Words cannot describe what this game means to me. I cried a lot. I think about it all the time.

Jun maeda and the word good do not belong together

Muito bom, uma carta de amor para fãs de visual novel

Probably one of my top VNs, my only complaint is the length it takes to get the true route, sosa sad


The “I'm Not Crying, There's Something In My Eye” Award is perfect for this game.

As someone who really likes the anime, it wasn’t a surprise that I really liked this. The characters are the star of the show and each one gets their time in the spotlight. Sunohara and Tomoya’s friendship is one of my favorites interactions.

Kyou and Tomoyo are the best girls but all of them are great. Lots of heart and a good story!

Did not finish after story, watched AS anime instead.

The anime is better but being the original source of a 10/10 adaptation it's still obviously really fucking good. It helps that it has some content that the anime didn't touch, some of which is pretty good.

Amazing music, the SoL is probably one of my favourites in VNs as a whole and Tomoya is literally peak protagonist. Very well done emotional moments in general.

Obviously though the main highlight is After Story and is the main reason people love this one and well, yeah it is a sight to behold and absolutely deserves its reputation.

If you can accept the giant eyed anime style, you will not be disappointed. Clannad is a amazing game that tells a unforgettable story. Words can’t describe how this game will make you feel.

it's got the blandest main heroine ever, but the OST and certain routes make up for having to stay by bug-girl's side for 30+ hours.

worst route: tomoyo + ryou
best route: kotomi. fuko's if there was just a little more relationship building between her and tomoya that wasn't just jokes.

Such a good game. Slow at parts but this is a masterpiece. Nagisa's, Fuko's, and Tomoyo's route are so good.

yeah pretty ass clannad is not good

Clannad, one of the most important things I've ever seen in my life, if I were to define the word "Clannad", I would say it's something to take in your heart forever.

Everything about this game makes it special, every moment in it was thought of in detail by detail, you'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll remember and you'll use it in your everyday life.
Clannad for me was a teaching of how important your family is, and I had never even thought about this subject, today I have a very good life because of that, I still intend to improve every day.

I can't recommend this (and its anime) enough. Whether you're a fan of anime/vns or not, this is a beautiful experience.

If you're ready to be emotional this is the visual novel for you. Clannad has a great story.

One word is all need to describe my experience with it

Afterstory ( cried like a bitch )

really liked the first season of clannad so i bought the game :^) now she sits politely on my steam deck and now every day i have to look at her and start sobbing so hard that i puke everywhere

for real, i do love it when shit is just way way too overindulgently bittersweet and Sad for it's own good. see also: higurashi answer arcs, damian ojeda's music, the end of end of eva. shit that'll wring you out completely and cry with you the whole way. i do wish there was more stuff out there willing to hit those notes; consider me in on key from here out

I cried alot.... plz clannad stop.... I DONT LIKE SHOUJOS BUT THIS CHANGED MEEEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEM STOPPPPPPPPPPPP

There's so much fluff here it isn't even funny. Completely killed my interest in actually finishing the game when it takes far, far longer with such little narrative progression for the time spent.

i like the anime better but i still love this story to death

My favorite Visual Novel of All Time. A story that's well expressed through its dialogue and choices, both a very humorous and emotional game with a lot of heart and soul poured into it. It has an amazing soundtrack, probably the second best soundtrack I've ever heard in my life, and while a lot of the characters fall into a lot of tropes and cliches, they are still very well realized and fleshed out. Don't judge this game by its cover, and do not let anyone tell you this is not worth it, because it 100% is. Also remember to 100% this game to get the best experience ever.

I really do not know how to rate this, on one hand it has some of the most ew looking artwork I've seen and a majorly boring story at the start, but in the other, late into the VN, it has some of the saddest shit I've seen.
Imma go middle of the road with this one.


I know that some hardcore fans are going to hate me for this but the anime is 100% a better version of the vn

enjoying it a lot but i have GOT to keep it rolling. rly wanna pick it back up though...

Clannad is an amazing visual novel. After already loving the anime adaption, I finally also played the VN, and it was a great experience, which made me very emotional again.
I defienetly can recommend Clannad, both the anime and VN are fantastic.
