With their deluxe box set for CLANNAD now out of print and the final remaining copies scattered around a small number of retailers in Australia, Australian anime publisher Siren Visual are giving fans one more chance to nab themselves a copy of this series.
Dubbed as the “Final Edition” of CLANNAD in Australia, this will come as a complete series in a single DVD case (Amaray Case). This set will include the same discs as in the earlier boxed version, but will be smaller and take up less room on the shelf. While their website currently lists the set as being “out of stock”, you will soon be able to place an order on it HERE.
The publisher has also confirmed that there are still no plans for a Blu-ray release, like the one available in North America and Japan. There are no plans for a similar Amaray Case set for CLANNAD: After Story – although this seems to only be a matter of time.
About CLANNAD
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…
Clannad deals with the social dynamics of high school and the ennui it fosters, the bruises adolescence leaves on one’s psyche and the fear of being forgotten by your peers as time ticks by. Central themes are the importance of family, self esteem and identity amongst the apparent emotional emptiness of society.
