THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
This is the way an OVA should be. Granted it was a bit short, but that just left me wanting more. It showed the potential of a second season. I found the other Angel Beats Speacial to be just rather stupid, not really adding anything to the story or entertaining me in the least as is too often the case with OVAs. I hope they get another season!

Lol, Otanashi 2 cool 4 school.

I was quite sadden by this episode, not disappointed sadden, emotionally sadden. The fact that Otonashi 'stayed' behind to help other people get through as well as the fact that they stated 'he was waiting for someone'.

Does anyone know what it meant by 'Next Stage" at the end of the OVA/Ep? Kinda lost me there.

Perhaps this is wishful thinking, but more specials/season 2? But it certainly is plausible that the blond guy and Otonashi could form a new organization, a second-generation SSS.

But this isn't what happened right? This was just what would have happened if he did stay behind.

Thats what I want to believe.

So, based on the comments here I take it this is basically an alternate ending with Otanashi staying behind? Interesting. I had no idea who the blonde guy was in this episode.

Gaaah, I really want to watch this with subs. All I could find was Raw, Thai subs, and Spanish... >.>

Mazui already did it.

Mazui? That's a torrent/download, isn't it? I always wait for the streams. But thanks anyway.

This episode is probably talking about his friends that he lost or something like that ....

hidden-anime.com got it subbed already, u can watch there :)

@MilkLover - Thank you! Just watched it. ^_^

Wow, totally different side to Otanashi there. I'd love a second season for Angel Beats with either of the endings they displayed. Err, well, maybe not the ending for the other OVA, though. Haha.

Of course, I liked the originally happy ending better, but this one would make for a better second season, I think. Then again, with the mystery of why they're there being removed, I'm not sure how interesting it would be. Ah, Key would probably think of something if they did decide to do it.

it could be that he didnt go back right away, got tired of waiting, and left to be reincarnated for the epilogue from episode 13

So Otonashi becomes the student council president, basically I think this OVA is about Otanashi waiting for people to join his rank? I mean now that everyone else has passed on, so his waiting for others or something and help them to move forward? heck I dont even understand, but well cool to see Otonashi with a much different and mature personality, he even gives this cool vibe around him... heeee :) maybe the next season(if I'm not mistaken there will be a season 2) will tell the story of Otanashi as the student council president? hurmmmm (=.=)

this could be the explanation, good observation to tie up the reincarnation of otonoshi and kanade at the end of the TV series

but from first viewing of this i thought this is some kind of alternative ending you know some sort of visual novel game where there are different routes of the story so its like this for Angel Beats

so with this there might be a second season but they can totally forget making one too

This basically shouts there will be a 2nd season. Meh.
@mastersanzo20010: interesting observation. Since we know time flows at different pace in the real world and, huh, the purgatory world(?), maybe that's what actually happened.

I loved it.

There should be an Otonashi After OVA or something. That was epic and has a lot of potential to go somewhere as long as Otonashi leads the way.

The person Otonashi was talking to reminds me at Edward Elric (FMA) xD. But the episode really looks like there will be a second season of AB. And I think that he was/is waiting for Tenshi.

lol ok i googled and wiki says this about Epilogue - An epilogue, or epilog, is a piece of writing at the end of a work of literature -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epilogue

so ye this episode is just an Alternative Ending to the TV series

Why don't they just make a visual novel out of Angel Beats already? xD They had a 'bad end' in the previous OVA and now they had an 'alternate ending' here too.
