I can rest easy that you're actually watching the original theatrical film. :)
Yes, Clannad is still in place. :D But it was rather horrifying to read about all the alterations. Mann says he wanted to make the film less sentimental, but taking away such emotions from the film is slightly troubling. What Mann describes as sentimentalism I've always interpreted as sorrow and I also think the Clannad song works so well that I'm sad to see it go.
As for the book - I've tried reading it, but it simply wasn't my cup of tea. I just found the way it was written to be extremely annoying. But oh well, tastes differ.
And LOTM icons would be wonderful. I want some from the ending with Alice . I love that scene SO much. I think its combination of music and imagery is just perfect.
