Is Clannad considered as essentials and masterpiece?

Yes.

Even just ten years ago I would say yes, but right now it's not essential by any means. Although I'm not sure why it would matter, considering that anyone should strive to watch ALL anime, essential or not.

I thought the first season was bland and that After Story wasn't good minus 3 episodes at the end

No.

No because it's rather poor overall.

Normalfag redditors think it and Muv-Luv are the peak of VNs though.

First season is bad.
After Story is straight up unwatchable.

Yep, quintessential zoomer cartoon that you need to have seen to truly understand them. Therefore it's essential.

Yes. First season is just nice, but After Story is the best ever in his genre with EF

Yes. Kanon isn't bad either.

No since any VN adaptation will be trash because of the bias of its director and the route taken to adapt.

Yes. It was made back when KyoAni had soul.

The 1st season maybe not the 2nd season though.

Clannad and Little Busters, yeah

But the nagisa route is the canon route.

Yes, it shares a spot with Steins Gate as the best visual novel adaptation

I love the soundtrack, I've only watched it once though, never really had the urge to again, would give me a huge dose of nostalgia though.

all love stories are gay. at least that one could be more relevant to someone like (You).

I actually value my time somewhat so I dropped it early on. Extremely overrated.

Clannad is an example of a very average story given high production values. As far as KEY goes it's easily their most vanilla setting.

Plebs think it's deep because of the visuals and direction.

It's still technically an above average anime for its genre, but anyone who calls it a masterpiece doesn't have any idea wtf they are talking about. Kotomi best girl.

Alright, whats better than Clannad? Whats the best of the genre? Please answer so i can judge you.

as expected a kotomifag missing the entire point of the show

the reason clannad is good isn't the vn cryporn harem shit in season 1, it's the family themes in after story
every scene with nagisa's parents is incredible along with tomoya's struggle to become an adult
