Nope. I have no clue what he's trying to say either.


I'm saying is, there is nothing in this series that is even worth the title 'incredible', everything in this show is medicore at best.

Likeable characters
Decent animation (sometimes)
A solid OST

thats pretty much all the praise I can give the series, the plot although interesting and full of twists just cant keep up with its own pace. Things are too rushed, a lot of events just happen too fast and then are put in the back burner too quickly to leave any lasting impressions. Like I mentioned before this being a 13 episode had waaay too much crammed into it for it to work...which is why I also agree that while the series is very enjoyable, its just far from being incredible and not even close to the same quality as shows like Clannad and Kanon.

I can't say Angel Beats! is better than Clannad atm. This show has yet to get me half as emotionally involved as Clannad. Clannad was packed with good moments, even very simple line can be meaningful in the show, Angel Beats! don't have that "punching power."

But the humor, Artwork, Music alone have made the show very worthwhile. I admit that I actually enjoyed this show quite a bit.

I really enjoyed Jun Maeda's usual writing, though weaker atm, it's his writing and it's enjoyable. Music by Lia(gatha love her vocals), as well as the Director of "Seto no Hanayome" as the director... It's like a collaboration show for me, which is probably why I can enjoy this show without being overly fussy over the plot, flow and logic.

Granted, this show is no Clannad. At the same time, bare in mind that this show is actually a project Jun and Aniplex come up with, it's not the usual successful visual novel adaption.

I laughed at the humor, my breath was taken away because of the artwork, and the music really pleases my ears. (To add, the concept of the show is rather interesting) For me, this is all that really mattered for this show. These points alone will easily get Angel Beats! 7/10 from me(7/10 = not very high quality but very enjoyable)

2 episodes to go. Unless they f'ed up very bad, this show will not get the "horrible view" from me.

/Opinion

EDIT: I wrote more than I thought I would.. hmmm...

I think Angel Beats is something you either like or you hate. Its not Clannad, nor is it Kanon or Air. Its not a masterpiece but it does have its good bits, namely the art and the awesome OST. The story also gets better as it goes along. Imo it has played to its strengths quite well; when i averaged out the scores I gave to each aspect (story, art etc) I came to 8.8 which is 9 rounded. If i tried to give it an overall score without thinking about each aspect separately it would be closer to 7. I think this really says something about how it doesn't really leave that lasting impression that Clannad does, but imo it is still a good show all things considered.

Episode 12 was interesting... but I'm not making any judgement for now.

However, what I will say is, the show would be a lot better if it had 24 episodes... It got more contents than Air and almost equal amount of episodes... (and IMO, Air needed more episodes too, things are not looking great for Angel Beats! who got a lot more content/potential and unanswered questions.)

But, NGE wouldn't have gotten a 9 from me if it weren't for the last episode... who knows if Angel Beats can pull something off too...

No, the problem with this series is that it's too short. They are cramming a plot that would be more properly fitted into 24 episodes in just 13 episodes.

I've to say that I can't understand how this show can be labelled as "incredible" really. I reckon it's not crappy or bad either but there are a lot of things that could have been explained or developed and others that make no sense, imo.

The "come on, it's only a 13 episode series!" excuse doesn't work to begin with because if you are planning to do a 13 episode series then you have to plan everything so that you get to the last episode and don't feel like something is lacking. There are plenty of 13 episode series that achieved more than this one. And you could always cut some filler parts to make room for development.
Another thing that annoyed me was the fact that we kept seeing the past of some characters while the others' were simply ignored. I mean, we spend one entire episode talking about Yui and Hinata's past... I'd be sincerely more interested on knowing TK's past since he's the most eccentric and mysterious person of the bunch. And I hope they mention Kanade's past as well.

Not to mention that some scenes were far-fetched, I mean, there are two robbers or whatever robbing a house and instead of searching for valuables on their own they leave that task to a kid who is allowed to run around the house despite the fact there might be a phone around through which she can call the police, etc. Plus, why did they started attacking Kanade in the first place? Because they thought she was God's angel? Why's that?

About the characters, even though I somewhat like two of them, you can find all kinds of characteristic cliché there, not to mention the semblances some have with other anime characters, either physically or mentally.

I did enjoy some of the gags they made, especially those involving Naoi, which by the way, looks and speaks like Naoto from Persona 4 (even the names are similar lol). The music imo, is one of the things I can honestly say that adds a lot to the series though the artwork isn't bad either.

