Angel Beats https://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/anime/10/22061l.jpg @Kateee Angel Beats gets a bit of a bad rap, but personally I was really into just about everything about it. The production values are just awesome - it looks great, has a fantastic soundtrack, and some of the best OPs and EDs out there. The cast is colorful and memorable, and I like most of them (Iwasawa being the exception. She kinda sucks, and her episode is lame). The shows pretty fast-paced, so it never really gets boring. It has a good style where it basically focuses every episode on a different character, giving them development while still advancing the main plot. It always feels like somethings happening, and pretty much every episode has some sort of climactic setpiece (or even more than one). The shows full of mysteries, and they resolve in pretty much the best way possible. What makes AB really stand out to me is how emotional it is. Its full of humor at the start, and the humor is good (the death montage in ep 1, TK, and CHRISTO are all hilarious), but the sad parts are where its at. Most of the cast has pretty tragic backstories, which are usually good in their own right (I think Yuis was the best), and the show does a great job connecting them to the rest. Otonashis backstory is where the show really started getting amazing for me. Its cool for an anime to have a real message to it, especially one thats so positive. When you think about it, Angel Beats has probably saved more lives than any other TV show (or at least more than any other anime). The way Angels story ties into everything works perfectly, from the mystery at the start to who she is at the end. The last episode made me cry a lot. One of the best endings Ive ever seen in an anime, and the new ED sequence with Ichiban no Takaramono (The Greatest Treasure) destroyed me. The visuals and the lyrics worked together so perfectly with what was going on. I felt so sad for ~~Otonashi, knowing what he was going through alone.~~ I wish more shows knew how to be sad like this. Plastic Memories is the only recent one I can think of that even tried. --- All the stars in the sky are waiting for you. <cite>Mac Arrowny posted [p:927479399] in Mac Ranks ...
