| Er.....So now it's not one foolish girl who has nothing better to do than blaming her shizz on GDO, but a bunch of them too.... How dirty is that? But sowwie kiddo, the awesome GDO is too busy pimping Urumi to give f**k about what you kids doing LOLOLOLOL No Shiina? NO SHIINA?!!!!! Damn, getting singing scenes and no Shiina while getting Shiina and no singing scenes.... How unfair is that?!!! Whatever, the ep is full of bull crap but as long as I get good singing materials, I'm cool with it..... Last but not the least..... KRILLIN, I FINALLY FOUND YOU!!!! YOU BASTARD, GROWING A PINK MULLET, GET INTO EMO STUFFS AND DITCH CYBORG 18 LIKE THAT, YOU LIL' PRICK YOU.... XDDDDD |
 If he's not with us, he's AGAINST us!!! |
| Brilliant episode. I like the concert but come on. The singer dies already in the third episode. Soo... temporary said: So since she's gone, no more concerts right? right?! ^this? and I even began to like the added music in this anime. Daaaaamn! |
| Did no one else notice that one of the vending machines had Key's logo on it? XD I thought the episode was a good step up from before, and I can say for sure that I'm looking forward to the next very much. And, well... needs moar Tenshi. |

Seriously they don't vanish into nothing. ios said: That's what you think.I kinda like iwasawa but now she will be reborn on another life Pw3age said: I also like your thinking....this a good logic too. It will be to see eventually...how it works exactly.....I will be looking forward to how it is more.I think you "disappear" and reborn as a new person when you finally accept the fate that you are truly dead. I think everyone there had some horrible accident or event that caused them to die with regret, and wish to live on. Then they go to that world, where they live their life that they missed out. They still have "the will to live", or something. This would explain why they can't die in this world. They do actually "die" for a few mins at a time, but then they resurrected because they still have a will to live. So once they accept there fate, they finally actually die like they were suppose to. |
 In spoiler my anime list for now. |

| iwasawa was removed from the ED and christ was there... i have so many questions...since tenshi is developing her powers in the same way they are making weapons i wonder if otanashi and/or yuri and co. make their own powers too... this would turn this anime into a shounen though... and i dont want that. tenshi's comment "they make me look the bad guy" made me really think if she really is the "villain" |

| Argh, come on, it's about time soe development with Tenshi happened. |
| This show just keeps getting better. I love the drama stuff they are putting in....really looking forward to seeing more of that. |

I think she died peacefully since she accepted things that no matter how cruel her life when she is alive, she accepted it the way it did go and realized it after singing that song so she died with no regrets while Yurippe, on the other hand, can't accept the way she died so she's fighting with Tenshi to be reborn again and redo her life or so I think. |
| wow this was an amazing episode :D i know it's kinda early,but Angel beats has 10/10 from me,untill now atleast,but i dont think it will change :) 3 great episodes/3...this is rare :) too bad it's only 13 episodes long :( I think Iwasawa remembered why did she love to live...and probably that's why she was sent back to the human world,that's reincarnation for you :) i have the feeling that Tenshi's a good character also...she said something like:"Why do they look at me as i'm the bad guy" or something...she has shown traces of personality yay :) 5/5 |

| Probably the new pink hair girl will replaced the other girl. |

| Okay Takeyama needs to stop it with the "call me Christ" shizz, that's seriously annoying. Sorry dude, you're not awesome enough to be called Christ =.= and LOL TK this ep "GET CHANCE AND LUCK!"...hope next ep has more of him <3 Teachers were srsly annoying omg ~__~ I never thought Tenshi was the "bad guy"... aww Iwasawa D: |

| Just 3 word from me Wow... That Boring, eps 2 make me confidence, but this eps crush it again... and too bad, i can't get mood or any feeling from Iwasawa's death, and she is supposed to be memorable chara's rite ? its reflect how bad the chara development for this episode... Or maybe i just little picky about chara development point after recently watching Samurai Champloo... nah... |

Probably, something along those lines but that's just assumption for now. It will be revealed later so anything can go either way. |
so powerful OS............oh well its very nice episode |
| I think this is one of the few OP's that I will probably be watching (as opposed to skipping OP's/ED's as usual) for a few more episodes. : 3 lol That's a hell lot of decimals of pi xD And damn TK is awesome xD. Oh, just noticed the brand of the coffee cans, 'Key' 8D (Oh, it's apparantly on the vending machine as well : o) |

| After watching this ep, the show reminds me more and more of Haibane Renme. except with more comedy and action, but the overall theme just seems so similar. I can't shake that feeling. |
We will never forget those that have fallen for our freedom! |

