For those of you who have not finish watching Clannad or Clannad After Story yet, or intend on watching it, you should know that there are spoilers in the comments.

Clannad: What kinda feelings you want, fam? Me: Just fuck my shit up. Clannad: Say no more.

Brain: lets rewatch clannad Heart: Dont you fuking dare

i want to clear my memory and watch clannad one more time...

You guys know what I did last year? I downloaded this song on smartphone, put on headphones and slowly walked the street during snowfall. What I have felt is simply beyond human description.

Ushio: Daddy... Tomoya: Ushio, I'm right here. What is it? Ushio: Did we... make it? Are we on the train yet? Tomoya: Yeah, we made it on the train. Ushio: It's dark. Is it night? Tomoya: It sure is. It's getting late. Ushio: Oh... Daddy? Tomoya: Hmm? Ushio: I love you. Tomoya: Yeah. Daddy loves you too, Ushio, very much.

Clannad is that kind of anime that words aren't enough to describe it, many times I told my friends to watch it and they say "tell me about it" and I always get speechless after that because there's no way to describe it other than "you have to watch it, you have to feel it". This is not an anime with a masterpiece plot like Code Geass, Death Note or Steins;Gate, this is not an action anime with epic fights like Fate series or Gurren Laggan, this is simply a slice of life anime that has so much reality in it that it just blows on you. Clannad is just one of a kind.

I think Ushio hit me harder than Nagisa

"No! Anything but this! Nagisa, please save Ushio! Nagisa!"

This is the saddest soundtrack that I've heard in my life

Pack your bags. We're leaving on the Pain Train. :'(

I don't always listen to Clannad music, but when I do, I cry my heart out.

This anime is a life changer. It's really hard to describe using words. There's really nothing like it. You have to experience it for yourself to understand the feelings and emotions. So much passion in the scenes. I don't know what inspired the writer of this anime to write something like Clannad, but that son of a gun is my hero. I feel like the writer poured their heart and soul into every sentence, word, letter, etc. This anime is a masterpiece. It is one of the first ones I watched, and forever will be my favourite. I will never ever forget this anime as long as I live. You cannot watch this anime without crying. It's literally impossible.

How can one show make you laugh so hard, yet make you cry just as hard as well...

There are only two places you can cry...

I find it disappointing that most of my friends don't watch this type of anime and get to experience and learn from this series. Cuz they're all into ecchi and action type shit..

There are no brakes on the feels train

Listening to this at 4AM in the morning might not have been the smartest decision I ever made ;_;

You know you are a sad drunk when you listen to this nearly ten years later just to cry your eyes out and question why you ever wanted to revisit these bittersweet memories ever again. This anime really does hit different. To anyone who hasn’t, please do it will show you what true strength is.You can continue even in the toughest adversity which, I truly hope you never have to suffer the same fate Tomoya did.

There may never be an anime like Clannad ever again...

The first time this scene played, it broke my heart so much and I cried. I felt so much pain for Tomoya. First he loss his wife, then he loses his daughter only 5 years later. He loss everything he loved and had. I always feel so emotional listening to this music. I love this music so, so much...

"Why is it so dark?" "Is it night?" "Where are we?" "Are we on the train now?" Ohh whyyyy T_T

Here after 13 years... the winter weather is creeping up and I remember this anime

Not sure if anyone would read this since the video is very old and not many visitors, but I noticed this song was used durring season one. What was once a mysterious song with a sense of nostalgia, is now haunting and mostly known as Ushio’s last scene. It’s tragic. Clannad IS tragic. Of course it has a happy ending, but not until it breaks you, it makes you think how important family is, whether you’re related to them, or people you built relationships over time, family is the common theme. Something most of these characters all treasure in their own way, and something Tomoya learned to treasure as well as the series goes on.

THIS ANIME FUCKED ME UP I'M SO FUCKED UP MAKE IT STOP *PLEASE*

Fucking hell this is depressing.

I'm kinda glad the anime followed the game's good ending with Nagisa >_< imagine if it ended on a bad end ....

i sobbed so bad at this in mc donalds watching it while my friends were eating they were all asking why i cried i showed them this suddenly a table full of 18-20 yr olds were crying in public

Daddy? Hmm? I love you… If that doesn’t make people cry I don’t know what else anymore. This song still gives me goosebumps everytime I saw that scene

just picture this, the snow is falling, your daughter in your arms. surrounded by each other’s warmth, tears start to stream gently from your eyes as you feel her body warmth starting to fade away. now, the only person there is you, holding your loved one in your arms. the only thing comforting you is the snow on the ground, surrounding you… as you watch your daughter fade away…. your tears start melting away the snowfield…. nothing else is left now.

Just rewatched the show for the first time in a decade. It sucks that I knew what was coming, but it just made me cry even more. What an incredible soundtrack. What an incredible show.

