Clannad: Collection 2 [DVD]

I saw it with my youngest daughter one day. And to be totally honest with you, I fell in love with the one of the main character Tomoya until I saw his best friend,Sunohara. I was was satisfied with Tomoya using Sunohara in his cruel pranks. But, then there are these beautiful girls, not in looks although, they are pretty as well. Then, the story unfolds into a tear jerker at times and a gut buster on the others. You start to find that these people, high schoolers are dealing with some mature issues that some adult wouldn't be able to deal with. There is a moral like storyline and inner strength that pours out of each like Tomoya encounters including himself. I laughed until I cried and I cried through my smiles. Now, for the information that is needed to watch tis show. It is in Japanese with subtitles. The music is sweet also bubblegum pop and in Japanese. This credits are in Japanese and English. And no, you can't change it to English and there is no dubbed version. There are 24 episodes and 6 episodes per dvd. I am shocked to be able to buy it in its original format. So, if you love animes in their original language. If you love a story of love and hope.You may even learn something about yourself through these group of high school students. This video is for you. I love watching online and then I bought it.

Neither of them had English dialogue, which is only a bummer because I wished to introduce this to someone that refuses to read text while watching a show. Still, i certainly enjoyed watching the series again. MUCH better than the bootleg copy I had accidentally bought elsewhere (Translations so bad, it reduced the show to being nearly unwatchable.) I will be the first to admit I am not yet Otaku enough to know Japanese, so the accurate subtitles were very nice. This show pulls the tears out of me every time.

This series is okay. It in not one I would watch more than once. Truthfully, it completely lost me when the ghost showed up. Then, it just became stupid.

I collect anime and Clannad is in my top 5. It has a great story which is why I gave it 5 stars. I would highly recommend Clannad and Clannad After Story.

The second half of Clannad was really good! I especially liked that the Tomoyo Arc extra episode was included. A definate winner for any fan of the high school romance genre of anime.

Love it love the anime love fuko love the story love love love love love love love love love clannad

Straight to the garbage...no English selection

If you're looking for a show jam-packed with perv humor, you'll have to look elsewhere. It took less than 30 seconds into the first episode for me to realize that I had found something fantastic. Deeply-developed characters, moving stories, wonderful acting, and great animation come together to bring Clannad to life. Clannad: Collection 2 wraps up the first season, so keep in mind that the story is much bigger than what we have available stateside (at the time of this writing). With any luck, the second season, which is known as Clannad: After Story, will be coming our way soon. The kicker that nearly floored me is the fact that this series is based directly of a GAME of the same name. Referred to as a visual novel in Japan, the text-heavy game is an interesting blend of colorful images, music, voice audio, and text, requiring the player to occasionally make choices to steer the story. The anime Kanon is based off a visual novel game, as well. Back to the item at hand: Clannad: Collection 2 is a great value considering that 30 bucks would only get you six episodes where Clannad gets you 12. The key downside is that the voice audio is Japanese only. This doesn't bother me, considering that most dubbing I've encountered was obviously rushed, coming out stilted and crude. I'm happy to get twelve episodes for the price of six, doing without the dubbing.
