Before I watched this anime, I hated my father and my family, I was ready to keep that hatred as a motivation to become more than they ever were. Watching this anime hit me like a sack of bricks. I remember crying so much when Tomoya hugged his father. Afterwards, I wasn't the same person again. I will be forever grateful to creators of this beautiful masterpiece.
If you didnt watch clannad, that would be real bad... our parents give us shelter and food... not for you guys to grow up and pay them back. They want you to have a good and an amazing life. I noticed that my Dad crys every night because of all the bad stuff He did but actually i did all the bad stuff like say mean stuff. Just here to tell you that never hate your parents. they just want you guys to live happily..
+7animeaddict With Angel Beats, I felt like a lot of the "sad moments" were forced on us. The only scene I did shed a tear to was the girl who was paralyzed and watched TV. Overall, I felt more emotionally numb and it made me sad. But with Clannad, however, I cried so hard especially in After Story!
+Mike Blue hold on, how cant u cry on iwasawa disapearence ?? just HOW , its impossible :( you have such a stony heart if u didnt cry on this scène :( i loved clannad too ( de feels bro) but the only one when i didnt cry , was ANOHANA , i dunno why but i feel it so funny after watching both Clannad and Angel beats xD
I’m a lot like Nagisa. I have a chronic illness that caused me to miss a ton of school. Though I ended up having to drop out because of it. I’m going to get my GED soon and every time I hear this song, I just imagine walking out of the building after receiving it and seeing all my old friends and teachers waiting there for me. I know it won’t happen, but imagining it always makes me tear up anyway. It’s been such a long and hard road. I want them all to know I made it, despite everything against me. I went to their graduation, and it was kind of hard seeing them all graduate when I didn’t. They all looked so happy. But I’m proud of them. I hope someday I can live up to that too, even if no one is around to see it. UPDATE 2 YEARS LATER: I did end up getting my GED!!! How it actually went down was much more emotional for me. I had a fever the day of the test, and after I finished, I went to the school bathroom and sobbed while I waited for my mom to pick me up. I was just so happy I was done, and so overwhelmed. I ended up getting one of the highest percentages in the country though so that’s pretty good. I never walked the floor, I just wanted to get my GED and be done with it. I’m doing a lot better health wise now! Still sick, but I can do more things in a day than I use to be able to. It’s nice to see how far I’ve come from then. Thank you everyone for your kind comments ❤️
well sorry for being heartless. well I did come close to crying though, it's just exceptionally rare for me to actually cry when watching anime unless I'm sleep deprived.
"this is a masterpiece , you gotta watch it" i know you read many comments like this in other anime but Clannad is something else , the first season will make you fall in love with this anime , the second one .... well you won't forget it ever
+R3vengeable I gotta say, I have a personal rule that whenever I start any show, I have to watch the first 3 episodes of it no matter how bad I hate it to start, and I have to admit, it's not that I hated it at first, but I wasn't really interested in the first few episodes, but then episode 3 ended in a way that made me go "well shit, now I gotta see what happens next" And the rest is history, and it is now one of my top 5 anime's of all time. The more impressive part is that I watched it for the first time a week ago.
"The more impressive part is that I watched it for the first time a week ago." well i watched the last episode of the second season yesterday , i wrote this comment knowing that clannad will be unforgettable
Back when this anime and music was newer, people used to post their favorite anime in the comments. It was amusing that many listed all these dark shows, and then clannad/after story also on that same list of theirs; it couldn't be any more different and I just always found that funny.
i watched all of Clannad and Clannad After Story in 2 days, cried for about 8 hours straight not gonna lie, but i became a better person from it, i am very grateful for life and getting the chance to see this
i'm still crying right now and i watched it years ago. not to mention the time after watching it. i was just done with everything as clannad was able to make me cry more than anything i've known and experienced.
Well the first season is more akin to a regular slice of life. It's job is to establish the setting, give the characters some growth, and give way to the second season. In the respect you can't really compare the two, even though they are technically related, you need to view the first as a high school SoL, and the second as a melodrama SoL.
the feeling that fuuko finally find one that will remember her, but in the end its till the same as ever, make me very sad, but then this song comes up, her effort had been repaid since Tomo and nagi remembered her. First feel boom indeed
That was actually the moment where I cried the most. Probably because I already knew of nagisa and ushio...-_- one does not simply avoid spoilers. And one does not simply watch clannad after story without crying
No1Uniq I've been wishing for that for a few weeks now, I've just reached that point where it feels like the thing to do. Especially after finishing Clannad
I showed this anime to my mom a few years ago. Ever since then she often gives me dangos as a present for christmas and I draw her pictures of Ushio and Nagisa. We watch the show once a year to never forget its message. I'll move away from home soon, but Clannad will forever be something that connects us in a way that no outsider would understand
+MelissaChan3 That is so beautiful... That is just so beautiful..... reading this with this song as the background really gets me in my feels... hahahah XD
I really hope so too bro, I bet she would be wanted you to stay positive and reach for better things because you may not know it but she's always there for you. 😏
This anime will always remain number 1 for me. Nothing will ever beat it because of what it's done for me personally. My outlook on life has changed completely. As if color has suddenly been added to my life. I have something to work hard towards. I have something to FIGHT for. And that something is to one day raise a family and reach a happiness like none other. If it weren't for this anime, I wouldn't even have realized the happiness that could be found in having a child. And of course, I am ready to face the hardships that come with it. I don't know how I will handle it all, but I do know that in this seemingly cruel life, there is something to reach for. I can't wait for the day I can hold the hand of my child and share tears of happiness with my significant other. Words seriously cannot describe the feeling that burns inside my heart. The best way to put it is that my heart is now that 'Shining in the Sky' Ushio Love
So so true. As weird as some people might tell me, this show really can change a person, it sure did change me. I was pretty down had had some major doubts when I watched it the first time, but at the end I find it easier to push forward and enjoy life a lot more. It's just filled with so much, and really has some great life lessons in it.
Asoranth That is exactly how I feel. It's been weeks since I watched After Story and this whole time I've been trying to describe and understand what it was that I felt. Something unknown had appeared in me and I didn't know how to express it, other than with the tears that make their way down my face when I listen to the music from Clannad. You managed to express it through words very well. Just like yours, my soul is burning, and I too now feel like I have something to fight for. For years I've been sad for the same reasons Tomoya was before he met Nagisa. The sadness of repetition in life. This is where the majority of my own sadness comes from- it's not because my life sucks or anything, it's because life can get so dull to the point where I feel like I can't stand it. However, now I have something to work hard towards. Now I have a real reason to live!
Asoranth It has been 2 or so years since the first time I watched this, and the feeling doesn't go away C: The music is a reminder that life will get better! Even the songs that sound sad, have a happy meaning : )
"Daddy, where are we? Are we on the train yet?" "Yeah, we're on the train already" "It's dark. Is it night?" "Mhm, It's midnight" "Daddy?" "Yeah, Ushio?" "I love you" "I love you too" .... "Ushio?" (This moment completely destroyed me) also, "Sanae-san told me, the place I can cry are in the bathroom and in daddy's arm" And the moment she cried, I think I'm ready to die
I don't remember crying at Ushio's death. Or at least not as much as some earlier scenes. Don't know why. Maybe the show had already killed me emotionally by that point. Or maybe the human body can only cry so much?
@Lotus Warrior its because nagisas dead isnt the main factor which makes the show or scene sad, the dramatic parts are the rest of the story developing around nagisas death.
+salty1234567890 And Tomoya's father. We've seen how he looks when Tomoya was a kid, and now he looks like he's aged a lot since the backstory in the reconciliation scene and the beginning of the series, unlike Akio and Sanae.
is it weird that clannad really made my mind up about wanting kids? never thought I would want them before clannad but after clannad afterstory I really want kids...
I though I was the only one, indeed I really didn't like the idea of getting married or having kids, but after watching Clannad I really wish for it. Also it helped me value more my family, I love my family!
