 If you liked Aria the Origination |  ...then you might like Clannad: After Story |
although in the exterior they look very different,Aria and Clannad are quite simmilar Both of them give the viewer that heartwarming feeling after watching an episode. Also both of them teach the viewer morals through the storyline. Aria is anyway much more less dramatic,because while Clannad can be very tense at times,Aria is always laid back and relaxing... anyway,these 2 animes are both a must watch,especially for the comedy/slice of life fans out there

Both shows have the same feel to it. Watch the prequels first.

Slice of life with a tremendous emotional plots and a lot moral lessons. Clannad After Story is more focused in romance, Aria is focused in the daily lifes of the main characters, both anime series tell the happy and sad experiences of the main characters.
The core of both series centers around their characters growing and becoming better people, experiencing a new understanding of themselves that become obvious in retrospect. The stakes of both are simple and down-to-earth (humanity is never at stake). The drama in both series is often understated (especially in Aria). They both aim to convey something beautiful about life, and if they succeed for you, you might change certain ways how you act or think. They convey in deceptively straightforward but profound terms the beauty and meaning in family or of teaching.
Both series are affected very important things that make us think about real life. A masterpiece is on the same level with Clannad: After Story.
Captivating storytelling that pushes you to the brink emotionally. Good themes that profess virtue and love. Also characters that you can't help but get attached to and want to see more of.
