episode seems very meaningless, At this point of the story it seemed pointless for Tomoya to have met Kotomi and Fuko, but still a three star episode for giving us a little wonder what will happen next at the very end,


Episode 3 : "Once Again After Crying" 2 of 5 ★★★★★

Episode 3 a slight start off to find out what happened to Nagisa and that was all, It's definitely to early to get the main character severely sick, but with it being this way the whole To be Continue in the previous episode ends up being rather pointless and was only used to make us worry and sadly worry for nothing but the first 5 minutes of this episode, Another episode telling us a little bit more about Nagisa's wants to act in a play even without experience or interest in it otherwise, Hitting us with another to be continue with Nagisa being called to the Student Council's Office, The start of Clannad doesnt seem that great, but it's only the beginning.

Sadly giving this episode a two out of five, other then the side comedic relief of Sunohara, this episode introduces us to another character and hints us a little bit to Nagisa being quite frail and how she was sick quite a lot, This episode a seeming low to the season, nothing interesting happening yet, but lets see how the story progresses.


Episode 4 : "Let's Find Friends"