[grin} Maybe he's just spouting random numbers in the middle. I know only about 7 decimal places in pi. And he should die next episode, repeatedly saying "Call me Christ.", it's annoying. Concert was good, though the teachers are kinda slow, stopping to listen to Iwasawa singing. I recall that you can make someting if you have memories about the item you're making. If Tenshi is making her powers like Yuri's weapons, then what kind of memories does she have? I wanna see the Harmonics power. You can never have too many Tenshi. Great episode. Next episode baseball? |
 |
| This was a great episode. So sad about what happened to Iwasawa, yet it seems sort of relieving that she was able to come to terms with things....I suppose. Anyways, the band sounded great. I really want to know more about Tenshi's story. Even before her "It's like I'm the bad guy," line, I've been wanting to know about her. Why are Yurippe and the rest of them fighting her? Only flaw with this episode was that it needed more TK, but then again, Angel Beats will always need more of him. In spite of this, I will still give it a 5/5. |
| "Don't worry girls, explosions fix everything!" --Nabeshin (the Excel Saga one) |
| I just noticed... this show has a great OP and ED. The OP is simply beautiful, and the way the ED builds up is great. Anyways, I was pretty disappointed with the first episode, ended up enjoying the second episode, and now with this episode I can confidently say that I like this series very much. It jumped from a 7 to a 9 for me. They'll probably fuck this whole show up with filler or something like that, but until then, it's the most enjoyable thing this season. |
| Great episode :D This anime is offically added in my favorite anime list ^-^ Does anybody know how long will this anime last?About 13 episodes?Hope not :( |
| Just a little thought. Quite fast for a character intro + end.(Well, the series is 13 episodes in total after-all) Anyways, I'm wondering if gradually everyone starts to disappear over the course of the series? (I really don't want this happening >.<) Also, maybe Angel isn't really that bad? (I'll be interesting to see her "story") Looking forward to the next ep. Keep it comin' Key. |
| BTW why was Iwasawa's guitar in that "after-life" place? At least I think it was her guitar from when she was still alive and I doubt she would have gotten that angry at the teacher if it wasn't that one. Was there any explanation to this or is it just a plothole? |
| I loved loved this episode. Awesome songs by GirlDeMo!!! I'm sad to see Iwasawa go for the simple fact that I won't be able to hear her singing again! But maybe she will be revived. ^^ This episode was a whole step forward for the show. The sad back stories are really quite moving and I can't wait to hear the stories of the rest of the members. At first I was a little bit hesitant because the show seemed like a bloodier version of Haruhi, but I think that it has now been proved that Angel Beats is so much more. Will this become a sort of Haibane Renmei scenario??? A sort of limbo between life and death. That you need to except the reason why you died in order to move on? Wow, I'm getting so excited!! |

| I enjoyed the episode very much and there seem to be some development in the main story. About the tenshi I have a theory that she's just like Yuri and her team, but she's been in this world for a longer time than them. P.S Loved the song at the end anyone knows what the name? |
 |
| I loved this ep! I actually felt more sorry for Iwasawa than for Yuri because of the way the character was built up. It's a shame really but I'd rather they get through the past/deaths quickly so we can have more epic stuff later. The songs were cool, nice to know the animation is staying high quality. |
 |
| -A Pi. xD -Seems like TK cannot sit peacefuly even for a while, he's bouncing all the time. xD -KEY's drinks for only 120¥? So cheap... [Now that i think about, i've never drinked canned coffe, wonder how it tastes...] -Iwasawa's story- well, nothing really special either. But better than Yuri's. -They're just NPC's but they behave like normal humans, like their reaction when teachers barged in concet hall, or when they stopped concert. Questionable if they're just NPCs. -Alchemy's pretty good, and animation of concert is great aswell. No, new ballad song is even better. ^^ -WFT!? She dissapeared? Just when she became my favorte character. (屮ﾟДﾟ)屮 The best episode so far, i must say. I'm especially curious about NPCs. |

