(NOTE: I've seen Fuuko's hair as light green, dark green, brown and even black. x_x)
Now, I don't have the full version up on DA now. I took it down, saying I'd only keep it for the blog. Special thanks to Affen92 for the sky stock. I didn't even notice the light sources error until a friend pointed it out, and as soon as he did I thought "God, yeah, how could I have not noticed?" (Since then I actually have been keeping an eye on my light sources in my work.)
However, here is Fuuko without the background.
Clannad was originally a PC visual novel (I'm not sure if you can really call them 'games' as all you really do is click through text and make the odd choice here and there) and unlike Key's two other famous works AIR and Kanon, Clannad had no adult content or anything remotely fanservicey. I haven't obtained the visual novel myself, but I've heard very good things about it.
What I have seen though, is the anime; and it's probably made my eyes well up and my throat burn more than any other series I've watched, particularly the Kotomi and Fuuko storylines (I won't spoil them for you by explaining why). At the same time, it really has some humorous moments, particularly with the comic relief character Youhei Sunohara and how Tomoyo Sakagami - ever the cool, austere heroine - kicks his ass repeatedly. Occasionally, Kyou Fujibayashi helps out, too.
The soundtrack is also very good - especially that of Dango Daikazoku/Chiisana Te no Hira (which sticks in your head and pulls at your heartstrings) and the opening theme, Mag Mell. You'll also catch yourself humming the After-Story (basically, Clannad's second series) opening, too.
And the funny thing is, I usually hate the school-days harem-romance-type anime, it's way too overused for my liking. Yet I enjoyed Clannad and even laughed a little and shed a couple (well, several) tears over it. So it must have something good. o_O
