It'd be major spoilers for all the series if anyone told you, though. Other than Air Clannad and Kanon doesnt has an sad ending Clannad After Story is somewhat more tear jerker than season one of this anime but in the end all goes well in this series..
And the dad begins to struggle and drinking and such, leaving others to take care of the daughter. There is a lot of death in the show.
But it is one of those, she dies, but she lives kind of world. Your email address will not be published. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. Skip to content. This anime series had great drama and inspiration. Really touching story.
Visuals by Kyoto Animation was phenomenal, and the music is simply incredible. All truly great masterpieces must have great music to accompany it, and this series certainly did. I personally hated the childish "Dango Big Family" song in the beginning, but the song really grew on me by the end of the series. This series really had the magic. This series is truly life-altering in that it makes you think what your life will be in 5, 10 years, and the value of family.
Highly recommended. This show is amazing. Both the dub and the sub versions of this anime are full of heartwarming emotions, hilarious comedy, and tear-jerking drama. Despite a few supernatural elements, this show accurately shows what it's like to be a working class young man in a large Japanese town, and what it's like to meet, befriend, love and ultimately lose the person you love.
Clannad and its sequel series After Story could easily be dismissed by casual anime fans or the uninitiated as a Moe or overly cute Harem series, with one male lead, and the rest of the female cast gushing over him.
And while they are technically correct, the way it's presented makes the show feel natural, and all the characters motivations and relationships with each other feel legitimate. If there were any gripes I had with the show, it would be the art style.
It is very pretty, especially the backgrounds, but when it comes to some of the female characters, especially Nagisa, Tomoyo, and Kotomi, the size of their eyes and pupils look and feel unnatural, beyond that of other Moe characters in other works. It's just a personal preference, but it's weird.
Also, when they attempt to do any English as in, in the original Japanese version it's very bad. It's forgivable, but one of the songs is written in English, and it makes no sense whatsoever. Fortunately, they keep that aspect to a minimum. Overall, this story is worth seeing, even if you're not a fan of anime in general. Perhaps this will change your mind. There's a lot of good stories in this medium, I don't want anyone to miss out.
What an experience, I have just started watching anime, You know that weird interest that people are into, the one where people would make fun of you and say it's weird or stupid. To those people I can say Watch this anime and look me in the face after that.
Because this is an amazing series and one genre that i am not into being a guy and all. The story is really well told and written, The characters are lovable with interesting amounts of depth and character development Like the main character who goes from hating his father and being a little childish to a full grown up who ends up respecting his father.
The relationships with every character feels real and the way they react to one and another makes it even more interesting to watch. The soundtrack is powerful as well and fits every scene rather nicely.
The animation is nice looking and the voice acting in the Japanese audio is great to. The comedy and drama is well done and it made me smile, cry, and gave me a whole range of emotions I had never had in any form of entertainment.
This is one of the many reasons why I would love to visit japan one day. Because even tho they have made some crappy stuff like every country The staff they do put out like this is even more beautiful then American content IMO Because I tend to have tighter connection to the characters. Overall this anime is emotional, funny, powerful, memorable, lovable, and will stay with you to the day you die.
NewOCFan 9 September I was actually nervous to watch After Story because of what I had heard. Even though you'd think the answer for the purpose of that girl and the robot was already explained, it appears it hasn't yet.
The story is even more amazing than the first season and after you've watched all of it, you don't feel like you've known these characters for two years two seasons but for ten. Up until the ending you have no idea what's going to happen at all to anyone. Here, I think you are watching life unfold. It doesn't feel like a half hour PSA trying to be a comedy it's more like watching these people grow and live their lives. There's happy moments and then there's sad moments.
And then there are tragic moments. Don't watch lightly, because this show will change you and make you realize what really matters in life. I can certainly say it changed me forever. Even if it has some supernatural elements, Clannad After Story is very much like real life.
This series is a continuation of Clannad which is a romance drama set in a high school like many other anime. Clannad on its own is a decent but not great anime and is comprised of certain arcs where the main character Tomoya helps each girl until we finally get to the meat of the story near the end which is his romance with Nagisa.
Clannad ends there and then we get the masterful continuation of the romance that is After Story which is unlike any other anime. After Story spans multiple years and we see our characters grow up and subtly change from their previous selves while still being the same person.
Its story is simplistic but extremely powerful. The later half of the show especially will make one bawl continuously for episodes. After Story offers a great mix of joy, sadness, nostalgia, depression and euphoria like life itself.
The soundtrack deserves a special mention to accomplish all this, since it is so moving. Its ending might be confusing, but paying more attention to detail or researching about it online will clear it up.
It is a necessary experience that could change ones perception of life. Every once in a while, you will watch an anime, movie, TV show or even read a story that kind of leaves you in a void. You start seeing things differently, you don't know what to do with yourself, and you begin to question how life works. Clannad, and Clannad Afterstory, is one of these animes. After watching Clannad I got into the sequel, and after watching it, I felt such a void because the story was so amazing so surreal, that it became one of my many favorite anime shows.
What makes Clannad different from every other romantic genre, is because of this season right here. When you watch some kind of romance entertainment you get this whole bit of these two love birds trying to get together, and then they finally get together in the end, and then the story ends. You never know what happens afterwards.