Well, it helped me decide what I want to do in life. It also pushed me out of my long time depression by inspiring me to get off my ass and take the world by storm. So, no I don't find it weird :]
CarlosCW14 Well, I can't really speak for the "Family" Part, xD Me and my parent's really never got along, I tried getting along with my mom once. She treated me like garbage. I wish I had better parents. I agree with everything else though, I love clannad so much! =D
I personally find Clannad & Clannad After Story sad and heart breaking because it was one of the most relatable shows to day. The characters feel and act like people from my past and honestly I felt like I was with Tomoya throughout the entire show, all the sad and happy moments within his life. If you never seen Clannad before, I speak for all of us, watch it.
I rewatch Clannad every year on my birthday to help me remember how great the anime was and to remember someone who was very dear to me. I treasure this anime due to how it was the first anime that my older sister recommended to me. We never got along that well, but back then, I’ll go to her room sometimes and I’ll just talk to her about some small things. I’m turning 17 this year and she’s supposed to be 19. She recommended this anime to when I was 11 or 12; she never got the time finish it, nor did she have the time to achieve her goals in life in such a short time of 15 years. I’ll miss her, and now I’m in her place as an older sister to two of my younger sisters, I’ll recommend them to watch this anime when they’re old enough. I’m not asking for pity, nor am I asking for prayers and such, I just want people to cherish their times with the people they love and care for. I don’t have the power nor luck that Tomoya had to bring back Nagisa, so I can’t bring my sister back to spend time with her, but I’ll remember her through this anime each year. ^-^❤️
thing that you learn after watch this masterpiece anime 1. study harder 2. work harder for family 3. school memories are important 4. best friend memories 5. wanna be dad and spoil your daughter 6. wanna make a family 7. be grateful having a family that still alive and not abused i can't list all of it cuz my eyes wont let me see it clearly fking tear
Ushio: Is it over? Yumemi Hoshino: No, the story continues as long as someone, somewhere, loves that world. That miracle will retain its shape forever. Yeah, i love Key
These comments. THESE comments give me faith in humanity. People all coming together and loving something that really touched our hearts and souls. It's something truly outstanding. I can forget about the darkness of the world and remember the goodness which people on earth do have. If only this goodness could flow through the lands, seas and sky and unite the world. You might call me a dreamer... But I'm not the only one.
I feel exactly the same. Sometimes I lose faith in humanity when I hear about the war, terrorism, discrimination, bullying, greed, senseless violence... I get harassed by trolls in TH-cam comments who just want to argue and make others feel bad... But when I see something like this... It reminds me that humans are capable of so much more... That we can all come together, no matter where we're from, what religious or cultural backgrounds we have, or even different political beliefs... We're all capable of feeling... Of loving. We all have emotions, our hears and our souls connect us in ways that the physical differences could never divide us. If only people could hold onto these feelings and carry them in their hearts wherever they go... How could anyone ever harm another soul again if we all felt united as one?
@@ShizuruNakatsu I'm really glad that there's people out there who share my love of the world, and it's people. I'm not talking about hippy stuff here, I'm talking basic stuff that makes us human. Kindness, respect, understanding... And also things like culture, food, nature... These things connect us and give us the chance to tell stories. People aren't so bad, or most of us aren't. Sure, there's some messed up things in the world, and that's horrible, but a majority of us are normal (whatever that means). I for one love the world, okay? It's not hard to open your eyes and appreciate life, although, I do understand that it's not that simple for some people. We should all stop to think about little things in life, as well as learn the value of compassion and respect. Thanks for responding all this time later, I know people understand what I'm talking about, but many don't want to admit it, or choose to not notice. That's on them, more for us to enjoy!
This anime made me cry. For my entire life I shall hold this anime in my heart for good or for bad and for all the lessons it taught me. Like all you have to do to snap a girl out of a daze is to shoot juice up their nose
@@Inuyashapwns11 This song affects those who think that Clannad 1st season is sad especially when Tomoya and Nagisa forgot Fuko for me it was the saddest thing
+Matthew Ramos Well, there are a lot of other good anime out there that are worth your time and are going to change your life as much as or even more than Clannad did, so don't give up being an anime fan
+Matthew Ramos actually kinda feel the same. I'm still watching lots of anime, but I treasure Clannad as there will never be a show that'll change my life as much as this one :')
2 Monster Punches I watched that anime and I also loved it and the feeling you described. I just felt more with Clannad, I don't know why but it's not just a show to me, it's part of my life
My cat just died, I was taking care of him for 4 years. My mom and me kept having huge fights in the house because of major family problems, whenever I was in these insanely rough sessions in my life he always came and layed onto my desk and just slept there purring as loud as he could, then when I scratched his ears he just letted out a deep sounding "mrrreeeeow" then just turned onto his back... Whatever part you are in your life, memories will never fade and they will be always living there. Watching anime like clannad makes it easier trying to move on.
Such a beautiful anime...It really changes your perception of life. Tears start to form every time I listen to the soundtrack. I wish there were more anime and video games like Clannad.
there are even more anime which depreses you for the rest of your life like air and for me h20 footprints in the sand and ef a tale of memories/ melodys also tayutama and little busters have fun watching these. they are not that bad as clannad but they are intense
HEROANDT I have heard that Little Busters is not worth watching the anime adaptation, so instead of watching it i am going to play its visual novel! Also Jun Maeda (the creator of clannad,angel beats,little busters,air,kanon) claims LB to be his best work! So i guess it's worth playing the visual novel first instead of watching the anime!
Herr Sorrow you're right the anime itself isn't that great but it is good, really good. a bit wierd at the beginning but at the end you see the story is amazing though the anime is not as good as the novel. maybe i like it cuz i'm more like a animation person and like moving pictures or something like that i don't know xD. i just say the anime is worth watching
I would say that Clannad after story has zero rewatchable ability and you'd ask me why? Because the first time anyone really sits down to watch after story, going through all the painful moments with Tomoya Ushio and Nagisa along with a soundtrack created so masterfully that words can't describe it you feel as if your being torn apart only to be reconnected at the very end. After story is an experience which hits you in the moment and doesn't require a second viewing or even a serious breakdown of events as has become the norm these days and i can only say thankyou to the creators for allowing me to enjoy the experience
Slice of life.... I am growing older, wiser, more experienced, Clannad is still a good memory of entertainment I had a few years ago, as it depicts several topics of young adulthood and beyond. 😊
I think Clannad is a stepping stone to the 'Slice of Life' genre for a lot of people because of it. Most people get into anime through the more renowned 'Action' animes like Bleach, Naruto, DBZ etc... Due to that, a lot of anime watchers will overlook the 'Slice of Life' genre because it appears boring in comparison. But then when you see a tile pop up as much as Clannad does, it's mentioned on every forum, page and/or wall that has anything to do with anime, you can't help but wonder why it's brought up so much... Then you watch it and start to question the sanity of the humans that willingly watch this knowing full well what it entails. Watching Clannad was kind of a life changing experience for me, at least in the sense that it really put's things into (somewhat of a) perspective for me. To expand on what you said Kevin, the older and wiser you get, the more you find yourself appreciating all the things that you ran straight past as a kid. You find yourself holding on to the oldest things because you're afraid to let go of who you were to make room for who you can and will be. It's an inevitable inner conflict that's just part of growing up. Clannad taught me that it's okay to let go because it doesn't always mean it's gone, it just means it's become part of you in a different way. A memory. An experience. A lesson. An opportunity... A new chapter. *applause* Thank you all for coming! You've been a great audience. Tune in next week when I talk about how watching Naruto made me steal my best friend's eye-ball!
I personally have found that as I've gotten older, I've preferred the 'Slice of Life' animes as opposed to the 'Action' animes that I watched as a kid (Naruto, Inuyasha, etc). I'm not sure when the switch happened for me, but I can say that Clannad also had that kind of impact on me as it was the first real 'Slice of Life' I watched all the way through. Clannad and Your Lie in April have had such an impact on my life that I find it difficult to watch them again because of how much they've affected me personally and emotionally, which is kind of sad because I would love to watch them again, but I started the first episode and legit cried in the first 10 minutes. I hope that everyone had a similar feeling coming off this show...
