Well, personally, i'd like to see where they could go with it, maybe make a short series showing the characters interactions after the end of the series? something like an ova to give some fans some closure, those who are very curious as to how the characters lived after the end of season 1, or maybe a remake showing a new perspective of season 1 or a new season with a new character in the afterlife, either way, i'd like to see more, they rounded it up well, but I think they still left a few loose ends
I'd rather see a remake than a sequel, specifically with about a 25 episode length, IMO. Had so much potential, but alas, the short episode run really ruined it..
Fight Club > Anime
Scott Pilgrim > Manga
Death Cab for Cutie > Yuki Kajura

There probably will be a remake once the VN hits the scene, from what I´ve heard, it will have six volumes, each one with some routes, so we can expect a Clannad-size Angel Beats remake. That would be awesome to say the least, and I want them to specifically expand on Yuri´s route, since I think it´s the one that had the most potential.
That said, all the characters will have their own routes, so it´ll be awesome-

actually based on rumors it potentially will be way longer than Clannad O_O so there's even better hope :D
@All
Because The Alternative Ending already shows Otonashi as Student Council President and is waiting for Someone to Comeback, P.A.Works Is Going To Air Angel Beats 2 Next Year.
They could make Angel Beats 2 with a romance storyline.
Also the alternative epilogue is pointless to continue due to it being repetitive don't you think?
There are many plot holes in the story, as to why kanade was there before yuzuru, and the could make a romance series that takes place in the reincarnations, as like everyone meets up in the real world or what not, there are limitless possibility's..

Kanade was there before Yuzuru because he found fulfillment in life in the last moments of his life and it confused his soul and it ended up wandering into the Afterlife. Thats what they hinted in the anime.
I would love a session 2... But I would like it from where the first session ended with him meeting Kanade I think their could be something there if you put time into the plot and the events of the story
love to see a remake....
especially expanding KANADE's story....i mean fuck she's a very important character but no backstory??
i mean sure you know she's alone and stuff but those are just thought and no before death memories
I just started reading manga and seeing story of that - thus prequel of AB would also be nice ^^ I learned quite a lot new things about characters in just few hours ? of reading and seeing it animated would be great
I've got a bad habit of clicking spoilers too fast, then regret it ..

this is not true if you watch to the absolute end of the final episode after the credets it shows our main lead [alive] sitting on a wall while angel [bitch that tore his heart out] went by him humming the song they sang at there graduation and then he chases after her leaving it open for a complete reunion and a previous life memory gain so
I think a good ideas for the second season would be that wile all the main people in the first season are living there new lives the world that they where all in has been filled with ressless souls for some reasion and theses people form loads of groups of people inwhitch there is just endless fighting with all theses new methods of fighing as you can make anything in this world. Most of the people in the world think they are in hell so there is just an endless cycle of pain and the world just keeps getting bigger..and the old characators have to pick between there peaceful lives or going back and helping the ressless souls. I thought that would be a good ideas for a seaqual but I like the idears of the prequals. I really liked this anime as of the good mix of blood ,humour and romance. This is the only anime I think that can have a joke about everyone being killed in one episode as they just come back to life lol
I would like to know the story of Kanade,TK,hisako and other characters and who programmed the shadow to appear also how yuri died maybe VN will sum it all up,2nd season hmm I would like to but I can't see story going anywhere as the main focus of anime was afterlife or Itl be just like malancholy of haruhi when they all reunited in school and do random stuff,or they reborn but now need avoid death(like final destination).
dark5535 said: If you think about it, they could make a second season, in which all of the characters turned out to only be in coma, and were all hooked up to a conputer simulation, who knows.
stop.
i think like that too because i want to know about other character past and why kanade was in that world before yuzuru because yuzuru died first and his heart have been given to kanade...and what the most wondering me why kanade sing"my song" if she was reincanate and yuzuru notice that and chase her...i really like if season 2 about thier are meeting again in reality...i really want to know what happen to other member like shiina,tk,matsushita,noda that protect otonashi and i really want to know about eri shiina past...
I would love a sequel following either ending, be it in the real world with the original ending, or in the afterlife world with the alternate epilogue. However, to be honest, I feel the series would benefit a lot more from a remake and prequel (in that order). The original show had a lot of potential, but it ended up being a bit to choppy, and there were some unexplained issues.
I don't think it's likely to happen, but I hope it will some day. Angel Beats! is a pretty awesome show, despite its flaws.
I personally believe that a season 2 is very much possible. In fact, after thinking about it for a little while here is an example of how it could be like: (contains major spoilers from the first season, be advised)
Ending of the first, Beginning of the second.
Okay, so we left the first season with 2 endings and that makes it harder for there to be a second season. Unless...
In the first ending, Otonashi is chasing what seems to be Kanade in the real world, but when he is about to reach her the screen goes blank. What if the second season begins with that exact scene, but when the screen goes blank he wakes up at the school with his hand reaching desperately, but with nothing there? This would merge both endings together and establish continuity from the previous season in the same universe.
With the beginning and the universe of the anime set to be from where it left in the first season, we now would need an interesting plot to continue the story.
Plot
Initially, it would only be about Otonashi helping lost souls in the school. This should happen for 2 episodes or more depending on the total number of episodes, but then something extremely weird happens: Otonashi notices that one of the people that he starts helping out is Yuri's sister (the oldest of her 3 siblings that died to the smugglers).
That creates a weird paradox, since Yuri's sister died way before Yuri herself, and yet she got there After Yuri did. With that, Otonashi starts thinking that the later you died in the real world, the earlier you would wake up in this school world. This would also explain why Kanade was there when he woke up, even though he died first. (Also, this would prepare the season for the appearance of his sister there)
After that, he would keep helping people (with the help of Yuri's sister) but as he would help more people, he would start having visions of links between his former life and the life of his former companions from season 1. For example, he could have a vision showing that one of the people he saved from the train was the one involved with the death of Yuri, or with the death of her siblings.
These visions would start happening more frequently and could provide a lot of missing backstory for the previous season.
After a while, Otonashi would want to investigate this school world and his visions. But since he also needs to help lost people, he creates an NPC to help people for him (you guessed it right, this is going to be the NPC that is sitting in the computer room at the end of season 1).
Along the episodes, as Otonashi has more visions and gets more obsessed with the world around him, Some random scenes would appear throughout episodes showing that yellow flower (the one he had with him in the alternate ending of season 1) slowly dying, meaning that he was losing his sanity little by little.
Eventually, his dead sister would appear at the school. And as he helps her and Yuri's sister fade away, his last moments of sanity would fade with them.
With his sanity lost and exhausted from existing in this world for so long. Otonashi would create, with the help of his before-created NPC, a program that would not allow loved ones to fade, so whenever someone loved another person in this world, his program would activate and turn them into NPCs to exist together forever. In his insanity this was to not allow anyone to suffer as he did (having lost all his friends, kanade and his sister).
He also creates a program to try to destroy his own soul, because he couldn't bare living in that world anymore. In the end of the last episode, when he activates that program to destroy his soul, a scene with all his previous visions playing extremely quickly happens and then it stops showing the face of Kanade in a white background.
After that, the sound of his heart beating with a white background would play for a little bit (the heart that's inside Kanade) and the very First scene of the first season would play right after it, the one with him waking up with his memory lost.
Sorry about the wall of text, and if you did read it all, I hope you could imagine what I tried to write.

