What is a good/emotional anime like Clannad?

Clannad is by key, and there are other animes similar to clannad by key too: kanon, air and angel beats . kanon's exactly like clannad, air's a bit slow, angel beats is funny and gets sad towards the end. Then there's a 3 episode anime called 5 centimeters per second , and there's also distant star from the same person(makoto shinkai) . there's myself;yourself too. Try watching detective conan too, well that's not like clannad. Watch darker than black and darker than black gemeni of the meteorite too. u might not like angel beats in the starting but it's really worth watching. U could watch them in this order : 5 centimeters per second , kanon(2006) , angel beats! , air , myself;yourself , darker than black, darker than black gemini of the meteorite and then the rest

wow were in opisate positions... anyways here are some good ones i Like Air (by the creators of Clannad) Ouran Highschool Host Club (manga recomened to) Fruits Basket (manga recomended to) Myself Yourself Summer Wars there are some relly good mangas onlys out there like Faster Then a Kiss Love so Life Dengeki Daisy

Try True Tears or 5 Centimetres per Second

Maybe....Air or Angel beats...... I myself don't know much and wanted some anime just like clannad...maybe it was luck that I found these anime...they r gr8......!!!!

You can try True Tears. It's one of my favorites. Summary: Shinichiro is a student living in what would be a dream come true for most high school boys, but for him is mostly a frustration. A well liked girl in school named Hiromi has lived in his house for a year along with his family. Her father was a close friend of the family, and when he died they immediately took her in. She is popular and well liked, always smiles, is talented in sports- but Shinichiro knows there must be tears inside her. Having an artistic tendency, he makes watercolours of her and thinks about wishing to ease her tears. Yet he cannot bring up the nerve to talk to her even in his own home. She, too, is quiet and withdrawn in their house, quite unlike at school. Shinichiro is also distracted by teasing from his friend Nobuse for watching Hiromi from afar, a curse of bad luck from a strange girl named Noe, and being forced to perform Muhiga dancing. By helping Noe he hopes to ease his own problems, yet he seems to have difficulty helping himself.

There's been some good recomendations so far, but I see that nobody has mentioned Bokura ga Ita! That's a crime! It's really depressing at times, but the characters are awesome. When I watched Bokura ga Ita I felt like I was living my first relationship. It just felt very real. Yano, which is the lead male, is one of my favorite characters of all time-- and I'm with you, I used to only like shounen and seinen anime! The only thing about this anime is that you MUST read the rest of the manga when you're done, the ending is great & it cuts off halfway through the story! Here's a summary: "Yano Motoharu is the most popular guy in class, the school’s basketball ace, and highly charismatic to boot! No wonder Nanami Takahashi can’t resist falling in love with him. When Yano returns Nana’s feelings, things seem too good to be true and the two begin a relationship; but Yano has a contradictory personality which confuses Nana most of the time. On top of that, tragic events in Yano’s past won’t stop haunting their relationship. Unable to halt their passionate feelings, are Yano and Nana heading for disaster or can they save each other from irreparable hurt?" Also try "5 Centimeters per Second" if you're willing to watch a movie as opposed to a series.