This anime was honestly the most beautiful anime i have ever seen it makes me happy, upset, sad all in the same time which i find very interesting. The beauty and reality in this anime makes me want to live in the anime I don't know how to describe the feelings i felt through my journey through this show. It's been 5 years and I still think about this show every day. AHHHH IM CRYING AGAIN TFFFF
The story of tomoya and his father was one of the most emotional parts for me, especially when his dad realised he could go and had done enough. My relationship with my father can be rocky and on and off, but he reminds me of tomoyas dad where he tried with gifts and stuff where he could. My dad did that with lollies/candy too. Plus he looks like my dad so much too. I cried when his grandma made tomoya realise his dad loves him.
I listened this song on spotify like 2 weeks ago, and now it played again from my recommendations, i couldn't figure why i was on the verge of tears. Today i just google it, just for remember why i feel so sad about it. Then i remembered this anime, i was a teenager when i watched this and i loved the story. About that time i really "clicked" with Tomoya, because i had a bad relationship with my dad and i wished for some kind of connection or meeting that would change my life or my view of life. Like 8 years have pass and that relationship had rotten, but i'm happy with it. I learned to let go and appreciate my friends and my brother, so even if i can't repair that. That broken relationship gave me the chance to open to my friends and to just talk with my brother, who was in the "same place" as me.
***** lol, dango daikazoku is not a happy song... :P it has a coat of happy tunes but it can strike you pretty hard some people cry when they hear that song
This Anime helped me see the world in a new perspective. I have the desire to make friends and help friends in need and I sometimes wish I went to school in Japan in my teenage years.
Bro, You'll be a "outsider" if you just come from anywhere to the school of any country as the real world ain't like that but i wish it was so good luck wishing that, so try to help the friends you make yourself throughout your life!! Awesome anime BTW but someone was cutting onions behind me while i watched ep 21......
This unparalleled masterpiece of a show is life changing... This is and will always be my 1st favorite no matter how much time goes by.. that will never change... God I miss clannad so much.. :,( 12/9/2023 edit: been over 3 years since i last watched Clannad after story, and let me tell you this: my mind hasn't changed one bit. It still is life changing, and has changed my life so so much it's insane.
So amazing. I first heard all the amazing Clannad soundtracks like these from KyoAni, Clannad was first anime from their studio I ever watched and honestly my favorite. Thank you KyoAni and Key for doing such a beautiful job at touching the hearts of millions around the world
Spoilers That moment when nagisa passed away... it didnt register for me. Its like one of those moments where you refuse to accept the weight of the matter, the reality. It was after seeing tomoya breaking down that it hits me: shes gone. The character who we love and supports. Shes gone. And then cones the tear jerking episodes that were 18 and 19 (if im not mistakened) that really hit the sore spot. I dont typically cry to much, but this- this made me bawl. It was painful. It was raw emotions. I dont think i could ever find an anime as tear jerking as this. Thank you, kyoani.
For me Ushio calling Tomoya Daddy for the first time and their death in the snow tore me apart. I'm also not a very emotional person I barely tear up from watching your name or silent voice but Clannad got me for good. TBH it's way intense than Anohana and GOTFF imo.
I finished this about a month ago and it hurt BAD. Fuko's story pulled a few tears out of me, but Nagisa's passing was... devastating to say the least. I kinda put myself in Tomoya's shoes at that moment, all the memories coming back at once. I cried harder than when I watched YLIA, but Clannad kept it going with even more heart punches. Almost any time they brought up Nagisa in memory, I felt Tomoya's pain. That train scene where he finally allowed himself to remember... allowed himself to say her name once more... I didn't know I could shed that many tears in a span of a day or two 😂. Even the scene with the father, just UGH. Sad to think I was once iffy on watching it, but when I heard Kyoto made it, I had to see. If not for my respect they earned with Violet Evergarden, then because of beauty of animation and storytelling that they never slack on. I
It's been almost 2 and a half years since clannad changed me. I'm blessed. Had I not watched this anime, i wouldn't have a goal in life although my past self's mistakes still scar me, I won't give up. Thank you clannad. Thank you jun maeda.
Clannad is an absolute masterpiece~ The most emotional scene is when Tomoya speaks about Nagisa with Ushio, isn't it? "And then" "Nagisa was..." "NAGISAAA!" - Tomoya: cries - Ushio: cries with him
When Nagisa Die i was lonely... I cry that sad never before but i recover when Ushio Show... when they are on the Train i Realize and end up Crying After Tomoya said "Ushio you want to know about mommy?" After that Tomoya Cried.. I dont know what to do but Cry Because of the memory they have.. i realize that Tomoya show me a Great Lesson i will never Forget i Agree this is The No.1 Anime No one Can beat it Because it shows the Slice Of Life of the Shining in The Sky :)
Maeda wrote this prolly after understanding life's meaning. And trully philosopher. I once noticed an anime that mention a book name psychology piano or music that refer to himself. That's why his every soundtrack had deep feeling innit.
Growing up my father was pretty much emotionally unavailable and not fully present resulting in a lot of emotional baggage on me. It’s a burden that’s become part of my life in spite of that I still loved him. His mistakes as a parent took a toll on me yet I still loved and appreciated him for his efforts. I’m now 24 and with a child, he passed away earlier this year. I’m at the point that I don’t know how to deal with all the hurt he caused and hearing this song just reminds me of how much I once yearned for a happy family. He is missed greatly
Clannad got me to connect with my emotional side more than i wouldve on my own and also destroyed the image of women for me forever. Good luck finding an irl nagisa. Those are diamonds.
Clannad is a life changing Anime Story that you will never find on anime nowadays. I really feel sad after watching clannad even though I know its a happy Ending T^T
this anime changed a lot of people without a joke, lot of people started appreciating family, friends and life whenever i open any video of clannad soundtrack on YT i see lots of people's comment like how they changed, well we dont know if they really changed or not but atleast they have courage to say that they are atleast changed
It made me think over life : We start as a kid , We go to school , With the changing time we think we need to change the things they are , We grow , We go to collage , We get married , We start our new life and when our children goes far from us our life's stuck and when we are nearby to death, at that time we look back and think what have been left behind by us . At first we hate it but deep down we know that what happend to the things and the place all have been done by us , then we realise that our life was just as bad as this change was for someone else. If only i had one more chance i would have loved to became a student again and enjoy all the happiness by friendship and love again. Being a children was the best part of my life , i m going to miss this too much. 😭😭😭
Clannad ruined me. I was a unemotional man who didn't get choked up often. Not anymore guys. This damn show broke me. Shattered my heart and put it back together.
I'm going to confess something. I never cried with anime, but Clannad was the closest of them. I remember almost cring when someone was dying (you know who I'm talking about) but then some chapters after, in the train scene my chest hurt so much and I had a a lump in the throat, the feeling didn't dissapeared in 2 days, it stopped hurting in like 10 mins but the feeling was still there. In simple words, I love Clannad.
I just watched Clannad like a month ago just because I'm bored, nothing to do, and suddenly thinking 'many people said Clannad is good. Maybe I should watch it now'. Somehow I'm grateful that I can avoid spoilers until this time, so yeah, I have full entertainment (and moral lessons) out of this. Now I'm crazily spamming my timeline about Clannad to hook as many people as possible to watch Clannad. It's just so good, easily my top favorite anime ever.
this song is so perfect, clannad has had me hold back my tears when i first watched it, i couldnt hold back anymore the time fuuko's sister got married, and when tomoya and nagisa remembered her, i know there are plenty of anime shows out there that are just as heartwarming, but i dont think any of them can top clannad
Clannad... The only one anime that makes me cry so much bad, Clannad is the anime that would be never forgotten in my mind forever and ever... the song and the story is so much great. Thank you who ever create this amazing anime♥️♥️
I wish that Clannad remains as a timeless classic. It truly set itself as the gateway to visual novels for me. It...was an amazing experience. It was one of those times on which you look back and say "wow that really changed me."
