| Well, yeah. I said a few episodes that they need an editor also, but when you get down to it...the writing is just bland as hell, and screams 'rip off.' Maybe he should only say, "Gaiz, I got this really cool idea..." and let real writers handle it from then on, and an editor say, "NO. This is nonsense." |
| Haruhi meets the Architect. Will we get an Angel Beats Reloaded? I don't know why people are so suprised/annoyed/confused by the revelation in this episode. I mean it's not like we didn't see that coming since 3-4 episodes into the show. Sure it's not original but certainly predictable. My biggest complaint is the pacing and info dump one episode before the end. |

| Yuri's laugh was Higurashi-ish. |

 |
| I agree with the people who say this was way too fast. I was like "what?" for the most part. As always, the central plot of the afterlife, who's God, what the main characters' goals are, are confusing to me as always. Nonetheless, I think I kind of get it. So I guess in the end, it was a pretty good episode (not the best). I am definitely looking forward to what of dramatic (or trollish happy-ending) they will put off in the next episode. |
 Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol. |
Dandere-chan said: What's with the Haruhi comparaison, this is even more retarded than the directing of this show which I agree wasn't that good. Probably because she looks like Haruhi, leads a group named SSS which is in name similar to SoS, and has been given the chance to be god or whatever. I guess this suffices for people to make comparisons. And Naoi looks and speaks like Naoto from Persona 4. Even the names start with the same kanji, I think this is too suspicious to be merely a coincidence. Just saying. But I like him the same since he's actually funny. |
| I love the scene when Yuri sceams that human beings don't have the patience to wait even 10 minutes. So sad. She's my favourite character. Looking forward for the last episode and I hope it will give this series a nice ending. |
| yuri couldn't been end boss :(. I'm sad this isn't going to go longer as there could of been a lot more characterization going around. oh well I guess a 2nd season isn't impossible. still just everyone disappearing seems too sad. |

Oh please, elaborate in what way she look like Haruhi or in what way does she act like her? The only thing that is similar is the body size and the fact that they both have a ribbon on their head. The concept of this show is a fight against the unfairness of life which is beleived by Yuri to be because of God. The only thing in common between Haruhi and AB storyline is that both have the word 'god' in it, that is a really weak comparaison. Inb4 troll: I am not butthurt or anything, I'm more mindhurt than anything because I can't comprehend the stupidity said in this thread. |

thethorndog said: well, nice ep, didnt understand much though, if anybody cares to explain ill be happy. also, it is pretty obvious who is pulling the strings, cmon its christ Yup He was tired of Yuri not giving him the respect, i mean all he wanted was to be called by his cool alias! Um if you didn't understand it there was a nicely done Q & A on one of the past pages of this discussion if it really peaks your interest. |
| ...the hell did I just watch? What a blatant rip-off of the Matrix storyline. At first, the whole architect-esque character had me rolling my eyes, but then they went even further with the "source." Seriously? This didn't work for the Matrix, and it's definitely not going to work here. Not to mention that this all seemingly came out of nowhere. I expected more, honestly, as I was enjoying this anime up to now. |
| Yes! Turn my children! |

Inb4 troll: I am not butthurt or anything, I'm more mindhurt than anything because I can't comprehend the stupidity said in this thread. I didn't say she acted like Haruhi (please learn how to read before lashing out at people), I said she looked like her: http://img2.sankakustatic.com/wp-content/gallery/cache/38948__468x_angel-beats.jpg to http://img1.sankakustatic.com/wp-content/gallery/cache/38987__468x_angel-beats-vs-haruhi-comparison-2.jpg And I didn't say the storyline was the same has Haruhi's, I just lol'd at the fact they even got to the point of mentioning she could be god, pretty much like they said Haruhi is supposed to be god. Interesting though, how would you explain Naoi looks, speaks and uses two guns at times like Naoto from Persona 4? Want me to fetch some comparison pics for that too? It's not a stupid comparison, it's a comparison. And I can very well express my opinion as you express yours. I just said they have curious points in common, which they have. And no, I'm not going to say you're butthurt or the likes, I don't need to be aggressive or a troll to get my point through. Though, I have to tell you, if you enjoy this series you aren't doing much to convince others why this is good. I don't think calling other opinions stupid is a strong argument either. |
ShibuyaRiver said: I was thinking it was going to be Yuri's family and the entire cast, all clapping in a circle around Yuri going. "CONGRADULATIONS!" Ahahahaha good one. Anyways, this series is leaving me with mixed feelings. I wanna like it but the story is just cramming so much stuff at me without explaining the stuff it crammed before.... Meh, here's to hoping the final episode is good. |
| This is going the path of Durarara, something really great at the beginning with a nice concepts and great characters, up to halfway when it just changes. I loved Angel Beats just cause I thought it was about seeing how the members lived in this world, and little by little we would learn about them, all leading up Yuri and Otonashis final moments when they would get closure. This fake GOD computer lab episode really brought this series down a few levels, I dont see how the ending in ep 12 will redeem it. I mean yea the 5 core members are still left but still, all the others were great and GoDeMo. Who knows we might get a nice surprise in ep 12 and learn something about Kanade, but still ep 11, really cheated this anime as a whole for me. |
Dandere-chan said: Inb4 troll: I am not butthurt or anything, I'm more mindhurt than anything because I can't comprehend the stupidity said in this thread. No, you're "even more retarded than the directing of this show", for not admitting the obvious. Sorry but what has to be said, must be said. Fukiri already gave a good explanation and a respectful reply so I'm just gonna leave my troll post here until a moderator passes by. Also I don't see why comparing Angel Beats to Haruhi would make the former seem bad. I like this show and I don't have that kind of complex. Bottom line is: chill. |
| ---------------------- -- -- wew i want yuri and that main character will have a romance or that angel.. !! |

