Clannad - Disappointment
Bruh this shit is unironically the most boring show Ive ever watched. I literally fell asleep watching this how can anyone like this, I honestly want to know. I havent watched After Story yet which is supposed to be a lot better, but if that means having to sit through this steaming pile of trash then no thanks. I watched 7 episodes does it ever get better?
Edit: Before you keep telling me that I should just drop it, yes I will now that I read all of these comments. My initial question, if it wasnt obvious enough, was that I wanted to know whether or not things change or actually get interesting at some point of the show which doesnt seem to be the case.
if you dont like it just drop it
well I was just wondering if there was maybe some kind of turning point where things get drastically different but ig not. Thanks anyway
it does change, very drastic change
Idk, human nature I suppose.
dango dango dango dango dango daikazoku
yeah thanks for reminding me that the opening was absolute garbage aswell
that's the ending song
well its still bad
dango daikazoku is one of the best songs in existence what are u on about
True... Clannad is the best anime i've seen till now, and i don't think it will change, of course the first season of clannad isn't that entertaining, but that long buildup is definitely worth it, and dango daikazoku breaks my heart when i hear it, just like Roaring tides, Nagisa, Small palms and Toki wo Kizamu Uta.
I mean, if you don't like this style of story then don't watch it, but I think clannad's quality is fairly typical for a harem show. (Actually, it's a bit better than normal.) If you're wondering why everyone recs after story, it's because the story gets drastically different around halfway through after story.
No Im aware that after story is rated much higher because its different, I just wanted to know if Clannad maybe has a turning point like this aswell. But apparently not so Im not gonna finish it
When I was watching Clannad, I think I fell asleep to it 7 or 8 times. It wasn't a quick nap or anything of that sort, I would literally pass out of boredom and wake up the next day. Well, I was usually watching it at night, but still, it shouldn't put me to sleep like some fucking insomnia cure. So, what did I do? I dropped it, and you should do that as well. I don't care how supposedly great After Story is, it's not worth it.
Also, the character designs are fucking ghastly.
Lmao yeah I think Ill do that
[Removed]
Im watching Monster atm actually and Im definitely liking it more than Clannad. I heard its very slow but I dont mind it and I realy like the atmosphere. Clannad is just straight up unfiltered boredom
idk if I can recommend a cowsoy becrap fan anything good but a good step would be to watch The Sopranos
Well sorry Im not a fan of watching girls with a mental age of 5 do literally nothing for 24 episodes. Also how am I a bebop fan I didnt even finish or rate it yet
Well idk what I expected but a little more than absolutely nothing maybe?
Hmm I understand that your disappointment is immeasurable and your day is ruined but there is no need to be so mean toward a show without even explaining your point. On a personal note, I liked it when I watched it.
Well my point is that I thought it was boring as shit and I wanted to know whether or not things might change like half way through the show but I guess not.
I sorta share your sentiment, Clannad was very average at the beginning and only started to pick up at the end of Season 1. What saved it mostly at the beginning was the comedy, but again, that's a reason people also don't bear the first 48 episodes of Gintama.
Honestly, if you don't like it so far, I would recommend you to not continue. And don't skip to After Story because you will understand nothing of what's happening.
I do like comedy anime if theyre actually funny. But I dont think Clannad ever even got a single laugh out of me.
honestly skip the rest of season 1 and watch after story, you'll miss a bit of characterization but there's a reason i rated AS more than double what season 1 got
i don't recall there being any must-know plot points from S1 needed in AS either, maybe read a summary or something
Well someone else just commented not to skip to afterstory as I wont understand whats going on at all.
this is an alternative, but it does maybee take away from a possible connection to the story and to the characters. Clannad is a big part of why Clannad afterstory hits so hard. But i guess its possible to just skip to afterstory, i know there will be recap episode at tte end that will take you through it again anyway so maybee do that. I get the curiosity in wanting to watch something that is so popular..so i totally get your point.
