I'd love that, but it is what it is.
Still best anime.

I don't personally think something that looks bad can be the best in a visual medium, but to each their own

Clannad AS suffered from having to watch through Clannad and the first half of Clannad AS.

I think Clannad's character design is just as bad as LoGH, yet you people seem to have enjoyed that a ton.
Mysterious world we live in.
I usually don't watch stuff I don't like character designs in, but clannad was an exception for some reason or other, and I'm very glad it was.

Honestly, I watched afterstory before I watched season 1 for some reason I don't even remember anymore, and I think it's the reason why I could enjoy S1 aswell. And why S2's first half was actually needed - to get to know the characters and whatnot.
I don't believe you.

Realistically proportioned and highly varied human character designs vs prime example of generic copy paste bug-eyes of 2000s weeb shit. You know, if you think those two are equally bad then i will have to say that your taste in character design is questionable.

Clannad characters don't even look remotely human in their facial proportions.
Edit: And it's not because i'm not okay with characters not looking perfectly realistically human, it's just that clannad's design is so deeply into the uncanny valley that it's disturbing.

Hate to say it but unleashing is totally correct here. LoGH's character design largely trumps Clannad's design. While the story was ok, I don't see why they had to go with such bad character designs. Silly if you ask me ~

I didn't mind Clannad's character design but calling LoGH's character design bad is pretty questionable indeed. They are obviously of far higher artistic caliber than Clannad's. Or are you talking about the new character designs?

Abuse - can you give your thoughts on what made it one of your top animes. Just want some insight on why it was so great for you.

Made in Abyss is really good.

For some reason I thought it was only going to be one season and the story would be all wrapped, but when I started getting closer to the end I realized this wouldn't be the case, and I'm glad it isn't.

Key-art is something you get used to, but only once you have truly lost your mind would claim its good. Key's actual good stuff like Little Busters or Rewrite is good despite the bug-eyed weirdo character design. At this point I feel its just something they do for something like branding, IDK.

I'm just saying they look the same to me quality-wise personally. You're free to disagree.
You don't have to try to persuade me that Clannad designs are terrible, Unleashed, I'm not questioning it in the least.
But also, character designs is the only reason why I haven't watched LoGH.
I can't look at old anime character designs.
Honestly, I probably wouldn't start watching any anime looking like Clannad these days, but Clannad was #2 or #3 in MAL when I watched it, and it intrigued me, so I stuck with it, and fuck am I glad I did.

as for why is Clannad AS is so great for me and many many many others, I can't really say anything without massive spoilers.
Honestly, in my eyes anyone who has finished Clannad AS and thinks it is shit cannot be trusted with any opinions at all about anything and should probably be institutionalized or something.

If you haven't watched Clannad AS, then the thing you should be asking yourself is, how come an anime that has character designs as terrible as that has 49.5% people who watched it, give it a 10/10.
I don't believe you.

I'm pretty sure most of us here know about AS, so just put that stuff in a spoiler tag and no one will mind.

I can't wrap my head around the idea that old anime character design looks bad. This is bringing back memories of Emnjay

Sailor moon designs are old too.
Think of that and I'm sure you'll understand.

as for AS spoilers, I'm not going to do that, in the chance that someone here, like azn, has not watched it yet, and AS spoilers will completely ruin the show for anyone who hasn't watched it.
If you want to know why AS is that good, then just watch it.
Basically everything after episode 11(if I recall correctly) is worth your while.

Weren't you just saying like 2 or 3 pages ago that you can't trust metrics from MAL?

weren't you all saying that you can? So what's wrong with me using a metric that you people agree with.
Also this metric isn't exactly the same thing.
Ratings of people who finished the show, and "popularity"as in what people put in any of their lists or not is not the same thing.
I don't believe you.

You know you can use spoiler tags to tell us why you think it's the greatest? The only good thing it had for it was that it showed the struggles that were faced by the characters and + Show Spoiler +
then we got that magic at the end that reversed everything
. Good? Sure, but the best? Toradora kicks its ass many times over XD

Also, that bolded statement is extremely silly since everyone is entitled to their opinion. Like so: Clannad AS isn't some special snowflake anime that only the greatest minds realize its genius. Heck, I would even put White Album 2 above it and a host of other anime too.

I'm so confused. Are you saying the character designs weren't bad because people loved the show?

We were saying MAL is a decent metric for things like viewership, not for quality of a show. We've had this discussion so many times.

I don't know why people limit what they can watch to a narrow band of modern shows discarding all the amazing content that has been produced over the decades. Their loss I guess.

edit: Some pretty strong words for someone who just admitted their can't watch amazingly well done older shows just because they don't like the style.......