| The alchemy song sent me chills to my spine... like the drums...though I'm not really happy about the whole episode...only the song... damn hacker...calling himself christ.. For me ep2 is the best so far.. |
"Your taste is shit cause you like what I hate. Believe me I have 1000 cartoons that I rated with less than 5."  |
| I'm a bit disappointed with this episode, the last one was better. I don't get it how everybody likes the drama-part in this series. IMHO it wasn't really touching or something, it was just the usual stuff you see in drama series. I also think that GirlDeMo is actually a quite useless element of AB. In the first episode it reminded me of the concert episode of Haruhi. I get the impression that the band was just put in here to show off with animation quality and lure the K-ON!-fans. Instead, I think the comedy is really a winning point of AB. I lol'd when Christ started babbling the numbers of pi xD The thing with the disappearance was good, I think, as it lets you speculate about the "rules" of the world in AB. Although I put in quite a criticism, I still like the series. Looking forward to the next ep^^ |
| Oh yeah, that Pi was good! Iwasawa T_T I guess, if you accept your fate, you'll vanish... Great episode. Angel is getting more mysterious.. |
| Outstanding episode! I was sad about Iwasawa..... and I like Yui sooo much!!! She's so cute^^ Angels comment about not being the bad girl made my head creating 100000 possibilities... As for Angels powers, I have a theory: Yuri and co. create weapons by remembering how they work from their life in Guild, no weapon can be created that isn't really remembered. This was seen in Ep 2 where the large cannon aimed at Angel exploded, the guy simply said they didn't really remember how it works. Okay so their weapons are limited by Earths boundaries of science.... Now for Angel, she seems to know alot more about the world, but she makes her powers the same way. The world is a replica of a school on Earth so I guess everyone who is there thinks the same laws of physics apply as on Earth minus the dying. If Angel however realized or just knows that the world is not limited by the normal laws of physics and if she trained enough I think she became able to just create stuff out of her imagination rather then knowing how it works from real life If Yuri and co realize the same thing they should be able to have infinite power as the human imagination is in theory unlimited, it's kinda hard to explain what I mean, I hope you get it >.< |

| very good. I didn't expect anyone to drop from the anime.. very sad yes :( the anime keep becoming darker and sad, and the ending is again really well inserted, I like it all ^___^ |
     |
| woyee Can't believe they already took out Iwasawa :( well gotta deal with it, it's a 13 episodes series! I don't think we'll see her any soon for now \/ ( then even erased her in the ending ! cruel !)  |
| The quality of the show is improving, but it's still not up to the standards of what other Key stories have achieved. I didn't feel like crying over Yuri's or Iwasawa's pasts at all, and I'm usually as sucker for these kinds of stories. Also, the blasphemy all around the story is getting more prevalent in each episode...Christ? XD I think it's a bit too early to erase a great personality like Iwasawa, especially since it felt pretty rushed. I hope that the other characters will get more development before they die permanently (which I have a feeling they will) since this character-of-the-day formula isn't working for me. |
| I've still yet to get around to watching episode 3 but I plan to soon. I hope it picks up because the animation looks so nice and I really want to keep watching but if I lose interest in it, damn :( |
| Calling yourself Christ is lame. Just look at TK, he's moving to whatever beat goes in his head, how awesome that can be? I want to drink that KEY drink. Looks yummy. Yui is awesome, but we see her for a very short time. Iwasawa's past is sad. The concert was fucking epic. Iwasawa!!!!!!!! FUCK NOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooooo FFFFFFFFFFFFF just when I started to like her ;_; Overall this episode kept me on the edge of my seat. Simply epic. |

XD Me too....I think it's just normal when you're already dead... had fun with ep2 more than this.....I hate that fucking hacker that calls himself christ... |
| "Your taste is shit cause you like what I hate. Believe me I have 1000 cartoons that I rated with less than 5." |
| Wow, Angel Beats seems to get better with each episode, and the production values seem top notch. I like the idea of seeing each character's backstories as it makes us actually give a damn about them lol, even if they're usually quite dark and depressing. (Nooooooooo! Felt really sad when Iwasawa disappeared from the ending credits ;_; Really liked her music too...) Instead of trying to make sense out of the confusing plot, I think I'll just sit back and take each episode as they come along, and hope that the series explains everything and keeps on impressing me hehe. |
| I didn't cry over her past but when she disappeared i was somewhat surprised, and it was pretty emotional. We also got to see Angel communicate with students and show a real personality, so that means that there are no NPC's in this afterlife; just people trying to find their place. -I like KEY's comedy; the Pi joke gave me a chuckle. ;) |
| Loved this episode! ♥ I'm an Iwasawa fan, I adore her. I hope (and am kind of sure?) that she'll be back next episode and that she didn't really disappear for good. |
