Hahaha can't help but feel bad for Tomoko, I laugh and end up feeling guilty later it's a beautiful cycle.
I'd say go for Clannad, I thought I'd last at least halfway through the anime, but I was bawling before it was even halfway, not my proudest moment, fond memories though. Speaking of anime I've been on the fence with Kagerou Project, if it comes as a recommendation I'll have to add it.
