Angel beats is AMAZING.
The only thing I didn't like about it is that Otonashi, being the main male character, did not receive enough air time compared to other main characters from Key's works, like Tomoya, Yuuichi or Yukito.... Especially comparing Otonashi to Yukito since both series had almost the same amount of episodes, Yukito had more air time.
But, overall, this series rocks ;)

I vote this episode half-half.

Everything goes too fast, way too fast in just one effing episode. And wtf? How can Yurippe beat up that many monsters with just 4 (or 6) guns and pistols? And this episode is confusing, but I understood the computer conversation part. Anyway, looking forward to the ending episode.

I don't think the ''love trigger'' has anything to do with either Otonashi or Kanade. Since it was clearly said Yuri triggers the ''love alert'', because she wants to defends everyone. It's rather vague what they emphasize as love, but apparently it's Yuri's will to defend the others that triggers the ''love'' whatsoever alert.

I'm still looking forward to knowing what binds Otonashi and Kanade to the world, Kanade's past, and how Yuri died, although I have a pretty probable guess with the first one, I still want to hear it said. =D

If all this is fulfilled, I'd have no lingering doubt to giving this series a 9.

- The same with Chaa, how he dissapeared? o.o
- Wait, isn't "Kiero!" a word for "dissapear"? Why Mazui translated it as "die"?
- Oh, Yuri's family name is Nakamura. ^^"
- Yuri's going insane? Yay.

Just... give me last episode, cause i don't know what to think about this.

They didn't unless it was done off screen. They were still holding off the shadows on the surface while Otonashi mounted his rescue mission.

tbh I'm a little bit disappointed with this ep. I hope the last ep will be a really good one, and not just a bye-bye and poof... everyone is gone.
The main problem with this show's script is that it looks like there is some mistery and there is never one. But the art and characters are amazing anyway, going to give it 8 or 9, depending on last ep.

Guess there will be mangas or novels to patch it up.

Lol, this is like NGE. Uncertainty leaves us to debate about these issues.

Well, it firstly gives a hint on the mechanics of the world. It also answers some of the questions posted by the previous episode. However, it also leaves questions for us to pounder about, which is good in a sense. Animes who give a definite plot is a big no no. (6-7/10).

Plot wise, it is not that rushed. In fact, the pacing is good. It did not dwell on unimportant stuff, and quickly leads up to the main gist of the episode.

However, one weakness of this anime is that it does not really reflect on the meaning of afterlive (or is it something that we have to think ourselves). On the grand scheme of things, what I observed is: "the battles and the struggles made by the SSS in the afterlive", but not about the concept of living itself. For a show that states "the greatest story about life, and whose story revolves about life itself", it looks abit hypocritical in retrospect.

The thirdteen episodes are just the so called introduction to what is going to come out as other forms of media such as books, mangas, etc. If someone wants to get a good understanding, he or she should read the books, or just participate in discussions about philosophies regarding this anime. In that sense, it is like NGE itself. NGE is a 26 episode series, but the way it protrays its anime is somewhat similar to angel beats, in which one is pushed to find the answers for himself.

Anyway, it is nice for a fact that they do not have a main protagonist or antagonist. It is a nice change compared to the many animes in which they have main lead A fighting bad guy B. -.-'

Summary: This anime is a great series (8/10)
I hate myself. That is my philosophy.

...if we're talking about which Key Series have emotion and which don't, then I rank Angel Beats as #2 most emotional series in Key's backlog. I've got attached to quite a few characters and I appreciate the drama more. In fact, I would say others like Kanon and Air to be rubbish. They did nothing for me, as the characters were nothing more than stereotypes who never manage to evolve beyond and make me care.

In fact, Kanon bored me to tears. So, even though Angel Beats is rushed and don't know where its arse is in the process, I rather have a rushed episode with neat ideas and twist rather than something like Kanon or Air, which are drastically overrated imo.

In fact, I think pgsel got the review of episode 12 right

I wonder if those pc's were what was making all the people vanish after they fulfilled their wish...and now that they're destroyed, nobody is going to vanish anymore.

Info dumping much? Way too much information in one ep Maede!
The end of this episode was actually really sweet. I almost felt something ache in my heart as the kids told her she's done enough now.
And then she didn't disappear and ruined the moment.

