I was not prepared. Not even close, nope.. not in the same galaxy kind of close. Not even with all the time in the world would i be close to prepared for Angel Beats and what it had in store for me. So yeah i did finish Angel Beats and it completely floored me on every possible level. I got more feels than any media has brought me before. It's almost a never ending stream of feels right now and i just got no idea what to do with myself anymore. I'll try to say something about the usual stuff that i tend to do when summarizing a show. It's just going to be harder than usual, only PMMM has made me so uncertain on what words to use and that anime required a few novels in the end to settle me. Angel Beats got an absolutely brilliant story that at first held a lot of promise but that promise turned into reality and so much more as the show went on. By episode 9-10 i was absolutely convinced that the story just couldn't possibly get any stronger since it had already peaked insanely well at that point but it did even improve from there! The story really did more than i had any right to even dream of it doing and that's one of many reasons why i now absolutely love Angel Beats. The characters.. oh the characters in Angel Beats are together of incredibly high caliber and it's the synergy between them all that make them stand out. Some characters are amazing while others can easily be forgotten but when you add each and everyone together there's not a chance that they can be forgotten. The cast of Angel Beats isn't the best one ever but certainly one very memorable one!
The art style used in the anime looked awesome on images and promo stuff that i had a look at before watching but it was only when i actually watched it that i was blown away but how absolutely gorgeous the anime looked and it never once did disappoint me in this area. It's perhaps one of the most beautiful animes that i've watched so far and while there are many more to watch i don't think i need to be concerned that Angel Beats will be just one in the group in a very long time, well done to the artists because the world look gorgeous! Now to the soundtrack which together with the story what i hold as the strongest points of the anime. The anime is absolutely full of soundtracks that are all ranging from solid to taking over your life kind of good. Been posting over the last few days in the anime music thread soundtracks from Angel Beats and it will continue to fight against PMMM on what soundtracks that i will listen to the most. It's a worthy opponent for certain and i've not even listened to them all in their full glory!
Angel Beats is and will for a long time be one of my favorite animes to watch and it will be too long before i can watch it again and again and again. Angel Beats is one of the very few animes that i will write down when people ask for general recommendations. It did just that well!
