## Production and broadcast
The first season aired on TBS and BS-i between 5 October 2007 and 28 March 2008 in 4:3 aspect ratio, and BS-i later rebroadcast the series in 16:9 three weeks after the initial broadcasts[2](https://clannad.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_Clannad_episodes). The TBS site lists the premiere date as 4 October 2007[1](https://www.tbs.co.jp/clannad/clannad1/03story/story.html), while the Clannad Wiki and IMDb give 5 October 2007[2](https://clannad.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_Clannad_episodes) • [7](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1118804/episodes/); TBS also scheduled late-night broadcasts on MBS from October 13, 2007, on CBC from October 17, 2007, and on BS-i from October 25, 2007[8](https://www.tbs.co.jp/clannad/clannad1/01news/news.html). The production credited Kyoto Animation for animation, with music by [Shinji Orito](https://www.edgepedia.org/shinji-orito), Magome Togoshi, and [Jun Maeda](https://www.edgepedia.org/jun-maeda), and sound direction by Yota Tsuruoka[4](https://www.kyotoanimation.co.jp/works/clannad/).
*Nihon Review* lists *After Story* as 22 episodes running from 2 October 2008 to 12 March 2009[9](https://www.nihonreview.com/anime/clannad-after-story/); the TBS episode listing adds the extra episode of 19 March 2009 and the recap episode of 26 March 2009 beyond those 22[3](https://www.tbs.co.jp/clannad/03story/story.html). For that reason, episode guides treat the two seasons as 23 and 24 installments aired, respectively, whereas [Anime News Network](https://www.edgepedia.org/anime-news-network)'s encyclopedia lists 24 episodes for the first series and 25 for After Story, since both figures take into account the *Another World* episode that came out on home video once the broadcast had ended.[6](https://www.dekuswisdom.com/clannad-watch-order)

TVmaze's guide places the Tomoyo OVA content under the same show listing but outside the broadcast order, describing *Clannad: Mou Hitotsu no Sekai, Tomoyo-hen* as an alternate reality in which Tomoya dates his junior, Tomoyo Sakagami[10](https://www.tvmaze.com/shows/6562/clannad/episodeguide).
## Clannad ~After Story~ (2008–2009)
The TBS episode listing gives the following Japanese titles and TBS broadcast dates[3](https://www.tbs.co.jp/clannad/03story/story.html); English titles for episodes 1 through 8 are from TVmaze[10](https://www.tvmaze.com/shows/6562/clannad/episodeguide).

The After Story story arc proper, in which Tomoya graduates and begins adult life while Nagisa repeats a year because of her health, begins around episode 9 of the season; reviewers identify episodes 16 and 18 as the dramatic highlights of the series[9](https://www.nihonreview.com/anime/clannad-after-story/).
## OVA and home-video episodes
**Another World episodes.** Kyoto Animation produced two stand-alone home-video episodes set in alternate universes. *Clannad: Mou Hitotsu no Sekai, Tomoyo-hen* (*Another World: Tomoyo Chapter*) was released on the eighth DVD on July 16, 2008, and *Clannad ~After Story~: Mou Hitotsu no Sekai, Kyou-hen* (*Another World: Kyou Chapter*) followed in 2009[2](https://clannad.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_Clannad_episodes) • [6](https://www.dekuswisdom.com/clannad-watch-order). Sources differ on the Kyou Chapter's release date: Bangumi lists it as May 24, 2009[5](https://bangumi.tv/person/2481/works/position/67?page=1&sort=title), and Deku's Wisdom lists the DVD as July 1, 2009, announced by the official TBS site for the eighth DVD volume[6](https://www.dekuswisdom.com/clannad-watch-order).
**Home video.** TBS later sold an After Story Blu-ray Box in a first-press limited edition on April 20, 2011[3](https://www.tbs.co.jp/clannad/03story/story.html).
**Relationship to the film.** *Clannad: The Motion Picture*, released in theaters on September 15, 2007, is a separate adaptation by a different studio (Toei) that retells essentially the same story as the TV series and the first three-fourths of After Story, focused much more narrowly on the Tomoya and Nagisa relationship; it is self-contained and does not belong to the television episode order[6](https://www.dekuswisdom.com/clannad-watch-order).