What makes Clannad so good, is because it doesn't just end where it did in the first season, where the two main characters get together. Instead, After Story takes us to that time in our life when graduation happens, life in high school ends, and adulthood starts.
It continues the story to tell us what happens to Tomoya and Naigisa probably spelling it wrong, but oh well. If you remember the first season, one of the many stories and sayings within it tell us of many different realities, and After Story kind of in a way explains the confusion that we were left in the end.
Not only that but more new problems surface, such as old friendships, dealing with work and living on your own, etc. While the original Clannad focused on the problems at school and the importance of family and friends, the After Story focuses on the same stuff, but like I said before in that period of adulthood we all just love. It also brings out one of the most powerful messages that I think personally is the best thing to ask yourself when dealing with school, work, adulthood, marriage, friendships and relationships whatever.
If what you dreamed of doesn't happen, and life takes you on this metaphorical trainwreck and continues to beat you senseless time and time again, and all of that was because of a single choice you made long ago: despite maybe having to go through it again knowing the pain and torment you will go through, would you still make that choice again? Will you do that one thing for one person, would you talk to this one, would you do anything differently to change the outcome, or would you do it all again because despite you know how it ends, you still love that person?
That being said, this is one of the best anime I have seen thus far, which is big because I don't like romance anime at all. If you're not a fan either don't worry, it's not your typical chick flick. This isn't a situation where sad situations come from people dying in battle or trying to protect the world against monsters or alien invaders. Clannad depicts an all-too-real condition with responses that are also grounded in reality.
This heavily contrasts tonally similar shows like Elfen Lied , where attempts to be sad are just as over the top, extreme and unnecessary as everything else in the series. This, combined with so much of what else Clannad had going for it, is what sets it apart among other sentimental anime, getting to the heart of its characters and themes in a way that tugs at the heart of the viewers like no other show. Those wanting to cry their eyes out are also in luck, as the show's easier than ever to watch.
In his spare time, he enjoys reading, playing video games, watching documentaries and catching up on the latest Vaporwave and Electro-Swing musical releases. By Timothy Donohoo Published Sep 26, Share Share Tweet Email 0. You need to rethink the article. But most of them are not even mentioned in this list. Memories was amazing, but Melodies sucked. Honestly, where the hell is "Your Lie in April". Best freaking anime ever, and damn near the only one that actually brought tears to my eyes.
To me, actually, Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso didn't reach all the way up to the high expecations I had. Your Name and A Silent Voice should be number one on this list. The story is better than most of the anime on here, the animation is simply amazing, the actual animator took the time to figure out how the people actually played an instrument, the anime and manga have won more awards than any of these, and one of the sole purposes of the anime was to make the editor cry.
Keep in mind this is just the anime the manga goes into so much more detail and is so much more heartbreaking than the anime because you get to know all the characters so much better. For the love of god watch Tokyo Aftershock 8. Clannad is on every list of the saddest anime ever. To me it should be on the top of "most boring anime ever".
Why do they not have Your Lie in April on this list? This is the most tragic and heart-wrenching anime there is! I love anime movies and episode and vines but the anime never tells you what happens after they get their happy ever after.
Granted I haven't seen all of these listed have seen KEY anime listed here , but nothing has ever made me cry as much as Your Lie in April. Nearly dehydrated myself! My favorite is anohana.. It make me cry like a little bitch.. And my next favorite was not in this list and ot is your lie in april T. And plastic memories T. Going along with this "sad" theme, if you like romantic as well, definitely try Orange.
I cried so many times. I cried a lot while watching this too especially Your lie in April which is undoubtedly one of the saddest anime series of all time and for that thanks to Mr.
Naoshi Arakawa for giving us this beautiful series But with swords instead of pianos lol. YLiA really really moved me. This one I saw as a kid so maybe my memory is off I have a few of the best anime in my mind. These anime made me cry I hardly ever cry and i felt so relieved.
I wish to see some more anime like these again. Elfen Lied is honestly my favorite anime of all time. It's one of those anime that deserves to be recognized for how real it is. I feel like it accurately depicts how humans would react to Diclonius, and that makes me kinda sad. It is such a strong and emotional anime that really makes you feel for each of the three main Diclonius, somehow even Mariko with episode It's extremely depressing and I love it. It's soooo underated and misunderstood because of what kind of content it has.
Honestly, the content was never really a turn-off to me just because of how depressingly REAL it is. That kind of stuff happens in the world, and it was kind of nice to see it represented even though how despicable it is. It shows you just how dark and uncaring the world can be, and it doesn't try to hide that fact.
I respect and love it for that, and it's a good eye-opener for people who think otherwise. It has a few flaws, but everything does, and it doesn't really take away from the impact for me.
The manga is especially sad, because it goes on for longer and has so many feelsy moments. I'm gonna spoil it, so don't read further if you want to check it out. The most emotional moment for me in the manga was the line "Nana is indispensable" from Kurama after he kills Barbara, a clone of his dead daughter Mariko.
And this is after he went through a psychological breakdown where he literally told Nana he thought of her as nothing more than an experiment. That ended about as well as could be expected from somebody like Nana. She almost tore the place to pieces she was so emotional. I cried like a little baby when I read that line, and I'm not ashamed to admit it. He was willing to let Nana die only a moment before, and it took Nana almost dying - and being okay with it as long as Barbara took care of Kurama for her - to make him snap out of it.
