Yeah It is a good anime by the looks of it. Unfortunately, I'm a bit reluctant to start it seeing the sort of feeling it gives from the people who already watched it. I like cheerful anime. I'm actually reluctant to start any series for now. I'm only watching movies..Watch it, its great.
Spoiler: showProbably the reason why it's not tagged as a tragedy is 'cause nothing tragic happens at all. The worst thing that happens is and I'll put this under another spoiler tab cause this is probably the biggest spoiler if you're planning on watching Clannad. Don't read it unless you're completely fine with watching the show while knowing everything that happens.
Spoiler: showThe biggest tragedy I can recall from Clannad was the dream that Tomato or whatever had about how his wife died and then 5 dream years later his daughter dies. Yeah, everything ends up being a dream or an "alternative life" as a Clannad fanboy will surely rush in to defend it. So there you go, that's probably the reason.
Why are you all trying to put Clannad under the tragedy tag? It's a slice of life in purest sense.
I thought it was just weird it did not had one when I read the spoilers, of death and such. It'd make sense what TCG said that it was only a dream.
