Clannad After Story

I love this so much that I could not not to quote it.

"An anime may seem like a cartoon; however, this anime is particular, in my opinion, influenced not only my life, but also others. After you watch the anime, you do not necessarily become sad because of a specific part of the anime, but rather, you become sad because you discovered something new. Something that you have never seen, nor understood without watching the anime. Ultimately, that something is what makes your sadness accumulate." - Akersar.

I might be picky enough that it may annoys certain people, but I am not that hard to please. I can be happy because of small thing that people don't even see the point to be happy about it. I love anything that have emotions in it. Let it be dramas, songs or even animes and mangas. My love for anime is blooming all over again, I guess. Was it abnormal for someone at my age still watching anime and read manga?

"Such a touching story, I never heard of Clannad or After Story before when I came across this anime and just decided to watch it as I was bored. I never imagined that I would want to cry on most episodes & I'm not one to cry. The anime displayed how easy it is for a person to fall after losing the most treasured people and the difficulties encountered when trying to rise above them, but mostly detailing the pain in a persons heart during such times. One word - Beautiful." - shillandparm.

English Lyrics

Im only looking at the spilling hourglass

When I turn it upside-down, look, it starts up again

I wonder if Ill be able to someday enter

The advancing time that only ticked away

Midway on the slope that only you passed through

Many warm spots of sunshine appeared

Here by myself, Im reminiscing

About the tender warmth

Its only you, its only you

Who I loved

My eyes tear up in the wind

And you become distant

Ill remember forever

Even if just about everything changes

It was just one, it was just one

Ordinary thing

But in the brilliance that Ill show you, theres only one thing that was fulfilled

Ill protect it forever and ever

The chilly days continue, even though its already spring

On a morning when I woke up earlier than the alarm clock

Youre standing there

Making breakfast for three

Its only you, its only you

Who isnt by my side

Up until yesterday, you were right by my side, looking at me

Its only you, its only you

Who I loved

Its a song that I sing

Only with you, only with you

Its our, its our

Time passed together

I dont want to

Continue on my own

Ill remember forever

Even if this town changes

No matter how much sorrow Im to encounter

Ill show you when I was truly strong

Cmon, lets go; well start walking on the sloped road
