Clannad: After Story is one giant reference to the bible and, more specifically, the story of Jesus. WARNING: Spoilers.


  • 7 balls of light. It took God seven days to create the world and it took 7 good deeds for Tomoya to create his perfect world.

  • Nagisa is perfect and without sin. She never questions her husband who is obviously the superior being.

  • Like Joseph, Tomoya is essentially like a carpenter.

  • Nagisa is the Virgin Mary. She and Tomoya clearly never have sex because she still has to ask to hold his hand so Ushio was born of heavenly conception.

  • Ushio, child of the Virgin Nagisa, dies to absolve Tomoya of all his sins of being a terrible father and is reborn again.

    You could say that yes, After Story truly is... The Greatest Story Ever Told and deserves each and every 10 it gets for it's masterful subtlety in implying the message and telling of God. Amen.

    I'm crying.

    This is so beautiful.

    Thank you. For bringing such a wonderful realization to light, just as our savior Ushio thou done to Tomoya. Bless you.

    Even as someone who actually enjoyed the series I had to smirk at that line myself.

    I think they didnt show the sex part cause well...its not an ecchi or anything like that. I have seen another series that follows the same "story" as After Story (wont say which cause its a spoiler so good luck finding it! hahaha!!) and they dont show the sex part either. But yes I agree Clannad is the greatest story of all time. They are a few things I will always hold dear to me in life, Family,friends,memories,some material possessions that are needed (house,car) and Clannad.

    Everyone belongs to the fanbase, my child. Clannad fanbase is open to anyone and everyone. It is love, peace and acceptance that Clannad teaches us and we should teach others in return.

    Meta already mentioned how everyone belong to the church of her Holiness, but I think it is very flawed thinking to proclaim that only the fanatics who rate Clannad 8/9/10 "truly" belong to the fanbase. We should fight overly zealous fanatics within this church, lest we alienate new believers.

    I am rather sad to see several unfortunate "troll" posts (Drizzy, YuiDark, amichaaan, katsucats etc...). Please refrain yourself to insult perfection - it is rather upsetting to see Ushio be unpleased with such tainted words.
