Question about Clannad: After Story.

• Chockeh wrote on 2010-05-26 23:02
  So I'm almost done watching Clannad.
  When I watch season 2, should I see the OVA's first? Or the anime? Because I hate it whenever I watch the OVA, the events happens before the ending of the anime.

  There are no OVA's, there are 2 side specials though. They're basically short episodes on what would have happened if Okazaki chose Kyou and the other one is if Okazaki chose Tomoyo. I've only seen the Tomoyo one but they're not required to be watch after the series. They hold no relation towards the main story line of Okazai and Nagisa.

  Alternatively, you can torrent the game and find a translation for it.

  Isn't it an adult graphic novel?
  
  @Chock Just go and watch After Story right after the original because it picks up where it left off.

  Nope, Clannad isn't an eroge. Kanon and Air were, but Clannad was just a romantic visual novel of the school-life genre.

  Yar, the OVA's are essentially alternate reality "what if"s and are not situated anywhere chronologically in the main plotline. Just start watching After Story after you finish the first season.
  
  However...

  This. Go play the game. Far superior IMO, cause you're not stuck with FREAKING NAGISA FOREVER AUGHAASIERAWRNS. <3 Tomoyo.

  Or I can do both, skipping alternate endings because it would ruin it for me.
  I'm gonna start with Genius girl or something, if I ever download it.

  Just so you know... don't cry if you spend more than 3 hours trying to get her path and not get it o.e;; I spent 4 hours trying to get Kyou's path and ended up google-ing a walkthrough. Even with the walkthrough, I actually failed on getting Kotomi's (the genius girl) path for the first time, since my translator failed me (yep, Atlas... and yes... the walkthrough was in Japanese)
  So you might wanna use a walkthrough there; lemme know if you need help.
  
  Also, I agree that you should watch the OVA AFTER you finish After Story--
  Although you probably watched the Tomoyo-path, right? It's part of the first season anyways
  
  To be perfectly honest, I like the game better for its plot, but I like the anime better for its artwork and character design.
  
  Clannad, in general, was :thumb:
  
  Ah also... have some tissues ready when you're watching the middle to end of the second season...

  Gratz~~ Enjoy ^.^
  Lemme know if you need any help, including the walkthrough =P
  
  OMG SPOILER BELOW!!!
  In the game itself, watch as you "get good endings and ball of light", the balls of light appear in the main screen, on the grass; bottom left of your screen. Note that you'll need 8 balls of light to unlock After Story. The balls of light is very small and hard to spot; it is represented by white dots bigger than the 'sparkles'.
