Damn it, why does Jun Maeda like making me cry so much? I swear, I cried for three straight episodes. Hey Kyon, I was planning on watching Kanon, is it more of the same? Should I wait for a while before I do? I'm pretty emotionally wrecked right now. I need some Lucky Star now.
Not sure if Lucky Star can help me escape this, every time I think of Kagami and Tsukasa I see Kyou and Ryou.

I assume you've almost finished the second season, then?

You will definitely need to switch to something more lighthearted before you start Kanon... otherwise you'll be well and truly emotionally wrecked.

Lucky you getting to see them fresh though - I don't rate them both 10 for nothing. Enjoy.

Kanon is very much similar to the 1st season of Clannad.
2nd season is quite different (after about episode 10).
- at episode ~16, I was like Erk

- at episode ~22, I was like :\
(wait, have you seen ep21 yet?)

I see that I'm not the only one who thought the purple hair and personalities resembled the Lucky Star twins.
I'm personally more a sucker for episode 24 of the first season of Clannad.

After you've done Clannad, Kanon, I recommend following up with Air.

I think I stopped at 19. O_O; I may need a break before I can continue.

Not that similar. Similar story structure (arcs/guy surrounded by girls/etc) perhaps but I find them quite distinct.

As a whole, both seasons, I'd choose Clannad over Kanon but if Clannad's first season was only considered I'd choose Kanon.

Sounds like the second season didn't bode too well with you, though, Zinga.

You're meant to stop at episode 21, which is pretty much the end of the story.

Spoiler for ...but if you don't want to, open this to spoil the story:

Similar personalities to a degree, similar joke mechanics, similar school setting, similar moe ideas etc. But this is probably more to do with how Key does stuff.
It's different enough to be interesting, but in terms of the way things are done, quite similar.

I personally think Clannad is a better (or perhaps, more refined) version of Kanon in a sense (regardless of 2nd season). Again, similar, but they've improved on the way they've gone and done some things.

I enjoyed the second season. Just didn't really get much of a "surprise" should I say, since there's typically a slight sob story in all of Clannad's plots - you kind of expect something bad to happen around the later parts of the story. I thought episode 22 was a bit ridiculous - fortunately they do build hints up to it throughout the show, but I still thought it to be seriously out of place. I expect you and GLAG to think otherwise though.
