Tomoya Okazaki is depressed at the prospect of school. His days are spent considering the path which lies ahead of him, the shadow of his vacant alcoholic father constantly looming over his daily void.

He meets a group of strange girls at his school, each with unique social problems, and begins to gain perspective on the deep loneliness he feels. When the drama club is established, paranormal turmoil unfolds and hearts are broken…

Funimation describes the Clannad After Story anime:

An alternate path opens up for Tomoya and Nagisa as they enter their second semester and head towards graduation. Beyond school, they look forward to a family of their own, though not without facing hardships and ultimately tragedy.

After Story follows on from the original Clannad series and further expands on the themes of family, trust, and empathy.

HIDIVE is streaming both anime.
