Angel Beats!: Another Epilogue

A short review about this short episode.

Basically this is what happens if Otonashi stayed behind. Whether he really did stay, a signal for a second season, or a just a short thing to show what would happen and what he would do if he stayed is out of my knowledge's reach.

Summary: A person that was in the afterlife realizes that he is dead and questions why he is there. Otonashi comes in and helps him figure out what to do buy challenging him and offers him help afterwards. The class causes a small uproar about it and the teacher tries to calm everyone down and get them to finish the test. The main person refuses.

Story: 9
I'm only giving this a nine because I enjoy things that leave things out because it drives my imagination crazy. And also it also show some of the questions out there if he really stayed in the afterlife to help people. It may cause some to think that he maybe the guy who created the angel player and the Angel Beats time line maybe going in loops (which is the thing I do not want, but it's a thought nonetheless)

Art: 8
High quality art as usual. Really good tension scene.

Sound: 10
The voice acting was outstanding, and the choice of the BG was really good. It brought nostalgia even though it has only been a half of a year.

Character: 10
Otonashi showed a great deal of concern to other people in an indirect way. I like that because that's how I am. And the new character also showed a great deal of internal conflict and started to solve how to get out of it by Otonashi's help. That's really good character development in a two minute segment.

Enjoyment: 10
It brought a quench of thirst to me, since I've been looking forward to this since the first season ended. No matter what it was, I was still going to give it a 10.

Overall: 9
I'll give it a 9. It's probably because there wasn't much there, but there was something. Also, I'm sure it fires up people's imagination and excitement if there is going to be new season or not. I'm looking forward for more! read more

Basically... a short 2 min and 40~ second epilogue of another.
I'm so confused now... The ending of the series was different than this ending.

But whatever, I suppose this is suppose to add some closure to the series... even though it doesn't need it.

If you're crazy about Angel Beats like I am, watch this.
If you're not that crazy and you don't want to be confused about the story even more, then don't watch this.

The extra 2 min and 40~ seconds won't kill you. :P
God.... I wish there was more to this.. :P
