4/3/2023 0 Comments Clannad movie vs anime![]() Kyoto Animation continues to lead the industry with its gorgeous visuals, and their work has very notably inspired an upward trend in overall quality. Being that it also incorporates a solid and satisfying ending, I can't find any major flukes with its pacing - it sets out to be a fun series with a tinge of drama on the side, and it certainly succeeds.AnimationOf all the sections in this review, this is probably the hardest to write about. The series balances its charming and dramatic airs in a way that, overall, gives it a more lighthearted appeal than its predecessor combined with a general lack of magical surrealism, I think this works wonders if harmonizing all its different elements to work well together. ![]() Its narrower focus along with its heavier romantic undertones give it its own unique flare, which makes it satisfying in its own right. This methodology works a bit better in my opinion, as it allows for stronger bonding between the main characters while still incorporating all the girls and the full side cast to great effect.In this manner, Clannad establishes itself as a worthy successor in Kyoto Animation's line of work, and certainly avoids merely dwelling in Kanon (2006)'s shadow. It still touches upon many of the girls' in a minor context, but ultimately it uses them to direct the central romance as the series' staple point. As soon as Fuko's arc closes, the series spins off in a different overall direction, emphasizing the romantic developments between Okazaki and Nagisa instead of drawing out different dramatic arcs with different girls. This certainly is no detriment, as both arcs prove quite enjoyable, but it inaccurately portrays Clannad as a mere rehashing of the same plot with different characters. Indeed, Fuko's arc bears an enormous number of similarities to Makoto's arc, down to even episode count, and the only real difference comes with its tradeoff of a bit of drama for more humor. At its core Clannad is only superficially a harem, as its touching romance, solid drama, and clean humor all distance it from the genre norm.In many ways, Clannad follows a structure very similar to Kanon (2006), so fans of the its predecessor (myself included) will likely feel right at home in its first episodes. Though their works all retain the basic harem elements of their source material by means of large female casts, the studio has proved, yet again, that a great anime does not need to be guided by them. You will get much more satisfaction if you read the synopsis, trust me.StorySince my first experience with Air some three years ago, I've found myself continually impressed with Kyoto Animation's visual novel adaptations. Tl dr the movie was too awful to describe, filled with cardboard cutout characters. ![]() Literally the only reason I'm giving this movie 2 stars and not its well deserved 1 is because of Kekeru's character growth. How she got TWO guys to fall in love with her is beyond me. I honestly can't stretch enough how infuriating it was for me to watch her break down every time she was embarassed or a little happy. The only real believable character in my opinion was Kekaru because at least he acted rationally and how a human could theoretically act in the given situation, unlike Naho, who cried whenever she was in a slightly inconvenient position. ![]() Naho and Suwa were 2 dimensional because they at least had personalities, they were bad, but still better than nothing I guess. The three background characters were straight up 1 dimensional, because they had no distinct character traits whatsoever. ![]() It was excruciating to watch, because Naho cried in almost every scene for no apparent reason, sometimes she was joined by someone, and if she wasn't crying then there would be an awfully long shot of all 6 of them just smiling, then there would be a shot of every character smiling individually and then there would be another shot of them smiling/crying all together, because apparently those are all the emotions a character can have in that amine. I don't think that I've seen an anime this bad in my life! Like where do I even begin? 95% of the movie was just a recap of what had happened in the orange anime, first five-ish minutes being the fast recap and then like 44 minutes of a long recap with only the last 7 minutes being stuff that was actually new. ![]()
