Clannad - Town, Flow of Time, People

[@Neputemu]

I heard this and watched clannad in 2012 when graduating from Highschool. Now here i am again after almost 12 long years with a wife and a child… and this song brings back to me a flashback of how my life changed since then. It’s truly amazing how a song like this can rush in me feelings like sadness, loneliness, happiness, and tears from when i almost lost my child. I think it’s time to re-watch clannad for a third time and cry like a baby again

[@SJtheMFZB]

I'm glad you're still into Clannad. I reread Tomoyo's route in the visual novel from time to time and just recently got to thinking that it should receive an updated anime telling the entire tale properly. I've already told Visual Arts/Key about it. What do you think?

[@riyadeshpande2028]

Holy shit! How did you mention Clannad when I was just watching the Ushio scene?!

[@endereye1255]

I just graduated highschool and have just finished it a few months ago. I hope I have a wife and child

[@SJtheMFZB]

@@endereye1255 I'm 33 with neither of those things. If you pay attention to America's social climate, you'll see why: vacancies in most hearts that cannot be filled with good intentions. It's truly tricky for any of us to find someone who'll stay because our country is constantly at war within and without. We didn't just arrive at ~30 trillion GDP by mistake. For now, you'd do best finding your place in the world that isn't inextricably attached to another person. Romantic love will come and go. Don't age before your time, though: if she truly wants you and brings no harm, give her a chance.

[@troycleanstheworld1236]

My wife is asleep in the passenger seat of our car, our two sons asleep in the back. I’m staring out the windshield watching the snow fall and the river flow past. Life has been hard lately. Very hard. For most this song makes them as sad as the anime did. But for now I’m the moment I am filled with hope. Things will get better. As a family we will get through this hard time. Merry Christmas everyone.

[@sadmanhyattkhan926]

No animé will probably touch my heart the way Clannad did. It pulled every string and there was so much to learn from this animé. It was so beautiful. So sad. Yet it made me smile. I felt so connected. Like i was a part of it. And i could picture myself going to school like them and growing up like them. This is a masterpiece.

[@ZzZ-nn3ml]

I tottaly agree my friend ,No anime will be as awesome and satisfying as this anime , I might as well watch it again , It's been a while since i last watched it , I pretty much forgot every plot twist and big scenes from it , Maybe you should too if you want .But damn it I remember the last episode and what happened there, If I can erase my little part of my memory that is the last episode :' ) .

[@ZzZ-nn3ml]

and also every time this soundtrack begins there is always something very emotional happening and makes me more excited for the scene , such a masterpiece from every aspect .

[@AlisSpark]

somehow you get a nostalgic feeling while listening to this. Even though I'm just 17. new people getting born. Yourself getting a teenager. Growing from teenage age older and watching the kids from yesterday becoming the teens of today. [Just think about it: the kids which run over the place now are born 2008 or 2009! 2009 just holy crap] Yourself growing apart from old classmates you thought you'd never part with. Oh yes. this is why we love Clannad. Clannad is the story of life being told in an anime.

[@RandomHelpingGuy]

It makes me think about my life. I don't know how to describe it. The soundtrack itself is beautiful. I wonder why I am here.

[@dragonpower0]

That's why its called "Town, Flow of time, People" to me it brings a nostalgic feeling of memories.

[@tetraforcetheory9717]

i could have said it better myself. Born in 97 "so 17 as well" and I feel like outside of anime i'm old crotchety and pessimistic but then I listen to music like this that just makes me feel peaceful.

[@mysticdan101]

Finished Clannad very recently, it was a rollercoaster of emotions and a series that I will never forget.

[@okluminous566]

as someone who has thoroughly played through the vn and watched the anime on multiple occasions, it is such a special story and makes one wish for a town such as Hikarizaka to exist. It tried so hard to save everyone within it, especially Nagisa, Tomoya, and their daughter, Ushio and through their collective efforts, they were able to wish upon a miracle.

My mom came in my room when Fuko left and I was balling my eyes out and she didn't understand why I was crying.

