Clannad has everything, memorable characters, breathtaking animation and visuals; the lighting in the series is really spellbinding and an easy to follow story, that mixes in comedy and really heartbreaking drama moments very well and they blance just right. I really didn't like Youhei though, I found him really annoying and he kept spoiling the mood, everyone else is really well developed though.
