| Angel Beats has become one of my favourit shows too. I came to a very similar conclusion after recently watching he show. The only thing that i think is definatley wrong with your theory is, that Kanade and Otonashi (or any other of the chacters) meet randomly in their new lives. It seems to me like the afterlife sets everything up on purpose so that everyone has the chance to achieve their dreams, and when you leave it takes your wishes and the bonds you created into account and sets you up to meet again so you can now live a fullfilling life. The best example would be Yui and Hinata |
| Some characters still remember each other from their previous life which is a plot hole since that shouldn't be possible. We never get to know or understand why the afterlife has a fucking high school in it. Plot isn't really important either since they never focus on it, instead they have cliché rom com scenes and a festival to take up time. 0 originality, 0 depth and 0 percent logic. |

Did they state anywhere that remebering somone from your past life should be impossible? Niddy said: We never get to know or understand why the afterlife has a fucking high school in it. The purpose of that specific part of the afterlife is, to allow high school kids who died with regrets to achieve what is necessary to get over their regrets. Using a High school makes sense because it is a setting that is familiar to all the people involved. It even makes sense for Yui because im pretty shure living a normal highschool kids live would have been something she wanted to do. |
SheeshBird said: SPOILERS! Hello! Angel Beats! is one of my favourite anime. I watched it when I was younger for the first time and back then I didn't think about the 12th episode that much. Not even about the question why Otonashi gets into this afterworld when Kanade was there already for a long time. So, after watching it the second time (about two years after the first time watching).. I had this idea and I investigated. The following link shows a chronological description of the plot (English and German) and includes my theory/truth. To be able to understand all that a bit better, you should watch the 12th episode again. Well.. I guess that you may want to watch the whole series again after reading this. For me it's all clear and there aren't any other endings or theories. I really think that this is the one and only truth. Please tell me your thoughts to all that! http://i.imgur.com/yKcWSXm.jpg Thank you, Hinnerk about the whole timeline thing, based on the prequel (Angel Beats! Heaven's Door) we can conclude that the people present in that "world" are from random time periods, for example Shiina is from ancient Japan. |
| I remember watching it some 5 years ago... And remember that I definitely enjoyed watching it, but it didn't leave long lasting memories. This in my dictionary means that it was not very exceptional for me. Dunno I still think it's overhyped, so I doubt I will ever return to watch it again :? ps. I checked the forum, just because I saw a review, which kinda reminds me of what I think about the anime. |
