I mean: a story about a girl who is shy and has trouble making friends? Yeah, cool, you can watch Kimi no Todoke or something. Still, the outlandish (one word: Fuuko) and emotionally manipulative plot elements (most of the backstories that were explored) weakened what might otherwise have been a sweet, unpretentious slice-of-life drama/romance.

Let's look at the individual components that MAL expects us to rate anime by. It expects us to have genuine emotional reactions to the 'blossoming relationships' between our bland protagonist and these excuses for characters. It expects us to care about these infantile, one-dimensional characters. This show expects us to believe that teenage girls act like five-year-olds. Unfortunately for this show, this means that it ends up being utterly contrived, unrealistic, and outright stupid. Here's the central problem with Clannad: it wants to tug your heartstrings, so it doesn't think about anything else.