[@aaronfukuoka1634]

"I lived only because I was alive. Wake up, go to work, eat, sleep. Just repeating the routines drilled into my body. That was my “life”. I worked like I was punishing my body. I worked without thinking, wanting to forget everything. After work and days off were torture. I used money to waste time. Taking a look at reality, and it felt like things would break down from the ground up. I hate this city. But there isn’t anything I can do to leave this city. I lived so I didn’t have to think about anything. I didn’t want to think about anything. I wanted to remain oblivious to everything. I thought of everything as a mistake. The fact that I met her. The fact that I dated and married her. And the fact that I had a child with her. All of those were mistakes. " -Tomoya Okazaki Edit: Wow! 900 likes? Thanks a bunch.

[@ezupada5465]

I’m writing this for myself. When I come back I hope in a few years maybe I’ll be in a better place. Currently at a park listening to this. It’s nice out… Spring is here. Birds are chirping, squirrels chasing each other, people walking their dogs, children laughing at the playground. I’m just here… alone …. Reminiscing on the past. The pains, the joys, the bliss of it all. It’s been two years since my divorce. I never thought I would get this far in life. Let alone be back to square one. Whenever I’m in sorrow or just reflecting on my life. I go back to this remedy. Just reflecting what went wrong. How did I screw up this much? Will I learn from this? I understand more and more the depression that my father once endured. Why he drank, why he had his vices. To escape. I kinda wanna do the same. But it’s better to be loved than to never love at all, right? Whatever happens now I just want to be in a better place. This feeling right now… I don’t ever wanna wish this on anyone. I wish I had my friends to rely on…. But when we get older.. people drift apart. We are too busy in our own world. I am just tired of being alone. Always … tired. Future me if you’re reading this I hope you’re still alive. Please keep loving yourself. Don’t give up. Life is so beautiful, don’t let the mistakes of your past and the people that done you wrong take away the beauty that you see in life. Breathe and take it all in. Everyday is a new day

[@tyloho158]

I hope you are still here too when you look back at this.

[@cyberrr101]

I can relate to every word. And well said my friend, life is indeed beautiful. Every day is a choice. As long as you keep making the right choice, the past does not matter. In every moment you can choose to be happy, because happiness is a choice. No matter the pain. We all deserve to make that choice, I wish you the best. You are enough just as you are now. Simply making the choice to exist is more than enough. This world works us too hard but remember our core - we are only human.

Kelphy X You have a good point. I too am sick of internet slang. It's just not language anymore. As for the video, I have a few problems. Those being I get easily and strongly attached emotionally to things and people, I also get more emotional than a normal person would. I get 8 seconds into this and I start to cry.

sora kun is using "feel" as a noun. He knows that feel that you guys are having when listening to this song. I also know of this feel, I am feeling this feel right now. One of the definitions of the word feel is:(noun) the impression given by something.

[@xXnazmanXx]

when u begin watching, this is the first song you hear, as Tomyo explains the pain he's walking through. You never realise, but this song is sowed onto you, apart of you, maybe made a whole new person. But this song, it can't fade, its what made you. Made you realise the pain your in. and makes it your call on deciding on whether if you should accept the pain. or live the agony of knowing the dark future. just choose wisely. Its yours to choose

[@ryful_z3]

Easily one my favorite songs from the vn. Everyone talks about how sad and melancholy it can be but I always thought the song had a sense of freedom to it. Like you could go anywhere but you need some time to think about where you should go and how you should get there. That aspect gives me a strangely powerful feeling.

[@yunalesca_night_sky8998]

I feel like it’s a combination of different feelings. Melancholy is mostly what I feel when listening to this, but I feel calm at the same time listening to it, and I start to remember the past, and how I’ve been feeling since then, and the things I used to do.

