It wasn’t as catchy but it still worked for its purpose.
#Did the clannad movie come before the series tv
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. So I decided to hit up Clannad again, this time as a movie.
