Angel Beats

[High]

Interesting new show from the guys responsible for clannad kanon and air. Its got a strange vibe and a lot of humor, and a female terminator character.

[Dante]

yeah i started watching it, it's pretty good so far, keeping me interested.

[Zaraki]

Yeah, saw it on "recently added series" on animeseason.

Looks pretty good, but there are new ones that are really good too, so we'll have to watch them all :p

[Metal]

i love it atm.
I just hope he gets to be a kick ass mofo

[Kuro]

[Zaraki]

In the start, the storyline isn't always clear, but it's funny

The story is clear to me.
They died and they are in that world.
"That" group are the ones that fight while the other people act normal.

They must kill Angel, but im sure they join teams to kill a greater evil or something

Not kill Angel, just fight her, as soon as they stop fighting against her they disappear. Shes like the rest of them - she can't die.

My bad

[Zealot]

Really good so far. Minus the fact they plug an all girl j-rock band, which EVERY anime has done to death.

NO ONE CARES!!!!!
XD i love it.

[Kuro]

really? well if fullmetal likes it it must be good.

[Metal]

The reason why it is good.

They must continue to fight to stay alive.
If they are able to accept who they are and understand life they will go bye bye.
So far only 1 had gone bye bye while a few are on edge

[Kuro]

hmmm sounds kinda serious.. i really haven't been into serious shit lately.

[Zealot]

NO ONE CARES!!!!!
XD i love it.

You creamed for K-On season 2 didn't you:rlol:

I dunno I think its over done, every OP/ED has a song/dance thing now as well.

I think its more of a "they're there to finish their last regret" sort of deal.

Girl with music wanted to play that emotional song.
Guy wanted to finally catch that one ball he missed.

None others have come up with, and for now the main character is safe cause he doesn't even know who he is.

What about Yurripe then? She has to find the valuables? What a shitty way to go.

[Bullet Wound]

Well no, her regret is not saving her siblings....her not getting the valuables was just the reason she couldn't, so chances are if she ever goes its because she sacrifices herself for the group/the main character.

[Micro]

Seems really good. :D

[Zealot]

Well no, her regret is not saving her siblings....her not getting the valuables was just the reason she couldn't, so chances are if she ever goes its because she sacrifices herself for the group/the main character.

But the others was the one final thing they couldn't do, finding valuables was the one thing she couldn't do to save her siblings. Your answer is probably right though.

[Metal]

new ep is out.

I enjoyed it.
needs more action still

[Zealot]

Lol angel and the tofu was hilarious. Really shaping up to be an awesome series. I wonder if the gear sonic has a dildo form.

[Zealot]

It was a joke holy shit haterssss

[Metal]

Sad ep....

[Zealot]

2 ANGELS

[2DG]

Wow, ep 7 was actually really sad, you actually feel sad for that guy...
Anyway, theres only 12 episodes so only 5 more episodes.

[Zaraki]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO only 12? my angel heart has been broken :"(

[Metal]

AB might go into a 2nd season

[Kennith]

The shorter the series the better I always say. 12-24 is the perfect amount.

depends on the story.
Ermentar Gerad is a good one also

[Kennith]

Well its just the ones that extend past this usually contains ton of useless and unnecessary fan service events that give little to no carry to any of the character's characteristics other than their usual given quirks of any basic mainstream anime there is just so they can make as much money as possible and slowly suck the series dry of everything it's worth. Everything that extends beyond this should only be included in the OAV/OVAs. Yea, I enjoy some comic relief, but some are just not funny at all and makes me wonder how many more times it'll be used before people finally say, haven't I laughed at this about 20 times already?

[2DG]

The shorter the series the better I always say. 12-24 is the perfect amount.

Truer words are yet to be said.
I never enjoyed long animes, it's just... boring always the same.
I enjoyed darker than black the most and I believe it was 24 episodes.

It all depends on the story.
Some anime can only be a OVA with 3 eps and still be good.
FMA was the 1st anime i really watched.

True, True it's shaping to be more in-depth love kind of anime instead of action :]

[An_Orange]

yeah, this episode was saddening. I didn't like it too much :[

I liked it because it gives you the feeling of content making you want more and I feel sad for the girl who disappears forgot her name :|

[Zaraki]

It's only 13 episodes, so i expect pure epicness at the end :(

[Zealot]

How the hell are they going to get rid of 10+ people in 2 episodes?

[Metal]

How the hell are they going to get rid of 10+ people in 2 episodes?

season 2?

[Bullet Wound]

They seem to really hate the lead singers of that band....

[Zaraki]

I laughed so hard, just something you would realise so fast xD

[2DG]

season 2?

well, most of the time you take 1 season as 1 series of episodes, so maybe these characters get rid in these 2 episodes, and later on they'll get new people, new adventures, maybe new shit.

[2DG]

seems new episode becomes pretty epic again.

[Metal]

Not angel and RAG are now a team to fight a common enemy.
sweeet

[rokart]

i lol'd so hard in episode 8 when the SSS members each had to sacriface themselves to angel clones

[2DG]

Man, last episode actually made me cry.
Expecially the last part.

