Angel Beats remake?

Ponds667 said:
I don't remember Angel Beats being terribly confusing or rushed, but I did watch it like 3 years ago. I'd watch a remake, but I doubt they would make one.

I mean, one scene just focus on the comedy that lets you turn off your brain, in the next scene they slap you like 3 explanations you have to understand quickly or you're a lost sheep. Maybe it was just me who was not thinking hard enough, I don't know. Some questions weren't even answered (how time works in that world, how did the characters die, what backstory the characters had) and character interactions with most of them were really lackluster, they could have done that with more episodes added (of course they would have had to expand the plot, but atleast we would have gotten more action too).

that's fair. It was one of the first shows I watched so whatever I do remember is through rose-tinted glasses.

When you get into Anime it is like your first time maybe it was bad maybe it was good but you will remember it as gratest.
As far as the remake goes i think it whould be nice but it isnt necessary needed as this show had a good ending already

HunLepto said:


This was definitely not in my first animes and even those that were, I can judge those just as much even though I enjoyed them. And just because it had a good ending, doesn't mean it was the greatest story ever. What I'm saying is if they fleshed out the story more, everything could have had more impact and not just for those who are over-emotional.

This wasnt not one of my First Animes eather nor do i consider it to be a grate anime it was a decent show thats all and i didnt read the manga so i cant tell if it is any difrent i just know that the ending was bit rushed and thats all. I watched it 8 years ago so i cant remember it that well.

I really wanted to like Angel Beats and the beginning felt promising, but I just can't like it when I think back to it due to it's very rushed state and forced story. The drama became melodrama, the jokes became forced and anyone aside the main characters was just known by character interactions, no backstory or private talks with them. I always th

What do you think, would you still watch a 26 episodes or more long remake with a proper rewrite that fills in most plotholes too? Do you think there's any chance of that happening even today?

It doesn't need a remake original is still pretty good.

HunLepto said:


Well, nothing that happened aside the emotional scenes was really memorable, so that's understandable. I was just pissed off when I sat through the show hoping it will get better, yet it didn't. Nowadays I don't really care, I let people find this post and see what they would think. Of course, many more things happened since 8 years ago, mainly it having a VN adaptation that I haven't checked out, yet people say it's better than the anime.

@Gwenze

i can only recommend reading the manga and light novels of it since text base stories are more character driven so you can fall in love with the characters more that way

HunLepto said:


I mean, for me, good drama seem only good with character driven stories. If you barely know anything about them aside a bit of SoL moments, you can't expect the emotions flowing through the viewer during a dramatic scene.

Gwenze said:


i think emotion can best understood with music, look at the yui episode from angels beats or your name. Both have great music pieces.

HunLepto said:


Music certainly helps alot, it can paint situations much better, but it should not be the main source. Like watch a good emotional anime or read a good VN, Katawa Shoujo for example, there's brilliant music there, but what really brings out the feelings are the characters and their hard goings.

CascadeMedia said:
I think music is the important piece, i hear the music often without the anime and can have the same feeling when i watch the anime.

There's Last Operation, which is basically an Angel Beats remake that tells a more complete version of the story, but it's a manga and it's still ongoing.
