Clannad (visual novel)
For the anime television adaptation, the first season of "Clannad" received reviews ranging from positive to mixed, while the second season "Clannad After Story" received wide critical acclaim. The THEM Anime Reviews website gave the entire series a score of 4 out of 5 stars, with reviewer Tim Jones describing the first season as "the most fleshed-out and real Key animated adaption to date," and reviewer Stig Høgset stating that the second season "After Story" "will play up the tragedies and the drama considerably, quite possibly tearing out your heart in the process.
