In both there is thread about other world, mysterious world, magic world. In Clannad AS it is the girl with robot and in Air it is girl with wings. In main story male character is surrounded by girls. In both you can find drama and romance(not that many in Air as in Clannad AS, but it is).
In both series there is a distinct kind of relationship that goes beyond trust and sexual attraction. However, both are also pit up against insurmountable odds and thier dedication seems to blind them to the fact that they cannot succeed. Commitment to a higher whole than themselves seems to be a predominant theme in both of these anime.
If you liked the mix of drama and romance in Clannad After Story then you may want to check out Air. It has a similar sort of tone to that of Clannad After Story, so if you liked that in AS then you may like that in Air.
Both shows are by Kyoto Animation, KEY and Visual Art's. Combining the brilliant visual novel features into the anime, Kyoto Animation captured the brilliant tear-jerking scenes of the visual novels in both of these anime. While Air features less characters than Clannad, both share similar designs and they are certainly worth a watch.

In both, Clannad and Kanon you can find jokes, romance, drama and other similar things. Main character is surrounded by girls. There are mysterious characters too just like Mai or Makoto in Kanon and girl in other world or the cat in Clannad After Story.
Animes are similar, just like prev. serie of Clannad with Kanon.
Becous kanon and Clannad after story bith are very dramatic animes. Both animes are about love. In both anime there is many dramatic moments, but the end of story will suprise you.
Narumi Takayuki is a normal high school student with a crush on Mitsuki, the school's swim star -- that is, until he receives a profession of love from his friend Haruka. But amidst the beautiful budding relationship, tragedy strikes when an accident occurs, turning Narumi’s life upside-down. Kimi ga Nozomu Eien is a compelling drama about one man, and the choices he must make for love.
Clannad AS and KgNE both show the struggles and problems of the main character. The main characters both have a strong sense of guilt and are constantly asking themselfs "what if" questions. If you liked the drama Clannad AS offered, you will most likely "enjoy" KgNE aswell.
Art college: cradle of romance, home of bittersweet moments. Takemoto is struggling to find his direction in life, while his roommates Morita and Mayama are moving confidently - or recklessly - towards their goals. Enter Hagu-chan, the childlike and beautiful prodigy whom everyone admires; and thus the love triangles begin. Together, the trio explore the pain of first love, the trials of romantic conflict, and our loyalty to those annoying people who happen to be our closest friends.
I definitely recommend H&C to those who enjoyed After Story =) H&C isn't really similar to the first season of Clannad, but I felt like it really brought out the same feelings as the After Story.
They both deal with realistic situations and I think that's what both of them stick to me so much. Although Clannad has a more magical spin on things, it still manages to bring out a real approach on life after high school. Similar to H&C, they show the hardships to being alone, finding work, and relationships. What really stood out to me though, was After Story and H&CII both show how the story goes in a full circle and leaves the audience with a complete understand of all the characters. We're left with a sensation that nothing else could be said and it really is a complete ending.
The eccentric Suzumiya Haruhi wants nothing more than to meet aliens, time travelers and espers… but she’ll have to settle for the everyday Kyon instead! Along with the mysterious Itsuki and the vacant Mikuru, the duo forms the SOS Brigade – a club whose mission is to discover the mysteries of the world. Armed with a razor sharp wit and a skill for manipulation, Haruhi will stop at nothing to have fun at all costs, even at the expense of Mikuru’s dignity!
I believe that if you like Clannad ~After Story~ or Suzumiya Haruhi No Yuutsu you would like the other because of these reasons.
1: They both take place in High Schools
2. They also both have a good if not simliar statement on how life can reward you
3. They both have the same element of a rogue if not weird or questionable person changing over time
4. They both have a simliar pattern as to how the plot goes forward from its beginning
5.Both of these anime's would surely not dissapoint the idle watcher and definitely not the hardcore otaku because they present a little bit of each genre of anime except machine/blood violence.