This song was made the background music for the Malaysia Airlines incident timeline posted on Facebook. It was very touching for me and I thank you to the creator of the timeline. #prayforMH370
Because the Illusionary World is a fusion of parts of the real world that got impressed in Ushio's memory during her short life. She created that world...
Clannad and Anohana I think are the only pieces of fiction to ever make me cry. Both are probably some of the most beautiful pieces of fiction that will ever exist. Nothing has ever painted such beautiful pictures of life.
Ben Corbett It's a different kind of emotion than Clannad. Many people have been disappointed. I watched it before Clannad and it was the first anime to make me legit cry. Like, other shows got me to tear up, but the feeling was circumstantial and faded pretty quickly. Angel Beats was the first for me that really stirred something on the inside. It made me cry both times I watched it, and the second time was only later that week. Dubbed and Subbed (which one is right for you is a different discussion altogether). I still highly recommend Angel Beats, but don't be expecting the same flavor of emotion as Clannad, because you'll be disappointed by the difference.
HalcyonSerenade i honestly dont mean this in an insulting way, but what exactly was so sad about angel beats? clannad was extremely emotional for me, but I honestly didn't like angel beats that much. I thought the ending was pretty sad, but that was about it...nothing compared to clannad for me
Why am i happy yet sad at the same time? This mix feeling is pleasing yet there's a hole missing that i can't find. A phenomenon that can't be explained from watching this piece of art. My love for this anime is boundless that reaches beyond stars, galaxies, universe, places that the human mind cannot even comprehend. The hole in my heart is still missing 10 years later. May this anime be in our hearts forever. To whoever's reading this, may you live a happy and fulfilling life. BTW going to rewatch this anime. Praise the lord i don't cry up a storm.
This was probably the most emotionally draining anime I've ever watched. It probably took me a week to recover after Afterstory. While I don't think it's my favorite, it's definitely unforgettable. Just hearing this song and reading people's comments here made me tear up.
Thank you Clannad for making me understand the meaning of my life, I once thought about killing myself, but when I watched Clannad I understood that I was not alone and Im trying to make myself better.
I'm very happy for you, reading the comments on this video I realize how beautiful this world is, and remember, you will never be alone, but always accompanied by a big dango family.🍡🍡🍡
Before I watched this anime, I hated my father and my family, I was ready to keep that hatred as a motivation to become more than they ever were. Watching this anime hit me like a sack of bricks. I remember crying so much when Tomoya hugged his father. Afterwards, I wasn't the same person again. I will be forever grateful to creators of this beautiful masterpiece.
Glad to read that ^^
You're same as me fam
If you didnt watch clannad, that would be real bad... our parents give us shelter and food... not for you guys to grow up and pay them back. They want you to have a good and an amazing life. I noticed that my Dad crys every night because of all the bad stuff He did but actually i did all the bad stuff like say mean stuff. Just here to tell you that never hate your parents. they just want you guys to live happily..
@@phase7250 bro let me be honest... Thank you so much for reminding me this ♥️
@@Milidious No problem
Angels Beats: Makes you cry
Clannad: Destroys you internally and you weep like a 5 y/o
Daniel Vermeulen Angel Beats didn't do it for me
clannad made me cry like a baby, but Angel beats didn't. I don't know why
7animeaddict I'm not dissing on any level though
+7animeaddict With Angel Beats, I felt like a lot of the "sad moments" were forced on us. The only scene I did shed a tear to was the girl who was paralyzed and watched TV. Overall, I felt more emotionally numb and it made me sad. But with Clannad, however, I cried so hard especially in After Story!
+Mike Blue hold on, how cant u cry on iwasawa disapearence ?? just HOW , its impossible :( you have such a stony heart if u didnt cry on this scène :( i loved clannad too ( de feels bro) but the only one when i didnt cry , was ANOHANA , i dunno why but i feel it so funny after watching both Clannad and Angel beats xD
Ushio and Tomoya got on the country train.
But they put me on the pain train.
*feels train*
Juvia Lockser *Choo Choo*
Chugga chugga
AznHoboOVER9000 ah
It's a rail pain!! 😂😂 so unfitting!!
I’m a lot like Nagisa. I have a chronic illness that caused me to miss a ton of school. Though I ended up having to drop out because of it. I’m going to get my GED soon and every time I hear this song, I just imagine walking out of the building after receiving it and seeing all my old friends and teachers waiting there for me. I know it won’t happen, but imagining it always makes me tear up anyway. It’s been such a long and hard road. I want them all to know I made it, despite everything against me. I went to their graduation, and it was kind of hard seeing them all graduate when I didn’t. They all looked so happy. But I’m proud of them. I hope someday I can live up to that too, even if no one is around to see it.
UPDATE 2 YEARS LATER: I did end up getting my GED!!! How it actually went down was much more emotional for me. I had a fever the day of the test, and after I finished, I went to the school bathroom and sobbed while I waited for my mom to pick me up. I was just so happy I was done, and so overwhelmed. I ended up getting one of the highest percentages in the country though so that’s pretty good. I never walked the floor, I just wanted to get my GED and be done with it. I’m doing a lot better health wise now! Still sick, but I can do more things in a day than I use to be able to. It’s nice to see how far I’ve come from then. Thank you everyone for your kind comments ❤️
"Don't" You are making me 😭
i believe in you! if you hadn't done it by now i'm sure you will some day!
it would be great to get an update here (:
keep your head high!
I know your comment was 2 years ago, but I hope you are okay :) Keep Dango spirit in your heart!
I hope you live a good life with no regrets :)
I know it's 2 years late
But
Good luck!❤️
Hope u will live a happy and healthy life
😊♥️♥️
Thank you Kyoto Animation; for Clannad; for everything.
R.i.p kyoto 😭😭😭😭
yes :(
Thank you Kyoani!
They are recovering
Pretty sure they're back in business now.
A person who watched clannad without crying like a baby doesn't have a heart...
or the are just so shoked that they cant cry and suffer greater pain
I was sad but I couldn’t cry
well sorry for being heartless. well I did come close to crying though, it's just exceptionally rare for me to actually cry when watching anime unless I'm sleep deprived.
@@poudink5791 same.
Tho i was in fucking shock when nagisa died. Did NOT see that comimg.
I have faulty tear ducts, so I just made a constipated face and murmured weird noises to convey my sadness.
"this is a masterpiece , you gotta watch it" i know you read many comments like this in other anime but Clannad is something else , the first season will make you fall in love with this anime , the second one .... well you won't forget it ever
+R3vengeable I gotta say, I have a personal rule that whenever I start any show, I have to watch the first 3 episodes of it no matter how bad I hate it to start, and I have to admit, it's not that I hated it at first, but I wasn't really interested in the first few episodes, but then episode 3 ended in a way that made me go "well shit, now I gotta see what happens next" And the rest is history, and it is now one of my top 5 anime's of all time. The more impressive part is that I watched it for the first time a week ago.
"The more impressive part is that I watched it for the first time a week ago." well i watched the last episode of the second season yesterday , i wrote this comment knowing that clannad will be unforgettable
Just telling you guys that I've watched this 7 years ago and it still hurts thinking about this anime.
@@nope39267 years in the future here and I just wanted to say it's still a breathtaking story. I even like it in dub, the show is so good.
Back when this anime and music was newer, people used to post their favorite anime in the comments. It was amusing that many listed all these dark shows, and then clannad/after story also on that same list of theirs; it couldn't be any more different and I just always found that funny.
i watched all of Clannad and Clannad After Story in 2 days, cried for about 8 hours straight not gonna lie, but i became a better person from it, i am very grateful for life and getting the chance to see this
I don't think I bawled more during an anime than this one.
i'm still crying right now and i watched it years ago.
not to mention the time after watching it. i was just done with everything as clannad was able to make me cry more than anything i've known and experienced.
