This is probably the only animation that has really affected my life. It once changed my view of the two-dimensional culture and my attitude towards my family. After the foreshadowing of the previous season, all kinds of emotions and foreshadowings broke out here. When Nagisa was seriously ill, we found that we fell in love with this kind, cute and strong girl. Precious enough. Until the 18th episode, an accidental opportunity made the three emotional lines of the father-son line, the father-daughter line, and the deceased wife line intersect, so that Pengya re-examines his father, re-examines his daughter, and re-examines his life. At that moment, he really grew into a man. Guangyu, who ran through the whole play, finally played a role at the end. The pointer of time was dialed back, and Tomoya came to the slope of the splendid cherry blossoms again. "Even if you know the tragic ending, will you regret it?" Tomoya chose to fall in love with Nagisa again without hesitation, but this time, there was an extra protection from a miracle. When they saw Shio running in the flower field, their unbearable eyes finally broke down again, and they deserved to enjoy this happiness. It is true that CLANNAD has some "hard flaws": in the early stage, the daily rhythm was not properly controlled, the plots of some branch lines were lackluster or even a bit bloody, some performances that rendered the atmosphere were too forceful, and the characters' action logic was too kind and idealized... From an objective point of view, it is difficult for such a CLANNAD to be dubbed a "magical work". But in the face of powerful emotions, I cannot remain objective.
This is the story of an ordinary person who pursues ordinary happiness in an ordinary town. He will laugh, cry, be persistent, selfish, regret, bewilder, despair, and be strong at the same time. Yes, he has never had or aspired to a magnificent life. This is the most common and common person in our lives. But he can stand up again after being robbed of precious things by life again and again, and move forward under the simple and pure echoes of family, friendship and love, believe in love and create miracles in this ordinary town... People who have these rich emotions and live seriously, even if they are ordinary, are dazzling. This is the most ordinary feeling.
I can always see people in various places with words like "write CL, read life", but in fact, in the utopian world of the second dimension, we can't learn any real knowledge. No matter how touching and real this story is, it just depicts that Tomiya Okazaki's life is not as sincere and kind as in CLANNAD in real life, and there will be no miracles to respond to your love and efforts. But we can find inspiration in those stories and enrich our spirits. I believe that as long as we love life and cherish everyone around us, even if there is no miracle, we can still find our own light in the place where our souls take refuge.
I am so lucky to have met CLannad when I was building the Three Views
