(Which means she doesn't end her sentences with cutesy suffixes like "gao" or "ugu".) Mai Nakahara does a good job of making her sound cute without being cutesy, and it makes the rare scene where Nagisa shows a slightly more mischievous side to her character that much more amusing. Though Nagisa is more than just a little bit clingy, shy, and introverted, she's generally a likable heroine who actually looks and acts like a girl her age would. Whereas Air and Kanon felt like separate stories with a theme that loosely tied the cast together, Clannad has no such disjointed feeling, and is part of the reason that I think this is (arguably) the best written of the three Key animated adaptions by Kyoto Animation to date.Įven the main heroine is more fleshed out than the typical Key heroine.
#CLANNAD GAME REVIEW SERIES#
The third Key / Visual Art's animated project from Kyoto Animation, Clannad mostly discards the magical aspects of Kanon and Air for a more down to Earth story about a boy, a girl, and the numerous people they encounter in both school and outside of it.Īt the same time, it's also about family, as every character's arc in this series revolves around their family members in some form (and even some of the side characters do as well). Over time she opens up to Tomoya and finds herself spending more time with him, changing him in the process. Out for a year due to being sick, she feels awkward and alone at school as her friends have since moved on. One morning on his way to school he meets a girl named Nagisa Furukawa. Tomoya Okazaki is a third-year high school student who doesn't like school and lives with his father (whom he fights with often, and is responsible for paralyzing once of his arms). The original R1 DVD release of the series does not contain and English dub, though Sentai Filmworks later offered purchasers the option of a version with an English dub. It does not take into account episode 24 (Tomoyo Chapter), which will be reviewed separately in the future. The episode number takes into account the DVD-only episode 23.

#CLANNAD GAME REVIEW LICENSE#
They're looking for $140,000 to cover license fees, translation, and a cast of voice actors including some from Clannad's later anime series. The Kickstarter's masterminded by Sekai Project, the folks who've already brought over several other visual novels. With memorable characters and a sentimental story, Clannad will tug at the heart strings of readers and further draw them into the world of VisualArt's famous title. A chance meeting with a female classmate, Nagisa Furukawa, and other fellow students begins to change both him and the people around him. Knowing nothing about it - I initially thought the mob's baying cries were about, you know, Clannad - I shall defer to this official description:Ĭlannad tells the story of Tomoya Okazaki, a third-year student who doesn't take life seriously and listlessly waits for something to break out of his monotonous life. The Kickstarter launched yesterday, and the mob have already pledged over $125,000 towards its $140,000 goal. So I'm sure that it's perfectly fine for me to trust in the mob jumping up and down and giggling about Clannad, a Japanese visual novel I understand is of some repute, getting a crowdfunded official English translation and release. You trust your friendly neighbourhood mob, don't you? When has a mob ever steered anyone wrong? Probably never.
