You'd be in the minority for sure, while Kanon has good characters as well, it is just too much of a raw emotional binge for me. Clannad just has stronger themes for you to think about than Kanon.

That's why Little Busters is so good for me, need Rin to be animated.

Compared to After Story, maybe, but it's still pretty emotional if you care about the characters. Then of course there's things like After Story Episode 18, which is...intense, to say the least.

Ugh, Fall 2009 anime looks pretty boring. Probably going to watch Darker than Black... I might watch Three Kingdoms to see how closely it follows the book, but that's about all.

Honestly, I can agree with this. + Show Spoiler +
Fuko's arc was super super sad, and from then on, I honestly wasn't as touched by anything in the entire series. I think I got hit too hard by that first bit. As a series, I liked Kanon more - for any single moment, Fuko's arc was just too much haha. I personally didn't like After Story as much as Clannad either... maybe I should rewatch it and I'd think differently ._. Watching it weekly might have lost some (a lot) of the impact.

If we're talking about sheer quality though, Clannad is still a masterpiece, I just don't think it was as heartbreaking post Fuko as everyone else does :x

High 9/10. Clannad is an exceptional series. (Kanon is simply more exceptional)

Which book? The novel or the historical ones? Honestly all that stuff with Liu Bei was getting on my nerves, so Souten Kouro was a good break, screw that sissy Liu Bei anyway. I'd bother with DtB if they didn't start with that whole schoolgirl stuff, now I got the image of a mahou shoujo anime gone wrong in my head that refuses to leave. More Hei and Yin please ><

That apart, CLAMP shouldn't disappoint, besides, we have Railgun, which will have awesome since by default Misaka is better than everyone else until Itsuwa, who won't show up till like season 3 at the pace they are going (there is imouto too, but she is Misaka anyway), so anything focusing on her is automatically excellent. They should just recast Index as a walking food commentator (why not, perfect recall), that ought to make her a better character :p

EDIT - What's with people getting hit by Fuuko's arc? Could be just me, but Fuuko is too much of a comical character for her arc to be anything else other than "lol, there she is again". Afterstory was infinitely more depressing than Fuuko's story in the finality of the events there + Show Spoiler +
barring the miracles


To me, the Key games have been steadily going down in terms of how depressing and emotional they are. Well, LB is kind of hitting that back up (probably just a personal thing with some of the themes of the routes) and Rewrite can be a game solely about making you feel miserable, maybe.

EDIT 2 - oh gosh Bakemonogatari so good. Been waiting for this episode forever.

I did enjoy watching Kanon but Clannad is generally much better. Maybe because it's longer, I feel mroe attachment to the characters. + Show Spoiler +
I would've found Fuko's arc more sad if I didn't hate her.

To each his own... I find Clannad better than Kanon in terms of emotional impact and also thematically. Then again, it's hard to go wrong with Clannad's themes.

And I don't think that Fuuko's arc was all that sad comparing it to the rest of the series. Although, + Show Spoiler +
that may in part have been caused by After Story.
It is impossible to be a citizen if you don't make an effort to understand the most basic activities of your government. It is very difficult to thrive in an increasingly competitive world if you're a nation of doods.

If you liked Clannad you'll enjoy Kanon. They are very similar in formula.
Kanon is just a nice watch. A slew of very likable characters again with their own little stories. I enjoyed both immensely. Probably my top 2 animes.
Social Justice is a fools errand. May all the adherents at its church be thwarted. Of all the religions I have come across, it is by far the most detestable.

Kanon is an anime adaptation of a visual novel also made by Key. The anime is also made by KyoAni. If you like Clannad, Kanon is a must watch.

Personally I think it is more the other way around, if you like Kanon, Clannad is a much watch. If you just like Clannad the pure emotional binge aspect of Kanon can feel excessive and turn you off, though that's just my opinion on the matter.

Just to make sure to get the KyoAni Kanon, the Toei one isn't really worth your time

wolf's rain made me want to hammer rusty nails into my eye sockets. starts interesting but rapidly falls into a downward spiral into idiocy. i made the mistake of giving it a chance and continuing to watch it as it got worse and worse
better than serial experiments lain though, but thats not saying much

(i realize i probably offended everyone in this thread, but SE lain and wolf's rain are the two most unspeakably awful series that everyone loves and i can't understand why)


Ohohoho stop trolling you Australian. Lain is one of the very few masterpieces regarding anime.

But does this mean if I like Lain I'll also enjoy Wolf's Rain? I'll give it a chance then.

didnt think of it that way, but yeah you probably would

Can I get some recommendations on animated movies? They're easier to download and higher quality I'm mainly looking for action (read: samurai swords)/fantasy but I'll stay open to others.

I remember I was going to download a piece that goes along the lines of 'X millimeters per hour?' but I forgot. I need some help on that too.

Kara no Kyoukai and Sword of the Stranger you what you are looking for. In terms of other good things, try 5cm and Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo. If people could find Summer Wars I'd recommend that too based on how good the manga seems to me.
