CLANNAD - Announcement Commercial

On the heels of today’s Kanon finale came the news that Kyoto Animation is going to be animating the Key game CLANNAD. Rumors had been circulating about this, but the website just went live and they aired an commercial for it. Given that I think KyoAni has done a fantastic job with both AIR and Kanon, I can’t wait to see this. Heck, this commercial already got the opening song Megumeru stuck in my head.
The director is going to be Ishihara Tatsuya (who has done AIR, Kanon, and Suzumiya Haruhi) and the announced cast are Nakahara Mai as Nagisa Furukawa, Hirohashi Ryou as Fujibayashi Kyou, Kanda Akemi as Fujibayashi Ryou, Kuwashima Houko as Sakagami Tomoyo, Nonaka Ai as Ikubi Fuuko, and Noto Mamiko as Ichinose Kotomi.
You can watch the commercial Stage6.

    Very Cool. I really want to know more about CLANNAD and I still have a some months to do so before this comes out. Animation looks smooth.

    There is a lot working for CLANNAD based on that info alone. Ishihara Tatsuya directing and KyoAni animating alone would have made things successful, but including seiyuus with the talent of Nakahara Mai and ESPECIALLY Kuwashima Houko pushes things even more. Not to mention Noto Mamiko and two underrated seiyuus in Kanda Akemi and Nonaka Ai.

    So now all of the KEY works will have been animated by KyoAni, unless you count ONE, which was produced by Tactics, which I believe was before KEY’s time.

    Kuwashima Houko + Key game? I’m sold. TOTALLY sold. And judging from the spectacular job done in Kanon… I just can’t wait. ^^

    looks sweet. it seems more budget money was placed into the hair unlike kanon’s. will it be a 13 episode or 24?

  15. Chiu^2 at 4:33 pm on March 15th, 2007

    Hmmmm, looks interesting. I think I might check it out when it airs.

    I never liked the Kanon animation-style, same goes for this one.

    “I never liked the Kanon animation-style, same goes for this one.”

    You mean you don’t like KyoAni’s animation style, cause the designs and style are the same as all of their other works’, including Air and Haruhi.

    KyoAni is God!!!! The know what to do to brighten my day!!!! *bless them* *sniff* That’s what I need, more high quality story-driven harem anime.
