The Clannad Blu-ray Review Is Now Available
The Clannad Blu-ray review is now available in the reviews section and here.

I ended up discarding it as a series that creates unnatural situations for the sole sake of squeezing an emotional response from us. I was wrong. Three years later, and after experiencing a bit of personal grief myself, Clannad rings true to me more than any other drama series.
Here’s an interesting trivia fact for you: Clannad and Toradora coexists in the same world. In one scene the Toradora crew is seen passing alongside the Furukawa bakery. How awesome is that!
