What do I talk about when I talk about CLANNAD

1. Is your "CLANNAD" really over?
If you can calm down and finish the game, you may really see the complete "CLannaD". No matter how many years later, I will never forget that good time that year when I was religiously traversing the lines of "clannad" every night. As a player, I constantly reincarnate in the game and collect light jade from everyone in the town, just to save the characters I love, including myself, and the feeling of this whole process is the feeling of the male protagonist and the friend. , which makes the perspective of the player and the male protagonist perfectly integrated, and the strong sense of substitution can make people unable to come out. Said that clannad is a tearjerker, I think this is one of the reasons why he is different from other similar works.

2. The beginning and ending of
the story are completely connected. I have been thinking: At the time, the player seemed to be on an endless journey of light and jade, but at the end, he returned to the slope at the beginning. Where was the original starting point? At the beginning of the game and animation, the ramp where Tomoya met Nagisa for the first time is definitely not the starting point of the journey, just like why Tomoya had heard Nagisa's play story. Because of that fantasy world full of light jade, Tomoya has been there for a long time.
After thinking about it, it doesn't matter where the starting point is. No matter how many times he reincarnates, Tomoya will encourage the girl who used to be unconfident on the ramp that used to be black and white, and say the words that he never did. The journey has already begun, so it just goes to the end.
I only know that if according to the original intention of the game, players did not know the role of Guangyu at the beginning, and they may not even be able to find those little dots of unknown meaning hidden under the big tree. Who would have thought that they condense the greatest happiness . The world of "clannad" has been planted with countless seeds at the seemingly calm and unremarkable beginning, so with good wishes, it set off towards happiness.

3. Guangyu and the town
When it comes to the key club, I will think of the beautiful name Guangyu, which also appears in "angel beats" and "Little Busters!", it is a small spot under the green tree , or a piece of starlight flying in the clear sky, but also the happiness condensed in the hearts of people.
Some people say that the settings of Guangyu and the fantasy world in clannad are too illusory and meaningless. However, the settings such as Guangyu and Fantasy World are actually clannad's gods. It is the light in the author's heart, carrying happiness and wishes, connecting reality and dreams, and making clannad more uniquely charming in Japanese art: "things sorrow" and "youxuan", these two words are also so attractive to Riman core reason.

Fantasy world, the will of a small town, the connotations of these settings may be well understood by the Japanese themselves, but it seems a bit jerky to us. Let's talk about Japanese religion first. In Japan, religious beliefs are diverse and incomplete. Generally speaking, religious beliefs are always mutually exclusive. If you believe in God, you will not believe in the existence of Sakyamuni. But in Japan, the same person even believes in two or more religions, so Japan's religious beliefs are quite diverse. Japan has a religion developed in Japan - Shintoism. The place for worshiping gods is shrines. Shintoism believes that all things in nature have gods. You can find this by watching Japanese literature and film works. There is a saying in Japan that "eight million gods", all things have gods, and all things have spirituality. They should not use too much human power to change nature. This is the awe in their hearts. There have been many calls in Japan not to continue to cut down forests to make disposable chopsticks, and to call on everyone to develop the habit of bringing their own chopsticks, which seems like a trivial matter. This kind of reverence is also the reason why clannad is full of settings and plots related to the natural environment. Tomoyo used his youth to protect the cherry blossom trees. The animation Kotomi has been working as a gardener, and even Nagisa's life is related to the small town. Greenland is connected. In clannad, everyone's happiness can be turned into a bright jade that makes others happy, and the town where everyone lives together has its own will, so there is a fantasy world of the town. Many small "beasts" in the fantasy world are originally animals without "hearts", and they represent all kinds of non-living things that fill the town. But two of the little beasts have feelings and help the fantasy girl find the robot. They have feelings because they are influenced by the feelings of their masters, and the two little beasts are Furukawa's Dango and Fuzi's Starfish. In the small town, Guangyu, who carried the wishes of everyone, finally allowed Pengya to be redeemed. All of this is like this at the end of this long journey, giving you the most heartfelt warmth.

4. All our compliments to clannad, every word is to thank him for his touching

Fortunately, this long, long ramp has a happy ending in the end. After watching clannad, many people always ask: What does the ending mean, is it true that the time goes back? In fact, the answer clannad has repeatedly told us in the story - even if the efforts in reality may be in vain, even those things that used to be extremely happy and happy will be lost one day, even if "all this is constantly changing. As long as you do what you are doing right now and do what you can do, then things will change in the future. Those who can truly understand this truth, whether it is the ending of the clannad story or their own life, have the answer.
——"CLANNAD" is so beautiful. He is the most beautiful work I have seen so far. There are objective reasons for him to sit firmly in the first place in various comprehensive rankings. For me, even though EVA was the first animation in my life, what it left in my heart was the original imprint. Even I am amazed at the ingenuity of the works of Hayao Miyazaki, Shinichiro Watanabe, and Toshi Kon. Even with countless "magical works" such as five centimeters per second and stone doors. But I'll still vote for clannad.

Just for it to add new meaning to my life.
