I just wanna talk about Anime!

2. Clannad

How I came to find Clannad

Long story short, I came across a YouTube video ( forgot from who ) that talked about sad animes. And guess what? Yes. Clannad was there.

I watched Clannad on YouTube, but was only able to find up to episode 10 for some reason, and I was IN LOVE. So I did what any anime lover would do….ask my parents to buy it for me. There’s an anime store where I live, and surprise! They had it!

65 dollars! (/ _ ; ) I got it for Christmas!

64 dollars again when I found out there was a season 2…got it for my birthday.

BOY DO THEY PUNCH. My feelings. I’ll never be able to see Dangos the same. EVER.

MINOR SPOILERS! (Mainly for S1) You have been warned!

Characters who made me stay :

Akio Furukawa

Husband goals tbh. This man raised my husband expectations way too high, that I know damn well I’ll be single forever. I blame him. I blame it ALL ON HIM.

He’s just such a good dad! (*꒦ິ⌓꒦ີ) Knowing he gave up his dream of being an actor, for Nagisa. And him yelling at Nagisa, that it wasn’t her fault. That he did it because he loves her, and- UUUHHGGG my heart! He just loves his daughter so much, and is always down to joke around. He’s funny, and to what we see, is so in love with Sanae. The fact that they both do their dramatic “quarreling”, where Sanae runs off “crying” and Akio runs after her, just to bring some joy to their daughter??? Like???? That’s beautiful??!! I’m in tears.

Oh, and him being like a dad/ bestie with Tomoya- *chefs kiss* makes me ugly cry.

Youhei Sunohara

One of the funniest characters out there, I swear this boy never failed to make me laugh.

Seeing his friendship with Tomoya, was honestly so fun to watch. Both are good people, who are just a little lost at this moment of their lives.

While he may have come across as annoying at times, and always getting in some sort of problem, I would have liked to see more of him and his personal life. We mainly got a few glimpses of his personal life, and how he cares for his sister. Aside from that, I still very much enjoyed his presence in the first season of Clannad.

( I know it’s kinda blurry, but I just love this moment. Just two bros being bros)

Tomoya Okisaki

Our protagonist all throughout the anime.

Honestly, I wasn’t expecting him to be the protagonist, I thought it was Nagisa, but I didn’t complain. I was interested to see where his life would go, and how he would grow.

I found it sweet that he wasn’t some Highschool perv, or a cold asshole towards the woman kind. His interactions with the girls, all seemed friendly and genuine to me. With Kotomi, he’s like an older brother. With Fuko, he was mainly just playful and teasing with her. Treating her like a little kid, and never overstepping any boundaries. He didn’t really overstep any boundaries with any of the girls. Respectful boi.

For the first season, he mainly started to change his “delinquent” ways, for Nagisa. Cute start, yes. But in Season Two???? My god, this poor boy can’t catch a break. Like- why man? WHY!? Why was life like that to him!?

For a high schooler who saw the world as only monotone, he grew so much. Honestly, he reminds me of my brother. Maybe that’s why I felt some instant attachment to him. My brother too, during Highschool, was lost. Skipping, getting into trouble, not caring about much, but seeing him change when he’s surrounded by people who genuinely love and care for him, he’s a good person. And Tomoya just reminded me of him.

Clannad : After Story

What can I say? I haven’t seen such a perfect second season in any romance anime- ever.

Clannad Season 1, was just the appetizer. Season 2! Is the MAIN COURSE!

Everything that went down in S2, broke me. Tore me to shreds, put a bandaid over me, and then continued to stomp on me!

I honestly don’t want to spoil much of what happened, because Clannad is one of those Animes that I ALWAYS recommend, so I didn’t want to go too deep into it. With Season 1, I’m fine spilling a few things here and there, but Season 2? My lips are sealed. 🤐

Just know…

It’s worth watching. Please, believe me! It’s truly a life changing anime.
