Heheh, I get you, dw xD
Angel Beats, to me, is like that ugly-ass kitten you love so much. Sure I'm aware of its flaws, but it's just too fun. The feels factor isn't really there for me.
I mean, with Clannad it was like "2012 part 2" with that many tears leaving my ducts xD
That said, Lawrence was a pretty good underpowered protagonist. I've done a largely pacifist Fallout Vegas playthrough based off of him. (Cass was my Holo- not quite as good, but you know. Bodyguard.)
Yeah, their relationship is special. And even though the books' translations aren't that great (I mean who the hell uses "the girl nun-cladded" as a freaking word?) The story is coherent and pretty good all round. It gets far more complicated and larger. As well as the whole
"I don't want this to end so we're doing something else in the mean while"
That's literally it. None of them wanted to end their journey.
It's the sweetest most heart-felt filler story ever!
P.S there's also some pretty major development within, so it's not just 'lol filler.'
