well i was not expecting that

so this isnt going to be a typical review, (mostly because i suck at writing reviews) a lot of people have commented on the lack of episodes and the effect that had on over half of the characters being totally under developed due to time constraints (couldn't agree more), nor is this going to be a c…

So... it was unforgettable, I didn't think it would be so great.

Even in the darkest depths of life, there will be a time that you'll find your greatest treasure.

Life is really cruel, isn’t it? Everybody wants to live a happy life. Everyone has their resolve and purpose to live their life to the fullest. We don’t have the power to know when or how we will die. That’s why we cherish every moment that we have as much as possible. But the cruel part is, that t…

High school life is something precious, but should not be eternal

During our high school lives, we may hold different opinions and see the world from a different perspective. If without the guidance of our parents or guardians, we would've believed that we ourselves are the definition of "justice" and carry out any actions we deem to be necessary in order to uphel…

"I could describe this show with just three words: sad, dumb, and fun."

<a> __"It's not only about after-life story, but it's also about the past, present and the future."__ Angel Beats!...

Comedic and emotional masterpiece that'll make you laugh and cry.

***Spoilers Of Course*** Angel Beats! will have you laughing for minutes on end, yet it will also have you sobbing for hours on end. Angel Beats! is another of Key's wonderful stories, for the most part, it is a comedic drama with a few action scene here and there, throughout the 13 Episodes, we mo…

Amazing Show! Develops Characters Well, and Tells A Story Incredibly Well.

Angel Beats! ____ __Pros__ • Angel Beats! was one of the first anime I watched and was honestly a great experience for me as someone just getting into anime. _(Development And Momentum)_ • It does everything that a good story and show should do. Throughout the 12 episodes, you get amazing charac…

RevisionaryRevisionary70/100

Although ambitious, the show stumbles when it matters most in terms of characterization and plot development.

“Angel Beats”’ status as one of the most popular and well-known anime out there is indisputable. Anyone who is looking for a “sad anime” will undoubtedly run across this title in some form or another. As such, I went into this show with high expectations given the hype surrounding the show over the…

Angel Beats! is an anime that you’ve probably heard or been recommend A LOT of times, and for good reason. While the beginning might of felt slow for some, it had consistently k…

Anime doesn't have to be perfect to become special.

<b>Angel Beats! isn't a perfect anime, but it's one of the few that left a lasting impression on me.</b> SPOILERS! __Biggest issue__ for me was the pacing, with only 13 episodes, the story often felt rushed, and there simply wasn't enough time to properly develop every character, some events happe…

The bigger they are, the harder they fall.

WARNING: Contains spoilers. I'll be upfront: I don't like crybait anime. It's not that I don't feel emotional responses to works of fiction, and yes, some anime have even gotten me to tear up a bit, but there's a certain kind of work of fiction that tells you how to feel rather than merely expressi…

Emblematic of a specific time in anime history. An enjoyable and bugged out series that has a tone problem.

A beautiful portrayal of human depth of emotion.

# __Introduction__ Angel Beats is a lovely story portraying a range of human emotions. It doesn't take itself too seriously though, and the blend of humor, beauty, and emotional depth was rendered with a degree of success rarely seen. `——` # __Story__ > Rating: **98** The story was overall, bea…

Sometimes funny, a lot of times sad, and all throughout inspiring.

# ~~~TL;DR~~~ Consider it a 13 episodes long cancer ad, but in the best possible way. First it's funny, then it becomes more and more tragic, and by the end you're sobbing like a little baby and yet feel like you could save the world. I find this to be rather positive and encourage everyone who agre…

Meaning in life, in death, and in mabo tofu

~~~My first exposure to Key's work is generally considered their most unorthodox. An anime cut short of its intended runtime, with guns and action and mystery... this can hardly be considered Key at this point, can it? Well regardless, it may not stand the test of time in many ways, but it still has…

The Perfect Length for a Very Unique, Very Memorable Emotional Drama

One of the biggest complaints I hear about Angel Beats is that it was cut way too short and needed at least a two-cour season to tell its story. I get where people are coming from, especially if they liked one of the many characters in this ensemble, but I couldn’t disagree more. I think the pacing…

Melhor anime que mexe com o emocional das pessoas já criado!!!

A premissa desse anime aparentemente é bem genérico e sem muito que diferencia-lo de um anime slice of life normal. Um anime slice of life de vida acadêmica já é algo bem frequente e genérico, tanto é que podemos considerar esse tipo de obra algo saturado e nem um pouco criativo. muitos dos animes…

A show with compelling commentary on life, and a breath of fresh air for the average watcher.

I have been watching anime for a little over 3 years now, and my first review is for one that doesn't break into my personal favorites, but one I will surely remember. This review will simply discuss my thoughts on the general elements of the show, rather than character analyses or comprehensive epi…

A high school purgatory story with a recurring theme in Jun Maeda's Angel Beats!

<p align= "justify">Jun Maeda is known for his methodology, approach, and style in his visual novels. His trademark is also prominently featured in Angel Beats!, and on the surface might seem like a good thing. If the audience remembers the whole concept of high school purgatory, they will think the…

Lived up to the hype until the ending

_FIRST IMRPESSIONS:_ Obviously, this anime is one of the most popular of them all, overhyped to all **** and at the centre of most weeb culture at the time. When it was at its peak, there wasn’t a time when I wasn’t hearing about how good this anime was. Overhyping a series directly, for me at least…

My review of the anime Angel Beats

Yuzuru Otonashi has a problem. He’s just woken up on the ground outside of a strange school, to find out that his unconscious body has been guarded over by an even stranger girl wielding a gun that’s bigger than she is, and the only thing he remembers is his name. But before he can ask what the ****…
