On a separate note, this whole thread is subjective opinion - a place where people can scratch their heads at what others like. Everyone should try to be civil about it though and avoid the "series X is crap and you're stupid/lame/gay if you like it" that the insecure resort to. I've watched Angel Beats for six episodes and am still saying "so what?" at the end of each episode. I think I just roll my eyes at the basic premise and the *feeling* that it is launching on top of 'haruhi memes' to capitalize on those motifs. That doesn't mean it doesn't have merit.. just that it doesn't push MY buttons.

I'm a bit surprised to here someone say her voice was more annoying in Toradora than ZnT. I agree that her voice can be grating in Shana though. Quote:
I actually enjoy the show for it's mash up, parody like nature... I'm just not sure that's what the writers are intending. As to the characters, well, it's probably not a good thing when I throw my support behind a particular character due to fanart (soooo cute...) rather than the show itself.

The eps 6 of Angel Beats is the one of the most horrible episode I ever seen. And not too mention the eps 3 is kinda sucky too for the two eps which supposed to make a impact to positive respond they are fail hard there, and yes I'm not understand how people can like that show. But I do understand the hype, the solely reason I'm still watching it because I miss hype like AB cause' since Code Geass air time.

I see Angel Beats as Umineko (TV) done by Key... and enjoy it for the same reason. (aka stupid shit happens for no reason, random violence, and the writing staff is obviously drunk, also a whole lot of theorizing for nothing. Also, fanservice) But it's pretty and sounds good!
Shows are a lot better when you take them less seriously. *Goes back to facepalming*

Basically my response to events is similar to the ones in Umineko "sure why not??" and "This is stupid even for this show".

It's weird because i didn't like Code Geass or Haruhi and yet I like Angel Beats. It really just a marmite thing...

Amusingly enough, Ryukishi07 credits Key as being one the major influences on his work, and he recently helped write the script to Key's upcoming game Rewrite. So there actually is a possibility that he had contact with some of the people who ended up working on Angel Beats. (This being said, I wouldn't say that shit happens for no apparent reason in those shows... it's more like the rules of reality in the settings they occur in are just really warped.) Edit: Haak's sig is from Summer Wars.

Of course, I like both shows when they don't do this, and they both also have very good soundtracks, so it's not a complete wash. But I can't help but draw parallels between the shows, especially with AB's most recent episode that reminded me of Umineko's frequently abrupt episode endings. I'm afraid AB! may join Umineko in the "wasted potential" show. edit: Then again, I don't really see "everyone" liking Angel Beats either. IMO, there was already a ton of bias against the show being a Haruhi clone, when most of the similarities are really superficial. The other thing is the show's own fault for hyping itself up so massively and naturally many were disappointed. Actually, many of the shows listed here I can't see "everyone" liking. This thread should just be "Popular anime you hate"

Everyone still have fun discussing AB huh... to be honest I'm not have any expectation again after eps 6, Its like the script is decent enough but the execution is done" very poorly... But I'm planned to watch Haibane Renmei, people said the concept is similar to AB but the execution far more better, maybe after watching its my opininion to AB will get better (or maybe even more worse) Nah... the titles already fit enough, it kinda have "sarcasm" feel on it

Well I've really liked Angel Beats, its had its silly moments (the moments you ask the devs what are they doing) but I have enjoyed it. But over the last few weeks I been hearing people around me talk how bad it is.. So now I think maybe I just have bad taste in anime. I mean I find the comedy really good, and so is the music. I mean I laughed so much when they got killed by traps and the music would play. But then thats just me I guess and noone else. Guess I better stop recommending it to people if its really that bad :s. It sorta dont see anime the same way as others I guess. Makes sense since I am the only one whos actually liked Emiyo Shirou. Whos suppose to be the most hated character by everyone.
