Before I left for Benning I made weekly recommendations to the forums hopefully at least convincing one member to pick up watching Clannad. Trust me, it is worth it. It is on an entirely different level in the anime realm. Every time I think I have a new favorite it quickly fades off into the background and Clannad still remains on top. Anyways, just watch it. It , in my opinion, is the best series to grace anime. Edit- It might be the best thing to touch any media.
