This is a list of episodes of the Japanese anime Clannad produced by the animation studio Kyoto Animation.[1] The episodes are directed by Tatsuya Ishihara, written by Fumihiko Shimo, and features character design by Kazumi Ikeda who based the designs on Itaru Hinoue's original concept. The anime is based on the visual novel Clannad by the Japanese software company Key, and follows the story of Tomoya Okazaki, a discontent high school student whose life changes when he meets a girl one year older than him named Nagisa Furukawa.[1]
Of the twenty-four episodes planned for release by Kyoto Animation,[2] twenty-three were aired on television with the first twenty-two being regular episodes, followed by an additional extra episode. The last episode will be released as an original video animation on the eighth DVD on July 16, 2008 and will be set in an alternate universe from the anime series were Tomoya and Tomoyo are dating.[2] The OVA episode will be previewed on May 31, 2008 for an audience of four-hundred people picked via a mail-in postcard campaign.[2] The broadcast time was first announced on August 11, 2007 at the TBS festival Anime Festa, which is also when the first episode was showcased. The episodes began airing on October 4, 2007 on the TBS Japanese television network in 4:3 aspect ratio, and will end on March 27, 2008.[3][4] The anime starting airing in 16:9 aspect ratio on October 26, 2007 on the BS-i Japanese television network. The anime series will be released in a set of eight DVD compilations released between December 19, 2007 and July 16, 2008 by Pony Canyon, with each compilation containing three episodes.[2]
A continuation of the first anime entitled Clannad After Story will be produced by the same staff as with the first series, and will contain the same cast of voice actors.[5] The anime will adapt the After Story arc from the Clannad visual novel, which is a continuation of Nagisa's scenario.
Two pieces of theme music are used for the episodes; one opening theme and one ending theme. The opening theme is "Mag Mell" ~cockool mix 2007~ (メグメル～cuckool mix 2007～?) by the Japanese music group Eufonius. This song is a remix of "Mag Mell" (メグメル Megu Meru?), the opening theme used for the original visual novel. The ending theme is "Dango Daikazoku" (だんご大家族? lit. "A Large Family of Dango") by the Japanese singer Chata. The ending theme uses the same tune as "Chiisana Tenohira" (小さなてのひら? lit. "A Tiny Palm"), the ending theme from the After Story arc of the visual novel. The rest of the soundtrack for the anime series is sampled from several albums released for the Clannad visual novel including the Clannad Original Soundtrack, Mabinogi, -Memento-, Sorarado, and Sorarado Append. The cover art for Sorarado Append is also visible as the last shot in the ending video animation. This includes four insert songs used within anime episodes which include: "Kaze no Shōjo" (風の少女? lit. "Maiden of the Wind") and "Ana" used in episode nine, "Over" (オーバー Ōbā?) used in episode eighteen, and "-Kage Futatsu-" (－影二つ－? lit. "-Two Shadows-") used in episode twenty-two which is also the main ending theme from the visual novel.
