Otonashi reminds me of Shirou from Fate Stay Night
he has a severe saviour complex he wants to save everyone.. no, he obssesses about it but he's put in a situation where the goal is not to kill each other to survive, so his morality does not clash with the setting like Shirou still, I wonder if this will make him truly happy in the end? because to me this path can only lead to one thing: he will become the new Tenshi of that purgatory |

A nice, slow episode once in a while is fine too. Especially the part where Tenshi gets to act mega cute.

Also, the whole situation seriously reminds me of Ever17, lol.

Still, its hard to get moved by the scene when you realise that these guys didn't sign when they first got their cards and had to be inspired to do so. They make it as if there is some sort of stigma with agreeing to organ donation and it take will to do so. |

I don't know if it's the paint making me teary-eyed (there's someone doing a paint job outside and he decides not to improve the ventilation ) but I admit to have been teary-eyed on that scene that he goes to sign his health insurance card. That's one heroic move, Otonashi. o7

Mind you, this is all coming from my personal experiences. I'm certainly not saying the way I think is correct (nor am I trying to refute your opinion or anything like that), but this is the perspective from which I viewed that particular scene you're referring to. I found it quite moving that the people in the accident still had the will to make the most out of their life despite all that has happened to them in the last seven days. As a result of episodes such as this, Beats has quickly moved up to be one of the few anime I'm most looking forward to each week (quite a difference from my impressions of the first episode!). |

Wow either Japan's emergency response teams move slow or this was the worst tunnel collapses in history. Anyway I think I like Otonashi the most out of all the Key main characters.
Edit:@momobunny I was thinking the same thing. Last edited by Jarmel; 2010-05-28 at 22:03. |

^ People can do irrational things when faced with difficult situations. He must've simply panicked and lost his common sense.
This was a really good episode as far as Angel Beats! is concerned. I'm sorry I ever doubted your status as main character Yuzuru =(. I'm looking forward to how he plans to bring peace to everyone in 4 more episodes. Cockroach seems to be the focus next week. If anything, Maeda most likely would make even me feel some sympathy towards her next week. Oh, and I laughed at next weeks title coupled with the fact it's focusing on her. Trying to reference the IRL singer YUI huh? XD |

Looking at the scene a second time my thought was more along the lines of "whaa? you didn't sign when it came in the mail?" |

I'm surprised opinions seem to vary about this episode. For me, I'm just stunned. I remember Maeda saying in an interview that he might have a hard time trying to come up with something touching in this series, and guess what, he did it. Yes, the part I got teary was none other than Otonashi singing the donation... by the way, talking about that, I need to correct some of the views here that why those people didn't sign in it the first place. We are talking about Japan here, part of the Asia, where most people believe in keeping their bodies as a whole after death. Being a donator means having your body all cut up and that's against the belief.
Other than the part above, the scene between Kanade and Otonashi was also beautiful. Now we know the true meaning behind her nick "Tenshi", even though the nick wasn't referred as for the same purpose. Also, waking up with her hand patting your face (and again afterwards), anyone? |

All other SSS members are easy to 'erase'; the only two people standing in Kanade and Yuzuru's way are the core members. Other than that, I don't think they can wrap this up with so little screentime. So the best bet would be to take out the dragon's head.

That's why I said "most", but the thing is, even if your parents don't care, it's considered to be unfilial if you have your parents ending up in the situation (same for your offsprings having you ending up in the situation of being donated), so either way, with both common practice and social pressure, the cycle continues and hence it becomes a rare thing to become an "after-death" donator. Now, if you donate your organs while you're alive, that's a different story.

People generally don't think about their own mortality and what happens after they die. The scene of Otonashi filling out his donor form is meant to show that he was excepting his death but wanted his life to still mean something. |
