I just watched the last episode. Did anyone else get the sense from the ending that Otonashi was the programmer? That was the impression I got. That after saving the people in the tunnel and dying he went to this world. He would have met Kanade, because at some point should would have been techically dead, even if only for a moment, to recieve the heart transplant. He fell in love with her while she was there, but she was pulled out of it after/during the procedure. Otonashi became the programmer after that and eventually wrote himself as an NPC. He came out of being an NPC shortly before he met Yuri. That was my theory, anyway.

T.K seems like a Japanese kid who's an anglo-wannabe and immersed in the American hip-hop culture (B-boy?), then died due to some unknown circumstances. I hazard a guess that he fell down the stairs while dancing or imitating Michael Jackson, probably why he was dancing with his back towards the stairs and at the top of it in Ep 11. Shiina is more of a mystery. Her ninja skills and quiet nature made her elusive to all forms of analysis. Her love for cute stuff is brilliant.

What a let down, the whole show pretty much didn't make any sense. In fact I kinda gave up halfway on it making sense anymore and was just waiting for that one saving grace that could've been but even then it still fell short.
Giant plot hole aside, the whole revelation behind Tenshi echoed a little bit of Seven Pounds for me, not trying to detract it because of that though just wanted to point out the parallel i noticed. The romance as people have been saying was downright forced and pretty much came out of nowhere. The back story was a little heart tugging i admit but the crux of it relied heavily on an established romance between the two which just wasn't there so it fell short of what it could've been. The little epilogue after also felt like one big cheesy attempt at an ambiguous pseudo happy end. Little bit of a cop out if you ask me, but that's more of a general gripe i have and not really a specific one targeted solely at Angel Beats. And for those speculating whether KyoAni should've been at the reins, Maede already had P.A Works in mind to do Angel Beats after he saw what they did with True Tears. I don't think KyoAni would've done too much of a better job anyway. Angel Beats overall is an incomplete work and even the producers acknowledged that themselves by trying to make some pseudo excuse in the form of it being a multi-media project.

Then the story would be considered as "was dragged out too much" instead of "was rushed too much" PS: i will trade all of the fillers for more GDM through. Even the animation of the novel is good enough. Especially after rewatching ep 1, and started to realise the calm and gentle Irie turned out to be quite wild when it comes to music, despite her look and voice actress

well thats it for angel beats
I saw some foreshadowing that some of them (yuzuru, kanade, iwasawa) do reincarnate at the same timeline. Hint: Reincarnated Kanade humming girldemo song while hearing via earphone (Iwasawa formed a band and kanade was listening to it in her music player? most likely) and both yuzuru and kanade is wearing similar necklace..

I don't mind if I have the chance to do that though. High school is a very interesting part of life.

Yurippe/Hinata is hard to say, it's more implied for them; however Yuzuru should a gradated already, since he was going to be enrolling in a medical school[thus logically college] before the train crash, and Naoi seemed around high school age at least when his brother died, so I would think he graduated as well, but I could be wrong.

Just to support what musouka said 3 pages back, Kanade did say "yeah/yes" to Otonashi. If it isn't in the sub, that's just another "lost in translation" case. That's why I always made sure no keyword was lost in editing back when I was translating, because a single missing/misuse of keyword can totally change the meaning of the whole story. In this case, a simple "yeah" already affects audience's understanding of Kanade's feeling. Anyway, what Kanade said was "un, arigatou", and the "un" there isn't "hm" or a pause or something like that, but "yeah".

dammit.
Yuzuru x Yuri got shot down ;_; But they made me smile at the end with Yuzuru x Kanade, so I guess I'm happy with that. I'll give my full review over in the overall review I guess... But one thing; ichiban no takaramono is like...godly. GODLY. |

Kanade did say "un" but not to the propose of staying forever with him. It was to Otonashi's "I love you", acknowledging that she understood his feeling for her. She left out her answers as "Thank you"...which i personally will say more "No" than "Yes"

As for Kanade's feeling, I won't try to interpret what the "yeah" there means, but I do believe the feeling is mutual. Why would you ask someone to repeat what he said if you feel the opposite? Unless you argue that Kanade simply enjoyed hearing Otonashi saying that he loved her but she had absolutely no (romantic) feeling towards him, then I got nothing to say. |

If Otonashi still hold more regrets of not telling Kanade more how much he loves her. He may attempt to stay there waiting for her again just like the Programmer
