THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
-THEY ARE THE SHADOWS, THE REFLECTIONS OF THEIR TRUE SELVES!


-Another shining moment by Kanade and fan favorite, TK.
But I have to say, it was a pretty decent fight scene. If this show does anything right, it has impressive looking action sequences.

-So, the shadows convert people into NPCs? Well, that explains why they are there in the first place, but how does it play into the whole 'Limbo' and 'God' aspect of the series?

Anybody else think this series is a prime example of 'identity crisis'? It seems to have a large bundle of ideas, that, while they are good on their own, but crammed into a 13 episode series, they aren't as fleshed out as they could be?

this...

The show is good in their sense of plot twists and characters but this entire series feels so rushed its hard to enjoy the events as they keep throwing them at you non stop

Also Yuri is a boss, fucking awesome

I thought it was a decent episode. It was quite interesting to see how the shadows turned out to be, I really didn't thought about that. Also Yuri was pretty cool this episode.

I think these are some possibilities for the future episodes:

1) In the next two episodes lots of characters disappear/turn into a NPC, except the core characters. (and naoi fanboying otonashi). They'll finish it for once and for all.
2) They decide they want to stay together to help Yuri whatever, and pull one final SSS (with Kanade finally ''accepted'') act together and god knows what happens after that.
3) The ''final enemy'' probably is one of them (Chaa?), simply introducing a new character would pull down the drama factor.

The title for the next episode is quite interesting, Angel Beats! sure turned out to be unpredictable at some points.

This is Angel Beats.

Disregard past plot points, introduce new one.

I mean, now, why make it a point that Otonashi was trying to make the other members move on? They played with that for one episode, mentioned here, and I doubt it will be brought up again.

As the passage is going to guild, maybe one of the people in guild are changing the npc's? Maybe the older looking guy who is in charge down there or something? Just my incling.. but overall i thought episode was OK but i think the series has moved slightly too fast.. Also, they just found a way to end the series without having to promise a second..meaning we probably won't get to see TK or shiinas story, which sucks tbh =//

EDIT: Also, Kanade's wings look amazing <3

The Three. Who's pullin' the shit down in the Guild? Who's playing Sims with that kind of power? Who is... The Architect?

I mean, Matsu wasn't there for the whole episode; Christ lookin' suspicious talking about the weather and change of heart in his diary and Chaa, well... I don't know shit about him. *sigh* It could be anyone.

It's funny how only a few characters from SSS were shown in this episdoe. The funny part is that this is funny xD
Haha, I am god, it is going to be my quote soon...

Whatever, this was a holy nice episode but no drama, just some developement for the anime.
What are they going to do with rest of theese 2 last eps? Something really peaceful and something that will bring everyone to rest of peace in one go will happen.

Episode 12: introduction of the guy pulling strings behind the scenes, fighting him blablalbalba, cool guy, fun?

Episode 13: Talking peace with the enemy, he talks about past, everyone together comes up with a great reason, motivation to disappear or else, everyone just found a better resolution, together they all disappear and have fun!

The ending of ep 13 will be positive (a happy ending)

DANCING IN THE SHADOW!

-That settles it. Key needs to do an action anime next. That fight scene in the beginning was freaking fantastic. Each one of them fighting in a different way and all. Naoi's twin guns style (lol "bow to me") and Kanade's slicing through the shadows were my favorite ones. Though Shiina's ninja moment was good too. You know what, let's just say I liked that entire fight.

-Lol at the Hinata vs. Naoi in the beginning. Yes Maeda. Give the yaoi more and more fuel.

-Brave Song always seems to have just the right moment to come up. This time it actually made me scared for the SSS.

-IT'S ALWAYS FREAKING GUILD! Seriously who is behind all this?

(FYI, the teacher Yurippe was talking to at the end was voiced by King Bradley, so I obviously put 2 and 2 together :D)

Unpredictable and fun. That's Angel Beats! for you. All I can say is the ending will either be happy or bitter-sweet. I've got a feeling we're going to see the reappearance of a Guild member from an earlier episode. I wouldn't be surprised if their was an organisation behind the guild that is revealed in the final moments of episode 12. I hope the next episode will deal with how Angel died. 9/10. I find it funny no one has mentioned Takamatsu becoming an NPC.

OMG. Every episode this show gets a new villain. It's incredible how fast paced one episode can fit into, but it keeps getting interesting. I really hope everyone chooses to just disappear instead of being a NPC for the rest of their lives.

And Yurippe, I wonder who the true villain really is..

"though it was per Maeda's request that he added the black headband, taken from the character Yukiko Amagi from Persona 4, who was Maeda's favorite heroine from that game." (Yuri's design, lol Wikipedia as a reference)
So... I'm gonna say that he played the game, so all these things I've been hearing about Naoi and the shadows, might have been because of that. Well not that I mind it since I've never played a Persona game.

Pretty cool how this episode felt like an anime of the Persona games (shadows, Naoto-lookalike).
Nothing seems to get past Yuri, as Otonashi and Hinata found out when they were busted lol.
Not a huge fan of the attempts at comedy which are found in almost every scene, cuz they seem to mess with the drama and pacing. Therefore, my favourite scene in this ep is probably in the hall when everyone in the SSS is told they should do whatever they want (plot progression, absence of any comedy and fitting bgm).

Seriously... They introduced a whole new arc after last episode's... arc. I am not really complaining that the execution sucked, but more they didn't extend to a double cycle. We have only gotten to find out the dreams and background of 5 characters, if they did more i don't think people would hate the idea.
Tenshi with actual wings.... <3
I'm starting to get into the TK hype.
As for the ending this is KEY by the way. There is no way there will be a happily ever after without a catch.

Epic episode! Tenshi with her wins was awesome! And I love Yuri :). TK made me laugh so hard when he was dancing with the shadow. " I Kiss you" when he shot him, and Naoi's dualies. Win!

It was sad to see Takamatsu eaten, I liked him. I really wanted to know Shiina and TK's story! Of course Yuri had to know Otonashi's plan all along, she's just too awesome to let that slip by.



Seeing Shiina so sad and lonely at the end, showing that she isn't actually probably that cold/quiet of a character. Made me want to know so badly her story, I wish we could've had an episode dedicated to her and one for TK. Some of the more interesting members, but so little is known.

2 episodes left is too short to end this anime. This anime needed to be 24 episodes badly. Nearly every episode is great, the action is fantastic, and I love all the characters. Good drama with a sad story line and some happy moments. Every episode is good. But each episode should've probably had been 2, or the idea from the last eps carried onto the next. Disappointing, but still a good anime non-the-less.

I love Naoi and Hinata. Period.
The series needs to Stop trying to make me like Yuri. I never will.
This really should have been a longer series than 13 episodes. It's good but it feels so rushed with only 13 episodes right now it feels like it doesn't know which way it was going. What about the side characters who I am interested in who are going to be reduced to nothing.
