History Awesome / Clannad

* Nagisa gains one of her own in ''After Story'', when Tomoya is having a massive HeroicBSOD in which he's punching a wall in anger over losing a good job chance since his dad has been sent to jail... and not only she gives him a CooldownHug, but she manages to ''pin him to the wall to stop him from harming himself further'', nevermind that Tomoya is taller, physically stronger and quite healthier than Nagisa and not exactly in control of himself... Therefore, it's a big TakeThat to those who accuse Nagisa [[WhatMeasureIsANonBadass of being a weepy and whiny wall-flower]]. [[SilkHidingSteel She]] [[YamatoNadeshiko isn't.]] And she ''definitely'' earned the marriage proposal that followed.

* In-series, the fact that Nagisa admits to her OverprotectiveDad that she and Tomoya have had (offscreen) sex.

** And prior to this, there's Tomoya calling out to Nagisa. Starting from the end of episode 16, he begins regretting calling out to Nagisa due to their meeting and relationship ending in her death. It's just before the ResetButton is hit that he realizes that he'd rather fall in love with her again and go through all the pain as opposed to just let her walk away and never meeting her.

* Though it's also definitely soulcrushing, the fact that after having their [[OutlivingOnesOffspring daughter die before them]]--probably the most agonizing pain that no one should ever go through--Akio and Sanae keep it together to raise their granddaughter and support their son-in-law. Sanae actually ''refused to cry for five years'' just to take care of Ushio. People cite them as two of, if not ''the'', best parents in anime for a reason.

* At a meta level, Sekai Project's English version of the VN topping UsefulNotes/{{Steam}}'s top-selling new games the day of its release, as well as ending up in the top 5 best-selling games, at least for a few days. Truly a watershed moment for VisualNovels in the English-speaking world. Not to mention the massively successful Kickstarter campaign to fund the translation.
