UlasanAnime.com – The aspect ratio of “Clannad” is not 4:3.
While others might wait for the 16:9 version of “Clannad,” this writer intends to rewatch it regardless, using the excuse that it’s a show worthy of another viewing. Initially hesitant to dive into “Clannad” after experiencing the adaptations of “Air” and “Kanon,” the reputation of Kyoto Animation as a studio capable of delivering quality adaptations instilled confidence.
Regardless of framing, clipping, the Golden Rectangle, or the notion that 4:3 is not the intended viewing format, “Clannad” effectively utilizes these presentational elements within the anime medium.
It’s rather amusing to consider how Japanese television broadcasters conceived this idea as a strategy to attract more subscribers. All hail the otaku revolution! However, upon reviewing a decent selection of blogs discussing “Clannad,” this specific aspect seems to be largely overlooked. Perhaps most viewers simply do not concern themselves with it?

In my own dreams, the aspect ratio is never 4:3. And it shouldn’t be for you either.
