Manga Entertainment Clannad Complete Series Collection

It is by far the best anime I've seen. Animation is smooth, beautiful backgrounds, characters and soundtrack ( which is amazing ). Clannad is different than any other anime. Script is great however I would personally done certain things differently. It seems like this anime floats between happy moments and sad, it's like those two emotions intertwine.For me, a little bit let down was a fact that Okazaki ( main character ) being a delinquent doesn't act as one. Instead he appears to be lost and angry that's why he acts in certain ways ( not gonna spoil anything :)) . Another let down was a English voice cast. Main character sounds like an adult (tough guy) and Kyou sounds like a voilent village girl. It spoils a little bit of atmosphere in some episodes. But I gotta say they tried their best with some emotional scenes. I would advise to watch original japanese language with subtitles, it feels natural that way.I would like to hear voice actor from Kanon ( english voice actor for character - Yuichi Aizawa ) as Okazaki in Clannad. Because he did great job with Kanon! And as Nagisa ( Clannad ) voice actress that dubbed Ayu from ( Kanon ). She sounds adorable...Concluding : you will get great package that will make you laugh hard and make you sad inside. Possible to shear a tear or two.Definitely a Buy!5/5 Overall.

Clannad Complete Series Collection [DVD]One of anime's best-loved series, a beautiful story of romance, tragedy, and drama:Okazaki Tomoya is a delinquent who finds life dull and believes he'll never amount to anything. Along with his friend Sunohara, he skips school and plans to waste his high school days away.One day while walking to school, Tomoya passes a young girl muttering quietly to herself. Without warning she exclaims "Anpan!" (a popular Japanese food) which catches Tomoya's attention. He soon discovers the girl's name is Furukawa Nagisa and that she exclaims things she likes in order to motivate herself. Nagisa claims they are now friends, but Tomoya walks away passing the encounter off as nothing.However, Tomoya finds he is noticing Nagisa more and more around school. Eventually he concedes and befriends her. Tomoya learns Nagisa has been held back a year due to a severe illness and that her dream is to revive the school's drama club. Claiming he has nothing better to do, he decides to help her achieve this goal along with the help of four other girls.As Tomoya spends more time with the girls, he learns more about them and their problems. As he attempts to help each girl overcome her respective obstacle, he begins to realise life isn't as dull as he once thought.Item arrived as described, in good time, and in good condition, thoroughly pleased with this purchase.

CLANNAD is one of many great anime made by key.it is based on the final year in high school for the dilinquant Tomoya Okazaki who is tired of both his life and the town he lives in, that is until he meets a shy Nagisa Furukawa on his way to school and befriends her whilst helping her revive the schools drama club.Without giving away any spoilers it is hard to put into words of how good this anime (as with Key's other work (Kanon, Air)) actually is. This anime would be perfect for anybody who is a fan of Animes with great character personality builds (even in secondary and minor characters) and anybody who find any school based shows interesting, this searies of CLANNAD also has many aspects to grip the veiwers to it, using Comedy, drama and part of a tale that leaves the veiwer wondering of its significance (which is explained in the afterstory Series of CLANNAD). The veiwer is also bought into the story with the excellent usage of music for any major scene.This is a great purchase and i would suggest any anime fans and anybody interested in veiwing animes to purchase CLANNAD and CLANNAD afterstory, also i would recommend Kanon, and Air which are 2 of keys other animes.

This is great, one of the best anime I have ever seen. Cute and highly emotional. Oh and a bit weird.

What can I say about this animation series....This a roller coaster of emotions. The characters are great the story lines are fab. The music to this series is exceptional. Trust me buy this you won't be disappointed. Also dare you not cry in this series because trust me you will.

The title is meant to imply "Family" but the creators became confused....This one started as a pc game and comes from the same stable as Kanon. We follow a number of girls with problems who are helped by our hero - note that this one is a family show, there is no "fan service". The emotions may run a little high at times (I know of males in their late teens shedding a tear...) but this one is gentle compared to the severe emotions of the follow up, Clannad-After Story.There is a funny little side story regarding a girl on her own who makes a robot of sorts. You might get this if you also watch After Story but otherwise try not to worry about it, it is a very complex bit of plotting.Instead enjoy the youngsters trying to make a go of bureaucratic school administration and the triumph of getting together a school drama society. There is some comedic violence, deliberately in the style of a video game (with bonuses awarded) but the violent reputation of one of the characters if one of the problems to be oversome, it is essential to the story. There is no excess of blood.The concept of the school "ghost" does not translate from Japanese culture too well- the "spirit" is not a ghost as understood in the West but something else which does get communicated in the story quite well.Lovely animation, great characters, a storyline which is complex but sticks to one character at a time so that as one character is helped we suddenly jump to concentrate on another character. Nice animation and reasonable family fare but do observe the 12 certificate for strong emotions and comic violence.

Total classic. Starts off with a few patchy episodes but gets better and better. Very touching lovely art. Kinda magical.

Commande très rapide et état excellent. Je recommande l'article.

:') que puedo decir de Clannad es una serie que te hace crecer como ser humano, te enseña a que si te esfuerzas puedes lograr tus objetivos y como todo en la vida hay momentos buenos y malos :'(

Can't complain

I don't like the case it's too hard to pull the disc out but other than that it's AWESOME

It is not easy to review Clannad without singing it's praises up past the ceiling.Story wise it comes across as a simple High School story, with comedic and dramatic elements interwoven in a very skilled fashion.The series roots as a Visual Novel are apparent through the 24 episode runtime, which is presented as a straight run for 23 of the episodes, and an alternate ending in the last, but is also clearly divided into 3 major arcs: The Fuuko arc, the Katomi Arc, and the Drama Club (or the Nagisa arc).The story flows at a smooth pace, introducing most, if not all the relevant characters, while still leaving bits to be revealed in later episodes. While segments can get a bit fanciful at times, at no point does it venture into territory that feels unreal, and the characters are all charming and interesting enough that they all earn a place in your heart by the final episode.The emotional connection to the characters is one of the strongest selling points of the series. As noted in other review, be prepared to cry, a lot. In no other series have I found myself laughing until I cried in one episode, and crying in the next because the material is so devastatingly sad, but relatable. But while the tear spawning content is never in short supply, the comedy and heartwarming parts shine even brighter. Characters form the overblown and insane antics of Sunohara, to the seemingly overly dramatic Yuuske, pepper the supporting cast and make them easy to love, and do not at all detract from the central relation between Okizaki and Nagisa. One of the highlights is the fact that almost every time Nagisa's mother and father appear on screen, you are almost guaranteed to laugh or cry.Another highlight is the soundtrack. Again harkening back to it's roots, the soundtrack, from the background in scenes, to each characters unique theme, is lifted almost exactly from the original work. I had not realized that I had picked up the background music from the series until I read through the VN, and hearing the music brought back memories and in some instances (Nagisa's Big Dango Family, for one,) brought me back to tears. Touching, uplifting, and haunting in all the right places, the score is top notch.Overall, I cannot recommend this series highly enough. The themes inside, of friendship, teenage anxiety, family, the desire to be loved, and more make this a series that I feel can be enjoyed by all age groups.In short, if you are a fan of not raunchy high school comedies, cute romance tales, entertaining yarns, or just stories that leave a lasting impact long after they are over, Clannad is a necessary watch.On the topic of Voice Over, while I have not viewed it in Japanese, I can say that the English Dub is superb, the voices feel right in each character, from the airy shyness in Nagisa, to the barely contained anger of Kyou, to the pure over the top energy of Sunohara.
