They've shown already that they have a massive respect for Key's stories and the way they handle them is outstanding.

Without knowing much about the CLANNAD story, I'd guess they'd do a similar thing with that, but my early guess is that it's going to be underwhelming compared with the source material.Īnd it seems I'm not the only one who would love to see KyoAni do a full length TV series with the CLANNAD story.

Sure, the AIR movie was acceptable, since it was more an adaptation than a direct retelling, but it was nothing compared with the TV series. There have just been too many examples in anime history of lengthy complex stories losing all that makes them meaningful and interesting when they're squeezed into a two hour movie. Sign me up as another person who doesn't see this working. (then again, the guy is like 54 years old. Dezaki-san is one of the most experienced anime directors out there, and I'm sure his experience with AIR movie will help with CLANNAD as well. Then again, maybe I'm just worrying too much. If possible, I want to see a movie that can maintain the "serious but gut-wrenching funny at times" atmosphere that the game managed to achieve. Anyone who played CLANNAD (or any Key game, for that matter) will tell you that it is a game that's as funny as it is touching (I think game fans will agree that CLANNAD wouldn't be CLANNAD without Sunohara or Akio's gut-bustingly funny antics). We're talking about a story that progresses through several eras in the characters' lives, after all.Īnother concern I have, though less important, is the atmosphere the movie will end up providing. Besides, most other heroines' routes weren't all that significant compared to Nagisa's epic main route anyway (save Fuuko's, I cried so damn hard during her ending ).īy barebones I meant the movie having so little room to wiggle, they wouldn't have time to portray anything from Nagisa's story except the bare minimum that's required for the story to make sense.
To begin with, that would be impossible to do even if we split the movie into several installments. Oh, no, I wasn't suggesting in any way that they should try to capture the other girls' routes. Sure, the others can have small parts, but spreading itself too thin would be far worse than just focusing on one single plot thread. It'll be a total mess if they try to focus on more than one of the ladies. I still believe that they should go with maximum wow factor the first time round with a 24-26 ep series done by KyoAni when they have time, rather than diving into a truncated feature film version like this.įear? That's what I'm hoping for. You're not the first to mention it either, because I already came to the same conclusion some time ago during discussions in an IRC channel I idle in. CLANNAD is longer than both Kanon and AIR combined for a reason, after all. I'm still very much looking forward to the movie, although I fear it would be nothing but a barebone version of Nagisa's story, simply because of CLANNAD's sheer size and length. That would be giving Toei too little credit.
Still, that doesn't mean the CLANNAD movie will be a flop. But I think all Key fans will agree by now that we expect no less than Kyoani when it comes to a CLANNAD anime adaptation. With Kyoani's current busy schedule though, nobody knows when it'll come. With a Toei CLANNAD movie due out this year, it would almost be natural to expect a Kyoani CLANNAD TV animation to follow after that. Toei has already worked on Kanon (TV anime) and AIR (movie), with Kyoto Animation coming into the scene later each time with something that completely shadows Toei's version of the adaptations. Like I mentioned elsewhere when Toei announced the CLANNAD movie adaptation last year, there's a pattern to this thing. Though to be fair it's not like Toei are the same as they were in 2002, so they may yet surprise after their version of Kanon, I'm not really holding out that much hope for this film. And while I've got nothing personal against Toei. And they go and make it a film rather than a series.
