Surely it is fun. I was thinking how these “interesting” side stories be placed aside as OVAs or extra episodes. We all like to enjoy such snippets, and viewing it after the main plot has been well done would greatly alleviate one’s appraisal of the anime’s ability to entertain.

Clannad is bullshit because there’s not enough Kyou.

While I do not believe that the side stories are bullshit, I can see your point. The stories when analyzed, do indeed contribute somewhat to the main plot. However, it’s done in a way that they could be removed. The thing is, those side stories have other uses/purposes. One of which is pandering to fan-boys, game vets, and more fan-boys, to increase the show’s popularity. While this annoys people who don’t like the characters with side arc, I think the overall effect was positive for the popularity of the show. Just look at all the Kyou fan boys going “OMFG KYOU’S THIGHS!!!”. I mean hell that bit of fan service was totally unnecessary plot wise, but that’s what fanservice is.
This is not to say that the side arcs had NOTHING to contribute to the main plot and/or theme. I could get into detail by explaining how each arc helped reinforce the theme and message, but it won’t change the fact that it doesn’t do it “enough” (For you that is).
Your point is valid and understandable. But for me who loved the side arcs and distractions, it’s an irrelevant criticism (Like saying apples > oranges, but hey what if I like oranges better!).

Indeed. CLANNAD’s charm, in my opinion, lies in its elusive profoundness of life’s ephemerality (with cute girls). Thus, the side characters plus the illusion world are essential in inoculating such an sensation into its audience.

I just simply think that it was weakly executed in certain ways and that hindered my catharsis.

It is a bit hard for me to express my thoughts without getting tl;dr so I apologise for not elaborating.

There is a need to flesh out the characters and world in Clannad. If you just focused on the couple of Tomoya and Nagisa, you’d remove suspsense fromt eh show and the world woudn’t seem as phantasmagorical as it is. There is a reason for the “bullshit” as you put it.
