OP Sequence

OP: 「メグメル~cuckool mix 2007~」 (Megumeru ~cuckool mix 2007~) by eufonius
Watch the OP!: Mirror 1, Mirror 2, Mirror 3
As expected, the OP shows off the wide range of beautiful animation that KyoAni can do, from the snowy landscapes to fields of flowers. It of course reminds me of the Kanon OP in many respects, but a bit faster paced, and the characters are clearly spelled out in this one. The eufonius song is pretty good too, though I haven’t listened to it enough to be able to tell a difference between it and the game’s original.

ED Sequence

ED: 「だんご大家族」 (Dango Daikazoku) by Chata
Watch the ED!: Mirror 1, Mirror 2, Mirror 3
Like the title (A Large Family of Dango)implies, this ending sequence is filled with dango playing various family roles. I was a bit surprised to see an ending like this, but it’s rather cute, and the song is good in a very happy kind of way. After listening to this for a while, I think I actually like the ED a little more than the OP.

CLANNAD is only a week away now, and the Invitation DVD serves up some more promos along with the creditless OP and ED. Having not played the game, I’m still trying to keep myself in the dark about the plot so that everything is fresh for me when I watch the anime adaptation. I’ve got pretty high expectations for this, and if these promos have been any indication, Kyoto Animation and Key’s story won’t disappoint. The main downside is that these all had a 16:9 aspect ratio, but TBS is going to be airing this series in 4:3, and the widescreen version probably won’t be available until this airs on BS-i three weeks later. In any case, CLANNAD is due to start airing next Thursday night (October 4th) at 25:55 JST.

  1. //i hope this is not bloody like school days//

    Clannad the game was made for all ages, so a bloody ending is highly unlikely.
    For anyone wondering ‘Clannad’ is the Irish word for family.

  6. > i think MBS should be showing the WS version…which means earliest WS version is on october 13…. which is 1 week later
    – fireboy88

    Nah, MBS and CBC are both part of the TBS network airing the show in 4:3. BS-i is their premium subscription channel, and that’s why it’s the only one airing it in 16:9.

  7. can someone tell me why I nearly cried when watchign the ED? I’ve a hard time figuring it out myself xD

    anyway, I haven’t read any good summaries or reviews, but when I first heard of Clannad (with the Kanon episodes) I already planned on watching it

    but this’ll probably be 1 of those animes I’d want to buy on dvd xD

  9. What the heck, do those of you wondering about if CLANNAD of all things would be like School Days have ANY IDEA about the orginal story? Or even anything about KyoAni? This is KyoAni we’re talking about, there’s NOT going to be and be-headings here, it’s like your insulting the awesomeness that is Clannad.

    By the way, Clannad the Visual Novel was first relased as an all-ages version.

  10. //The only downside for me is that only Nagisa will get her true ending >_>; //

    For the most part everyone in Kanon got their true endings in a sense, I don’t see why Kyoani won’t be able to do the same here.
