Its really hard for me to decide which was the best one since I loved all Key series the same… but the only one that changed my whole life was Clannad. So I think ill vote for that…
Im so in love with CLANNAD im doing a 9th run of watching both seasons… lol. Yeah I guess clannad wins for me but still that doesnt matter that the other ones were bad or anything, It is just because I am feel-attached to it.
AB!VN isn’t done yet, is it? It can’t be my favorite series based of the anime and a tease manga. :V
I think it has potential. Little Busters! I know is perfect.
I think the reason I can’t decide is because I’m so split between quality.
Definitely my top 3 would be Clannad, LB and Rewrite.
I really love the Rewrite character routes more than the rest
And I love Refrain more than After Story and Terra.
But Clannad is just consistently good for both character routes and after story. So… it is impossible for me to decide orz
The Little Busters are eternal. All of Key’s series are amazing in their own way, but none have affected my life as much as Little Busters has, and continues to.
Tomoyo After is under the Clannad series, I’d reckon. It’s not enough to warrant a series of its own.
Making a poll specifically for visual novel does seem interesting, as I would probably be able to give an answer for that one
Definitely and absolutely Little Busters!
There was a time when I was wondering if it’s even humanly possible to produce something that gives you more feels than Clannad. But then I played Little Busters… and for a while, I forgot that Clannad even existed o.O
Really tough choice but I guess at the end of the day, I’m going to choose Clannad for two reasons. One, it was the show that got me back into anime for the better (or worse). Two, I really loved the characters, the story, the animation and the music. Additionally, it showed me how special the anime medium could be and given that I first watched it during my senior year in High School, it had quite an impact on my life. Don’t get me wrong, I like the rest of the Key Series (especially Little Busters and Planetarian) as much as the next guy but when it came to a series that I could go back to and cherish the memories, Clannad is the one that immediately comes to mind. It might be overrated for some, but I can’t help but love it.
Very difficult choice. Every Key VN and anime has their own strong points. Kanon has the heartwarming atmosphere (LOL winter), Clannad has the family themes and LB! has the biggest and best bros one could ever wish for. Ah, and the songs. I have yet to play Rewrite, but seems to be epic albeit not your typical Key VN
Still, I go towards AIR because it was what made me:
1.- …a stoic lump of meat with a stone core become human
2.- …first know about Key in general
3.- …fall in love with an OST for the first time. Tori no Uta FTW!!! ;v;
4.- Those BG sounds not related to music (e.g. the Cicadas) was a definite killer when I read the VN
