Anime with continuing story like Clannad?

Question

Hello, I'm looking to pass the time with some anime, I like romance, but get annoyed at how they end. The reason I really liked Clannad was because it continued, and had a good depth to the story, it didn't just end when they went our or whatever.

So my question is, are there any other anime that have a continued story like Clannad? Now I don't mean a story similar to Clannad, but just how it goes past the usual R.A. ending.

Thanks for reading, and thanks for the answers.

Answer 1

What is an "R.A. ending"?



Angel Beats - Guy appears at high school and disturbs the lady with the sniper rifle. You'll hate and love the ending.

Mahoromatic - Killer android with tragic backstory is a maid and wants bigger boobies. Boobies warning.

Please Teacher! - You're married to your alien teacher. No problem, obviously.

Ah! My Goddess - A guy is offered a wish by a goddess. 2 seasons on http://www.hulu.com/ah-my-goddess (first episode slow due to character development) -- Ending? It never ends. Most recent OAD was a few months ago.

My Bride is a Mermaid - You'll know it's not a "The Little Mermaid" retelling when the yakuza show up, with the zany nearby. http://www.hulu.com/my-bride-is-a-mermaid

Planetes - Space junk collectors. Realistic space travel.



What is good really depends upon what you like. Explore and discover what it is that you like.



There are a number of places with assorted anime. Crunchyroll.com features subtitled stuff, including some brand new shows. AnimeNewsNetwork.com points out more things. But I suggest you start with Hulu.com because of there are popular dubbed shows there (although it's getting crowded with 4-episode samplers).



Go over to Hulu.com and look in Genre > Anime. You'll find an assortment of stuff.



First, register for a free Hulu account. This will let you add things which might be of interest to a Queue (list).



Then go browsing. Try an episode or two of things which seem slightly interesting. Keep in mind that sometimes the first episode is different than the rest of the show ("Ah! My Goddess" focuses on one character in the first episode, "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya" shows a student movie, "My Bride is a Mermaid" starts looking like a "The Little Mermaid" remake until the yakuza show up just ahead of the zany).



If you find something that you like, look it up on places like the http://AnimeNetworkNews.com/ encyclopedia, so you learn how to describe what you like as magical girl, fantasy, or mecha. Places like http://anime-planet.com/ have recommendations for similar shows.



You'll probably find at least a half-dozen things of interest on Hulu.com and you can explore further with related things. Some shows may seem kind of interesting, such as maybe a romantic comedy (romcom) where the characters or situation don't quite appeal to you, but that might lead you to explore similar shows until you find a mix which is more interesting to you.

Answer 2

Kuroshitsuji is an epic anime, and it has 2 seasons. I didn't realize this, and was really sad when the first ended, but the second season more than makes up for it! I'd definitely recommend it.

K-ON! is even more epic. It is extremely sad at the end, so watch it with tissues! The storyline is brilliantly thought-out, and the characters have a depth to them, but are hilarious. There are two seasons and some OVAs. It's one of my favorite animes, and I would recommend it to anyone with a love of anime.

Higurashi When They Cry is an intricate murder mystery, which is punctuated by hilarious moments! The characters are deep, and the storyline is so random! You have fun trying to put the pieces together, though. There are three seasons and some OVAs. You'll enjoy it!



Good luck, and hope this helped!
