CLANNAD is sheer, crystallized manipulation, lacking almost completely the agency (and therefore characterizing intention) of Madoka Magica's characters. CLANNAD places tone before intellectually stolid content, inflicting circumstances on its characters for which none of them can really be held responsible, and therefore aren't really meaningful, whereas in Madoka, the characters believably reject their balancing options because of their tragic flaws. It may be 'sadder' if a character suffers atrocities because they're pure and have no control over them, but it's not more meaningful, nor is it more respectful than a portrait of five autonomous young women with significantly damning flaws (a rare feature; especially for female characters) who suffer consequences tied directly to their flaws.