I remember crying so hard when this song played that I actually wailed and screamed, no other piece of media has ever made me cry on that level other than the ending of the green mile. Words really cannot describe just how good this anime is, Kyoto made the saddest anime eve- no one of the saddest tv shows ever made. It is so down to earth and realistic it truly does a masterful job at showing just how important family is.

That empty street, the snow, the cold, the haze. Tomoya, a father who can't walk more; Ushio, a baby who can't breathe...the final word: "I love you". Tears, screams, death and love in the same time...the saddest and most heartbroken moment ever in the world of anime

*You guys are all on about the anime, at least give this great song some credit..* I've never heard something so peaceful, yet sad.

It's been nearly a decade since I watched this anime, and hearing the first 10 seconds of this was all I needed to bring all the emotions back. As if it's only been a day.

I think the reason I cried more for Ushio than Nagisa was actually this song. If my memory is accurate the cheerful dango melody played when nagisa died. But this song... my god... I cry judt hearing it, even a year after watching the series. It's so beautiful, so sad... it fit so perfectly with the scene, an absolute masterpiece.

Listening this again on December nights alone in my bed with my earpods hiting right in the feel...thank u so much Clannad🙏 im glad i got to experience this painful yet peaceful feeling.

Watched the series 3 months ago. Just listening to this makes me cry again.

I always cry when i'm listening Clannad OST. Some ost are depressing, but so beautiful.

KyoAni 😭😭😭. I'm so sorry. You have all my love. Thank you for all and good luck.

Excuse me while I go and cry

"Are we on the train, Papa?" "Yeah, we're on the train." "It's dark out." "That's right, it's the middle of the night." "I love you, papa." "I love you too, Ushio." Even thinking of that scene brings me tears.

You know a moment in a show was meant to punch you in the gut when there's a song composed solely for it

God damn it when Ushio's arms dropped to her sides lifelessly while Tomoya was hugging her my throat clenched up and my eyes started swelling from tears T^T I just cant I gotta stop listening to this the feels are coming back..

i wonder if the composers cry when creating this music. i really wonder. jeez every time i hear this some part of my heart breaks and will never return. it simply is erased due to the feels.

How can sounds make me feel a type of way?

Does anyone else's heart sink when then hear this song..? It's beautiful..

Like if this is your all time favorite romance anime

Clannad is truly special. There are plenty of things out there that give me "the feels", etc. But Clannad is one of the very few of those things that I can't rewatch again because those scenes literally HURT to watch, like painful feelings. Maybe because it deals with real life tradegy and has no fantasy whatsoever (well, except for the ending/alternate universe). But also because those two scenes (you know the ones) just drag on and on and you KNOW what the end result will be so you're just like "please make it stop PLEASE". ;_______; Although I can't name it my #1 favorite anime of all time just because of how almost EVERY episode hurt me in some way, I still acknowledge it as the best I've ever seen. And I think the soundtrack is a huge part of it, because it's so haunting and horribly fitting yet beautiful at the same time. Clannad

the best part about having a memory block during the time i first watched clannad is i get to watch it a second time like its my first

A great anime that I watched in one of my darkest periods of life. Kinda fitting. Will probably never watch it again though. Once was enough.

This entire show made me want to fix my relationship with my parents. Especially my dad, I started to appreciate my dad more since I had similarities to Tomoya's life. To clarify, I had a bit of a rocky relationship with my parents. I was entitled and narcissistic and always thought they wronged me when I didn’t get my way and I would always get into petty arguments with my parents. Sometimes it was their fault, most of the time it was mine. Then that scene where Tomoya remembers everything that his father did for him as a kid got me thinking about my family.

I love you to ushio ... Ushio? Ushio?! Ushioooooooo!!!!!!!!!!

First watched this in middle school like 7 or 8 years ago. Maybe its time to go back to that time period

This scene... Just kept thinking 'no no no no get to the train get to the field of flowers no no no don't do this' and then... *sobs

This show made me cry for 8 episodes straight, wtf. Why does this make me feel SO MANY FEELS!

Tomoya had nothing in the beginning, then he had something. He thought he had nothing but he did have something. Then went from nothing again

Why tf do i cry everytime i hear anything related to this anime man??? 😭😭

I have a severe case of anxiety attacks, this has been helping me for the last eight years ever since i picked up Clannad

This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.

This tune sounds so beautiful and peaceful, yet so deeply sad, that even before watching Clannad it made my eyes tear up. Pure masterpiece...

God, this anime just broke my heart. I just want to cry when I hear this song ;___; tsunami of feels

_"Love is like heaven but can hurt like hell"_ I saw this anime a long time ago. But for some reason, I just came back to experience the emotions of this track in the scene in which it was portrayed. Love is a beautiful thing to experience but with love comes pain as well. So for each of you, love what you still have at this moment and keep loving until their day of parting. Life is but a fleeting shadow.

