CLANNAD TV ED Sequence
Oh, just wow. I must say this was done pretty nicely. My early expectations for the ED was rather uncertain, since it was nicely named “Dango Daikazoku”, but they’ve done a very nice job on it. At the end of it, I even had some tears welling up in my eyes.
A discourse by two random occupants of #animeblogger nicely puts it in context:
<meganeshounen> How can a song about dangos be so touching? ^_^;
<totali> how can a song about dangos NOT be so touching?
Also, managed to watch a higher-res version of the CLANNAD OP, and I must say…. seems to be tons of spoilers thrown in there by KyoAni.

Ultimate cuteness.
Though I have no idea how this relates to the CLANNAD storyline besides the family concept.

Oh if you’d played the game and understand the story, the lyrics are a metaphor of the story.
Hope CLANNAD will be good.

“Dango Daikazoku” is something that Nagisa loves dearly while its popularity is nearly gone. What significance the ED animation has with it, I don’t know.

I get part of it but is there a full translation? My moonspeak is not totally up to the grade.

Seriously, this ED gives away most of the story already. lol Well, if you still don’t know the story, I guess it’s ok. :D

Am I the only one who thinks that ED is totally messed up? lol. Maybe I’ll just have to see how it works with the actual show.
