Summer break is now over; the second semester has started for Tomoya, Nagisa and the others, and little has changed. Since Tomoya's relationship with his father is still troubled, he continues to live with Nagisa and her family, even if it means getting roped into organizing a baseball team for the family bakery. Life at school continues as normal with Sunohara as carefree as ever; however, when his sister Mei voices her concerns about him, the series of events that follow place a strain on Sunohara and Tomoya’s friendship. Whether it's saving a person from themselves or passing on a message from the past, one thing’s for sure: no matter how tough things get, good friends will always be there to help out.
Natsume is lonely; he has an ability that separates him from others: he can see and interact with spirits. Soon, however, Natsume discovers that he’s not alone: his grandmother Reiko also had the gift. But things get hectic and possibly dangerous for Natsume when he finds out that he also inherited the 'Book of Friends', a book that contains the names of all the spirits Reiko defeated and subjugated. He finds himself hounded by his grandmother's underlings and, with the help of a 'cat' charm spirit, decides to free them from the Book's shackles, as well as protect the book from those who seek to misuse its power...
Both of animes have at lease some paranormal aspects. Clannad After Story has a slight dose of it, while you can say natsume is a full meal. They both have a nice slow pace that doesn't really become annoying. And the bigest similarity in both of these shows is the warm fuzzy feeling they leave at the end of the episodes.

Each of these titles deals with a protagonist whos life may not be what they want it to, and they discover something important throughout the title that leads them to make a change in their life. I find that both of these titles make you reflect on your own life, and make you think if it is what you want it to be also.

Both of these shows center around a man who is in love with a girl who is slipping away from him. They both are very emotional and have similar twists at the end.

Determined to prove himself worthy of her affections, Yamato decides to join the school's track team and show her what he’s got, but things won’t be so easy; for Suzuka has a love interest of her own, and it isn’t Yamato...
If you love Clannad/Clannad After Story you are sure to love Suzuka. I had been searching for months for an anime that could effect me the way Clannad did. And this is finally it!!!
I was sincerely moved by the ending of both these animes. They can both be categorized as romance, and slice of life, and they also deal with discovering your place in the world after transitioning out of highschool.
While Suzuka's drama is based more off a love-triangle situation, both have a beautiful love story and interesting twists that will keep your eyes glued to the screen. :) Please watch Suzuka! You won't be disappointed.
