Even after watching 1st part, I was somehow unable to connect with after story... I felt the first half of this season was boring with common life details and side stories of secondary characters whom I wasn't interested to know more.

Since I heard clannad was really sad, I was somehow expecting the events of the second half and I thought "well tomoya, your time has come to understand your father", however, I was expecting some real-life ending and not the typical "back in time" where everything gets sorted and everyone is happy... that's the main reason I don't rate this higher as there are already a lot of series (and Disney stuff) which always end things in a happy note where all dreams come true, which (sadly) can't always be the case.
