Seems like half the internet is having heart palpitations after the "announcement" that a new CLANNAD project is scheduled to be announced at Anime Japan 2017. The source of the news cited is the Anime Japan list of traders, which features CLANNAD as one of the booths. If I may
Great opinion article! And definitely something Iâd like to see more of 
I know I canât do these kinds of things because I always like to stick to only facts hahaha.
Now to put in my own opinion⌠CLANNAD (along with little busters, angel beats, and rewrite) are listed on the Anime Japan website under âList of Productsâ. So the only thing I can conclude? Theyâre gonna sell shit.
Pikatto anime actually confirmed this. Theyâve added a picture on their booth at the anime japan website:
Pikatto anime often sells angel beats and little busters goods at events like comiket, so Iâm not surprised they are selling here. Iâve never seem them sell CLANNAD goods though! So will it be them? Or another booth? I dunno lol. Only time will tell~
Selling Dangoâs? They better be as big as the originals cause those miniature Dangoâs are unforgivably small.
Iâm hoping they announce Rewriteâs Oppai OVA there. The 1 new anime content Iâm sure of to be the most likely.
But as someone in the other thread said, it may be cast interviews about the show. That would be something that Iâd be interested in. Hearing what those VAâs have to say about the characters they played, and how it had impacted them.
Though I wouldnât say thereâs âNothing newâ coming. For all we know, Hinoue could have worked with Visual Arts again for this small thing, if itâs merchandising properties, whether itâs just new art or something. Jun Maeda and Shinji Orito may have remastered some tracks from the VN and Anime, and plan to release it. Iâd love to hear a remastered OST. And their affiliations with other companies and studios canât necessarily be predicted.
actually what I said was
and that was when I thought it was simply âClannad will be at Anime Japanâ not âClannad will be at a booth at Anime Japanâ that kind of thing would be a cast interview. Also I was just listing announcements that had the faintest possibility of happening.
look at what KyoAniâs done in the last few years. Everything post Hyokka has been either 1. Anime original 2. Adapted from a light novel KyoAni publishes or 3. Sound Euphonium which was adapted from a novel published by a company not involved in anime (not Kadokawa or Shueisha for example). The only two exceptions are Ms. Kobayashiâs Dragon Maid which appears more to be a rescue by KyoAni than actually being their project and A Silent Voice which who knows how long itâs been in the works? It was announced in Nov 2014 so work had started before that.
I donât think itâs a matter of VAâs/Keyâs relationship with KyoAni but more theyâve moved to working on projects they control. All Haruhi is getting for its 10th anniversary this year is an art book and a new single.
Iâve already shared my opinion in the article. I donât believe in any way that anything weâve seen hints toward a Tomoyo After anime happening any time in the future. Of course, I want to see it as much as anybody, but thereâs absolutely no evidence pointing to such an announcement.
The evidence youâve provided is all completely circumstantial. An English-language Steam release could not possibly have any bearing on the status of of an anime adaptation intended for Japanese audiences. Your point about the daffodils being a march and 10th anniversary flower is the strangest leap in logic Iâve ever heard. I could pick apart how Daffodils are for wedding anniversaries, not general anniversaries, among any other innumerable number of problems with your strange theory, but perhaps the most glaring is that Daffodils arenât even featured prominently in Tomoyo After. She just happens to have a wreath of assorted flowers.
Please stop using bizarre conspiracy theories to justify your belief in a Tomoyo After anime adaptation, and please stop spamming our forum with links to your reddit post. Iâll never say never, but please give some thought to your speculations before sharing them here.
The most likely scenario is that itâs just a booth set up to sell Dango plushies and other merch.
I donât believe anything Clannad themed is coming, but youâre making a bit of a stretch there. They probably arenât doing anything on the anime front, but to say the company has no influence on itself is ridiculous.
I think the problem with the daffodil connection is that theyâd have had to planned 10 years in advance, which they obviously arenât gonna do. They may or may not have noticed the coincidence and just rolled with it, but I donât think the daffodil thing is meaningful. If anything, the trend of bringing old titles into the anime scene (planetarian + Kud Wafter) is the only realistic chain to follow when arguing for a TA anime.
