AGAIN.Īlso don't Tomoyo and Tomoya get rather um physical in TA? Sad is expected.Ībout the only thing that's amusing is that Daisuke Ono is the male lead. I understand Planetarian is a sadder story than AIR. Maybe we can finally get a female lead that no one complains about with Rin Natsume. Sort of saying "Here's what happens when he DOESN'T pick Nagisa. Sure it's sad and emotional and all, but it just feels so pointless and MEAN. I still think it really feels like a troll ending. In terms otf maturity and meaning I rate TA over Clannad anyday. Clannad still has too many elements of escaptist fantasy in it like previous Key work, whereas TA toss them out the window. It's really trivialising the message in TA if all you can see is the "depressing" part, there's some serious lessons in life to be learnt in TA, more so than Clannad. There's no "reaction" motivation in TA on how Clannad was received. TA is what he really feels that people should learn and he was able to express it without the restrictions. They requested Maeda Jun to write a fairly standard anime-type mircale happy ending to Clannad, which apparently Maeda Jun never took a particular liking to - he had expressed his distaste in the "somehow through lots of hardwork everything works out in the end" type of cheap miricales in the stories.
No, compared with Tomoyo After that's just commercial interest rearing its ugly head in Clannad.
If you really want to see how his brain ticks, that's the game to play. Tomoyo After is Maeda Jun's rawest emotional piece of work to date. And Tomoyo After is no way "doujinshi quality", it is basically as long as the Clannad After Story, and combined with the Tomoyo arc from Clannad forms just as complete of a story about life (though a completely opposite take on it) as Nagisa's route in Clannad. Jun Maeda wanted to write something that he wants to write instead of what the company wanted ie so he doesn't have to take sales and fan preference into consideration, and after Clannad he ask the boss and got the go ahead and hence wrote Tomoyo After. (Then again, that might have contributed to Planetarian being the most depressing work by Key.)įrom what I've heard of both TA and Planetarian. Well, Planetarian was also not out of the hands of Maeda, so in itself Tomoyo After isn't a unique exception. I did always feel it was sort of a "Take That!" to people who didn't like the Nagisa scenario, given TA's ending, though. Well the difference with planetarian and tomoyo after is that tomoyo after clashes with what is canon in clannad, and to a fan who felt tomoyo after was not as great of a work as clannad was, having the question of canon come up is a little frustrationg, its like saying turkey is less like turkey than chicken. Wasn't this basically a "we know everybody didn't love jun maeda's script so those that want to make a game not featuring nagisa do it" kind thing? I mean for me at least I just felt it was probably doujinshi quality, compared to what the original clannad team did, but then again I could be totally wrong.
