I watched this anime years ago and loved it ever since. I do however, feel it has its flaws. I was thinking recently about how I wish this show would get a remake since it didn't get to explore its full potential. I was interested in what others would want in a hypothetical remake. It sucks the chances are very little of ever happening.

Something I would definitely change is the series length. Most of its problems I think stem from its short episode count. It had such a great premise and characters. It definitely would've worked better as a 24-36 episode series. I read somewhere that it was original planned to be a 24 episode show, but it was unfortunately trimmed down. Because of the short ep count it seemed they had too many characters and only were able to explore a few. So most of the cast was pretty much reduced single personality traits. Also with more episodes the pacing wouldn't be as rushed (especially at the end). And they could possibly better set up to final twist, so viewers wouldn't get as confused.

What are some changes you would want in a remake? What would you keep?

2 cours, more characters getting an arc, those two are the only things in my book that held it back.

I heard AB was supposed to have 2 cours originally but for some reason they changed to only 1 cour in the end.

Definitely more episodes. So many characters were not fully explored and a few arcs were pretty rushed. Adding more episodes to allow for a more natural flow of events and more character depth would be pretty neat

I think the pacing is ok, but the side characters needed more screen time.

I agree with you here bud but what id like to see is maybe a movie or OVA where they all somehow meet up and we get to see their lives after reincarnation along with seeing kanades past and how she died

Yeah, definitely agree. Maeda Jun's Anime needs at least two cours/20+ episodes for it to pan out the characters and realize the full potential of its story.

I'll give arcs that focuses on SSS members such as Shiina, Matsushita, Noda, Takamatsu, Fujimaki and others, have flashback episode pre Otonashi's arrival, expand more on Kanade's character, expand the last arc prior to the last episode to at least 5 episodes.

Agreed, but make it a prequel season, otherwise the impact of the first season would be completely lost.

A remake seems somewhat redundant - Logically you could extend it out to 18 EPs to get more character depth for the side cast but anime almost always works in cores - A full two core Angel Beats would end up padded out with Sol shenanigans or massive amounts of character backstory Flashbacks.

Aside from that what's to change?
The art is still on par with anything today, the music is still some of the best - Production in general is great.


Now what I would like to see is an adaption of the prequel manga - That's packed with loads of awesome depth that fills plot gaps and adds to character beats - A 12 EP adaption of that would be very much so, most welcome.
(I should add, said manga Is already canon to my knowledge - Check it out if you want more angel beasts literally available right now😉😉)

bro i actually agree with that. maybe im biased bc my waifu is masami iwasawa. but in the manga they gave more light to the girl band members besides yui. about how otonashi fell in love with iwasawa and how one of the band members also is in love with iwasawa. i mean im in love with iwasawa so i cant blame em

I don't think there should be a remake, maybe making the angel, for people who haven't seen it, a little less over power.

The second half was incredibly rushed. If they could have done the second half well, it could've been a decent show

No need to prolonged it with more padding or filler. It pretty decent of what it is now. The story is not really as much interconnected or plot heavy to requires lot of episode. If they just follow usual flashback and one character coming to realisation of his inner demon each episode then it would just be repetitive and would get boring.

I just wish they could do it as originally intended, because, as you said, their ep count got drastically cut and they didn't get to do what they wanted in the first place. ":((

I thought the end was a bit rushed but the feels still hit hard and I thought it was still great I don't really believe in remakes I feel like pieces of art should be kept untouched the way it is at least in terms of shows I kinda have a different opinion when it comes to video games tho I feel like the first two Witcher games def need a remake lol

As I see it, the main issue with Angel Beats! is that it tries to do a lot of stuff, but end up doing none.
At a first look it seems that this show have it all; the action packed scenes, the hilarious comedy, the good characters development and the heartbreaking sad parts. But if you take those different "sides" of the show individually you'll notice that somehow they feel incompleted. So at the end (with all this sides blended) the show fails to make you feel immersed in it because you always feel that something is missing. (This is only my pov ofc).
what would I have done if I was KyoAni?
Make it a 24 eps anime, simple as that.

Longer. Make it a double season. More time to flesh out the characters. The ending was super rushed.

TK needs a standalone series, AB comedy and action rocks, the drama kinda sucks and skippable.

I agree totally. The graduations of most of Battlefront were cut out. It would be cool if they had more focus on their individuality.


My biggest regret: Reading all 200+ chapters of Kanojo, Okarishimasu
