How does anyone actually like this shit?
The best anime ever, without any doubt, is Angel Beats. Not only is the plot amazing, it delivers important themes about society and has a lot of symbols about religion. Pisses me off that people don't understand how beautiful this anime is and I just want to punch them in the face.
>>137473430
I recognize that it's quite terrible,every character is retarded and so were the shadow plot devices. But I liked it. Despite being retarded I found them to be quite endearing and the final death scene was handled quite well.
>>137473553
"Muh feels"
Well considering the only memorable character was TK...
>>137473430
When the studio tryhards this much, someone is going to fall for it. I mean it literally put everything on a list of "THINGS PEOPLE REALLY LIKED" into a show with no coherent plot and a cast of characters stolen from other shows. Some people are easily fooled.
>>137473430
Better than any kyoanus shit.
>>137474007
t. EVAfag
I thought you all were just pretending that you liked it.
>>137474207
they like it ironically but then the irony was lost on the masses
I liked a couple of episodes, but overall the series was quite bad
>>137474267
>>137473430
Some people have different tastes, anon.
It was pretty good, it wasn't anything special but it killed time and was entertaining enough that I didn't have to pause it every 5 minutes. I don't get how people link it with Clannad for muh feels though, I thought Angels Beats pretty happy considering it revolved around people getting rid of their regrets and moving on.
The first episode was pretty good. But then they did a complete tonal shift and instead of being a cynical comedy it turned into tryhard highschool fantasy garbage. I guess that explains why coalguys didn't sub episode 2.
I can't even remember if I dropped it or not.
>>137478065
Sigh
>>137473430
character's were amusing enough that I felt bad about the MC losing everything. It wasn't great but I wouldn't call it shit also the OVA gave me a smile.
Teens tend to eat up forced drama.
>>137474036
Irrelevant, retard.
I liked the shitty ending
>>137473430
Some of the gags are arguably the best Maeda has ever been involved with. Not that that's saying much.
I liked it despite the weak plot
characters were good enough to carry me to the final episode so I don't really see why you'd hate it for reasons other than trying to fit in
if it got released this season I'd watch it without a second thought
Maybe the VN is good?
I don't know because I haven't played it. But it was clear the story might've been good with 4-cours.
>guy tries to kill everyone
>next day they visit said guy in the hospital after their fight and are acting friendly together
How was his heart in tenshi if she had been in the heaven place for longer than him? Doesn't that mean she died first? But how can that be if his donated heart made her live longer? What was the point of giving a heart to a girl who was gonna die a few days later anyway? Nothing adds up.
>>137481035
>What was the point of giving a heart to a girl who was gonna die a few days later anyway?
Self gratification and better than nothing?
>>137481121
The doctors/health system decides where the heart goes. They wouldn't waste such a precious organ on a terminal girl. Unless her parents were loaded as fuck and bought their way up the queue.
>>137481285
I don't fucking know why you try to make sense out of Angel Beats.
>>137481411
Because how do you write a story so obviously flawed?
Most likely they only remember the first part of the show plus the OP and forget the terribly rushed second part
It's been like 7 years now so it's about in that time frame where only the good is remembered
>>137481475
Nah it wasn't rushed. It was perfect.
>>137481447
Have you read the VN?
>>137481475
The first part wasn't particularly good either
>>137481514
I don't read books much.
>>137481544
How can you call something poorly written if you haven't read it?
>books
>>137481475
AngelBeats! was a big success at the time. As impossible as it seems, people did actually genuinely like it.
>>137481570
Yeah I know I remember when it aired and this was the general consensus
>>137481504
Are you kidding? The major events of the plot don't even start until episode 9. More than half the characters just disappear in episode 11 with no development whatsoever.
t.tolkien
>>137481567
Because there's a tv show about it?
>>137481655
Well we just like different things then I guess. I thought the ending was great, really gave a sense of calamity and everyone disappearing and shit. It was very confronting.
>>137481940
You can create a sense of calamity without rushing the ending. The things that actually happen in the ending are fine, they just should have taken a longer time getting there.
>>137481906
That's an adaptation
>>137482454
ANgelBeats isn't an adaptation.
It was the first anime I watched so it always has a special place in my heart.
>>137482693
You could literally not be any newer
Angel beats came out like 3 years ago
>>137482736
Not him but Angel Beats is 6 years old now
I liked it while it was a comedy, then at some point SAD SAD SAD kicked in.
>>137473430
The first ten episodes are fucking fantastic, 10/10, the problem was the so out of place ending. It was like the author was doing his shit like he wanted on his own pace, like he had all the time in the world, and suddenly someone told him "yo dude, you have 3 more episodes" and then he was like "well fuck everything".
>>137482509

You should probably read your own link. Nothing in there says or indicates AngelBeats is an adaptation. In fact, the opposite is made explicitly clear.

