Pretty sure Iwasawa was my favorite character when I watched AB for the first time. Such a shame she had to leave so early in the series tho.

The music and concerts feel so out of place for me... It just doesn't fit this fantasy/supernatural setting imo. One moment they're using guns, weapons and dying left and right, and next they're playing a concert like K-on! Feels weird, like they're just doing a bunch of fodder activities like meaningless espionage and whatnot, just so they have something to show for the 17 minutes of episode that aren't a concert. I still haven't managed to grasp the importance of what they're doing.

Don't get me wrong, the songs are great... But why?

Most interesting character leaves the stage figuratively and literally first. Shame that but was a good episode with undeniably good music as well. Hopefully the rest of the cast and story has as high quality as the songs.

This was a really good episode. Better than the previous two for sure. The music by girls dead monster is really good.

So the NPC's are not just some mindless NPC's they really do act like real humans, huh?

Are they going to show us a sad back story of every character from now on? Coz that would be too many emotions, I had to control myself so much not to cry during Iwasawa's backstory and song lol. And did she vanish..? Fuck.

Excited for next episode.

The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama.
Feeling half happy, half sad.

nope only some. That's one of the show's shortcomings. The MC, Yui, that blue haired friend of his, Lead singer of the girl dead monster and two extra person (Can't tell because of spoiler reason).

One more thing, watch till the end, post credit scenes. Many people skip that for some reason.

It's both good and bad that we won't get to see the back stories of all characters.

I'll definitely watch till the end, thanks!

Man, such a shame Iwasawa disappeared early. She was becoming my favorite character in the show. Oh well, she did finally find a place to let her emotions go.
"Molly Ringwald" out right now - check my Linktree!

I think Iwasawa's disappearance is the biggest clue yet to unraveling the Angel Beats mystery.

I almost wish that this character arc lasted longer, because it was a really sweet introduction to the "obliteration" mechanic of this world. Character building on Angel is also a very nice reward. Bit of a cliffhanger for someone like me who is concerned with the logistics of a world like this, but so far the track record of this show makes me trust that it won't interrupt the story in later episodes. Keep up the good work!

I guess music girl died because she accepted her fate. I wasn't her biggest fan so that's alright. I'm pretty sure Tenshi is a human

Also, when, at the end of the briefing, TK said "Get chance and luck!" with some beats starting right after, it reminded me of Get Wild from City Hunter ("Get wild and tough"), at least it sounded similar.


You are right, the lyrics 'Get chance and luck' are from City Hunter. I assumed it was a direct nod to the show.

So maybe they're all stuck in a limbo state, and Angel wants them to lead a "normal life" so they pass on to heaven or something? But if any of them feel fulfilled or are at peace with themselves, they also pass on. The don't want to pass on under the assumption it erases their existence entirely and there is no true afterlife, so they try and kill Angel?

I hope Otonashi tries talking with Angel soon. He still obviously has some doubt, and was against them barging into Angel's room and infiltrating her computer.

I can't help but agree with the one who started this thread. This is my favorite episode so far, and the song was catchy! I was literally singing along with Iwasawa.

I never experienced the life Iwasawa had but I kind of understand how much the song saved her from misery. It gave meaning to her life.

She got him back. If you understand the characters well enough, you'd know she did!

what an absolute gut wrenching backstory propelling the musical and atmospheric brilliance ; the solemn performance itself.
Hell i don't care about the story now .This had my old cold heart moved from the cynical self.Would have loved to hug the lead vocalist and say it's OK.
As a person who had a lukewarm childhood i could relate her drowning herself in the sea of music taking her away from the harsh life.
10/10.

The concert Iwasawa performed at was just absolutely amazing with her voice and her guitar skills and it saddens me that she disappeared early in the series.

More beautiful songs from the show…its very unfortunate that Iwasawa, a big contributor to the music, had to disappear now…right when I was starting to really like her too X-C
It was amazing learning her backstory though.
