Are we talking the first season or After Story? The first one was okay. Not memorable. I'm slowly forgetting most of it already. After Story is manipulative. It forces the viewer to feel immense amounts of sadness. I'll admit I cried. I cried rapids. But I firmly believe that the ending as well as the events that took place before the ending were manipulative. Yet, after all has been said, After Story is a significantly better story than the first season. It's also more memorable. So I'll give it a star~
After Story lost me by the ending. I don't know what the story wanted to prove by doing what it did, but it sure wasn't proving that it could neatly tie up a story. . . Still. I cried. Buckets. I had to put the buckets in larger buckets cause they were beginning to overflow with my tears. . .
I can't rewatch it. I'm afraid if I do, I'd lose all the testosterone in my body then slowly develop a chest. Though, I still feel a hollow beating pain whenever I watch Clannad After Story's Opening as well as Dango Diakazoku.
The show is just so tear-jerking. It should't be! The drama is inorganic and over-saturated, the characters are hollow, and the ending punched me in the jaw. But why is it still this tear-jerking!?!
everytime i think about clannad my heart aches