I find this series enjoyable, but saying this is "incredible" is exaggerating. But I guess it's a matter of personal taste.

If you can dig into the story and presentation, like other animes, and pull out key concepts, then perhaps you can find the possibility of calling it "incredible". You either lack the want to, found it, but it doesn't appeal to your personal taste, or are still looking.

This show does not even have a strong plot, I am actually still unsure what the plot is.


Basically, the storyline is that they thought Kanade was the evil person and tried to kill her so they thought they can be happy. But from the 10th or 11th episode, they realized what they did was wrong and now found out their real goal of why they're in this world.

Too bad an anime is not about finding key concepts but how those same key concepts are presented. Correct me f I'm wrong, but those very same things I referred as being far-fetched are two of the key concepts or at least one is. Yet no one explained why they thought Kanade was evil in the first place.
That's an easy way of justifying all kinds of anime, each and every single anime has key concepts yet only a very small part of those are considered "incredible". That has to mean something.

The story is very poorly written. No adequate build-up of events, poor character developments, plot holes, loose ends, cheap explanations, odd and awkward scenes and some events didn't serve any purpose, merely for comedic relief.

"Because it's a 13 episode series" shouldn't be used as an excuse. They could have reduced those unnecessary scenes.

little busters


I know that, when the title mentions "Key works", it means "anime written by Key", or something to that effect. It is MyAnimeList, after all. However, I'd just like to compare Angel Beats! to another product that they have written (it isn't actually Little Busters!).

Angel Beats! has some major pacing problems. The length of the series is only partially to blame, and it's more likely that they just tried to cram too much into a small space. If you look at Planetarian, a visual novel by Key (it's not an anime, I know, but bear with me), which was only a few hours, you can see that Jun Maeda is capable of creating an emotionally compelling story that lasts only a short amount of time. Sure, it's a visual novel (kinetic novel, really), but maybe that's the root of the problem.

Jun Maeda writes visual novel scenarios, not anime scenarios. He may have worked with KyoAni on the adaptations of previous Key games, but this is, as someone pointed out previously, a Jun Maeda project. Not a Key project (besides Na-Ga's involvement). Not a KyoAni project. Not a combination of the two.

Perhaps he just wasn't used to writing for anime. It's not uncommon when a writer for one mode of entertainment switches to another (games to film, for example) and the product isn't what's expected.

Please note that I'm not trying to give an excuse for the pacing problems, just my theory for why these problems exist. Even if they are justified, they are still problems that exist and my opinion of the show won't change because of it.

End of wall.

People are always complaining about pacing problems of the show when in reality it has none. The pace is consistent throughout the show, it's really fast.

In the end it all comes down to personal preferences of how much stuff per episode is too much. Anybody complaining about pacing problems clearly doesn't like shows which have too much stuff crammed into a single episode.

Yes this isn't being biased, but I think that generalizing about the people who enjoy the show is verging on a troll. Now, I'm not a fanboy, and I dont count myself as new to anime either. I see and acknowledge the "gaping holes" in this anime, yet I find myself enjoying AB despite (or because?) of them. Most people rate a show based on their enjoyment, which is less to do with standards and more to do with personal taste. If you like it then you say its good, if you dont then you say its bad. Why do you think that shows with loads of fighting and absolutely no plot are so popular? It may be that what you say is right and I'm somewhat of an exception to the rule, but all i'm saying is that you shouldnt generalize about the people that like a show just because you dont.

And now that my rant is over I think I'll sign off from this thread. Tbh its getting to be like beating a dead horse. This thread badly needs a lock.

Baccano can do it right you know
What the matter is if you write a story you must create a strong structure and stand on that foundation, not consistently make a new stuff and make it seems random like this series does.

Angel Beats is definitely not his best work, it's not easy to top Clannad, he said so himself. IMO however, if given more episode length, Angel Beats should be better than Kanon. I mean, the characters, concept and plot is there... They just don't have enough time to "Fertilize and beautify the flower".

Though AB! have been a bit messy, I actually liked Angel Beats! more than Kanon...

IMO, the show is damaged by episode length and pacing.

But again, I haven't watch the last episode... Personally, I don't think it'll help the show too much... (I can only hope for a miracle)

well Maeda himself said that if by ep 10 (Yui's disappearance) he hasnt been able to get to you, then he considers that he failed to live up to expectations.

