Even just removing the stupid cat arc and the loli would improve it greatly

Saw the show growing up and I don't know how it'd fare if I rewatched it. Wasn't there a bit in the story that focused on one of the girl's parents investigating the supernatural? It basically got us nowhere. I remember watching that and thinking that it was completely unnecessary, but maybe they felt like they had to put it in to have some sort of "tie" with the tiny supernatural concept that the show makes use of.

Dropped it after her arc. Does it get better?

It's the autistic barefoot girl's arc, it's completely pointless

Just to clarify, if the arc isn't focused on Nagisa, her parents, Ushio, or Tomoyas dad then it basically can be dropped entirely without losing comprehension of the main story. In fact, in terms of watch time you really only need to watch maybe 4 episodes worth of content from season 1 to understand literally everything you need to know for After Story.

Jesus christ the cat arc was so fucking weird. Again, Clannad could have been 20 episodes focused on Nagisas route/after story and it would be arguably the perfect anime drama. I don't understand why vn adaptations tend to get this treatment. One thing that makes Steins;Gate a great adaptation is because it focuses on one route

Unironically skip to episode 9 of season 2. Thats when things get so good that it really sets the bar for not only anime but good drama in general.

the cat and loli were good & enjoyable though
