What a difference than the Kyo Ani version. This one is BEXTREMELY/B depressing. Watching this might spoil the TV series. But then the TV series was very funny and great to watch. This is like watching KGNE.

I also don't like the art that much. The people are more like the game but I like the KyoAni look, even it is just a bunch of bodies with the same face attached to all the girls.

The plot is different, it just focuses on Tomoya and Nagisa, the others are there but are background (except for Tomoyo). This is Nagisa's path animated exclusively.

BTW It will spoil the ending if you watch this movie. Though KyoAni could take a different route but I doubt it.

Clannad is the name of a long running Celtic Irish folk group. The word clannad is a made-up Celtic word created by the band as their name (it comes from 'an clann as Dobhar' meaning 'family from Dore'.) But it is also the name of a popular Japanese visual novel (wiki link) by the same software company that produced the visual novels that spawned the anime series - Kanon and Air TV.

Also announced is an anime series by the same name (to be released in 2008), produced by Kyoto Animation and directed by Tatsuya Ishihara, who also worked on Air TV, Kanon and the ever popular The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.