this is with every anime. disappointed? just drop it no one forcing it down ur throat dud
I just wanted to know whether things maybe change or smth cuz I heard a lot of good things about Clannad and Afterstory but apparently thats not the case
that is not the case with you. You seem not to like the first season already. so why would you like the second one in particular?. The after-story is good but it relates to the first season too so idk if not ur taste then is ok
Ive heard that Afterstory is very different from the first season so I thought maybe the first season becomes more like it towards the end
I agree I found Clannad really boring but trust me its worth sitting through it Clannad After Story is SO MUCH better
As I said in my original comment, if I have to watch 20 more episodes of trash to get to the good part then Id rather watch something thats good from the very beginning
it's called slice of life, if you don't like the genre go watch something else...
I like slice of life when the characters lives are actually interesting
I felt the same way after completing the series the first time. But I had just discovered Kyoani and, back then, I was determined to watch everything they produced so I didn't mind that Clannad was mid. I finished After Story later too just to satisfy my curiosity of where the plot was heading. There are definitely other shows that may fit your taste better if this series is too bland for you. It's ok to be disappointed when you leap into something with expectations that other people set. Time to move on to something new and (hopefully) better. :)
I would say, like the others, Clannad isn't for you. It's a very slow-paced show that looks into different types of family, the hardships they face and how they overcome it - the word "Clannad" is derived from "Clan" in Gaelic and is associated with family. If you weren't interested after 7 episodes then not much will really change.
While the story does change later on and After Story fleshes out some parts more, the core of the show doesn't change. It's very much about the journey, not the end. There is no "climax" as such that even other slice of life shows might have. If you watch it waiting for something to change you'll end up disappointed. I found the show and its take on various themes very interesting, but I was interested from around episode 3. Essentially, if you aren't interested now, you won't find how the story develops very interesting in my opinion.
One thing I'd like to mention is that Clannad (and After Story) is adapted from the visual novel. Some people might prefer the format of the show in the visual novel style. It's not cheap but it might be worth checking out if you feel you'd enjoy it more.
It has a word count of 1,300,000 words.
More than double the size of Steins Gate VN.
Longer than the Harry Potter series.That's pretty neat, seems like it's worth the money then if one likes the anime. Word count isn't everything though
Not a clannad fan but you're mad weak if you can't even sit through 7 episodes
I just prefer not wasting my time
Im not arguing I wanted to know, which you wouldve known if you read my edit, whether or not the anime changed like half way through or something. I was genuinely curious cuz I heard a lot of good things about it but that doesnt seem to be the case. And if I dont like a show whats the point in finishing it?
where am I arguing? I literally just answered his comment. I wasnt even talking to you
"if that means having to sit through this steaming pile of trash then no thanks" my own ass.
I can understand why people can get bored of it, but even then, I sat down through it and thought it was neat. It's not good compared to After Story, sure, but it's definitely an iconic series that I think, every anime watcher should watch. Both Season 1 and Season 2.
All I can really say that it does get more interesting. Not more better, more interesting. Keep going, and the reward will be worth.
Also your take on the ED of Clannad will cause a mob to come after you and burn down your house daring that you dissed on the Dango Daikazou song.
I literally dont give a shit the song is ass. And Im sorry youre literally the only person who said that itll get more interesting or different Ill just drop it
So in short, you hate sad ED's.
Ok
How did u come to that conclusion? I just dislike this song
Clannad is very terrible and bad, i agree
Ah-hahahahah, finally someone who understands how shit Clannad is.
So I'll say this right away. It doesn't get any more amazing since you have already identified it as shit.
Each episode feels double as long, and it was just so so painful to finish the first season that the the saddest thing was me having to sit through 20+ episodes for the masterpiece acclaimed After Story.
Going into After Story it didn't get any more better (in fact After Story had, to my opinion, the worst arc in all of Clannad [beginning part, not the last one]).I will say, in the benefit of After Story that it had better animation (not art, art was same style), and some part of the last episodes weren't as boring and stale compared to some of the earlier things.
