| I love both endings. The ending with Kanade was happy happy end but I liked this one a little more since it portrays Otonashi's goal of trying to save others by staying behind by himself. Reminds me of Shirou. |
 |
| i really am not happy i saw this cause now it makes me confused what the goal of this episode was and it makes me doubt if he actually was reincarnated and met kanade in the real world as i assumed at the end of the origenal show but i guess i see this as what happened before he accepted everything and dissapeared to be reincarnated and met kanade. 6/10 it wasnt bad in most aspects but since its short with not much explenation it can never get a high score. |

| Okay, let's watch the OVA, sure it will help... Wait, TWO MINUTES LONG?! Nah, just kidding, it wasn't bad for a 2 minutes epilogue. Well, we know that Yuzuru DID stay and someone else came to this purgatory. Kinda a sad ending if you think about it. I don't know if I prefer that there isn't a Second Season, I prefer the Series this way. Angel Beats: 8/10 Epilogue: 6/10 |

| An interesting alternative ending... If Yuzuru Otonashi did stay behind, he'll live an endless life and will see through and guide countless young souls' arrival and obliteration of countless of them... He's waiting only to guide them to move on. If he stayed behind, even if he still retains all his memory about the SSS and Kanade, he'll never meet Kanade ever again in the real world. I rather choose to believe in which they're reincarnated back and finally meeting each other again, even though they have no memory of each other. (From episode 13) |
  |
| It would've been nice to see this as the start of a second season I guess. |
 |
| Too me that was just a useless outburst episode, that didn't deserve to be alone but instead should've been included in the last minutes of the last episode! Would've been better if Kanade was there though. |

| It's really "Another Epilogue". Alternative point of view, something that can be described as "What if... Otonashi decided to stay and guide all people who would enter this afterlife-like realm?". Short episode, but its message is clear. I liked it. :-) |

| I didn't like this :/ 3/10 |
| i don't understand. still confused 4/10 is this an alternate ending or meant to happen before the reincarnation we saw in ep 13???? |
 |
| This is just a theory, but I don't think this "Another Epilogue" actually has literal meaning to it. Instead, I believe it is not a different ending where Otonashi stayed but it is what happened before the main series. Remember how one of the students in this short said "He's waiting for someone", the same thing was said in ep 9 of the main series by the one in the 2nd computer room. Couldn't it be that he was the programmer who was waiting for someone (and that turns out to be Kanade). |
| Rem is best girl |
| I liked it. It basically shows what would have been of Otonashi if he had stayed behind. Either that or this is what he did before he passed on. I think it's the former. |
| When they said "He was waiting for someone" wasnt it what the one guy in the basment said in the original anime? Is this somehow connected? Wut oO |
 |
| This, this is what Angel Beats could've been like. It could've been actually depressing. It had potential... I actually really liked this OVA even if it was 2 minutes long. It's way better than the entire series, despite it lasting only 2 MINUTES. |
 |
| There was no need for the epilogue. How anime ended was perfect. This feels like some sort of wishful shit. Ok, otonashi do looks cool, but still its unnecessary and kind of ruins the aftertaste of anime for me. But since its just 2 mins, I guess whatever |

| Man A lot of people have different theories...I choose to believe that before Otonashi meets Kanade in the real world as shown in the ending of the show....he might have spent some time in the afterlife....helping the people who wind up there(as shown in this epilogue)....I really loved the tv show although the ending could have been better rather then leaving the viewers with a sense of confusion...but anyways |

| The scene with Otonashi in the Student Council room deadass made my heart hurt a little. |
 |
| If this was made because there will be a season 2, then yeah, it was cool. But it's been 11 years so why would they release another season now? Assuming there will never be a second season, I didn't really like this epilogue. How it actually ended made me so emotional and this was just unnecessary. 5/10 |
| Seems like this is the alternate ending where Otonashi remainds behind to guide others to "disappearing" from this world. He's setokaicho now and is waiting for someone? Kinda sad in a sense. This was a good OVA. 7/10 |

 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| That was another great ending that could have happened. 5/5 |
| With this mini-episode, I guess the male MC stayed back for a long time, kinda like what happened to the guy that fell in love and became a program (episode 12). Except that the male MC decided to give up hope and pass on. And then once they both got reincarnated, they encountered each other in the epilogue ending of episode 13. Angel Beats could make a movie or a long OVA episode with that story line, with everyone re-encountering each other reincarnated and alive. |

| what if he is stuck in a time loop and the og creator of Angel Beats software .Fits the bill of the NPCs explanation in ep12.Interesting hypothesis but we may never know the answer |
| Now this is the kind of OVA i wanted so badly. Otonashi he showed me how to move on in life and to do something to accomplish the goals i desire. Now is a really important period of my life so this OVA really helps me feel better & gives me the courage to stand up against my conflicting feelings. Truly Got Goosebumps by his speech. Really enjoyed this a lot. Next Stage must mean the other OVA Episodes as those are the only left to watch. Score 9/10 by me at MAL. Finished on 2nd August 2024 at 21:17 Hrs IST.   |

| We can conclude that the blonde boy has finally moved beyond after he crumpled that paper. He said he wanted to stand up against Otonashi at that moment. That may mean that his goal is to stand up to anybody. Not bad! |
 She got him back. If you understand the characters well enough, you'd know she did! |