[Metal]

i better be seeing Season 2 soon

[An_Orange]

i better be seeing Season 2 soon

Yes! The ending was sad like all the anime's created by the people at Clannad and Air. Except they probably will not make a season 2 beause they like to leave their anime's at sad endings or cliff hangers.

[Zaraki]

Season 2 required or i will write a angry letter to Mr. Jun Maeda (author)!

You have missed the story? Read the plot:

Angel Beats! takes place at a high school acting as a Purgatory, where students learn to give up any lingering attachments they still have from life before continuing to an afterlife or reincarnation. While the injury or cause of death are gone, those in the afterlife school can still feel pain or other things as they did when they were alive, as well as dying again, only to awaken with no injures several minutes later. The story follows the main protagonist Otonashi, a boy who lost his memories of his life after dying. Upon awakening in the afterlife, he meets a girl named Yuri who invites him to join the Shinda Sekai Sensen (SSS) (死んだ世界戦線?, lit. Afterlife War Front), an organization she founded and leads which fights against God for the cruel fates the SSS members experienced in life. Their only enemy in the world is the school's student council president Angel, a being with supernatural powers who fights against the SSS. Yuri believes that anyone who follows Angel's orders and behaves like a normal student at the school will eventually disappear and pass on to Heaven. However, those who fulfill their dreams in the afterlife will pass on as well.

In the SSS, there are two sub-divisions which help in the SSS's operations against Angel. The first is a four-girl band named Girls Dead Monster whose objective in the SSS is to cause a diversion from other activities the SSS is engaged in, while on the surface appearing to be a normal all female band. This includes distracting Angel and a large number of "normal" students and teachers at the school Yuri deems "non-player characters" as they are not human, but look and act the part. Another organization in the SSS is the Guild, located far below the surface of the afterlife world, which serves to supply the weapons the SSS uses against Angel. Anyone in the afterlife is able to create anything out of dirt that they had memories of in life, and the Guild uses this ability to mass produce weapons.

Angel uses a similar ability to create her supernatural powers known as "guard skills", with the aid of a computer program called Angel Player. The primary one that she uses is called "hand sonic", a blade on one or both forearms that is capable of changing into five different forms. Other skills include but are not limited to: "distortion", an invisible barrier that deflects bullets or other projectiles away; "delay", which creates an after-image to disorientate an enemy in close range; and "harmonics", where a clone with a consciousness of its own is formed from the original. These abilities are activated by voicing their name; however, others like "overdrive", which gives her great physical strength, are passive and are always on.

The Guild is purposefully destroyed after Angel infiltrates the compound, but the Guild members relocate to the old Guild location, which Angel does not know about. As Otonashi begins to get used to life in the afterlife, the leader of Girls Dead Monster, Iwasawa, disappears in front of a crowd of people after a solo musical performance. The SSS find out Angel's real name is Kanade Tachibana, and after a successful operation, Kanade loses her position as student council president and the vice president Naoi succeeds her. Unlike Kanade, Naoi cracks down on the SSS and even uses powers of hypnosis to control NPCs to fight for him. Otonashi is able to stop him after acknowledging Naoi's existence and Naoi subsequently joins the SSS. Otonashi regains his memories with the aid of Naoi's hypnosis and agrees to continue with the SSS.

With Kanade a normal student now, Otonashi befriends her and invites her to join in on SSS activities. Kanade uses one of her powers to clone herself while engaged in combat, resulting in a violent red-eyed Angel. The clone replicates itself many times, but the clones are later absorbed back into Kanade after Yuri rewrites the Angel Player program. Kanade manages to overcome the personalities of the violent clones after awakening from the ordeal. Otonashi starts cooperating with Kanade to help the other SSS members move on after he fully remembers the details of his life and death. Kanade is reinstated as student council president in accordance with their plan. Otonashi and Kanade cooperate to allow Yui to pass on by fulfilling her wishes, but it is Hinata in the end who fulfills her final wish to get married that allows her to pass on.

Mysterious shadow monsters appear and begin attacking the SSS. Takamatsu gets devoured by one, only to reappear as an NPC. Otonashi reasons with the other SSS members and many of them agree to pass on in lieu of becoming an NPC, including the rest of Girls Dead Monster, Chaa, and several unnamed members. Yuri notices that the NPCs are turning into the shadows, and her investigation into who is behind this leads her back into the Guild. After receiving help from Otonashi, Kanade, Hinata and Naoi, Yuri meets a boy who tells her he was programmed to activate the shadow program when love was detected in the world. The programmer himself turned into an NPC long before. Yuri destroys the computers responsible for the shadow program. Three days after the incident, Otonashi, Yuri, Kanade, Hinata and Naoi are the only ones yet to pass on. They hold a graduation ceremony where they thank each other for their support. After Yuri, Hinata and Naoi pass on, Otonashi learns that Kanade's regret was not being able to thank him for the heart she received from Otonashi after his death. Otonashi is heartbroken after she thanks him and passes on, as he has fallen in love with her, but he too passes on shortly after. In an epilogue, Otonashi and Kanade meet up again in the real world.

I think it wrapped up pretty nicely, don't see why we would need a second season.

[rokart]

ending wasnt that sad, otonashi met up with kanade in the next life. The ending just had me doing "....wat?!?"\
I really hope there's a second season tho, Angel Beats is a pretty good anime.