[@yurdo]

Remember there’s two parts of Clannad. Clannad Clannad: After Story Including the OVA with it being 2 episodes that don’t include nagisa with Tomoya as a love partner. If it made you cry or not Clannad showed how reality can be in the spectrum of both good and bad. •Watching the two people you care so much in the world die. Or •Living life peaceful with the family you created. Both points still show sadness and understanding that the character have to endure and how they go by life with or without someone. That being said Clannad:AS really provided a lot of understanding moments people can relate to at any age, from a son not acknowledging his father until he knows his past to forgive him. A husband who loses his wife during birth and neglects his daughter for 5 years until they meet up again and bond back together. And many more hardships anyone can face, it’s a work of art honestly for how it was created.

[@mfvicli]

Can't get through a single day without listening to this song.

[@retrogamelord3763]

This has to be my favorite track from the entire series. It gives you a sense of warmth, familiarity, and life. It's hard to explain. As I listen to this song, I remember everything that has happened up to this point; the good and the bad. It feels like time has come to a halt. Someday, I just want to find an empty field in the middle of nowhere and listen to this amazing piece.

[@am4x]

Exactly!

[@Logansimms120]

No matter how much time passes, we'll always cherish those memories.. No matter how much time passes, those wounds will never heal completely.. No matter how much time passes, we'll always be wishing to experience them once again.. Those memories, bitter-sweet memories..

I just can't believe that only after listening to this ost after 2-3 months of finishing the series I started crying uncontrolably. I am a grown-ass man, but this just reactivated some sort of impulse and pain I felt when I watched it the first time. This is so powerful.

[@goto67840]

man this hits different rn i am laying in bed of my room and its raining outside i watched clannad about two years ago and it feels emotional thinking aboutt those times i was holding on good friendships and all and now i have finished my secondary school and i feel like time has gone by really quickly now i am going for my higher educations i finished my board exams and all. i dont feel sad but i dont feel happy either but i think it will be better clannad has made me realized to hold your relations like treasure because the friends thaat i was really close with 2 years ago we dont talk anymore we grew out of that state and i realized that life really flows by like a river and i will keep growing as a person its made me realize that family will hold on to you no matter what and also that life isnt as long as i thought it was because i am not a kid anymore i am a teenager and i will reach 18 next year its crazy to think that the days when i was a kid is already over i will later have a career and get married and have kids

[@ryanegan4243]

When I think of Clannad, this is always the one song that comes to mind. The impact this VN/anime gave to me has made me contemplate deeply about life, death, and my very existence. It saddens me greatly, yet.. it makes me feel whole at the same time. There will never be another anime that’ll have the same feeling as Clannad has. This anime is truly a singularity among all the other anime that exist. Unquestionably the most emotionally important anime in my life, and will probably always be the most important

[@taran8845]

The orange sunset dazzling beyond the horizon... City scapes protecting the clouds and the majestic tree cast as a sillouette upon the scenery... Structures adding to the surrounding as you wonder if life will stay constant or change... Even after changing, you know that somethings never change and that is what will be a part of you forever. This is what i felt as wind blew past me while i sat in my living room window.

[@DieserLderbinich]

As soon i heard this melody i knew this anime is something special

[@unsapient2197]

God just listening to this now is absolutely destroying me. This song could already make me cry anyway, but now this recent tragedy just adds a whole other layer of sadness. Tomoya had initially crumbled and felt bitter towards the world for years after experiencing the terrible and sudden loss of of a loved one; however, even if it took him over four years, he eventually was able to pick himself back up and start living his life to the fullest once again. In the same way, it is my desperate hope that the surviving members of kyoani wont let this horrible tragedy control their life. It will always be a part of them to be sure (much like how Tomoya even after recovering still always keeps his deceased loved one in his thoughts), I just hope that they will be able to find new meaning in their life. Taking as many days, months, and years they need to grieve and recover (both physically and mentally) will of course be more than warrented for the staff, but much as Tomoya was eventually able to pick himself back up (even if it took him 4 years), I hope that the creative spark that has brought the studio this far has not been permanently extinguished. I know this isnt exactly a perfect comparison, but the fact that just this show alone has had such a great impact on the way Ive lived my life until now is living proof of how much their legacy has positively affected the world. Even if it turns out that Kyoani is unable to recover from this, the beautiful and immortal legacy they have already left behind is what needs to be remembered over all else. {Sorry for the ludicriously long post, I just had no better place to post this and had to get it out my system}

[@XGhostReignX]

First time watching Clanned when I started middle school, now I'm grown up in the Military and listening to this feels like I'm revisiting my childhood.