Fukiri said: This. And aloper said: Yeah. I was kinda expecting something like this:OMG is the seiyuu for that random NPC Ishida, Akira? Yuri: Are you god? NPC: God ja nai, random NPC da. |

| Despite what other people have said, I thought the episode was really good. At least Yuri got some closure from her siblings, and that's good enough for me. |
 |
| Good episode. Awesome episode. Yup. One cannot live day after day without reaching for a higher purpose, so in this case, it's what controls their world. I don't see why anybody would expect a story to be so linear and plain with displaying only the characters living their lives. That's boring and not wanted. Too bad I hate having discussions on forums because I always have to check who replied and shit. bleh. |
    |
| lol whut? Well the guy was interesting and I kind of get it, but still what? Ehh it's a Yuri episode. Still hate you Yuri <3 why didn't you vanish just now? Go be a water flea already. Feel like I will lower my score to a 7 maybe a 6. If they don't do shit with Tenshi I will be so FUUUUUUUU Why I liked the Yui episode it would have been better spent on Tenshi. and PSHHHHHHHHHHH Yuri's crazy moment was lame her face was so nonthreatening and flat. |

| That's a whole lot of dudes disappearing at once~ Damn it, T.K. is actually cool. xD Now it's not just because of his random English phrases, but he actually is cool : D Herp derp, Otonashi's the creator, harr harr harr Anyway, Tenshi <3 And crazy Yuri <3 Oh btw, is it just me, or is like.. Everyone who's ever been in it, in the ED now? : | |

soluuloi said: Well that's something I didn't consider. Regardless that programmer has no importance to the plot. It's just some simple history on the Angel Player.I dont know if there are anyone who have said this but the chance that the NPC Yuri was talking to is the progammer himself is almost 100%, so he is not a random character... |

Whoa, good point there from Soluuloi 0.0 The programmer might have been that NPC! He did mention that the programmer turned himself into one... :D |

silent_killer said: @notedhero . . You speak the truth . This show started well . And has fallen pretty badly . . Seriously . . It has been the case wit most of the shows this season http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrjwaqZfjIY Frankly this is the only Key-soap show i could enjoy (that is after turning my logic, reason and care off and turned suspension of disbelief to eleven, that is, the same way i watched last season of lost) without droping. As for episode: 4/5. |

| Heads up guys. Season finale of Angel Beats! is coming next week!! Will this episode be epic? We shall see!! Also, I started to take interest in Oyama. He looks cool in sniping skill!! |

| I should have dropped this series ages ago...Sadly, I think it's too late now. Let's wait for the last episode and see. |
| I hope that they can give a proper closure for this series next week. Anyway, this show won't surpass their previous works. It's not really that bad at all but it's not that good too. Honestly, the story can come up nicely. It's already there. However, it lacks something to make it stand out for me. I can't make it out not unless if I watch next week's episode. |
     |
| Damn, that was a nice rifle. |
| I dont have too much to say about this episode... Lets wait util the last. However the animation was very good. |
 |
| I don't know if anyone said this but I think the reason why Otonashi can't disappear is because he wanted to save more people and he's finally getting to do it, so i think he'd be the last one to leave. |
| Real Hell is inside a person-Ai Enma (Jigoku Shoujo Mitsuganae) Do you know where hell is? Inside your head-Chrona (Soul Eater)  |
| Wow 5-Dan with weight lost is a stud =O But yeah.. wonder how they will wrap it up. |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