The feelings this song envokes are truly magical. It puts me in a state of mind where I reminisce on every key aspect in life. My trials & tribulations, my first heartache, first love, the passing of a loved one....Its does so much. This was the perfect soundtrack for Clannad because you were in tune with characters, you felt exactly what Tomoya felt..There's so much that can be sad about this, but I feel Ive said enough on my part..

Still makes me tear up a bit to this day jeez

Ushio: Are we on the train, daddy? Tomoya: Yes... we are... Me: T-T

I can't believe it's been almost 5 years... When I watched it I was 15, now I'm close to 20, but it feels like it was yesterday. As soon as I finished it, I knew this was going to be my favorite show ever, not only among anime. It still is, and I've watched so much more stuff since then, but this got a special place in my heart, I cried so much, it touched me so deeply I can feel it impacted my conception of life. I've grown up a lot since those days, I'm not even sure I'd like it as much if I had to watch it for the first time now, maybe it was the perfect anime at the perfect timing, but I'll always remember this as the greatest thing I ever watched. Just wanted to share this, hopefully I'm not the only one that has been such deeply touched by this anime..

How could something sound so utterly hopeless but so beautiful at the same time?

the dreamy melancholic melody will always hit hard :(

this is truly one of the most beautiful things i ever heard

clanned is the anime that lets you just let go of everything the worries the fear the stress of the mind it is sad but it is sad since the pains in the animes is one of many we all face in life, but fuck it sure is a tear jerker

Clannad was an anime that made me feel emotional and made me think about my future if I want a wife and a kid

I can't take this, this literally breaks my heart into pieces. I've lost my mother to cancer & on top of that have a father who doesn't really seem to care about me. Life altogether is slowly starting to get too much for me, but i love life.. that's the worst part.

I love clannad. The emotions it makes you feel is amazing. It makes you laugh, it makes you smile, it makes you anxious, it makes you nervous, and makes you cry. The characters are so relatable, and the message of the story hits so hard. Those last few episodes were the most painful things I had ever watched in my life, and I love them. Just hearing this song makes me sad. I don’t give 10/10s very easily, but clannad gets one. Amazing anime.

I remember after watching this I was shell-shocked for 2 weeks. Never watched something before that pulled me in like this did. Such a great anime and story.

The whole anime, the osts are so amazing, so emotional, so much pain and saddnes. But after all everything goes to a happy end,i can't describe what i feel, when i see or hear Clannad😭😢

Actually I didn't realize that the tears were falling from my eyes when this played in the anime. Then I saw the puddle in front of me ,near my keyboard

The first time i saw ushios death was in a top 10 saddest anime deaths and without even seeing any other episode i immediately was heartbroken

not me still cracking up over this shit 7 YEARS LATER. holy God this anime is a masterpiece

Every year, on Christmas, I come here, just to remind myself that the world is beautiful even if something bad happens... Last week my grandma died, and now I'm sitting here crying and wonder how the afterlife will be,if she's still there, watching over me just like she always did...

I put this song on while I was with my friend and I just started crying. She was laughing so hard, though... people don't understand the pain this anime puts us through! :(

RIP to all the parents who lost their child :c❤💔

well, time for another Feel trip

No other anime has been more emotionally impactful than this one..

I listen to this song everytime the first snow falls, its always beautiful

Goosebumps even after all these years. Clannad + Clannad After Story were truly masterpieces in their own right.

As a 21 years old guy, being an anime-fan for 4 years, i have watched this series around 3 years ago. Since then i have watched so many similar styled ones, but nothing comes close to this. This was pretty much the only anime i was really able to cry on, the one that was able to bring out my restrained feels...I have set my standard high up from the beginning in this category, huh? Relistening to this track occasionally is still a tearjerker... simply incredible.

Clannad is that type of anime anyone can sit down and watch and automatically can relate to any situation given from the show that's why I believe makes such an impact ... A lot of shit people go through is heartbreaking and filled with sadness

"Tis better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all." Tomoya: Let me tell you why that's bullshit

I don't even know this anime and even I'm sad

There are some anime series and movies I can't seemed to make me watch again.😭

I cried.

나기사에 이어서 우시오까지 세상을 떠난건 너무 비극적이였음…무척이나 소중한 두사람을 잃는다는건 대체 무슨감정일지 가늠할수가 없다..보면서 진짜 펑펑울었다

It's time for a feels trip, get on the feels train.

好きすぎて切ない 胸がぎゅってなる

This song alone brings out the deepest, vacant, and depressing thoughts I have deep down inside. Remembering this scene in the anime always gets me teary eyed, but this scene mixed with all of my emotions.............it kills me everytime, but I keep listening because it's a necessity It's hard to explain it.............It's just something I need to do every once in a while................In my darkest times

Clannad's ost always reminds me to be more serious in my life.

This shows how cruel life can be

Listening this song actually hurts due the recent event. Thank you KyoAni. You will rise again!

the anime spends 1 and a half season showing you the most beautiful moments in life, and then takes it all away without even hesitating. It takes all of your floor. Damn, this series hurts.