I donât understand where you get the daffodils. Just from looking at pictures on google, the main features of yellow daffodils seems to be six folded out petals and a large folded up thing (Iâm not a botanist okay) in the middle. That seems very different from the flowers on the cover art. The scene in question also only seemed to refer to them as flowers.
Of course, Key has some influence of when an anime is made. However, in a scenario where they need to gather funds for an anime, the steam release is worth next to nothing. The steam version doesnât even have Japanese text available as an option. Even if it did, I doubt that would bring in enough money to warrant an anime. If they made an anime, theyâd probably combine it with a vita release or something.
Either way, I donât give a flying fuck. This is a worthless farce originating from an idiot with a blog saying: âLol, maybe theyâll make more Clannad?â, and obviously Reddit lit up like a Christmas tree over that. This isnât something to be discussed. It is something that should be vigorously stomped into the ground until people are ashamed to even think about it.
When did I speak of money? I responded to Aspiretyâs judgement that the companyâs dealings in the anime industry were detached from the properties they are pushing. Obviously something like foreign affairs wonât have a large impact, but to say there is none at all is insane.
If they are looking to fund an anime adaptation, then in a question of what, the first conclusions would be the ones planned placement at the forefront company image (something we generally canât see until we are allowed to.) If they come out and say âweâre promoting this over something elseâ then it isnât strange to assume the promoted thing is a point of interest in other dealings.
Iâd just leave it. Speculation is only allowed here when established members have a go at it. Sorry you arenât having a welcome reception.
Treating baseless rumors as anything but that breeds misinformation. Misinformation increases the amount of morons that has to be dealt with. We already get plenty of idiocy based on real information.
Okay, this has gotten a bit heated since I left my comment. I guess I got a bit carried away. It might not be worth much, but allow me to apologise for my earlier conduct.
@SnowWeiss This is absolutely the right place to be if you want to share your thoughts as a Key fan. But as youâve seen with me and Helios, thereâs no guarantee that everybody will agree with your speculation. I think I couldâve worded it better, as I can see that my post can come off as an attack, but Iâve personally found it hard to follow some of the points raised in your post. Connecting symbolism of the daffodil with dates outside of Keyâs control and such just comes off as really illogical to me, so I reacted with great scepticism. I called it âconspiracy theoryâ because of how it seems to loosely connect a bunch of circumstantial evidence with no inherent connection, kind of like those âhalf life 3 confirmedâ memes that were popular a while back. Me disagreeing with your theory has nothing to do with you being new to the forum. On the contrary, if @HeliosAlpha said something I found really dumb Iâd be sure to call him out on it. Maybe thatâs a flaw of my character.
I donât think youâre mistaken for wanting a Tomoyo After anime, but I personally feel like itâs a stretch to conclude that Tomoyo After is getting an anime announced at Anime Japan this year based on the reasons youâve provided. Thereâs a much simpler way to get people to accept your argument. âEvery other Key game is getting an anime, donât you think Tomoyo After will too?â And that isnât an argument many people would disagree with. If you start giving specific dates like Anime Japan 2017 then it becomes a bit more open to criticism, but at this point I have little doubt in my mind that Tomoyo After will receive an anime eventually. Key would have to hate money to avoid that prospect. The promise of a Kud Wafter anime makes it more likely than ever that a Tomoyo After anime will make itâs way here eventually.
I believe you need to work on formulating your arguments and theories better, but I donât want you feeling unwelcomed here because of what you posted. Posting on the internet entails the understanding that not everybody will agree with you, but that also comes with an agreement on the other side that you wonât be made to feel super uncomfortable for posting in the first place. I probably didnât exercise my responsibility adequately here, so I apologise for making you feel unwelcomed. I think @HeliosAlpha would do well to chill out a little here too. Weâre all friends here.
Thanks.

Hi everyone. I just wanted to apologize for how this thread played out. My lack of experience in forums has clearly shown, but Iâd like to redeem myself and move on. Iâve written a new post if any of you would like to read.
