Hello again, Here we are prepared to show a new review for all of you. This time we'll focus on another original anime project rather famous called Angel Beats!, based on a scenario by Jun Maeda, that aired not so long ago in Japan.   Let's start with the synopsys : Angel Beats! takes place at a high school acting as a Purgatory, where students learn to give up any lingering attachments they still have from life before continuing to an afterlife or reincarnation. While the injury or cause of death are gone, those in the afterlife school can still feel pain or other things as they did when they were alive, as well as dying again, only to awaken with no injures several minutes later. The story follows the main protagonist Otonashi, a boy who lost his memories of his life after dying. Upon awakening in the afterlife, he meets a girl named Yuri who invites him to join the Shinda Sekai Sensen (SSS) , an organization she founded and leads which fights against God for the cruel fates the SSS members experienced in life. Their only enemy in the world is the school's student council president Angel, a being with supernatural powers who fights against the SSS. Yuri believes that anyone who follows Angel's orders and behaves like a normal student at the school will eventually disappear and pass on. However, those who fulfill their dreams in the afterlife will pass on as well. Yes, complex story and this plot is very well played through the series (with tons of plot twists and discover). The end is acceptable, but a little melancholic. (be aware that the story can get really emotional at times) The characters sounds pretty real and you can see a growth of them through the whole series. The only negative part of the cast is maybe Yuri (Yurippe) with her bitchy "I am Suzumiya Haruhi and I'm a God" attitude that she have most time. The seiyuu used in this series aren't the top famous one (except one or two), but do a good job portraying their own characters emotion. The soundtrack is top notch and OP and ED song has been in my playlist for MONTHS. (I'll probably do another post later on to show you what I mean ) Concluding, this is an anime I suggest to anyone to see and can be an easy pick to introduce someone to the anime world. (we need to increase our numbers if we are to take over the world ) That's all for now, feal87
