Feeling that there's nothing better to do, Tomoya aids her in her quest, eventually befriending several other girls. Through helping them all with their problems, Tomoya himself begins to open up, enjoying and appreciating life a lot more.
However, the second season, Clannad After Story , is where things really take a turn for the melancholy. Several years after the first season, Tomoya and Nagisa are now adults in love and hope to start a family of their own. Things become a bit more serious than usual when the daily grind of adult life starts to wear on the two. Later, Nagisa is diagnosed with a strange illness that claims her life right after she delivers her and Tomoya's child Ushio.
This sends Tomoya into a dark depression, as he leaves his child, who he's completely unable to become attached to, in the care of his friends. What follows is an emotional rollercoaster of highs and lows that makes what began as a simple harem-esque anime an unforgettably sad ride..
Clannad succeeds so well at being sad because of the fact that for the most part, the story isn't. The first season had its own sad drama, but nothing too disheartening. Unfortunately, both Nagisa and Ushio pass away, leaving Tomoya in despair and wishing for a miracle to reverse the situation.
Tomoya's kindness and good-natured soul make him a likable character in the eyes of the audience. Aside from building a strong attachment to these anime characters, viewers can also see themselves as them. In addition, the depressing situations these characters are in can cause viewers to think about their own relationships with others and the possibility of a loved one suffering such an experience.
Viewers feel bad for Shoko, but may also find her relatable if they or someone they know suffered from school bullying. Thus, watching sad anime means that finding a connection with specific characters can be used as a healing mechanism for audience members' own emotional or mental trauma. Overall, sad and depressing anime is the way to go for those who may need a good cry session and just be in their feelings for a while.
She spends her time playing with tarot cards, collecting crystals, and consuming too much pop culture entertainment.
