Leviathan Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 So i just finished Clannad After Story a few days back. It was pretty awesome and loved all the emotional scenes there. But after the ending I said to myself "Is it overrated? Maybe a little". Anime News Network gave this anime a rating of 9.07/10. I found myself giving it 8.3/10. So what do you guys think? Is it overrated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osborn_2009 Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 I don't think it was over rated at all. I'm pretty sure I went through just about every emotional known to man during Clannad - Clannad: After Story. lol. One of my favorites all time. But im a total sucker for romance anime 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xist Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 The final episode of After Story (ep 22?) was absolutely terrible, breaking both the internal logic of the anime, and ruining the effect of events in the previous episode. I enjoyed After Story but when i can say that Haruhi's Endless Eight section left me with better feelings than the end of After Story i know that something is seriously wrong with that finale.

Personally, it was over-rated because the flow of the whole show was totally destroyed attempting to maintain the happiness of the characters. Its not a bad thing, but it'd probably be better, story-wise, if the ending didn't take a drastic loop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leviathan Posted May 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 I myself thought that it was a little overrated. I didn't like the last episode that much. Though it was a happy ending it was a little weird the way they finished it. The way they finished it could've been better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroPenguins Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 For me absolutely not, they definitely deserved the score. First of all they kept true to the Visual Novel and they did an excellent job with the anime, I'm sure most viewers were pulled along the story to basically the end of it and our emotions went for a drive as well. Not many animes can pull that off, so IMO this anime deserved all the ratings/score. Play the VN if you want to know more about story and characters =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pingcheck Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 I'm going to say it deserves the rating because the ending was just about the only thing wrong with it, and that isn't enough to ruin it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alivetonight Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 I don't think it's overrated, I love clannad it was my first romance anime (and then me and my cousin watched school days as a challenge it was shit). I think fan base killed the series for some people and watching it off recommendation can dull down the experience. Clannad is amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megagold5 Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Clannad is excellent, right up the last few episodes of After Story. Screw that cop-out, seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
† RazorDan Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 If you look at it objectively, there were flaws, especially with the ending. However, it was a pure emotional rollercoaster and the first anime to move me to tears. Not many shows have such a profound effect on me and so I cannot call it overrated 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilex Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 No! Wish there were more animes like Clannad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boolakala Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 To me, "overrated" would mean that I'm comparing my opinion of a show to what a "consensus" says. It doesn't really matter to me if a bunch of people like a show or not. I try not to compare my thoughts of a show like that nowadays. I liked After Story though. Some twists in there that I didn't really see coming. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gamerster Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 oh snap. Clannad After Story overrated? hmmm.... well the I use to hear a lot of stuff about this series back in the day but now people dont really talk about it anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanzel Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 No way. It's definitely my top romance anime and, I hate to admit, nothing has ever made me cry as much as Clannad (especially the 2nd half of After Story). I didn't mind the ending so much because I hate sad or incomplete endings (I don't want to imagine it). It's pretty hard to wrap up the story but if you've played the Visual Novel version of Clannad, the ending makes a bit more sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sevurai Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 I have to agree I don't normally go for the romance stuff, I'm more of an action anime guy, but this one was great. Plus Its really hard to make me cry but this show got me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowtheman Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 I thought Clannad was better then the after story, but don't get me wrong there both great. In the first season the whole mysterious girl thing seemed mostly symbolic with the direction the story was going. In the second it picked up a more mysterius vybe and a life of its own. I think they were going to go in a diffrent direction with this but they wrote themselves into a corner makeing the last part of the last episode forced. After all that, after all this they killled of the little girl. I can see it on there faces when they realized what they did. They looked up at each other with the an Oh sh#$ look on there faces. They had to fix it some how with out removeing the source of all that intence emotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
