Nothing much to say about ep 1. But seriously giving too much Haruhi vibe. Yuri, the concert, the organization. sad.gif
Will watch further for the tear-jerking part.

well i guess it's already been explained in EP2.

Not the ingredients I think. But from their conversations, one could guess that.

Ep2 is better than ep1.
But I don't like both OP and ED. Too plain. OP piano part is good, but to me, it doesn't fit the song well. I'm easily swayed by the piano part.

It's Maeda's style. He gives you the light-hearted part first, then when you have your guard down, he will throw a tear bomb at you.

I think I've seen that, but I'm not good with remembering with who did what.

Well, to be brief... "I don't get this show."

But that doesn't stop me from wanting to see... uh, who was the main guy again? Anyway what I'm trying to say is to see his interactions with that angel, I'd like to know what it the story on her side.

Jun Maeda is the writer for AIR, Kanon and Clannad. If not mistaken, each series represents a different season, and Angel Beats is autumn.

I guess there is something sad about their background stories, death as well as Otonashi's memory.

Didn't get enough from ep3. Only the last part is informative and interesting.

It seems that Yuri got most of the theories wrong about Tenshi and NPC. It seems to me that they have their own thoughts and emotions.

I think as long as they still wanna rebel against Tenshi, protest for their unfair past lives yet haven't come to fully realize their purposes of living or something along the line, they will not disappear.

One thing I don't understand is what are the differences between NPCs and Yuri they all? It seems that NPCs have own thoughts and emotions as well. If obeying Tenshi would make Yuri they all disappear, why not NPCs. And they did disobey Tenshi and the teachers though.

I find Yui quite irritating but am glad that she was there.

KEY should tone down the comedy a bit. Sometimes it gets too repetitive that it turns out to be not funny and boring later. And it's already ep4 but seemingly still hasn't got into the main plot.

Remix My Soul, Your Beats! version. Sounds much greater.

I laughed so hard at the chair flying slow motion replays. This is the 1st time I truly appreciate the comedic parts in Angel Beats.

The pacing of the story is still slow though. 7 or 8 episodes left but still not much development.

I see. So the rocket-flying chair is the tear-jearking bomb Maeda throwing at us.
And Mapo tofu is indeed yummy yo.

So many things seem awkward and do not fall into place. Give a hug to your enemy?
Naoi's past is a bit sad though.

original tenshi got the passive skill "Overdrive", but her clone got incap by a single person? i wonder is the clone got all all the skill tenshi have.

Haha don't think too much. There are many plot holes actually. Some people pointed them out.
The clones got beaten easily although they actually could have activated Overdrive.
Why Kanade didn't use Absorb at the moment she saw Tenshi. The ability was developed by herself.
Since the Angel Player programme was synched to Kanade and Tenshi, why didn't Yuri delete all her abilities during their first infiltration?

But I knew I can't take this series too seriously anymore, not after all the awkward moments and odds in the past few episodes.

Full [My Soul, Your Beats!] and [Brave song]. Better save it before it got deleted.

Kanade is the god because she plans to give everyone salvation. And Otonashi is Tenshi because he assists the god now.

Oh Tenshi Otonashi.

Let's guess who is the final boss.

I hope that will not be a new character. No plot twist=no fun.

From my understanding;

There used to be a group of people besides the NPC that use to wander the place. Among these people there are a man and a woman which falls in love during their wandering period in the world. The woman then "move on" as to maybe her wishes is for "love". He promised himself to wait for the woman to 'revisit" the world but sadly she already moved on, he then despise the world and create Angel Player program in which he uses to turn himself into a NPC and with it come enable the reset feature in which when "LOVE" is detected again the program will execute an automated erased program to turn all NPC into Shadows and consume all Players, in which consumed player is/are turn into NPC, just like he is. Then the world is reset, the initiator of these reset program is deemed to be Hinata and Yui.

*Ranting post*

This series not only have a poor ending, but the whole series have many problems. Plot holes, loose ends, weak character development, odd moments, inconsistent pacing, cheap explanations. Having only 13 episodes is not the cause, look at the first few episodes, comedy totally out balanced the drama. They should have cut down those unnecessary scenes. Some of them didn't even serve any purpose.

Since many people love this series, I guess it's just not my cup of tea. Not exaggerating, but none of the episodes in this whole series has impressed me.