The others are spinoffs made at the same time as the anime.
>>137483385
>Around the time Key completed the first release of their sixth visual novel Little Busters!, Hironori Toba of Aniplex (himself a fan of Key's works) approached Maeda around October 2007 about collaborating to produce an original anime series.
>The Aniplex producer of Angel Beats!, Hironori Toba, was interviewed in the November 2009 issue of Dengeki G's Magazine, where he commented that a 13-episode anime with about 21 minutes per episode was not enough to tell the whole story of Angel Beats! Maeda had envisioned. Therefore, the various additional media, such as the illustrated short stories and manga, contain some of the story that was unable to make it into the anime because of time constraints.
>>137483513
? I can read an article myself.
>>137483461
>made at the same time
Anon please. It's just an adaptation, just like the VN is. But the VN is the true adaptation. Because it was always meant to be a VN
>>137483619
What? So is nothing an original work to you then?
>>137483690
Slippery slope
>>137473430
Autism
>>137483708
You said both were adaptations. That can't be true. One has to be the original work.
>>137483787
>only two exist
Again, I never said this.
>>137483822
What is the original work then?
>>137483578
So why do you think it's an adaptation? It's explicitly stated that AngelBeats was created as an original anime series. What is it supposed to be an adaptation of?
>>137483860
I bet you think Charlotte is an original too.
>>137483862
That doesn't answer the question. You've already said that neither the VN nor the anime was an original.
>>137484590
What Angel Beats work is the original work?
Also why are you being deliberately obtuse?

Just because you think I have no argument however doesn't mean you're allowed to have none.
I didn't find the antics funny, the art was pretty low-standard, and the twists didn't have enough punch to them because of unbelievable some of their behavior was.
The show didn't click with me at all, but I don't have a meltdown rage boner over it. It's not the same as someone saying Sword Art Online is the best animu ever because of sell-insert edgemeister.
This thread is as incoherent as AngelBeats! itself.

3 terrible characters
I watched Angel Beats when I was in high school and liked it. I only remember certain things, not characters though, which speaks for the quality as whole.
All my friends thought the "My song" was the saddest part but the most relatable, realistic sad moment was when they "graduate" and all disappear.
>>137487780
Please, state your argument again.
>>137487835
Why can't you just read the fucking comment train?
I wonder how long this can go on for.
>>137482736
Angel beats only recently became vn. It's not an adaption.
>>137487904
I did, and It's not clear to me which argument is yours.
You seem to like repeating things. Why not just state it again, and I'll do my best to give you that thrilling debate we both know you crave.
>>137487961
>only two arguments

>>137488031
They usually say if it's not A it's B.

You're dumb and retarded, as you yourself have said. What makes you think you deserve the luxury of conversation?

>>137488211
You can sidestep every response you get til the end of the thread. The only thing you've managed to prove is that your not worth anyone's time.
Maybe you had an argument once. Maybe you're just trolling for giiggles. But either way, you do yourself no credit.

No, you literally are lying. Either you know my side of the argument and are humoring me, or you don't and are not humoring me.
It's that fucking simple. You're a liar.
>>137488364
So your argument was that AB was an adoption of the VN. Which it obviously is not, but you don't want to admit that you are wrong and are now "trolling everybody". Epic, simply epic!
>>137488458
If he was humoring your argument he would actually try to approach it instead of asking for what it is. At this point he's humoring you in a vain attempt to find out what your argument was in the first place.

kek
Neither was that my argument. But if it was, feel free to quote said statement.
>>137488498

so he was lying. Case closed. Which is neither ad hominem, since it's the truth, and neither 'dumb' or 'idiotic' is ad hominem, because it's literally a quote.
