Clannad After Story

The anime series Clannad and the sequel Clannad After Story, are very down-to-earth compared to the sci-fi and fantasy I usually watch, but I thoroughly enjoyed both series. The stories are just wonderful. Both these series would be at top of the list of anime recommendations to someone who doesn't like sci-fi or fantasy. Clannad After Story is actually better but is much more serious than Clannad which is more comedic.
