If someone hasn't nailed the following yet, I'll be suprised:
The very end of the series, and the fact that Kanade received her donor heart from Otonashi makes the title of the series a foreshadowing of the entire ending, and a play on it. 'Angel' being the nickname for Kanade and 'Beats' referring to the fact that Kanade received that donor heart. If you remember seeing Otonashi's death, he checked off all the options of the donor card, which led to that. It's obvious too, though, that Kanade eventually died thereafter because she ended up in the world because of her regrets. Her only regret, of course, being the inability to thank Otonashi for the heart he gave her.