Man you should have gone slowly
Exact same with me!!!!!!!💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓
2 days ..and about 8 hours!!!!!🥶💓
A 2 day anime literally made me change how I see the world permanently lol
When the chorus suddenly burst out when tomoya and nagisa remembered fuko, aka the first 'feels bomb' of clannad, i knew clannad was something special
FarCritical Meh I thought the first season of Clannad was boring. Funny as hell sometimes, but boring. After Story made me cry like a bitch though
FarCritical episode 9 crushed me when Fuko spoke to Kouko
FarCritical I noticed that as perhaps its first defining moment too
Well the first season is more akin to a regular slice of life. It's job is to establish the setting, give the characters some growth, and give way to the second season. In the respect you can't really compare the two, even though they are technically related, you need to view the first as a high school SoL, and the second as a melodrama SoL.
the feeling that fuuko finally find one that will remember her, but in the end its till the same as ever, make me very sad, but then this song comes up, her effort had been repaid since Tomo and nagi remembered her. First feel boom indeed
Yesterday is history
tomorrow is a mystery
and today is a gift
that is why we call it the present
- Oogway
😢
This is the best quote ever,
If one understand the depth of it.
The best is that here in brazil gift is called "presente" so that make the phrase even more emotional
Grandma told me, I could only cry at two places. The one is the bathroom and the other one is in my fathers arms.
Y DO U DO DIS TO MEH
OHH THE TEARSS
+ANIME FREAAK DA TEARS ;-;
That was actually the moment where I cried the most. Probably because I already knew of nagisa and ushio...-_- one does not simply avoid spoilers. And one does not simply watch clannad after story without crying
+Teron WOW I read this with the music in the back and bring tears to my eyes. good job
+Teron y u do dis
This song especially hurts in light of recent events. Thank you, KyoAni and Key for bringing so much wonder to my life
Yep :(((
Sometimes I wish I can just lay down in some empty field, listen to peaceful playlist and look at the sky. FOREVER.
No1Uniq I've been wishing for that for a few weeks now, I've just reached that point where it feels like the thing to do. Especially after finishing Clannad
No1Uniq that is ware I go wen I am at pease I go there in my mind it is a good place
Wow that's a whole different level of laziness.
Oh shut up and enjoy the song
why do i get a dear evan hansen vibe from this comment?
I showed this anime to my mom a few years ago. Ever since then she often gives me dangos as a present for christmas and I draw her pictures of Ushio and Nagisa. We watch the show once a year to never forget its message. I'll move away from home soon, but Clannad will forever be something that connects us in a way that no outsider would understand
+MelissaChan3
That is so beautiful... That is just so beautiful..... reading this with this song as the background really gets me in my feels... hahahah XD
+chadurdeD same here x)
That's really nice
tha's just beautiful .. wish u the best of luck my friend :)
me too xD
I saw this anime with my ex-girlfriend 4 years ago, 2 years ago she is no longer here... i hope she is... Shining in the sky :)
I Cry so hard now 😭
OMGGG :(
I hope too bro 👍🏻😔
I really hope so too bro, I bet she would be wanted you to stay positive and reach for better things because you may not know it but she's always there for you. 😏
Oh shit...
This anime will always remain number 1 for me. Nothing will ever beat it because of what it's done for me personally. My outlook on life has changed completely. As if color has suddenly been added to my life. I have something to work hard towards. I have something to FIGHT for. And that something is to one day raise a family and reach a happiness like none other. If it weren't for this anime, I wouldn't even have realized the happiness that could be found in having a child. And of course, I am ready to face the hardships that come with it. I don't know how I will handle it all, but I do know that in this seemingly cruel life, there is something to reach for.
I can't wait for the day I can hold the hand of my child and share tears of happiness with my significant other. Words seriously cannot describe the feeling that burns inside my heart. The best way to put it is that my heart is now that 'Shining in the Sky'
Ushio Love
Beautiful words :) I kinda feel the same way
So so true. As weird as some people might tell me, this show really can change a person, it sure did change me. I was pretty down had had some major doubts when I watched it the first time, but at the end I find it easier to push forward and enjoy life a lot more. It's just filled with so much, and really has some great life lessons in it.
Asoranth That is exactly how I feel. It's been weeks since I watched After Story and this whole time I've been trying to describe and understand what it was that I felt. Something unknown had appeared in me and I didn't know how to express it, other than with the tears that make their way down my face when I listen to the music from Clannad. You managed to express it through words very well. Just like yours, my soul is burning, and I too now feel like I have something to fight for.
For years I've been sad for the same reasons Tomoya was before he met Nagisa. The sadness of repetition in life. This is where the majority of my own sadness comes from- it's not because my life sucks or anything, it's because life can get so dull to the point where I feel like I can't stand it. However, now I have something to work hard towards. Now I have a real reason to live!
Asoranth Omg you gave me feels ;_;
Asoranth It has been 2 or so years since the first time I watched this, and the feeling doesn't go away C: The music is a reminder that life will get better! Even the songs that sound sad, have a happy meaning : )
"Daddy, where are we? Are we on the train yet?"
"Yeah, we're on the train already"
"It's dark. Is it night?"
"Mhm, It's midnight"
"Daddy?"
"Yeah, Ushio?"
"I love you"
"I love you too"
....
"Ushio?"
(This moment completely destroyed me)
also,
"Sanae-san told me, the place I can cry are in the bathroom and in daddy's arm"
And the moment she cried, I think I'm ready to die
Nagisa death punched me harder...maybe because i knew "Girl with the Matches"
I don't remember crying at Ushio's death. Or at least not as much as some earlier scenes. Don't know why. Maybe the show had already killed me emotionally by that point. Or maybe the human body can only cry so much?
i cried at that scene more than ever
@Lotus Warrior its because nagisas dead isnt the main factor which makes the show or scene sad, the dramatic parts are the rest of the story developing around nagisas death.
@Lotus Warrior oh wait u said ushios death not nagisas dead i m blind nvm xD
Best anime ever.
after story is so fucking good .. but not best anime material
NO
Yes, I agree with you, Bes anime ever! :D
Julie Marin *Best sorry
Yes.
Thanks kyoto animation
You'll always live in our hearts
Its funny how Akio and Sanae are grandparents but they look fucking 20.
Thats what i thought!
+Zeromus everyone looks 20 in anime
+salty1234567890 except Tomoyas grandmother
+Hainesy 4Head yep she's an exception haha
+salty1234567890 And Tomoya's father. We've seen how he looks when Tomoya was a kid, and now he looks like he's aged a lot since the backstory in the reconciliation scene and the beginning of the series, unlike Akio and Sanae.
is it weird that clannad really made my mind up about wanting kids? never thought I would want them before clannad but after clannad afterstory I really want kids...
I though I was the only one, indeed I really didn't like the idea of getting married or having kids, but after watching Clannad I really wish for it. Also it helped me value more my family, I love my family!
well I'm only 17 but still. The idea doesn't seem so bad anymore.
Well, it helped me decide what I want to do in life. It also pushed me out of my long time depression by inspiring me to get off my ass and take the world by storm. So, no I don't find it weird :]
same here
CarlosCW14 Well, I can't really speak for the "Family" Part, xD
Me and my parent's really never got along, I tried getting along with my mom once. She treated me like garbage. I wish I had better parents. I agree with everything else though, I love clannad so much! =D
OMFG, HOW CAN BE A ANIME SO PERFECT! soundtrack, romance, drama, comedy; all are perfect!
if there was only a genre called "sad" this would probably be #1 on the list
What about Tragedy? :3
my tears are perfect too
Welcome to the NHK was a perfect one too
That's kyoani for you
I personally find Clannad & Clannad After Story sad and heart breaking because it was one of the most relatable shows to day. The characters feel and act like people from my past and honestly I felt like I was with Tomoya throughout the entire show, all the sad and happy moments within his life. If you never seen Clannad before, I speak for all of us, watch it.
0% naked anime girls
0% Tsunderes
0% Craziness
100% Tears
200% because you have 2 eyes and each of them dies because of the tears
100% going to the bathroom because it is one of the two places where you're allowed to cry ; _ ;
No tsundere? What is Kyou then???
That’s so true
confirm
I’m so glad I watched Clannad. It was an unforgettable experience and will forever be my #1. Seriously, thank you Clannad.
Same. A timeless masterpiece...
