So I watched Angel beats today

...........and I can't stop crying right now. It was an amazing anime, words can't describe how great it is.

Don't know what Angel Beats is?

IT'S TRULY SAD

 

I believe you, as the comments on sad episodes of SAO kept comparing it to Angel Beats.

 

The last scene, oh my god I couldn't stop crying.

 

I watched the first episode on netflix, but I'm debating on continuing it or not. It just seems like a strange anime

 

It's certainly very good, and I recommend it to anyone and everyone.

 

Yeah man same here, ending was kinda ironic don't you think?

 

How was it ironic?

 

Spoiler

Because the person who created the shadow program did this after being left behind by the person he loved. So he created that program to prevent this from happening to anyone else.

And when everyone passed on Otonashi became heartbroken being left behind by Kanade for quite a long time.

 

Yes but then in the end

Spoiler

everyone found each other, meaning that it was all okay in the end, and that if it were to happen again, they'd all meet again after they repeated the after life.

Or, that's my take on it, anyway.

 

I generally liked it but I'm not sure about the ending. It just doesn't make sense. I would go on but I don't want to spoil it since I did still find it to be a cool concept and such.

 

MAKE UP YOUR MIND.

 

Technically that isn't wrong, though somewhat ambiguous. The experience is in the past so it "was great" but the anime is still in existence and likely hasn't changed so it "is great" as well.

 

The ambiguity is what I was commenting on.

 

Don't start.

 

But I already did, you meanie.

 

I guess your right, still though man I get sad everytime I think about the show. It really touched me.

 

I enjoyed Angel Beats, but it didn't make me ... emotional, really? Most people I know who watched it say it was super sad and whatnot...It's weird, I usually cry at the drop of a hat, but not with Angel Beats.​

Spoiler

Only part that made me kind of feel sort of emotional was when Yui and Hinata were all like...well, you know. That whole disappearing scene with her backstory and his 'I'LL MARRY YOU'. But I felt that their relationship developed way too quickly. Like, the pacing was weird to me idk.​

​

​

At the end I legitimately told myself "wow this is so sad" hoping to spark some sort of emotional within me, but I guess I just didn't care about Kanade at all, or her relationship with Otonashi. //terrible person ​

​

 

The whole thing was emotional for me. I'll admit I cried. The part that really set me off was . . .

Spoiler: Spoiler

The part where he gets everyone to sign there id's to donate there organs, and then they come in right after . . . it was just too sad.

That part got me too. I was balling halfway through.

 

Yeah, that scene got me to, mostly because

Spoiler

I know it sounds a bit pretentious to say, but my own medical history made me love that scene so much more. Watching it a second time, I really identified with Yui's non-stop energy. She's enjoying her new life because she is finally able to really live. It's something that she felt would never happen, and in a way, it really did. After knowing all that, I don't see her as some annoying side character, but someone who wants to enjoy every experiences of this new life. I saw a lot of myself in that; wanting to have a new life where you could go as crazy as you want and find someone who really cares about you, regardless of what kind of problems you have.
