Clannad (2007–2009)
9/10
Explanation of the surprising Clannad ending which left viewers baffled.

This anime was one that may have been represented as bland to other viewers but it also has one part that confuses many people that I would like to share a theory on.

So, if you have watched this anime, you probably remember the part in After Story (I think) when everyone is gathered in Tomoya's apartment for Christmas. During that time, Kotome Ichinose starts talking about her studies and a topic that is brought up is the theory of different universes. This concept is also brought up when Ryou Fujibayashi talks about her fortune telling. *If you want to learn more about this theory just search 'Multiverse Theory'.

This is an important piece of information that not many people pick up on, but I think it plays a very significant role in the ending scene where many people believe that Tomoya "goes back in time" to when Nagisa has not yet died. I think that instead of time traveling, Tomoya has jumped from one world to another because of his desperation to simply live a happy and fulfilled life. It also serves to strengthen the moral of the story which is that every person, no matter who it is, deserves to be able to change one's fate before it is decided.

Remember that this is only my opinion and there are many others that are to be considered. I loved this anime to pieces and I greatly recommend it to anyone who is willing to stay true to the end.
