Ok,first of all,i must say that do not be fooled by the outside and if you are looking for romantic harem you maybe disappointed because this anime talks a lot about life's meanings but do not be scared by the "life meaning" as they are not conveyed using a boring method but rather very touching which It will be explained in the next paragraph.

The way author conveys those meanings is very skillfully because the author make use of each girl'story to convey and every story will let you feel very touched.I felt that this is a strong point for this anime.The second strong point is the overall story I suppose,you will not know what I meant by overall story until you watch the clannad after story.Although it get a bit too complicated but i felt that this is a good point.Third point is that the story will let you feel WoW,for example kotomi'story,how the briefcase got to kotomi and tomoya's father story,i do not know how to say this maybe i should say "nobility"?

Although it story is the strongest point but not to forget entertainment.Most of the entertainment occurs in the clannad and not after story.Well,because most of the entertainment come from Youhei Sunohara,very nice dialogue,really funny.The jokes got some stupidity in them,which is the essence of the jokes.Some other good jokes such as what tomoya did to get the gym's door open.

If you ask me about whether this anime got any disappointed part? i would say they are minor parts.One of the part is that i found the character drawing a bit "tamed"Their drawings are different from each other but seems rather similar to certain extent but it this anime is drew beautifully.

In conclusion,It has great touching stories and complex overall story.Good entertainment,dialogue and animation and the author utilized every characters fully some are given totally unexpected role,for example,the cat ;),the author also do not forget the characters in the after story but of course they are given a backseat. It is A DEFINITELY a must watch anime with a happiest ending but do be prepared to scratch your head after you watch finish the last episode in after story.One final word,In my opinion,this seems to be a preparation for clannad after story,so make sure you watch both =).