[@Adol3]

This song captures the mood of the empty streets around the world during the pandemic. Emtpy, souless, a shell of its former self, and a desire to return things to how they were.

[@himacho8771]

clannad ost is the definition of nostalgia

[@spiele_maus]

How can such a simple song create such emotions. Happiness, sadness, nostalgia…all at the same time

[@endereye1255]

Having an abusive dad like Tomoya’s made the scenes with him unbearably upsetting cause it hit so close to home. I had moved out at 18 and was happy. I hadn’t visited him in over a month and once I returned, the place was a mess because he relied on me doing so much of the housework (like food prep, laundry, dishes, cleaning, etc). I remember as a kid he’d always tell me how useless and worthless I was and he’d beat me a lot just cause he felt like it, and because of that I used to relish the thought of one day leaving and seeing him struggle without me. Contrary to what I thought, all I felt was guilt and sadness over his situation. Maybe one day I can forgive my dad the way Tomoya did because in the end he had a hard life, and he’d just take his anger out on me. It’s so hard to forgive and forget. I just wish that once I have a kid, I can treat her/him the way I was never treated, and learn from the mistakes of my own father instead of falling into the same cycle of self harm and depression. Clannad has made me self reflect so much it’s unbelievable for just an anime

I heard this song come while listening to a VN playlist and had to stop what I was doing and just listen to it. Slowly memories of the show came back to me and I got more and more teary eyed. This show really packed a whallop. I can hardly see what I'm typing.

[@d0d0b1rd]

I want to leave my mark here, down in this comment section. I want to see how I feel about this series years from now. Clannad is something I first experienced when I was about 7. I am turning 19 soon. I have rewatched it a few times as I got older, and even played the visual novel. As I've grown, Clannad has only become more and more special. When I was younger, I laughed at the more childish jokes, and cried over the deaths. A little later, my parents got divorced, and the scenes with Tomoya and his father started to hit me. A couple years pass, and someone very close to me had killed themselves. This was the second person close to me to take their life, but it was only at this age that I was able to fully comprehend the heaviness. I cried harder at Tomoya's losses (and shed tears at the end of Tomoyo After, for those who've played the VN you will understand). Highschool came around, and I began to contemplate what I was doing, and where I was heading. Lost, just like Tomoya. I developed extremely bad social anxiety and grew restless. I realized just how special it was to have someone like Nagisa, Sunohara, and the others in your life, and how at the time, Tomoya didn't. Fast forward, I am nearing graduation, and still feel lost. I go back to Clannad, and see how Tomoya, even after finding what was special to him, still is kind of just floating through life. This is okay, I realize. I don't need to make a lot of money, I just need to be happy. I will do what makes me happy. I will be with those who make me happy. I graduate, now in college. I still haven't found what's "special" to me, but I think I will eventually. I will continue to be kind to others when I can, just like Tomoya. I used to hate everything around me, this town. But I've slowly come to appreciate it. There's a lot of bad memories here, and I've lost so many things living in this town. But I will gain more, and I will strive to fill the rest of my time here with happier memories. Thank you Key, Jun Maeda, and Clannad. I've grown up with this series, and will continue to do so. Even if I eventually have a family of my own, this series will stick with me.

i watched this when i was 12 years old.. i am 24 now. how time just flies.

[@directions34]

Clannad will always be number one in my list. Not because of the feels you get but simply because it's probably the only anime wherein we can relate our situations in real life and at the same time, we manage to open our eyes and realize how life can change in a bliss. That you can't always have what you want. Life is unfair and we just have to deal with it. And as long as you have people, or even just a single individual around supporting you, you should never, ever, give up no matter what. Plus, we gotta admit, the composers of the BGM's are basically perfect in doing their job. I need more of this kind of anime. Because titans, ninjas, wizards, supernatural powers and such never amuse me.

[@BOOhaha96]
