Anime Review: Clannad (TV series)

Plot Summary: Okazaki Tomoya is a high-school student in his third year. However, he's a delinquent because of his strained relationship with his father. One day, he meets a girl named Furukawa Nagisa, whose a year older than him but is repeating a year due to her weak health. She plans to reopen the Theatre Club and Tomoya somehow got himself mixed up into it (though he actually volunteered to help, but not join.). Through Nagisa, he learns to see life in a new way.

Storyline: 8/10. Another of Key's work. Superb, but not as great as Kanon. But this time, unlike Key's previous works, the lead male has a more headstrong character rather than the usual passive ones common in Key's works. There is less drama, but the comedy makes up for all of it.

Music: 9/10. I actually prefer the music here over Kanon's. Dango Daikazoku is also my best friend's favourite song right now.

Artwork: 8.5/10. It still looks a lot like Kanon and Air, but there is some improvement. The colours are brighter than Kanon since it leans more to the comedy side than drama.

Overall: 8.8/10. I loved this series for the comedy. Each girl's story isn't that impressive anymore, but as I have said, comedy is this show's best point. Everytime they make you feel down, they make you laugh again with very suitable jokes. I also highly recommend this anime. And I can't wait for the sequel!
