The studio has never failed to impress us with its unique animation styles and art. There isn’t much to say about the visuals because just knowing that Kyoto Animation was involved is more than enough. Speaking of characters, just like real life, each of them goes through a subtle transformation all along and no one can really be confined to a particular personality type. But that is not the case with ‘Clannad’ and though it does put a lot of emphasis on distributing the stories of each character along with the storyline, all of this together adds value to the overarching plot as well. Some might just assume that by doing this, it just focuses on different characters at different times and just leaves the rest of it in “standby” mode.
‘Clannad’ is entirely character-driven and has arcs that are distributed based on their focus on each individual character. It’s almost like reading a good self-help novel that helps you find your “purpose in life”. ‘Clannad’ has none of these and its purity towards its genre is what makes it stand out. These things are pretty normal for regular anime viewers but for someone new to it, these can often be big turn-offs. We come across many anime shows these days, especially the ones of the romance genre, that depend a lot on their “attractiveness” and fan-service. ‘Clannad’ is the kind of anime that I would recommend to anyone regardless of your taste or previous experience with anime.
