K first of all saying I suck just cause I expressed my opinion is kiddish. When I said "show" I was talking about the actual TV <b>show<b>. Why your bringin the movie and game into this is beyond me. I realise the movie ended differently. I actually enjoyed the movie ending thoroughly. Too bad I wasn't talking about the movie / game in the first place duh.

I realise the anime probably wouldnt end the way I was hoping because it was just following a path from the game but that doesn't mean my opinion of it has to be different. It is what it is. I like stories that are plausable from a reality perspective when it comes to drama and romance. Clannad was one of them up till the end.

"The people cannot be [...] always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to [...] the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to public liberty. What country can preserve its liberties, if it's rulers are not warned [...] that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants."-Thomas Jefferson

I know what you're probably thinking, the game storyline isn't the great then or something like that. YOu cannot say that unless you have actually played the game.

Clannad Game is 100X > the anime.

Actually I had not wtached clannad after story before posting that, but even after watching clanad, my comment still stands, only that clannad is right up there with it. I like both for different reasons, but as purely a "aww thats so cute" romance story, Toradora takes the cake for me. There are far more "aww" and "cute" moments between Taiga and Ruiji than with Nagisa and dude whos name escapes me atm. Athough ushio was hella cute also, Clannad was more about the family issues than just romance. That being said, I did enjoy both just about equally and are my favorites of this year so far.

There are far more dramatic and tear inducing moments in Clannad.
Spoiler :
I cried when Fuko dissappeared. When Akio rushed in yelling at Nagisa during the play. When Nagisa died. When Ushio died. When Nagisa came back. And there were many other tear jerking and watery eye moments.

Your missing the point, I'm refering to cute aww romance moments, not dramatic moments. I said it was my fav romance story, not drama story ;p

I like Nagisa, but Taiga is just way cuter than nagisa like:
Spoiler :
When she saved riuji at the pool and blurted out her awkward Ruiji is mine, stay away from him! thing, when riuji pretended to be santa (cutest taiga moment eva), the sports meet eps where her dad didn;t show and ruiji beat all the other guys to give her the crown... all dressed up for the cristmas song scene.... just to name a few
all aww taiga is too cute moments, not sad teary eyed dramatic moments. we comparing totally different things here ;p

one thing about clannad:
Spoiler :
I actually think the nagisa comming back part was more confusing than dramatic. although part of me is happy they are all alive and good in the end, it Probably would've made for a more realistic and powerfull ending to keep nagisa dead and have ushio survive. I wouldve realy hated clannad if they killed off both of them tho.

I hate Toradora's ending. I'm not going to tell you why you should hate it and you shouldn't tell me why I should like it, that's the beauty to an opinion and it's cool like that...

Oh Minorin, you deserve so much more... /sob
Ami, you're a sexy ass beech, but we loved you for it... you also deserved better... /cry
Ryujii, you were Taiga's little bitch, you cooked and cleaned, and were slapped around, you deserved a better brain...

/lols

But as a whole, the series had something unexpected that I enjoyed, FIGHTING! The fighting between Taiga and anyone else was awesome enough to place bets..

I have not watched episode 25, and I never will. This way, there's a much more awesome ending inside my head.
Spoiler :
With lots of Ami×Minori.