Ya its #1 for me too
But most of them drop in s1 i liked this show every ost is so good
I rewatch Clannad every year on my birthday to help me remember how great the anime was and to remember someone who was very dear to me. I treasure this anime due to how it was the first anime that my older sister recommended to me. We never got along that well, but back then, I’ll go to her room sometimes and I’ll just talk to her about some small things. I’m turning 17 this year and she’s supposed to be 19. She recommended this anime to when I was 11 or 12; she never got the time finish it, nor did she have the time to achieve her goals in life in such a short time of 15 years. I’ll miss her, and now I’m in her place as an older sister to two of my younger sisters, I’ll recommend them to watch this anime when they’re old enough. I’m not asking for pity, nor am I asking for prayers and such, I just want people to cherish their times with the people they love and care for. I don’t have the power nor luck that Tomoya had to bring back Nagisa, so I can’t bring my sister back to spend time with her, but I’ll remember her through this anime each year. ^-^❤️
Rip, so glad a beautiful anime can bring you together with you sister spiritually. It really is an amazing show.
😫😫
Umm
Try hard
Be well❤️❤️
💕💕
But you do have that power... You just did, by remembering your sister. You bring her back Everytime you think of her.
lol I was looking for sad songs to download and I was like "no, not this, I haven't recovered yet"
XD
Well i'm still in therapy due to this so....
Same
I watched this show about a year and a half ago and merely listening to this song got my tears flowing from a laughing mood yikes
This Ost one of the most legendary osts in the anime history.
"Clannad has changed my perspective of life."
Sounds cliche, but it was true.
Because it was the first toy that daddy chose and bought for me...
+Sean Kim God that scene....
There's only two places where I can cry. T.T
Sean Kim
the bathrom and your daddy lap?:P
Step 1: Lie down
Step 2: Try not to cry
Step 3: Cry a lot
That line made my heart skip a beat and i was crying a whole hour
This anime was a roller coaster of feels, but in the end, I was satisfied 100%
:p
+Seductive Love agreed ^^
+Seductive Love Totally agree!
I agree!! i did not care that i did not understand the ending, but i was satisfied to see them live happily together!
The show couldnt have had a better ending
yep ;P
thing that you learn after watch this masterpiece anime
1. study harder
2. work harder for family
3. school memories are important
4. best friend memories
5. wanna be dad and spoil your daughter
6. wanna make a family
7. be grateful having a family that still alive and not abused
i can't list all of it cuz my eyes wont let me see it clearly fking tear
U all must be hurt so much
Ushio: Is it over?
Yumemi Hoshino: No, the story continues as long as someone, somewhere, loves that world. That miracle will retain its shape forever.
Yeah, i love Key
You came here after that too huh
I also wanted to listen to this after kaginao ended
These comments. THESE comments give me faith in humanity. People all coming together and loving something that really touched our hearts and souls. It's something truly outstanding. I can forget about the darkness of the world and remember the goodness which people on earth do have. If only this goodness could flow through the lands, seas and sky and unite the world.
You might call me a dreamer...
But I'm not the only one.
I feel exactly the same. Sometimes I lose faith in humanity when I hear about the war, terrorism, discrimination, bullying, greed, senseless violence... I get harassed by trolls in TH-cam comments who just want to argue and make others feel bad...
But when I see something like this... It reminds me that humans are capable of so much more... That we can all come together, no matter where we're from, what religious or cultural backgrounds we have, or even different political beliefs... We're all capable of feeling... Of loving.
We all have emotions, our hears and our souls connect us in ways that the physical differences could never divide us.
If only people could hold onto these feelings and carry them in their hearts wherever they go... How could anyone ever harm another soul again if we all felt united as one?
@@ShizuruNakatsu I'm really glad that there's people out there who share my love of the world, and it's people.
I'm not talking about hippy stuff here, I'm talking basic stuff that makes us human.
Kindness, respect, understanding... And also things like culture, food, nature... These things connect us and give us the chance to tell stories.
People aren't so bad, or most of us aren't. Sure, there's some messed up things in the world, and that's horrible, but a majority of us are normal (whatever that means).
I for one love the world, okay? It's not hard to open your eyes and appreciate life, although, I do understand that it's not that simple for some people.
We should all stop to think about little things in life, as well as learn the value of compassion and respect.
Thanks for responding all this time later, I know people understand what I'm talking about, but many don't want to admit it, or choose to not notice.
That's on them, more for us to enjoy!
This has has to be one of the best emotional anime series’s even to this day
It is man, it is...
"NAGISAAAA!" - Tomoya Okazaki
R.I.P Nagisa
This anime made me cry. For my entire life I shall hold this anime in my heart for good or for bad and for all the lessons it taught me. Like all you have to do to snap a girl out of a daze is to shoot juice up their nose
Electric Flamez This is the best comment I've ever seen for any Clannad music. Well done good sir.
First anime that made me cry for minutes. It didn't change me life, but will stay in my heart forever.
3 seconds, and i cant listen to this anymore... the pain does not fade
I haven't watched Clannad in almost a year and it hit me like a truck filled with a ton of bricks c;
@@Inuyashapwns11 This song affects those who think that Clannad 1st season is sad especially when Tomoya and Nagisa forgot Fuko for me it was the saddest thing
Never watching Another Anime because Clannad completes me for life:)
hahahah me too, i just repeat the whole episode
+Matthew Ramos Well, there are a lot of other good anime out there that are worth your time and are going to change your life as much as or even more than Clannad did, so don't give up being an anime fan
+Matthew Ramos actually kinda feel the same. I'm still watching lots of anime, but I treasure Clannad as there will never be a show that'll change my life as much as this one :')
2 Monster Punches I watched that anime and I also loved it and the feeling you described. I just felt more with Clannad, I don't know why but it's not just a show to me, it's part of my life
That's what I thought to but now I am watching naruto
My cat just died, I was taking care of him for 4 years. My mom and me kept having huge fights in the house because of major family problems,
whenever I was in these insanely rough sessions in my life he always came and layed onto my desk and just slept there purring as loud as he could, then when I scratched his ears he just letted out a deep sounding "mrrreeeeow" then just turned onto his back...
Whatever part you are in your life, memories will never fade and they will be always living there. Watching anime like clannad makes it easier trying to move on.
시간이 지나도 잊혀지지 않을 작품
Such a beautiful anime...It really changes your perception of life. Tears start to form every time I listen to the soundtrack. I wish there were more anime and video games like Clannad.
Anohana depresed me : Lifetime
Angel Beats depresed me : Lifetime
Clannad depresed me : Lifetime
there are even more anime which depreses you for the rest of your life like air and for me h20 footprints in the sand and ef a tale of memories/ melodys also tayutama and little busters
have fun watching these. they are not that bad as clannad but they are intense
HEROANDT air kinda sucks because on how it ends in a loop
Cencer Lancer that is so true
HEROANDT I have heard that Little Busters is not worth watching the anime adaptation, so instead of watching it i am going to play its visual novel! Also Jun Maeda (the creator of clannad,angel beats,little busters,air,kanon) claims LB to be his best work! So i guess it's worth playing the visual novel first instead of watching the anime!
Herr Sorrow
you're right the anime itself isn't that great but it is good, really good. a bit wierd at the beginning but at the end you see the story is amazing though the anime is not as good as the novel. maybe i like it cuz i'm more like a animation person and like moving pictures or something like that i don't know xD. i just say the anime is worth watching
The picture, this scene from episode 18 really touching.
As a young adult, I approve of Clannad is the MOST beautiful anime.
Wars and conflicts cease to exist after experiencing this masterpiece

I would say that Clannad after story has zero rewatchable ability and you'd ask me why? Because the first time anyone really sits down to watch after story, going through all the painful moments with Tomoya Ushio and Nagisa along with a soundtrack created so masterfully that words can't describe it you feel as if your being torn apart only to be reconnected at the very end. After story is an experience which hits you in the moment and doesn't require a second viewing or even a serious breakdown of events as has become the norm these days and i can only say thankyou to the creators for allowing me to enjoy the experience
Slice of life....
