hm

I just finished Clannad and I don't really know what to think. I guess it was ok, but from all of the reviews I read over the place I thought it would be better :/

Clannad was good until it started becoming serious

clannad lost a lot in the adaptation, read the original visual novel instead if the story and characters
were interesting to you

Shauni, sometimes I wonder why you watch anime... you are so consistently negative that it makes me wonder why you bother.

I watch anime to torture myself, it's like self-flagellation.

Well, people made Clannad sound like some end-all of animes when it is just a really good one, you just have too high an expectation for it probably.

I feel like I should watch After Story before making a judgment...

I really liked Kanon and Air though, just not Clannad... dunno why. Maybe it's because none of the characters really resonated with me at all.

So no fek

I'm the opposite. I haven't watched Air yet, but I definitely prefer Clannad, if you include After Story, to Kanon. Though, you should reserve judgment until after you watch After Story. If we were to exclude After Story, I may prefer Kanon to it, as the ending of Clannad, while sweet, just left me kinda going meh. Clannad isn't complete until you've watched After Story.

Did anyone check out Guin Saga from last season?

Apparently its japans version of lord of the rings.I found it pretty good for an adventure/action/fantasy. The character developement was good, action was nice, good animation and interesting story. Of course its meant for all ages, but I found it pretty girpping throughout the whole thing. Did anyone else like/dislike it?

It is not pedoshit, it is salvation.

On Guin Saga:
My roommate who really enjoys high fantasy watched most of it with me. I forgot why but we kind of stopped following it around episode 20. I thought it was okay, but not amazing. My main peeves were around the world (the anime at least didn't do a good job making it believable. how in tarnation does a medieval nation get that much steel? honestly they'd need an industrial base capable of... well the industrial freaking revolution.) and the character development (to be fair I haven't finished the show but... most of the characters aren't deep or evolving and explanation of motivations for most of them is brief at best.)

Still, Guin's fight scenes were pretty fun to watch, and his whole unite-the-tribes arc was also entertaining.

lol hanamaru youchien isn't sexualized at all. It's comedy, not pedo shit.

Anyway, I finally got around to completing Samurai Champloo. gave it an 8/10, would have been a 9 if it weren't for the 5 or so boring episodes. The series dragged on just a bit too long imo, 18 or so episodes would have been perfect.

I am currently watching After Story

maybe I will like it more!

It's not like I think Clannad just sucked, but it didn't live up to the hype from all of the reviews I read imo

Currently watching the Tales of the Abyss anime. I loved the game and have completed it 3 times, so this is great. Much better than the shitty Tales of Symphonia OVA.

I'm undecided as to what to watch next. I guess Paranoia Agent or .hack//sign

I saw Clannad shortly after it finished airing, before After Story was out. I'm going to start After Story soon. Considering all the praise I've seen, I hope not to be disappointed.

(Like FragKrag, I thought the first anime was decent not stellar.)
