just so beautiful, at first i think its just one messy action anime with some emotional content but after 5 episode i realized its was so different. some episodes and moments will shake your heart . ending really makes me cry just an amazingly beautiful and sweet anime series start is some what slow but entertaining beautiful themes some inclusive characters each have their own back story last 4 episode really touching.

How to start things off, this show has a really neat theme and setting. And its hilarious! If your looking for a really funny high spirited anime then this is a great choice. It has violence, good back story's for the main characters but the last episode is sad, you see it coming but regardless it left me with a sick to my stomach feeling(thats how i deal with sadness i guess, i just want to puke for no reason). Overall: 5/5! The hole story was just really well done, it didn't drag on or leave to little, some may argue not all the characters got back story's but all the main ones did and the ones that were there and didn't, wouldn't seem necessary imo. My last thing to say is after finishing this, it feels like one of my pets or family died.. i don't normally do sad stuff but some enjoy this, i personally didn't know it was gonna be sad or i wouldn't have watched it, never the less no regrets :')

It'd be silly to say how one certain anime got me loving anime again. The truth being that I grew up with just Pokémon, Digimon, Dragon Ball Z, Monster Rancher, Yu-Gi-Oh, Medabots and even Sailor Moon. Growing up, I got bored of watching cartoons and anime until I was introduced to Angel Beats, the first anime I had seen in so long. I can believe it if someone out there tells me there's another anime with even better animation, but I really love the animation here. Especially in the opening credits. It's beautiful and I've never seen animation like that before. CGI just can't really compare to this at all in my opinion. The music is really different from what I've heard for movies and it is so beautiful to hear and whatever music is used for a scene fits perfectly. I found the show got me to look at my life from a different perspective, that our lives couldn't all be too bad as Kanade seemed to be trying to show (maybe it's different from what Otonashi said in the English sub?). It was a nice story and one I hadn't heard of before. I was intrigued with how different it was to the other anime I've seen. All the characters are special in their own way. From just looking at some of the characters like Yuri and Kanade, I can understand why Battlefront would've started, the kind of life Kanade had to live with after death and why anyone else would've joined Yuri. A lot of Battlefront don't get much back story as the others do but the show is still good. Why we only had 13 episodes is a mystery to me. The characters that do have a back story all have such great ones that make them stand out more as characters and make them more sympathetic. You could also say another flaw would be that the story could've been rushed but overall, I found Angel Beats to be a good show and I was glad to find another anime to love after all these years.

Honestly, I think this anime had a good concept. The story could have been much, much better. It was draggy and boring in some places, and too soppy in the others.I personally feel, a story should not force you to shed tears. A story should help you shed tears. I felt that the emotion in 'Angel Beats' was too imposed, like the makers wanted you to feel in a certain way. For me, it was just fake. It took away from the entire series, and i watched it only so I could finish it.As far as I can remember, I felt the character's sorrow/joy only in two episodes. Once when Yuki disappears and the other when Yuzuru dies. Otherwise the amine was pretty tasteless.Somehow, I did not/ could not connect. It was good in bits, but as a whole it did not quite make it.
