Why hasn't anyone been able to recreate the magic we saw with Kanon and Clannad?
It just seems like they're still the top dogs of the whole SoL-w/-Drama genre they created, even after a literal decade

Because they don't adapt good VNs anymore

Little Busters had some potential if only KyoAni had adapted it.
I think Nagi no Asukara came pretty close in matching the drama. But yea, I agree. Cringey melodramas don't come by often anymore.
Kanon 2006 was particularly great because KyoAni did such a good job lifting out the cozy, winter atmosphere. Too bad uguu moeblobs are out of fashion.

2002 was an "acceptable" adaptation that I'll understand if the fans of the VN like.
2006 is a fucking masterpiece, I don't know what the fuck you're on about.

Well, I wouldn't say it's as good, but Plastic Memories gave me the same feels as Clannad AS. I watched Clannad before Kanon, so it didn't have the same effect, plus the fox girl was just annoying.

Foxy was worst girl
Best girl is ice-cream-in-the-snow

Came close, but the ending killed it. Too anti-climactic and loose.

I think Nagi no Asukara also had an excessive amount of crying in it. Maybe it's because Okada isn't as good of a writer as Maeda?

Okada excels at teen melodrama wangstfests though. But definitely, Clannad is better because its more subdued compared to her hamminess.

Previous arguments withstanding, I also think we're less naive to this sort of drama. We'd just bitterly rip the characters to shreds now, and, having done that, reassemble them into some mediocre meme.
As is the way with post '10 /a/.

Dead franchises make me nostalgic. At least most of the things I like have fanart being created, but Kanon hasn't had shit in fucking YEARS
>>140791070
There's still a shitload of Key fanart on Pixiv. You just haven't looked hard enough.
