Angel Beats Discussion

[mameks]

Last episode tonight, some more good news though.

The 7th Blu-ray and DVD volumes of the Angel Beats! television anime series will include not only the 13th and final television episode "Graduation," but also an unaired special. The Blu-ray edition and the limited DVD edition will also bundle a bonus DVD with the second "making-of" video for the series. The 13th television episode is airing in Japan on Friday.

A special might be nice, but it better have more TK in it, because that's the sole reason i'm watching this now

Either that or a fanservice episode.

What the heck was that ending ?

That is a lazy and stupid ending...

The phrase "Train wreck" comes to mind, but it’s really not accurate. Trains have momentum and direction. This does not. A better analogy would be a pack of feral chihuauas in heat. With grenades taped to their backs. Entertaining and destructive, maybe even cute and tragic at times, but ultimately a waste of explosives and snake food.

 

[Twiffles]

They wrote themselves into a lame corner, what else did you expect?

 

[TheWingless]

Well... If it makes anyone happier, the Keep the Beats album seems to be out, though not from the two big names.

It has the Yui version of My Soul, Your Beats! and the ED for episode 10 when Yui disappears. And some more songs that are alternate versions or some songs we haven't heard.

 

[ojsinnerz.]

Wow, the last episode just turned the entire show into shit. Ok, it was already shit to begin with, but even worse than what I imagined.

Spoiler

Forced drama kawaii moe ugu show with gay males and disappearing heterosexual lovers.

We also still don't know anything about the characters. They just said lolfuckthatshityo and ended it really really weak.

Everybody resolving their "regrets" off screen pissed me off, why does a graduation make you disappear ?
Its not like every character regretted graduating high-school...

Maybe in 4 years we'll get Angel Beats 2014 (like Kanon 2006

).

I have had it with Jun Maeda/KEY adaptations, first Clannad ~AF~ then this, the next time there is something by them I'll skip it (Air is still good in my book).

I disliked the last episode but I still b'aww'd.

Ending definitely felt rushed but it was a nice ending.

Spoiler

At least we know Kanade and Otonashi find each other afterwards.

Now to wait for the special!

 

[pitman]

I knew the heart thing reminded me of a movie (which I didn't even seen) called Return to Me

The whole romantic side of the story smells like cheese...

 

[Panzer Tacticer]

Heheheheheeh I DO feel sort of sad for all you 13 year old schmucks that can't appreciate a nice moe moment for what it is best suited for.

I'm 48, I recall the red menace, something which is a lot worse than all the lame fear drama of 9/11

Yeah I recall a world a shit load more grim than any of you have felt.

The show stumbled on ep 01 thanks to some very bad graphics gaffes, and hell even I jumped on the hate bandwagon for it. But some of the eps were damned good. The first disppearance had awesome tunes for an anime.

The show might seem rushed, but at least it hasn't been a 'didn't know when to fucking quit' series like Inuyasha/Bleach/Naruto where they churn out eps just for the sake of it.

I liked the ending. It was sweet. I liked that I also looked at the scene following the credits. Don't miss that part.

This might be the end, but then, it might lead to something else too. No I have not read any mangas by the way. I often make my thoughts solely based on what I saw in film.

I'm glad I gave the show a second chance, it was worth it.

 

[Raika]

I kinda liked this anime, especially the ending, was really sad. This anime could've been better if it explained the deaths of more people and elaborated on their pasts... It left too many questions unanswered.

The graduation did not make them disappear , they was just postponing their disappearance to spent their last time together :/

Should have been 26 episodes...

I see where you coming from

TK is the best
