Version of "Clannad" (2007)

despite what most people say, I found it really good

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

Despite what most people say, I found the clannad movie really good.

The first half was rather boring (if you have seen the series) maybe if you haven't you might enjoy it. This first part is an alternative retelling of how nagisa and Tomoya meet and how they re-open the theater club. They show what I found as a darker side of Tomoya, or at least a less caring one. Also, most of the series characters play a very minor part and most of the don't even appear. This is what I found as the major flaw of the movie.. and I think its a really big flaw!!

The second part however ... well I cant really tell you much without a bit of spoilers...

-SPOILER- This second part is basically an after story of what happens when they graduate. basically Nagisa and Tomoya rent an apartment and move together. They all get jobs, nagisa gets pregnant and........ well I don't want to spoil it any more than I already did. - END OF SPOILER-

I actually found this second part really really good!! If you have seen the series you will probably enjoy it a lot... however... don't expect it to be so light hearted...Just be prepared... Well, most people say its bad. I personally enjoyed it, and recommend it to everyone who have seen clannad... even if you might find the first part less boring if you haven't.. I guarantee you will find the second part much much better If you have seen the series and are somehow attached to the characters.
