What really puts question mark in my head is how come twin siblings can have so much personality differences? In real life I’ve of course met and personally interacted with siblings, but none of them give so much discrepancies like Fujibayashi sisters. While it’s not entirely out of stretch, I’m still baffled.
Now for the route and the story, I’m quite satisfied. Some memorable events including the famous Kyou’s rain scene and the ending in School’s yard, either events convey strong feelings for the readers. Well, most readers, as I’m sure there are quite people who don’t like it and it’s understandable.
But damn son it’s so awful feeling looking at this scene in particular:
Took me quite awhile to press ‘next’ button in my controller.
For Sunohara I think this arc represents his real attitude best. Have no complaint at all.
I am annoyed though that I as a reader spend time less with Kyou than her sister Ryou. Isn’t she supposed to be the heroine this arc or not? xD
While the story is generic - love triangle yadda yadda, and probably boring for many readers, I find it’s so fitting to have this very generic storyline in CLANNAD. Not only is it a constant topic we see in real life, it also shows how strong family bond can overcome even the worst jealousy and egotism. Well, the story writer knows how to write after all.
I can definitely give this route 8/10. Kyou’s route but we see her less than her sister. Herp derp.
