I am not surprised that this movie would not do the series justice. It's actually quite nieve to believe it would.
Clannad as a TV series with two seasons over 1000 hours of information, the show lets you grow with the characters, while this movie makes it very difficult to grow that attachment to the characters, which really hinders the emotional effect it has on us viewers.
It very vaguely explains the story although the flow is average, which isn't the best but better then a flow that is terrible.
If you did watch the series watching this movie would be pointless. You'll be left thinking
...
to yourself: "How is it possible for someone to know how powerful this story really is if they just watched the movie?"
I do understand Clannad is from a visual novel, but comparing to the TV series, I am very upset. I decided that I do NOT recommend watching this if you have seen the series.
The characters have a different feel to them as well. When I say this I mean it's almost as their personalities are different. And when the show takes a time leap, their attitudes grow in relation to the series, which is confusing when watching the movie, not knowing how they got there.
In the end I give this movie a 5/10.
I love Clannad, but this movie just left me with a bad taste in my mouth.
