Clannad gets alot of hate for having forced drama. Stuff like Fuko's arc, Kotomi's arc, Misae's arc, Nagisa's constant sickness (forced or not, i still cried like a baby during this stuff). Yet it is impossible to deny the fact that there are some really good stuff, things that people can easily relate to and aren't forced at all, like Yoshino's arc, Tomoya's relationship with his father and later Ushio, or end of Clannad with Akio's speech about dreams in life. It really is an amazing series.
