I had angel beats on my plan to watch list for quite some time and finally decided to give it a watch and complete it. But before I did I noticed alot on the internet people were hating on it and also calling it sad which gave my second thoughts but I still went ahead.
But I guess all that was for nothing. I really enjoyed it and didn't find it to be that sad as people say ( I still thought it was sad btw ) . It wasn't a masterpiece but It was still really good. I get that some people might not like it maybe not their cup of tea and the show has its highs and lows.
But again. Why do alot of people hate this?

Do a lot of people hate it? It has a pretty good score, so you'd think it's pretty well liked.

I barely saw anyone hate this, many critic reviewers on this site really like Angel Beats. It still had a lot of problems tho.

> 12 episodes is not enough to flesh out every character
> Plothole
> Wild tone-shifting
> Weird Comedy

It's understandable if it's hated.

Charlotte is an interesting one, the depression arc is quite possibly the best thing Jun Meade has ever penned (and I love his parts of Kanon), except then he/they go and retcon it, reversing all Charlotte's development and damaging the plot fundamentally.

It is still over all pretty damn good and both it and angel beats are objectively well produced to the point that they easily match anything today - On production alone both shows should score highly by any reasonable persons standards😊👍.

It contains regular drama not Melo drama, sure some events are fantastical but they operate by a system and any over the top stuff is played as comedy - So it hardly qualifys for melodrama status😅

Wait... Since when sad = bad became a norm?
People consider it 'sad' but not bad. Atleast not for this reason.


Also, it is one of the most popular anime on MAL. Getting hate was inevitable.

I think it’s pretty good. But I think people get bored with the SoL aspects of it. Or because it doesn’t have constant action

It's not hated and it's actually pretty well received. The issue is that it has some pretty big problems. The biggest one being that it's not long enough to actually tell the story it wants to tell. Also, there's a lot of plot holes but that kinda goes back to the not long enough thing and if we're being completely honest, the ending is cheesy asf. That's probably why people would hate it but it's not a series you'd call hated

I've always thought this series was well received lol

I remember my main issue being the huge cast and lack of time spent on them. I simply could not care for them at all. Could hardly remember names. Some just go as quickly as they appear and it's all somehow supposed to be a sentimental experience lol.

I used to see people say they dislike/hate the show but nowdays not so much anymore, honestly this much hate normal if compared to other series, I think it's normal and you are to focused on that comments

Surprise surprise, every popular show have haters, even the top 10 of the list. The more popular the show is the more people watch it and inevitably some of them just dislike the show and actively outspoken about it, and many more who doesn't.
Don't take it personal, even I liked this show as a young adult(like you), but if I were to watch this as an adult I may find this boring because I have different mindset and you cannot fault that because it's natural.
Even thats not the case for everyone, because It's not for "some reason" like you though, even the haters have different reason why they hate something, and they could even like different thing from show they hate.

12 episodes wasnt enough. It felt a bit rushed. That being said I adore this show. It was one of my earlier anime so maybe my score is too high.

Others dont like it because of people like me. Early anime watchers tend to absolutely love whatever they watch and overrate it (remember SAO and death note?)
He died doing what he wanted, no matter what, right? I bet he was happy.

I watched both Charlotte and Angel Beats and I liked both. Both made me very emotional in the sense that, with angel beats he was for the most part being left alone after finding true attachments, and Charlotte because of the amount of sacrifice he went through to make the world safe for everyone. I personally think that those who have negative things about it, it shouldn’t matter if they liked it or not. Just means it wasn’t for them. There are thousands if not millions of anime to watch and find as your personal favorite and hanging up on just one anime is sad in itself.

Angel beats works with metaphors all the time. It doesn’t explain everything so you have to interpret those metaphors by yourself. Many people want a story that’s explained thoroughly so I can see when people get turned off by it

The one real complaint that I that I have sensed that I think has Merit is there seems to be somewhat of a conflicting tone between how it starts, how it progresses, how it seems to solve problems and you wonder why you need more episodes and then it gets back to being dark again but only for a brief point before ending in the biggest tearjerker of any anime I've ever watched in my life.


However I would compare it a little bit too little Busters which came later

Angel Beats being hated? Absurd.
When this was being aired until the end, this was one of the trending anime.
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

I didn't hate it, but I definitely didn't think it was a masterpiece, so I'll weigh in. I think the school life portions of the show weren't super well executed, and I felt like the show didn't attach me enough to the characters to "earn" the emotional climax at the end.

The plot hole doesn't bug me a ton, but it also chips away a bit at the emotional impact of the ending as well.

This is all super subjective, obviously, so I can totally see how one might really enjoy this show.

The beginning of the show is good then the middle part of it kinda fell down alittle then the ending is just a massive tearjerker tho the story of it is decent

"But with a twist ending like this,
I think we can all agree this ended up
being a very interesting mystery

I personally didn't enjoy it because they picked the characters I was least interested in and made them the main focus and didn't really explore anyone else like T.K for example. I wanted to know about the other characters way more than the main ones.
