The dango song, sadly, was different from the TV version. It gave me a sense of nostalgia listening to it. Music wise, I recognized a lot of the background tracks from the VN present in this. However most of the time the animation is smooth and flows nicely. This was a point that I sort of disliked, as I couldn’t get used to it. The animation at times is choppy and has areas where they simply have a still image (Glasslip like). Though it isn’t bad, it was still jarring for me as I expected the same style as the TV version. The art is not as sharp, with more of a olden style feel. Most of these characters are in line with the TV version, but Sunohara and Nagisa’s father, Akio are particularly more exaggerated in their actions.įor the animation and artwork, there is a distinct difference from the TV version. Seriously, I can’t even deal with the amount of derp sometimes. We had a sense of his values and his change from a trouble maker to someone productive. Personally I felt as if they did quite a good job portraying his character in the short amount of time. Tomoya is a person who acts aloof and has a host of problems, but through time with Nagisa he begins to change.

With their personalities, problems and how they act, we can often feel a sense of connection to them. The characters are what makes Clannad so special for a lot of people. For those who already know about Clannad, the differences are mainly the interactions, Sunohara’s character and Ibuki-sensei. I’m not going to say more as this will ruin the experience for you.

The main themes that this focuses on is the idea of family and loss. This version of the story is very comedic, as opposed to the more serious tones of the TV one. The story focuses on Okazaki Tomoya and Furukawa Nagisa, about their life in high school and then later beyond that. Yet at the same time it manages to convey the themes in a similar fashion as the TV one.Ĭlannad the Movie is very much Clannad with some slightly different aspects. I have to say, this version feels a lot… derpier than the original. Tomoya Okazaki is a cynical delinquent who lacks ambition as he apathetically labors through high school.So I decided to hit up Clannad again, this time as a movie. During his childhood, a tragedy had caused his father to seek solace in alcoholism and neglect his son. Yet, meaningful human interaction can be a benediction, as Tomoya learns when he meets the enigmatic Nagisa Furukawa. The odd girl offers a gesture of friendship to Tomoya, but he rejects the request, dismissing it as a trivial incident. However, as he soon realizes that he is encountering Nagisa more and more often during school, Tomoya drops his discompassions and befriends the girl. When he learns that Nagisa's dream is to revive the Drama Club, Tomoya decides to shed his detachment from the ordinary pleasures of life and dedicate himself to helping his new friend achieve her ambition. But what starts as a simple friendship may progress into something far more deep, intimate, and life-changing. As the pair face various hardships and afflictions, Tomoya and Nagisa gradually come to terms with the challenges of life.

*An alternate interpretation of the Clannad story centered around the Nagisa x Tomoya couple.*ĭid you get confused with the ending in Clannad After Story? Did you wish for a more realistic ending? Did you know that Clannad The Motion Picture might just be what you are looking for? Or perhaps you have heard of Clannad and Clannad After Story from all your friends, but you have yet to try it out? Clannad The Motion Picture (TMP for short) provides a great summary of all the major events that took place in the ~46 episodes (excluding OVA/recap) series between the two main protagonists. That the movie is retelling a story in ~90 minutes that its TV counterpart took ~1100 minutes to tell! Thus some events may seem to occur at an unreasonable pace. While the story is still being told from Tomoya’s perspective, many aspects of the show depart from the TV series.īut nonetheless Clannad TMP is still a movie that a true Clannad fan should not miss out on.
