Summary:
Tomoya Okazaki is a third year high school student resentful of his life. His mother passed away from a car accident when he was younger, causing his father to resort to alcohol and gambling. This results in fights between the two until Tomoya's shoulder is injured in a fight. Since then, Tomoya has had distant relationships with his father, causing him to become a delinquent over time. While on a walk to school, he meets a strange girl named Nagisa Furukawa who is a year older, but is repeating due to illness. Due to this, she is often alone as most of her friends have moved on. The two begin hanging out and slowly, as time goes by, Tomoya finds his life shifting in a new direction.
Probably the most "sad" anime i´ve ever saw. The story completly moves you, and at some point you're so into the anime, that you even may cry with some stories. Truly Worth Watching!
I've also play the visual game "Clannad", it's pretty much the same, only with other alternatives storys, but the main theme is there.
There's also an alternate short OVA of this anime, where the main male character (Oka.) stays with another female character (Ky.). It´s really really good!
Also there's an alternate story in manga where Oka. stays with Tomo.
