I tried to buy Clannad a few years ago and it cost $130. $50 is honestly good value for the length, it's a good 100 hours long and translating that much text takes a long fucking time. I'm going to buy it. Shame the original fan translators won't see any money for it, they deserve to get paid for their efforts too.

That was before their last two titles completely bombed.

Largely due to... being 10-year-old games priced at $20 and $30. Or, in other words, still less than Clannad.

Most people don't pay for old games. You'll have a few dedicated people who do, but generally most people are cheapasses for which recency should be the greatest measure of value.

This is especially bad on PC.

Of course I do. Nagisa had no real personality outside of what they realize otaku will like. Compare her to a character from a better vn, such as Asagi Igawa. She's a character with real flaws and things that would trigger the VN crowd, I.E. having a boyfriend, not being a virgin, and having to balance being a regular human and a murderer, and you'll see how shallow Clannad is.

Jun Maeda of KEY is a one-trick pony writer that is only good at catching entry-level weeaboos.

Once you've gained a resistance to his SAD GIRLS IN SNOW melodrama which he keeps reusing over and over then you've become immune to all his samey attempts at pulling cheap emotional manipulation.

At least there's still decent enough waifus. Just laugh at the faggot MC and imagine NTR'ing him.

People actually like Clannad? It's shit.

Boring MC devoid of any personality other than "I hate my dad" effortlessly acquires a high school harem by doing nothing. All girls are adorable moeblobs who are basically perfect besides their single personality quirk that defines them entirely. They all want his dick. It's disgusting otaku wish fulfillment in its purest, most concentrated form.

In the end, he picks the sickly retard girl who is easily the least likable chinese cartoon character from anything I've ever seen.

All this with massive amounts of melodrama over each girl's story arc for inane reasons brought about by poor writing. Nagisa dies, even more melodrama, but at least it was warranted because a person actually died. I'm told in the VN she doesn't come back, but the anime fucked itself by having some magic bullshit where Tomoya then goes back in time and she's okay again, and any emotional impact the scene might have had is completely lost.

Shitty writing all around, the only good part was Sunohara.

I dunno anons. I never got into Clannad at all really, but as far as the Kanon 2006 anime goes I absolutely fucking loathed and still loath the art style. Thought it was the most ridiculous genuinely off putting shit ever. Then I got a ways into it and suddenly realized I had actually kind of gotten through that and had actually gotten somewhat into it. The foxgirl arc genuinely pulled a bit at my cold, black heart.

It's no masterpiece as many claim, at least not to me, but I can't say any fairer about a work then it looks terrible and I go in expecting to hate it or literally disliking it at the start and just because I wanted to be able to shitpost about it later, and then it managed to turn my opinion around to mild respect.