Also I dont really have incredibly high hopes for the final episodes seeing how all Key finales tend to be rather weak, no exception....Kanon, CLannad, Air, and After Story they all had rather underwhelming finales so im hoping he can break that streak here

Can't say i'm a fan of Kanon, Air's ending. But I'm actually a huge fan of After Story's ending. But to explain why I love it and how it all made sense = Another 5 paragraph explanation that I have wrote countless times...

back on topic.

Anyone ever seen a show that's this messy yet manage to pull through in the final episode? Just for reference and "spirit lifting"... personally, I know none.

O.o yea..

I actually enjoyed the pacing up till episode 9, then kinda dislike 10 for the awkward pacing, 11 was good, 12 was... another awkward episode...

the only 2 episode I'm not satisfy with, and they are meant to be strong episodes... lets hope they don't screw up 13 with awkward pacing.

However, episode 12 of AB! actually have my favorite moment of the whole series


For me, Yuri is the best character in the show.

The thing is, if the last episode actually took the time to explain its massive plot holes then it would have no time to impact the audience in the emotional way "Key" is supposed to, and if it tries to express itself emotionally then we're still left with these plot holes. Either way, this series is FUCKED!

And, lol, I know my review for Angel Beats may look contradictive on my statements now, but, well, they are... I wrote that on a whim when I had hope for Angel Beats.

Air was my first introduction to Key and Kyoto Animation and it was special to me, it was the first anime I'd ever watched where characters I cared about actually died and suffered.
In order I watched Air, Kanon 2006, Clannad and now onto Angel Beats. If I had to rank them in order of preference it would be:
Air, Clannad, Kanon, Angel Beats! (pacing really let it down)

Something that is really working against Angel Beats! is the fact that it only has 13 episodes and it seems like it really needs more then that, unlike with Air where I didn't really think it felt rushed... It should have been a 24 episode thing instead.
then your lame, the difference between angel beats and air is:

Air is Original and Beautifull, it just starts slow and its hard to understand the first time, but other than that its a true masterpiece .

Angeal Beats is Fanserviced and has a weak story and character development, its still good but Key is going off trail too much, they use too much fanservice and are getting repetive with alot of things. although the afterlife theme is interesting and refreshing and some episodes do have beautiful moments.

but
Air is the only TRUE NON fanserviced, ORIGINAL anime by Key. after that Clannad After Story, wich also has its fanservice share with the forced ending

Absolutely Yes! :)


you people are So dumb, if you cant see that air is a masterpiece like kanon and clannad you might need to rewatch it, its story is more original then ALL of the other keyworks but people dont like it fast because it confuses the crap out of them, if you understand the story you will love it.

the only thing thats wrong with air is that its not explained well enough and you are forced to rewatch it in order to understand it, but its a masterpiece.

when i first watched air i thought it w as "Okay" too, but my friend loved it so much she kept talking about it, so i was wondering why i didnt find it amazing and after a few weeks i rewatched it, i liked it alot more because i started noticing things i didnt understand the first time.

and now after watching air 3 times, i can truly say its s masterpiece, maybe even better then kanon and angel beats.

but most people are too dumb to see that and prefer loads of fanserviced animes

I soo agree!
A lot of people say it sucked because it so depressing and stuff but they just don't want to admit that they don't get it or the subconsciously shut themselves from embracing the masterpiece that it is.

Angel Beats was such a Key fail... I never thought KEY would make that mistake: bad plot distribution. Clannad After Story is "fanserviced" too as you say but more on the moe side. The sad moments in Angel Beats that I once cried for now turns into something that was just forced in there.

I love the whole concept of Afterlife and their bittersweet disappearance but really after the first 3 disappearances, it was just like "= . =" EVEN YURIPPE'S DISAPPEARANCE SCENE WAS SO BLANDLY PLAIN. It just didn't catch up.
And in AB! the most fanservice moment for me was Yuzuru saying "I love you " to Kanade. I mean, REALLY?? I thought he loved her as a younger sister. Or maybe that is just another result of the fail in the pacing of the show.

Over all the animation and music made it up for me. But that's not much for me... I mean the story is what I'm looking for in Key... But like any other Key anime, I laughed, cried[?] and got angered[in this case on the show itself XD]

It isn't as good as other key works because it was sorta predictable... for a Scifi type

Absolutely. Air remains one of the better anime I've ever seen, unfortunately to me it suffers from one problem Angel Beats! also suffers from, and thats a very short run time.

People don't care for intricate/confusing storytelling as much anymore. They must have EVERYTHING handed to them on a silver platter.
