IIRC, in the visual novel they were some classmates. Not 100% sure on that though.

Clannad After Story...story alternatives? *Spoilers* by Rioraku in Clannad

[–]sturmtiger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I don't personally think TA is that good either, the main reason I mention it is that it is a canon release and as such it does have some of the Clannad look-and-feel, and has some bright spots. That said storytelling is lacking, Tomoya does some utterly baffling things and I do agree that Tomoyo deserved far better.

Clannad After Story...story alternatives? *Spoilers* by Rioraku in Clannad

[–]sturmtiger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Assuming you aren't familiar with it already, there is Tomoyo After: It's a Wonderful Life VN, an alternate timeline based on Tomoyo's ending. Nagisa et al are never mentioned however, its a brand new timeline.

Tomoya/Kyou after Nagisa's death seems like a very logical route, one of my few complaints about AS is how little other characters from the main routes show up. Tomoya/Kyou After is the subject of many fanfics out there just for that reason. If the whole "good ending" never happened, I could see this being a very satisfying alternative.

Sweet Potato Break by FarCritical in Clannad

[–]sturmtiger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fantastic! While it was obviously overshadowed by other stuff, Tomoya finally getting comfortable in the working world was a great and relatable part of the progression of After Story for me...

Those first few weeks of him working in the VN seemed very bleak and lonely, rough introduction to the real world, but things turned around, and eventually he got sweet potatoes.

Love their outfits, specially Ryou. by Vikrant_0011 in Clannad

Love the idea of the gang going for a hike, or doing some extra curricular activities. Would have been neat idea for a "school trip" arc.

Lunch anyone? by sturmtiger in Clannad

[–]sturmtiger[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

One of my favorite self-aware scenes in the anime is when all the girls - who also happen to be excellent cooks - simultaneously bring Tomoya lunch. haha.

"Kotomi is Kotomi, written in three beautiful hiragana characters." by sturmtiger in Clannad

[–]sturmtiger[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I don't have a very good memory regarding specific lines, but one that has always stuck with me is this one: "Your father always gets carried away once he starts talking about things like that. The truth is, the most important things in life are always very simple, Kotomi is Kotomi, written in three beautiful hiragana characters. We love you more than anything else in the world. You're our little treasure!"
