Without the series explaining to me what the characters were all about, Clannad: Another World, Tomoyo Chapter would have been a complete waste of my time. As a stand alone chapter in the series, it doesn't really work. But, it tells the classic tale of a rich girl and lower class boy's love conquering all... which doesn't really work in such a short time.

But, and that's a big one, as someone who loved the series and enjoyed the interaction of these two characters, Clannad: Another World, Tomoyo Chapter has some extra value. Not much, but still some. The story itself sucks, the characters are meaningless unless you already know them, and the setting irrelevant. Still, it's a cute bit of love with a side of selfless stupidity that people call romantic drama.

Oh, don't get me wrong. It's fine. For people who know the Clannad franchise, this is a cute short bit that is a kind of fun "what if". That being said, it isn't nearly as good as the rest of the series.