I am growing older, wiser, more experienced, Clannad is still a good memory of entertainment I had a few years ago, as it depicts several topics of young adulthood and beyond. 😊
I think Clannad is a stepping stone to the 'Slice of Life' genre for a lot of people because of it.
Most people get into anime through the more renowned 'Action' animes like Bleach, Naruto, DBZ etc... Due to that, a lot of anime watchers will overlook the 'Slice of Life' genre because it appears boring in comparison.
But then when you see a tile pop up as much as Clannad does, it's mentioned on every forum, page and/or wall that has anything to do with anime, you can't help but wonder why it's brought up so much... Then you watch it and start to question the sanity of the humans that willingly watch this knowing full well what it entails.
Watching Clannad was kind of a life changing experience for me, at least in the sense that it really put's things into (somewhat of a) perspective for me.
To expand on what you said Kevin, the older and wiser you get, the more you find yourself appreciating all the things that you ran straight past as a kid. You find yourself holding on to the oldest things because you're afraid to let go of who you were to make room for who you can and will be. It's an inevitable inner conflict that's just part of growing up.
Clannad taught me that it's okay to let go because it doesn't always mean it's gone, it just means it's become part of you in a different way. A memory. An experience. A lesson. An opportunity... A new chapter.
*applause*
Thank you all for coming! You've been a great audience.
Tune in next week when I talk about how watching Naruto made me steal my best friend's eye-ball!
I personally have found that as I've gotten older, I've preferred the 'Slice of Life' animes as opposed to the 'Action' animes that I watched as a kid (Naruto, Inuyasha, etc). I'm not sure when the switch happened for me, but I can say that Clannad also had that kind of impact on me as it was the first real 'Slice of Life' I watched all the way through. Clannad and Your Lie in April have had such an impact on my life that I find it difficult to watch them again because of how much they've affected me personally and emotionally, which is kind of sad because I would love to watch them again, but I started the first episode and legit cried in the first 10 minutes. I hope that everyone had a similar feeling coming off this show...
this anime has been so life changing for me
Kieran Smith - Well said my friend ..
This anime was honestly the most beautiful anime i have ever seen it makes me happy, upset, sad all in the same time which i find very interesting. The beauty and reality in this anime makes me want to live in the anime I don't know how to describe the feelings i felt through my journey through this show. It's been 5 years and I still think about this show every day. AHHHH IM CRYING AGAIN TFFFF
Clannad changed my outlook on love in a family aspect, Angel Beats changed my outlook on love in a friend aspect.
Words cant describe how much I fucking broke down. This anime completely changed the way I look at life and im thankful for that.
Close your eyes and breath slowly in and out while listening to his song. It's amazing the thoughts you can have. This song is beautiful.
The story of tomoya and his father was one of the most emotional parts for me, especially when his dad realised he could go and had done enough. My relationship with my father can be rocky and on and off, but he reminds me of tomoyas dad where he tried with gifts and stuff where he could. My dad did that with lollies/candy too. Plus he looks like my dad so much too. I cried when his grandma made tomoya realise his dad loves him.
I listened this song on spotify like 2 weeks ago, and now it played again from my recommendations, i couldn't figure why i was on the verge of tears. Today i just google it, just for remember why i feel so sad about it.
Then i remembered this anime, i was a teenager when i watched this and i loved the story. About that time i really "clicked" with Tomoya, because i had a bad relationship with my dad and i wished for some kind of connection or meeting that would change my life or my view of life.
Like 8 years have pass and that relationship had rotten, but i'm happy with it. I learned to let go and appreciate my friends and my brother, so even if i can't repair that. That broken relationship gave me the chance to open to my friends and to just talk with my brother, who was in the "same place" as me.
I think this song is the most emotional ost in Clannad other than Roaring Tides.
ikr
***** lol, dango daikazoku is not a happy song... :P it has a coat of happy tunes but it can strike you pretty hard some people cry when they hear that song
***** btw, are you dutch?
Agree!
@@ThaVillageGamers cause most are traumatized by Nagisa dying, Dango Daikazoku was played at that scene
This Anime helped me see the world in a new perspective. I have the desire to make friends and help friends in need and I sometimes wish I went to school in Japan in my teenage years.
Bro, You'll be a "outsider" if you just come from anywhere to the school of any country as the real world ain't like that but i wish it was so good luck wishing that, so try to help the friends you make yourself throughout your life!! Awesome anime BTW but someone was cutting onions behind me while i watched ep 21......
Ehhh no you don’t
This unparalleled masterpiece of a show is life changing...
This is and will always be my 1st favorite no matter how much time goes by.. that will never change... God I miss clannad so much.. :,(
12/9/2023 edit: been over 3 years since i last watched Clannad after story, and let me tell you this: my mind hasn't changed one bit. It still is life changing, and has changed my life so so much it's insane.
Me too, man. Me too
So amazing. I first heard all the amazing Clannad soundtracks like these from KyoAni, Clannad was first anime from their studio I ever watched and honestly my favorite.
Thank you KyoAni and Key for doing such a beautiful job at touching the hearts of millions around the world
Coming back because it's been five years since the KyoAni incident 😢
ah... the feels are coming back..
Spoilers
That moment when nagisa passed away... it didnt register for me. Its like one of those moments where you refuse to accept the weight of the matter, the reality. It was after seeing tomoya breaking down that it hits me: shes gone. The character who we love and supports. Shes gone. And then cones the tear jerking episodes that were 18 and 19 (if im not mistakened) that really hit the sore spot. I dont typically cry to much, but this- this made me bawl. It was painful. It was raw emotions. I dont think i could ever find an anime as tear jerking as this. Thank you, kyoani.
Same here,i was like no Nagisa but be sleeping or something else,she can’t be dead🥺
For me Ushio calling Tomoya Daddy for the first time and their death in the snow tore me apart. I'm also not a very emotional person I barely tear up from watching your name or silent voice but Clannad got me for good. TBH it's way intense than Anohana and GOTFF imo.
I finished this about a month ago and it hurt BAD. Fuko's story pulled a few tears out of me, but Nagisa's passing was... devastating to say the least. I kinda put myself in Tomoya's shoes at that moment, all the memories coming back at once. I cried harder than when I watched YLIA, but Clannad kept it going with even more heart punches. Almost any time they brought up Nagisa in memory, I felt Tomoya's pain. That train scene where he finally allowed himself to remember... allowed himself to say her name once more... I didn't know I could shed that many tears in a span of a day or two 😂. Even the scene with the father, just UGH. Sad to think I was once iffy on watching it, but when I heard Kyoto made it, I had to see. If not for my respect they earned with Violet Evergarden, then because of beauty of animation and storytelling that they never slack on. I
I knew this wasn't ultimately going to be how it ends though
It's been almost 2 and a half years since clannad changed me.
I'm blessed. Had I not watched this anime, i wouldn't have a goal in life although my past self's mistakes still scar me, I won't give up.
Thank you clannad. Thank you jun maeda.
I get flooded by feels every time I hear the clannad soundtracks xD
Clannad is an absolute masterpiece~
The most emotional scene is when Tomoya speaks about Nagisa with Ushio, isn't it?
"And then"
"Nagisa was..."
"NAGISAAA!"
- Tomoya: cries
- Ushio: cries with him
When Nagisa Die i was lonely... I cry that sad never before but i recover when Ushio Show... when they are on the Train i Realize and end up Crying After Tomoya said "Ushio you want to know about mommy?" After that Tomoya Cried.. I dont know what to do but Cry Because of the memory they have.. i realize that Tomoya show me a Great Lesson i will never Forget i Agree this is The No.1 Anime No one Can beat it Because it shows the Slice Of Life of the Shining in The Sky :)
WHY!!!! WHY WOULD YOU SPOIL THE ENDING!!!! AHHHHH DAMN IT ALL TO HELL!!!!!!!!
Kyoto Animation gave me the invaluable gift of Clannad, and to hear about what happened deeply saddens me. May everyone involved heal fully soon.
Rest in peace, Kamachi Ai. Thank you for all the wonderful and impactful work you blessed us with.
