Clannad: Mou Hitotsu no Sekai, Tomoyo-hen

Clannad: Mou Hitotsu no Sekai, Tomoyo-hen is set in an alternate reality where Tomoya Okazaki dates his junior, Tomoyo Sakagami.

Tomoyo has been elected to be the school's next Student Council President. This is great news as she can now work toward her goal of preventing the school's cherry blossom trees from being axed. Although Tomoya is ecstatic for her, given his reputation as a delinquent in school, his relationship with Tomoyo is making them the subject of gossip around the campus, which can potentially compromise her standing as Student Council President. The school community's disapproval of their relationship becomes more apparent when the Student Council's Vice-President and even the school's administration warn Tomoya to distance himself from Tomoyo.

With the bad atmosphere widening the rift between Tomoya and Tomoyo, will Tomoya succumb to societal pressure and do as they say, or will their love for each other rise above it all?

Well hello there, fellow anime enthusiasts! Today, I bring to you my review of Clannad: Mou Hitotsu no Sekai, Tomoyo-hen. And let me tell you, it's a wild ride that's worth the watch.

Let's start with the story. It's engaging, heartwarming, and a bit of tear-jerker. The character arcs are well-developed, and the pacing is just right. It's not too slow, nor too fast. It's like the Goldilocks of anime storylines.

Now, let's talk about the three main characters. Tomoyo, Tomoya, and the dango. Yes, you read that right. The dango is a main character in my book. Anyway, Tomoyo is a ... total badass, Tomoya is a relatable protagonist, and the dango... well, the dango is just adorable. These three characters have fantastic chemistry, and their interactions are a joy to watch.

Overall, It's heartwarming, funny, and will tug at your heartstrings in all the right ways. I highly recommend giving it a watch. And with that, I give this anime an 8.4/10. It's not perfect, but it's pretty darn close. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a dango to go hug.

Halo, para penggemar anime! Hari ini, saya ingin memberikan review saya tentang Clannad: Mou Hitotsu no Sekai, Tomoyo-hen. Dan biarkan saya katakan, ini adalah perjalanan yang liar yang patut ditonton.

Mari kita mulai dengan ceritanya. Menarik, menyentuh hati, dan sedikit bikin nangis. Karakter-karakternya dikembangkan dengan baik, dan tempo ceritanya pas. Tidak terlalu lambat atau cepat. Seperti cerita anime yang pas.

Sekarang, mari kita bicara tentang tiga karakter utama. Tomoyo, Tomoya, dan dango. Ya, kamu baca dengan benar. Dango adalah karakter utama menurut saya. Anyway, Tomoyo adalah tokoh yang sangat kuat, Tomoya mudah diidentifikasi, dan dango ... dango itu hanya menggemaskan. Ketiga karakter ini memiliki chemistry yang bagus, dan interaksi mereka sangat menyenangkan untuk ditonton.

Secara keseluruhan, ceritanya menghangatkan hati, lucu, dan akan membuat Anda terharu dengan cara yang tepat. Saya sangat merekomendasikan untuk ditonton. Dan dengan itu, saya memberikan anime ini skor 8.4/10. Tidak sempurna, tapi sangat dekat dengan kata sempurna. Sekarang, jika Anda tidak keberatan, saya memiliki dango yang ingin saya peluk.

Mixed Feelings

This was a weird one. An adaptation of an alternate story route from the visual novel where he ends up getting together with the white hair girl.

Don't get me wrong, I like her character fine, but it kind of feels like a knife in the heart for Nagisa. Guess she just gets to die alone having lived an unfulfilled life. But don't worry, white hair girl got to keep the sakura trees from being torn down.

