Yeah, Risa's route was miles better than Nadeshiko's. I agree with Steve; Mikan, Silvi, and Risa were by far the best characters, along with the rich girl.
I did it... I played After Story all in one day. Now my three-part Clannad marathon is over!
I didn't find the game to be the masterpiece many say it is; while it had its amazing moments it also had its faults. But for the most part it was a very good game. 8.5/10
Doing a three-part marathon of Clannad.

Wednesday:
Toshio and Nagisa
Thursday:
After Story
I am playing Clannad with a walkthrough, and I have a question about the game:
In Tomoyo's route, it says on May 11th to "save here and come back if you havn't done Toshio Koumura". Does this mean to save and continue playing Tomoyo's route after you have completed Toshio Koumura's, or simply save and load?
Well, if their plan to create a "wider audience" proves to result in failed releases, then you'd think that they would do something to please the current English-speaking visual novel fanbase.
Also, I doubt that they will translate any games not made by Pulltop, because apparently that is the company that they are affiliated with.
I played the routes in order, and I really enjoyed them. I didn't find the side routes a waste of time at all (except for Mizuha's), and Haru's amazing route was a great end to a fantastic game.
I keep my small collection of anime DVDs on the top shelves of my bookshelf. As for fansubs, I don't burn those to disks. The few that I want to keep are all sorted in respective folders on my hard drive.
I wish you the best of luck Zalor, I got over my Youtube "addiction" a while back and I've been reading and writing so much more these days.
Regarding deres, I think they are a fad that will die out in time, but I personally enjoy these character types and I hope that they'll be around for at least a couple more years.