Merinding dan agak sedih juga musiknya,Jun Maeda emang gak pernah gagal membuat aransemen lagu,kadang ada beberapa lagu yang membuatnya lebih tenang
Thank you to all those who were involved in creating this anime. I think it changed my life.
Can't stop listening to this shows ost. What a masterpiece.
Maeda wrote this prolly after understanding life's meaning. And trully philosopher. I once noticed an anime that mention a book name psychology piano or music that refer to himself. That's why his every soundtrack had deep feeling innit.
I send all my respect for the master who made this amazing melody, not only this one. All of the clannad's ost. A great job. Very well done. Amazing.
Growing up my father was pretty much emotionally unavailable and not fully present resulting in a lot of emotional baggage on me. It’s a burden that’s become part of my life in spite of that I still loved him. His mistakes as a parent took a toll on me yet I still loved and appreciated him for his efforts. I’m now 24 and with a child, he passed away earlier this year. I’m at the point that I don’t know how to deal with all the hurt he caused and hearing this song just reminds me of how much I once yearned for a happy family. He is missed greatly
For the past 6 years I've found that I always return to this song when I can't find a way to express how I feel.
Clannad got me to connect with my emotional side more than i wouldve on my own and also destroyed the image of women for me forever. Good luck finding an irl nagisa. Those are diamonds.
Tomoya too...
Nagisa and Tomoya both are rarest of rare gems...
day 5:
this song really calms me down before going to sleep. although sometimes it makes me cry. it’s so nostalgic
Jonghyun, you're the brightest star shining in the sky. Goodbye, and may we meet again, someday, in a far away place. You did well, now rest.
Andreea Phantomhive i was thinking about him while listen to this song. I hope he's happy now
Clannad is the best anime ever... agree? Like
Little Mix maybe not the best(everyone has diff opinions) but it definitely is top 10, at least for me
Its my number one
I think that it is the best anime.. and sadest..
Lol, maybe you haven't seen Attack on Titans or death. And calling about sadness.. even Jiraya's death in Naruto was equally saddening.
Inferno try watching with subtitles if you don't understand Japanese. In that way maybe you will be able to like them.
Clannad is a life changing Anime Story that you will never find on anime nowadays. I really feel sad after watching clannad even though I know its a happy Ending T^T
this anime changed a lot of people without a joke, lot of people started appreciating family, friends and life
whenever i open any video of clannad soundtrack on YT i see lots of people's comment like how they changed, well we dont know if they really changed or not but atleast they have courage to say that they are atleast changed
It made me think over life :
We start as a kid , We go to school , With the changing time we think we need to change the things they are , We grow , We go to collage , We get married , We start our new life and when our children goes far from us our life's stuck and when we are nearby to death, at that time we look back and think what have been left behind by us .
At first we hate it but deep down we know that what happend to the things and the place all have been done by us , then we realise that our life was just as bad as this change was for someone else.
If only i had one more chance i would have loved to became a student again and enjoy all the happiness by friendship and love again.
Being a children was the best part of my life , i m going to miss this too much. 😭😭😭
clannad raped my emotions
You made me chuckle, thanks man
RaftProduction No problem dude
looks out window- IM FUNNY
Clannad ruined me. I was a unemotional man who didn't get choked up often. Not anymore guys. This damn show broke me. Shattered my heart and put it back together.
I'm going to confess something. I never cried with anime, but Clannad was the closest of them. I remember almost cring when someone was dying (you know who I'm talking about) but then some chapters after, in the train scene my chest hurt so much and I had a a lump in the throat, the feeling didn't dissapeared in 2 days, it stopped hurting in like 10 mins but the feeling was still there.
In simple words, I love Clannad.
I just watched Clannad like a month ago just because I'm bored, nothing to do, and suddenly thinking 'many people said Clannad is good. Maybe I should watch it now'. Somehow I'm grateful that I can avoid spoilers until this time, so yeah, I have full entertainment (and moral lessons) out of this.
Now I'm crazily spamming my timeline about Clannad to hook as many people as possible to watch Clannad. It's just so good, easily my top favorite anime ever.
same its my all time favorite and that will never change
this song is so perfect, clannad has had me hold back my tears when i first watched it, i couldnt hold back anymore the time fuuko's sister got married, and when tomoya and nagisa remembered her, i know there are plenty of anime shows out there that are just as heartwarming, but i dont think any of them can top clannad
this track.. makes me feel like there is hope, and that everything will be okay.
cindyy the hedgehog --continuation of what you're saying mate--
And in the end we're all going to die soon anyway
How positive XD
cindyy the hedgehog yess sister. that's exactly what i feel when i listen it
*It makes me go cry in the corner*
true words
Clannad... The only one anime that makes me cry so much bad, Clannad is the anime that would be never forgotten in my mind forever and ever... the song and the story is so much great. Thank you who ever create this amazing anime♥️♥️
時がたつにつれて、地元の風景が変わっていく中 自分も変わっていくのが泣けてくる 子供のころ遊んでいた公園やおもちゃは次第に消え・・・ そんなことを思っていたら泣けてきた 当時クラナドを見ていた時代が懐かしく思える まるで自分のことのように思えて涙が出てきた
I wish that Clannad remains as a timeless classic. It truly set itself as the gateway to visual novels for me. It...was an amazing experience. It was one of those times on which you look back and say "wow that really changed me."
This song was made the background music for the Malaysia Airlines incident timeline posted on Facebook. It was very touching for me and I thank you to the creator of the timeline. #prayforMH370
Clannad made me drop manly tears 3 times in just one episode. Truly something else...man
How many times do I have to tell you people!? I DON'T WANNA GO BACK TO FEELSVILLE. No, but seriously. I love this song. Always have.
I don't cry, but I did shed a manly tear for this series.
Wow, I just noticed how similar the field in this picture is with the desolate world that Ushio and Tomoya we're trapped in.
Because the Illusionary World is a fusion of parts of the real world that got impressed in Ushio's memory during her short life. She created that world...
Clannad and Anohana I think are the only pieces of fiction to ever make me cry. Both are probably some of the most beautiful pieces of fiction that will ever exist. Nothing has ever painted such beautiful pictures of life.
You should watch Angel Beats!
I've always been recommenced to watch that one but I never have, I really should sometime.
Ben Corbett
It's a different kind of emotion than Clannad. Many people have been disappointed. I watched it before Clannad and it was the first anime to make me legit cry. Like, other shows got me to tear up, but the feeling was circumstantial and faded pretty quickly. Angel Beats was the first for me that really stirred something on the inside. It made me cry both times I watched it, and the second time was only later that week. Dubbed and Subbed (which one is right for you is a different discussion altogether). I still highly recommend Angel Beats, but don't be expecting the same flavor of emotion as Clannad, because you'll be disappointed by the difference.
Well Try and watch sakurasou no pet,Angel beats thats a really sad anime
HalcyonSerenade i honestly dont mean this in an insulting way, but what exactly was so sad about angel beats? clannad was extremely emotional for me, but I honestly didn't like angel beats that much. I thought the ending was pretty sad, but that was about it...nothing compared to clannad for me
Why am i happy yet sad at the same time? This mix feeling is pleasing yet there's a hole missing that i can't find. A phenomenon that can't be explained from watching this piece of art. My love for this anime is boundless that reaches beyond stars, galaxies, universe, places that the human mind cannot even comprehend. The hole in my heart is still missing 10 years later. May this anime be in our hearts forever. To whoever's reading this, may you live a happy and fulfilling life.
BTW going to rewatch this anime. Praise the lord i don't cry up a storm.
This was probably the most emotionally draining anime I've ever watched. It probably took me a week to recover after Afterstory. While I don't think it's my favorite, it's definitely unforgettable. Just hearing this song and reading people's comments here made me tear up.
Thank you Clannad for making me understand the meaning of my life, I once thought about killing myself, but when I watched Clannad I understood that I was not alone and Im trying to make myself better.
I'm very happy for you, reading the comments on this video I realize how beautiful this world is, and remember, you will never be alone, but always accompanied by a big dango family.🍡🍡🍡
This is one of the most memorable moments in Clannad.❤