Kanade was so cute in this episode, even though she didn't get enough screentime but whatever:D
I cried when Yuri cried in front of her sisters T_T, it actually make me cry.
Bah, they didn't explain how Yuri died. I was expecting this answer in this episode.

Ah, everything happened too fast again. Not happy with everyone disappearing within 30 seconds; those two other girls from GirlsDeMo got to speak for like the second time in this series now haha, apart from Hirako.

EDIT: Reminder that GirlsDeMo's album "Keep The Beats" is out this Wednesday!


you mean Hisako. Yeah, All of the members from GirlDeMo got a chance to speak. Even though they speak a little in the episode when Yui dissapear, I don't clearly remember what episode is that.

Oh and thanks for the info about the new album! can't wait for the release:D

What's this about an album coming out? If it includes the BGM for this show I am so getting it somehow.

Anyway... the episode... I have a feeling I'm going to have to watch it again at some point. So much info! But, that's good, really. This is probably the first time since pretty early in the series that I felt this show has actually gotten pretty deep. It's been good before, but not quite on the same philosophical level as I'd hoped it would be early on.

Of course, once again it has to be stated that this series should have been so much longer. I'm actually conflicted as to whether that would resolve all its thematic issues; dealing with everything it's touched upon in these 13 short episodes would probably be a bit much even for 26 episodes, particularly as some of it would've contradict the other stuff. (Some of the motifs I read early on, such as Kanade not being a real enemy for example, couldn't really have been developed much more than they were without making some of the later stuff like this whole shadows business impossible.) Or then, maybe I'm wrong. Maybe it could be done. Maybe one day I'll make my own anime and prove myself wrong...!

... nah.

Still, good episode. Yuri not disappearing at the end... slight moment-spoiler, true, but let's see where they go with this. It could be even better. Or then, it may not. This next final episode is going to be interesting; at last, there won't be this teasing shadow of the series getting better later on to dampen down the criticism. (It's a topic of discussion for itself whether such a shadow has proven justified up 'til now.)

Sundry observations:

T.K. is still very, very awesome.
Shiina is finally doing what she should have been doing all series.
Loved Otonashi and Matsuhita casually taking out monsters while talking, even if it was a little OOC considering much Otonashi at least later gets surprised my monsters doing the same thing as the one from that scene.
T.K. is also awesome.
Naoi delivered another stunning comedic performance by being pathetic and ignored (haha, poor guy).
Kanade appearing behind Otonashi when talking to Yuri was somehow extremely cute. Oh, and she had some great fight scenes too.
Yuri fixing her uniform, lol. Why bother? We were enjoying the view! For like a few seconds, true, but still...
Did I mention T.K. is awesome?

The scene with all the computers was epic. If I would not have watched through the credits I would have thought Yuri disappeared. But then I went wait then the final episode would be very lackluster.

Then I saw the scene at the end. Hopefully the last episode makes up for the plot holes in the show.

I had high expectation on this series before it's airing since it's written by Maeda Jun. But after episode 12, I have to say that this series is the most disappointing one out of this season.

And I didn't feel attached to any of the characters, not even Otonashi. I even laughed during Hinata's confession, because it was abrupt to the point of ridiculous.

Too many plot holes, and odd, awkward scenes.

Since many people like this series, I guess this series is simply not my cup of tea.

Weapon rankings:
Fists<Pistols<Machineguns<Regular swords<Sniper Rifles<Matshushita's Fist<Fine Crafted Swods<Otonashi Badass-mode<Tactical Bomber<Shiina<Tactical Missles<US Army<Nuclear Missles<TK<Tenshi (Tachibana Kanade)<Flandre Scarlet

Please note: these ranks are based upon information, that mihgt be lacking, thus there might be smaller errors. Also note, that not every possible way of destruction is mentioned above.


On another note: Yurippe's monologues were a waste of time IMHO... They could have been filled with other stuff... like more action of the quintet... And they simply could have left the whole part of Yuri realising that she's becoming an NPC with an "I see, so that's what's happening..." and finish it in 10-13 seconds... instead of minutes...

Anyway... everyone's complaining about a mediocre ending... WHY? Mediocre endings are good... if you don't expect EPIC endings, then they leave you with a sense of comfort and warmness... I just don't understand why people don't realize this...

And I really expect someone to answer my question...
