My other complaint was the over-use of splitscreens.
DID THE CLANNAD MOVIE COME BEFORE THE SERIES MOVIE
To me, that cheapened the movie somewhat as I felt it was a cost-saving measure instead of adding other views. There would be times where a pan-up of a character was repeated three times in a row for dialogue purposes. I can’t say if it was my DVD player upscaling the image, but it looked great on my HDTV.Ĭonversely, the constant “re-doing” of pans again and again became tiresome quickly. The rainy scenes always had visible raindrops to enhance the rainy aspects of the film and gave it a realistic view. The different camera angles allowed the movie to feel closer to the characters as they would jump towards the screen at times. Toei did a fantastic job with lighting as well as modeling the city to look fantastic. While I complain about the character models, I can’t complain about the rest of the animation. I could never fully adjust for the different models because as soon as I got used to one, someone would get a strange face and throw my judgment off again. I wasn’t prepared for the difference in camera angles as well as background imagery. From what I knew of Toei’s prior adaptations, the character models would be vastly different and the story would be different than what was used by Kyoto Animation. I had never seen the movie before purchasing this set. The disc is in a eco-friendly DVD toll-case. The special features include production sketches and trailers for other works licensed by Sentai. This release by Sentai Filmworks uses the DVD version of the film on one disc. (The author of this post received his copy early thanks to RightStuf) The movie was licensed by Sentai Filmworks in November 2010 and set to be released March 15, 2011. In March 2008 the work was released on three DVD versions (collector’s, special, and regular editions) in Japan. Thus in September 2007 Clannad:The Motion Picture was released.

Since Toei Animation had made a TV anime series and a movie of their prior two works ( Kanon and AIR) respectively, they decided to let Toei adapt Clannad into an animated movie. In 2004 Key Visual Arts released their highly anticipated third visual novel entitled Clannad.