Personally I follow the first girl best girl way of thinking, whoever makes the first move or whoever protagonist makes the first move on is the girl I'm going to ... root for 99% of the time. I don't have the patience or energy to care about side girls, or any hypothetical universes where they might have ended up with protagonist-kun. It's exhausting and this OVA did nothing for me. If you're a white hair girl Stan and really wanted to see her route get an adaptation then here you go I guess, but I couldn't care less. 6/10 pointless OVA

Despite being a just a short, half 25 minute OVA, "Clannad: Another World, Tomoyo Chapter" managed to capture most of the essence of the original series - just like the original series, it's guilty of being over manipulative, of having contrived scenarios that strives to squeeze a tear or two out of the audience by whatever means necessary. In other words, it's guilty of being complete bullsh*t... just like the original series.

In this alternative playthrough... er, I mean, alternative universe, Tomoya is dating Grey Haired Girl instead of Brown Haired Girl, and Grey Haired Girl gets elected as the Student Council President. The gist of ... the episode is that her role as President does not mix well with her role as Tomoya's girlfriend, as

a) she is has so many duties to perform as President that she can't find enough time to be with Tomoya;
b) Tomoya has a bad reputation as a good-for-nothing-deliquent, so people disapprove of the match up, and
c) there's also the sense that Tomoya, being a good-for-nothing-non-delinquent, is holding Grey Haired girl back from Greater Things.

So far so good - this isn't actually a bad set up at all... except "Clannad", being "Clannad", has to go and over do it by laboriously shoving the point down the viewer's throat. Take for example, one of the mini stories in the episode, where Tomoya is waiting for Grey Haired Girl after school so they can go home together. Grey Haired Girl is busy with student council stuff, so she proceeds to use the PA system to announce to Tomoya - and the rest of the school - that she's too busy to walk home with him that day. My eyes boggled in disbelief as the proceeding blame for this fell almost entirely on Tomoya, who is guilty of... what? Waiting?? Now, I don't know about you, but if the Student Council President uses the school's PA system for her personal matters, it would probably occur to me that she's irresponsible and is prone to abuse her powers; it might occur to me that she's probably unsuited to being president... but "ZOMG IT MUST BE HER BOYFRIEND'S FAULT!!" isn't likely to be the conclusion that jumps out at me. And this pretty much sets the tone for the rest of the show. Doesn't matter what happens, everything always gets blamed on Tomoya, even when it made absolutely no sense to do so. Meanwhile, Grey Haired Girl is treated like some potential future president of the country with everyone droning on about how she's being held back by Tomoya from doing Greater Things, and no one pauses to consider that, even if assuming everything is Tomoya's fault (which it isn't), the very fact that Grey Haired Girl is so easily led astray should speak volumes about her suitability for the Student Council President role. But no, none of these sensibilites appear to cross anyone's mind, and I ended up feeling as though I was watching a comedy show called "Tomoya the Scapegoat".

The anime is quite neatly summed up by a song which is played at the emotional apex of the show at the end. It's a really nice sounding song which at first seems to be trying to communicate across some extremely emotional message. It's a song that seemed suitable to be played at the most emotional part of the show... until you read the English lyrics... or to be more accurate the Engrish lyrics. It's clear that the lyricist had very little understanding of the English language, and just threw together a bunch of words that seemed nice. The result is something that so laughably bad that it dispelled most of the atmosphere the anime is trying to create at that point. Here are some of the choicest lines from the song for your enjoyment(and no, there's no translational issues here - these are the actual lyrics of the song, since it's sung in English, or rather some twisted form of the language):

"People's hand does not reach, so merely has the worship."

"The place is a lofty lord, can't meet nobody put on."

"Like the head of the shade, figure will be thrown away."

And why do I say this sums up the anime quite neatly? Because just like this song, the anime might give the impression of being an emotional one, only to collapse completely under the lightest scrutiny because it's not backed up by solid substance.

Do I have anything good to say about this OVA? Well, I guess it's not filled with sickening amounts of moe like the original series is at least, since Grey Haired Girl is one of the less moe characters in the dating si- err... I mean the anime's cast. Ehhh... that's about it.
