Keep in mind too that some of the animators who worked on Clannad were murdered by arson in 2019 - the legacy of this show, as well as many other KyoAni works, is so important to those left for that exact reason. Imagine seeing your deceased coworkers' art get called "pedobait" by some stupid Westerner when the show literally has zero echii content in it whatsoever - absolute insanity.
For April fools, I have prepared something special.
