Fuko is probably the type most expounded upon through repeated motifs and character quirks such as: her affinity to starfish, her later use of the third person, and here state of being “lost in the sauce” as I like to call it. Given that it is based off a visual novel a format that has to give you a quick understanding of what “type” of character you’re meeting so you know if you’d like to continue down that pathway I’m fine with how most of the characters are hyper-characterized. By framing Nagisa as this angelic figure in the night do we get a misdirection that while initially might have us believe her to be the ghost girl ends with us questioning who else isn’t what they appear to be or how much of this world is constructed by the P.O.V of Okazaki. Interludes of the “other world” doesn’t seem as jarring when we are essentially trying to aid a ghost girl. Clannad actually does a good job easing the audience into the realm of fantasy with this arc. I’m not bothered by the shows lacking sense of realism “ no one in high school would act that immature” you’re right but I’ve never met a guy named Edward who had Scissor-hands. I actually found Fuko to be one of the better characters of the show and her arc to also be a fun introduction to the show.

SPOILERS are ahead, I expect if you want to breakdown and discuss the various segments of the series you have seen the series… here we go. So hopefully if you haven’t while I am more critical to the series than your average Clannad fan, I do think it is worth a watch and for those who have watched it let’s talk about how I rank each section of the show and sort of look about what works and doesn’t throughout various aspects of the show. Clannad should be considered an “Anthology of Misery” it is more this series of exploring various forms of personal baggage and trauma and overcoming them than how you’d expect a typical series to progress. When writing reviews, I like to think of what is the best way to sell this show, how do I use my experience to give a general idea of what I got out of it. Here’s what I think it boils down to, Clannad is excellent at executing ideas but fails at developing them into a series. When I reflect upon the series I consider it to have quite a few short comings that culminate into something that is both frustrating and underwhelming… but at the same time watching it is mesmeric, powerful, and in some regards I consider elements of the writing to be as good as gets and seeing the deliverance in score, animation, and voice acting it’s just wow, wow, wow. If I had to describe my personal thoughts on Clannad and Clannad: After Story in one word it would be – conflicted. I’m just going to rip the band-aid of so you can have a better idea of where I’m coming from when addressing the series. Clannad is the story of Tomoya Okazaki whose disdain for life is challenged by a chance encounter with Nagisa Furukawa which eventually turns into series of efforts to revitalize the school’s drama club and life lessons in what’s truly valuable in various aspects of life.
I’m not quite sure what Clannad translate to, but I’m pretty sure it’s “shoot the puppy” and oh boy does it like to “shoot the puppy”. So, I didn’t want to jump into something so similar right away, but I was curious about what all the fuss was about and that brings us here, let’s talk about Clannad. I heard from other reviews and opinions on the show that: “it’s no Clannad“, “ Clannad is better”. So a while back I reviewed a series called Toradora, a cute little rom-com. The concept of rose-colored nostalgia googles tells me that this might not be a great idea but if you give me enough slack to approach with honesty you might not find me to be all that hostile. “It is sadder to find the past again and find it inadequate to the present than it is to have it elude you and remain forever a harmonious conception of memory.” – F.
