Yep, definitely the best episode. A combination of hilarious moments (lol rocket chair replay), sad moments and music, what this show has the best to offer.

This episode's end is kind of cliche, showing how getting rid of one enemy by force just creates a worse one. But since the fact is true I guess the creators couldn't have done otherwise.

The more time passes, the more this seems like a bunch of kids not being able to accept conformism imposed by society because of some tragic event in their life. That's why they're taking everything so seriously, whether it's exams or simply breaking into a girl's dorm room just to not act like anyone else in every day's life. As for a logic explanation of all this, in context of a unrealistic world, I'm going with the sci-fi medical path.

Again loneliness seems to be another of Key's theme in this, with Kanade. (So sad ;_;)

RC said that Angel Beats will be dropping the emotional bomb at the end of the series, I kinda doubt it since the previous episodes was like, "What the hell?!" but now... ... Tenshi..

The best episode since episode 3, reminding me of the first season of Clannad, with a good amount of comedy, balanced with a good drama.

This ep redeemed the series quite abit for me and I still hate Yuri for railing off on Tenshi/Kanade. I swear when she lost her meal ticket I was like "NOOOOOO!!!" *heartbreak*

Totally shipping Tenshi/Kanade now 100%.

Loved the insert song + replay of the rocket chairs.

I have been on that ship ever since episode one. I didn't need to see Kanade eating cury alone or how bitchy Yuri is to decide...

Best episode yet.

The first half had me laughing a lot. Best part was the last rocket launch after the confession, because that totally threw me off :)

The second half was sad... I knew Tenshi was not a bad girl from the very second I saw her back in episode one. She just seems too nice to be one. She was very moe (and I mean true "moe" in my eyes, not those moe-wannabes in K-ON) in the second half, eating by herself.

Also, it didn't surprised me at all that the succeeding student council leader proved to be the real asshole around.

Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol.

LOL, so the rocket chairs weren't just Otonashi's imagination. Woo rocket chairs.


What's really funny is those are just momentary distractions, then everyone goes back to what s/he was doing. You'd think after the 2nd launch the teacher would pull Hanaka out of class and make him sit in the hallway at the least. Out here in the RW if someone did that BATF would swarm the school. The NPCs really are NPCs, it seems.

Also, Angel wasn't the slightest bit concerned with SSS being in the classroom. In fact she kind of insisted on it, wanting them to fit in and...disappear?

The slow-motion replay made the launches really funny - cringe-worthy funny, as you got to think about how much ramming head-first into the ceiling was going to hurt for a LONG time.

I loved this episode, but I think the second episode was my favorite so far, but none of them made me laugh as hard as this one.

When Yuri launched Hinata instead of Ooyama, that made me laugh sooooo freaking hard. haha. I love how they play the dramatic music in replay/slowmo everytime something like that happens ><

I also love how they turned around the good guys and made them out to be bad guys. I sort of thought Angel might be someone who showed up there first or something. Only time will tell, though.

Haha I feel 100% the same on all you said. I wonder if he is an NPC or not?

Loved this episode. Looks like Tenshi is just a normal person then, maybe it's because of the obligation of the student council president to go and stop everyone from doing bad things, that Tenshi acted like that. Even more, it seems she was nice? The new president seems like he's going all out to kick the SSS's butt.

This anime is the best one I've seen in a long time, I recommend anyone watching it and after every episode, I get like "I can't wait for the next episode *-*"

It's becoming more interesting again.
Don't know if I like the last stuff that happened, but I'll find that out in ep6.

Why not fight against ordinary students? I thought no one can die anyway. And if some NPC would "die"... well.
Anyway, I laughed at the new army under the new student council leader. What school has such a BIG "enforcement-army"? :D

Hehe. Just checked the character favorites. Tachibana currently has 159 favorites and Yuri has 94. Before this episode Tachibana had under 100 favorites but this episode boosted her popularity quite a lot. Don't remember how much Yuri had before this ep, but her favorites certainly doesn't seem to be increasing :P.

Better episode. I kinda feel bad for Angel (Tachibana) now.

As of late? Where have you been the past 5 episodes?

This was best episode so far. Nice balance between comedy and drama.
I liked the comedy a lot in this episode. It was funny. Especially the whole confession to Tenshi.
Rocket Chairs for the win!

I didn't take any effort for me to feel sympathy for Kanade/Angel. It looks like everyone has real problems now. And I would've shot the ordinary students anyway. What exactly would be the problem with that?

One thing I liked about this episode is that they finally gave Angel's true name and that they proved that she isn't the bad guy. Though I still think the S.S.S went too far this time , especially what happens at end ;_;.

I liked Yui's performance though , but one thing came to mind... can it be possible that angel was forced to serve God because she was the Student President ? What I mean is that did'nt her human side show more after she lost her position as the Student President?