idd that could be a season 2 lets just hope the do it but still nice story what you wrote!^^
Rarity said: Why would anyone want a second season? What could they possibly go off of with the finale of the first season? Sigh.
Well because in the ending they all leave but Otonashi stays back to help with the next people who come and help them pass on; But then again they leave you wondering about the life after death and if you are doing some thing that allows to die care-free... that is just my opinion make as it as you please
No need for second season. What the series really need is a complete rebuild. That thing need to be fixed, more episodes, less melodrama and more depth and backstory. And more T.K.
Kolnikov said: No need for second season. What the series really need is a complete rebuild. That thing need to be fixed, more episodes, less melodrama and more depth and backstory. And more T.K.
I agree. I hope some day (maybe after the VN comes out) they pull a Kanon and redo it but more fleshed out and focused.
ther's yes and no for season 2 , i prefer yes because they are reincarnate which means they all go back to the real world , why don't release one episode to show us , what will happen to them in the real world , would they find each other and become best friend again or they just forget all of the thing in their afterlife and going in different path ?. i hope their will be onether episode , at least one episode and they will be best friend again. i'm asking like this because in episode 13, after credit , its only kanade and otonashi that show up , i want to know what happen next to hinata and yui , and the other. for people who say no for season two , i think that the best ending and some of you say don't ruin the ending , i aggre with that but don't you fell that you want to know more what happen to them after their reincarnate especially for hinata and yui :D ?

HaXXspetten said: a significantly longer, broader and more satisfying remake will very likely be made in maybe 5 years or so however
I'm all for that, the ending felt quite rushed (as well as everything after the shadows' appearance, tbh). You can really see why people say it was planned to be 25 episodes long.

when the Angel Beats VN is finished
Speaking of that, any news on that front? :(
The first volume is supposed to come out in 2014....
There haven't been any news lately, so I'm not getting my hopes up. Even if it gets released, it's going to be divided into 6 volumes, so it's going to take years before it gets completed/translated.
If they turn it into a dating sim, I'm going to rage hard.
FailAtLife said: I've seen a lot of anime. I'm an elitist. My opinion: You dumbfuck there is no second season.
I haven't seen a lot of anime. I'm not an elitist. My opinion: You dumbfuck, he was asking about a season 2, and if you follow the convo it changed into whether or whether not it needs an S2.
That_Asian_Guy said: Yes there is going to be one but it's a new project
how ya know?
He doesn't. There isn't going to be a season 2 as far as anyone knows. The first part of the visual novel, expanding the story will be released soon and an OVA will be released the 24th of June.
Shiveron said: They in no way set it up for anything to go off of with the way they ended. I think a remake would be nice, especially a full 24-26 ep remake. Maybe then they'd actually be able to put some development into the characters instead of just a 5 minute back story before making them disappear.
Really? well I want second season too :)

The maker of Angel Beats clearly stated in an interview ( Maeda Jun ) that he does not want to make a 2nd season. But there will come an anime from the same maker as Angel Beats. That anime is called Charlotte
