It expects us to have genuine emotional reactions to the 'blossoming relationships' between our bland protagonist and these excuses for characters.
It expects us to care about these infantile, one-dimensional characters. This show expects us to believe that teenage girls act like five-year-olds. Unfortunately for this show, this means that it ends up being utterly contrived, unrealistic, and outright stupid. Here's the central problem with Clannad: it wants to tug your heartstrings, so it doesn't think about anything else. As he attempts to help each girl overcome her respective obstacle, he begins to realize life isn't as dull as he once thought. Claiming he has nothing better to do, he decides to help her achieve this goal along with the help of four other girls.Īs Tomoya spends more time with the girls, he learns more about them and their problems. Tomoya learns Nagisa has been held back a year due to a severe illness and that her dream is to revive the school's drama club. Eventually he concedes and befriends her. However, Tomoya finds he is noticing Nagisa more and more around school. Nagisa claims they are now friends, but Tomoya walks away passing the encounter off as nothing. He soon discovers the girl's name is Nagisa Furukawa and that she exclaims things she likes in order to motivate herself. Without warning she exclaims "Anpan!" (a popular Japanese food) which catches Tomoya's attention. One day while walking to school, Tomoya passes a young girl muttering quietly to herself. Along with his friend Youhei Sunohara, he skips school and plans to waste his high school days away. Tomoya Okazaki is a delinquent who finds life dull and believes he'll never amount to anything.
