First, Steven pronounced a disappointment: Angel Beats was a show which started out intriguing but soon lost my interest. [...] I’ve been downloading episodes as the show has gone along, just in case the ending turned out to be awesome, so that I could mainline the show if need be. Now it looks as if I [...]

The lethal Mapo Doufu that appears in Angel Beats!, notoriously known for its virulent spiciness, might have brought some of the audience to sweat and tears from hot sensation only by watching the screen. However, considering how some otaku are eager to reproduce various things from anime, it's no wonder that some audacious guy dared to concoct this life-threatening matter. See the results of his valiant action in the video.<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ew3B2PSg9iE&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ew3B2PSg9iE&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>

By TheBigN It’s kind of silly, and already has been covered before… probably. But the one thing I gleaned from the ending episode of Angel Beats! during the scene of the “fake graduation” was that before Otonashi’s confession to Kanade as one of the last two left, he was perfectly fine with going before Hinata into [...]

So yeah, I was surfing around Youtube when I found videos of this guy doing piano pieces for a few songs from Angel Beats. [...]

by Kagami First things first, I didn’t like Angel Beats! This is totally crazy, I know. This is the show everyone in the interwebs is drooling over. Surely I must have caught some rogue virus that rots away the parts of the brain that enjoy moe anime. I mean, I don’t like K-ON!! either, so [...]

Jun Maeda. Jun Maeda is exactly who I intend to not talk about. Instead I speak of the Angel Beats. If you look at the anime without thinking too much then it was a pretty decent anime, no? Anyway, I thought that the characters were fun and stuff. It’s good that everyone had some sort

While there will still be fan art coming from Japan (especially hentai doujinshi), this is the last batch of images coming from the TV series.To get things started, lets go with the humor, which there wasn't much of. This time, it is "tease the characters" with a bowl of food. *lol*OK, humor time is done, and I'm rather bummed since I rather enjoyed the humorous photoshopped images.At the end

Warning: Spoilers ahead!! This is one hell of a “you-must-watch” finale!!! The first half was fairly lighthearted. Yuri wakes up in the infirmary with everyone around her. After realizing that she has since found peace, the remaining few of them have their own graduation ceremony. These scenes, especially when they sing their departing song, ALWAYS [...]

The power of Kanade indeed. Angel Beats! #1 was released last week on 23 June 2010. The Blu-ray version topped the Daily Chart while the DVD was #6 [...]

Angel Beats! = Kobato.? That’s right – Angel Beats! and Kobato.. Which is vaguely amusing given the fact that both had a penchant for unnecessary punctuation at the ends of their titles. But, really – take a step back: Kobato. ends with Kobato and Fujimoto finding each other again after Kobato reincarnates (how I managed [...]

エンジェルビーツ Episode 13 (final episode)SPOILER Summary/Synopsis: It has been three days since Yuri learned the truth of this world and awakes to find Kanade, Otonashi, Naoi, and Hinata looking at her. They've been waiting on her and know she's made peace with her past. There are no others in the world and they are there to make sure Yuri gets free. To that end, Kanade wants to have a graduation

It was a series about life. A series about choices. A series about love. But somewhere in there, a shadow caught its soul too, didn’t it? Angel Beats! doesn’t have a solid plot. It doesn’t try. It has a basic concept, a fight for life, and it just goes from there. It’s an emotional wreck [...]

So for the elder readers, does anyone remember an old show called Party of Five? I never watched it, but all I remember about it was it featured ridiculously hot girls and a lot of emo situations. Uh… not that I'm saying Angel Beats is anything like that.

Hironori Toba, producer of Angel Beats, said in an interview prior to its premiere that thirteen episodes wasn’t enough to tell the story Jun Maeda had envisioned. He was lying. Somewhere between the baseball episode and the protracted and overblown ending it becomes apparent the series doesn’t know what it’s doing beyond [...]

And suddenly the heart beat makes so much more sense… Mystlord: And thus Angel Beats! ends… And what a ride it’s been. The show has certainly generated some extremely divisive views, and judging from general responses on Twitter, there’s certainly just as much backlash and praise for how the show ended (I personally try not [...]

“Kanade… Please don’t disappear… KANADEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!11489349one” Before someone flames: [spoiler alert]. Damn straight. Angel Beats! was a decent watch in the little time that it lasted, but if there was any moral we learnt from Maeda’s latest outing, it’s how budget and timing can certainly screw around with what could have been a timeless series. First [...]
