| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- GirlsDeMo disappear, 5-Dan disappears, Chaa disappears, Yuri comes back from being a NPC, Kanade lives for Aiur, God is a bishonen, LOVE MAKES THIS WORLD GO AROUND (literally), NO YURI YOU ARE THE GOD, SCREEN SHOOTING, and OMEDETOU YURI. Honestly, I feel like the only two things worth mentioning in this episode are..   Final episode is up next. And honestly, the show has alot to make up for if it wants to save itself from the depths of medicority, I think this episode was a step in the right direction, but it's the second to last episode. Going in the right direction at this point might not add up to anything. |

| this was a great one, Yuri continues being the best character :) Final episode now, Maeda has failed to make me sad this whole series, this is his last chance |
| Shit got ultra real. Anyways, they really need to do something really extraordinary or it will be relatively mediocre just like Air was. I haven't cried, there has been a severe lack of the shitty yet awesome melodrama which was in Clannad/Kanon and the whole "fighting" thing was never really explained. Hopefully the last episode will clear everything up and give us some insight..however I'm not holding my breath. |
| Ok™ |

Hopefully the last episode will clear everything up and give us some insight..however I'm not holding my breath. pretty much this lol And just like I imagined, this show has once again introduced a new element to its plot, only to quickly resolve it by the end. It seems like this world's problem are completely fixed now...I guess now its time for the main cast to disappear |
| I'm guessing it will be similar to Little Busters' end since that was the last thing Jun Maeda worked on and since he's highly unoriginal in his work it will probably be somewhat incorporated. I'm sure we'll see everyone again in episode 13 waving each other off and getting married/having kids ect ect. That's been my prediction all along and it seems that I will probably be right. |
| Ok™ |
| I was thinking it was going to be Yuri's family and the entire cast, all clapping in a circle around Yuri going. "CONGRADULATIONS!" |

| An NGE end to this would definitely make me laugh hard...I would give it an instant 10 just because of that ending. The ending didn't suit NGE's TV series but if another show follows that route I can't just help but laugh at it. I can see the whole cast clapping and Yuri going "thank you so much~". Good times, good times. |
| Ok™ |

| This show could have been so much better if given the screen time, but well no turning back anymore. For the screen time they had it turned out pretty good. I can't really see any big surprises left for the last episode. I am stuck with mix feelings about this episode, the screen time Yuri has gotten was good. I would love know to know more about the guy inventing Angel Player, but I am afraid that won't be happening unless there's a twist in the last episode. |

| Not the best episode.. Little too random, even for me. Last episode will probably be 99% drama. Just hope they do it right. |

| I cried for Yuri disappearing after successfully saving everyone she cared for this time around. Shesh i got trolled there, but it was a good scene anyways. I'm glad i turned out to be a fan of KEY drama; I really enjoyed this episode and there is not much they can do to ruin my opinion of this show. Edit: Where is all the pointless comments about TK kicking ass? "Knockin' on heaven's door!" |

| Ah, everything happened too fast again. Not happy with everyone disappearing within 30 seconds; those two other girls from GirlsDeMo got to speak for like the second time in this series now haha, apart from Hirako. "Kanade-chan"? - since when did Yuri become "this" nice? There are a couple of Matrix-parodies floating around now because of that scene in the second half: "Hello Yuri, I am...the Architect..." I've probably said it already in another episode discussion, but they clearly could've expanded on each episode and make each new plot last a little longer. Realistically speaking, if they doubled the introductions, the fights with Angel, the fights with "Anti-Angel" etc then a 26-episode season would've been about right. Disappointed that it's going to end, and prematurely at that fact too. This could've been an even more awesome anime. EDIT: Reminder that GirlsDeMo's album "Keep The Beats" is out this Wednesday! |

| Seriously this episode couldn't be more random. There's no explanation whatsoever about the shadows, to begin with, why did they even appear? I didn't like it back when they explained how Kanade got her 'powers' because of a software but I could live with it, however the fact that the world is hosted in a LAN... are you serious? And what's with the rip-off 'The Architect'? The anime has more plot holes than a Swiss cheese and I don't think they'll be filling any of those holes in the last episode, in fact, as stated by someone else, the last episode is most likely to be 99% drama and some deus ex machina ending. |

This episode? More like this entire series should be renamed Random Beats. It's clear the creators didn't have a direction when they created the series and were just making stuff up as they went. This isn't mediocre, it's worse. The dramatic scenes aren't even emotional as they're just pulled out of thin air with no build up. If I were to describe Angel Beats in two words, it'd be "Forced Drama". Honestly, that's all this show is. |
| Graduation Day? Otonashi's dream was to make it into school. They're all gonna dissapear :( |
 |
| Well, this episode was especially disappointing. That drama speech with Yuri in the classroom felt awkward like if the students were thinking,"WTF is she talking about?" I liked all the episodes BUT this one. Not that it was too DEEP, but it just didn't fit for me. |
| This episode was random and that new character didnt even matter to me, this episode can be easily summed up to the Yui's lat scene, her inner dialogue and the visions of her younger siblings, I love how they depicted her crying in the end, it was very endearing. True this anime is flawed extremely with lacking of explanations, but I do think its high points make up for it quite well. Only thing I am really hoping for is Kanades past life. ~ Anyone else get the Higurashi vibe from Yui when she was thinking about GOD? |
| - anyone else get an odd feeling when you dont actually SEE them disappear .. they just simply.. are there screen back gone. (sort of like how I contest still not actually seeing anyone die in the 'real world' ) |

| I think this story plot follow really well with the manga, Random? There is not actually a special story in this anime, it's about after life. Otonashi finally did his role but looking forward to next episode |

| lol at people complaning about this episode. Amazing episode. Hope everything ends with a bang. |
 |
| Plot holes galore. I'm not going to be the first person to say this, but there has only been one pace for the entire show so far, and that is "rushed." I was completely weirded out when Yuri was giving the speech as an NPC and going evil overlord mode, though I'm glad they didn't try to be cheap and stay with that mode to try to be interesting. Eh, I wonder what they have in store for next week. |
ReaperEXE said: IMO it would be a pretty nice troll if they didn't exist in the first place. D= A better troll will be that "it was all a dream" or some shit. There's going to be a happy end that doesn't make any sense in this too..it's like every Key work..except at least in Clannad they had the Dragonballs to bring Nagisa back, this doesn't make any sense at all. |
| Ok™ |

| Maybe in this world they will have the uh .. system reboot? |
ReaperEXE said: IMO it would be a pretty nice troll if they didn't exist in the first place. D= I was thinking when Yuri woke up that she'd woke up in the 'real' world and it was all a dream/coma/troll. but nay... |

| COMEONCOMEONCOMEONCOMEONCOMEONCOMEON....KNOCKIN' ON HEAVEN'S DOOR! -I know most of the supplemental material is all prequel stuff but I can't help but feel that they'll release a lot more eventually explaining what's going on. Of course, we not in Japan will have a 50/50 chance of actually knowing about it. -Oh good, I wasn't the only one getting Matrix and NGE vibes from this episode. Anyone else notice Kanade's flying kick into the shadows was exactly like Unit-01's? -Very random episode, but it still isn't enough to decrease my rating of it so far. I don't know how this will end but we've got one more left so let's just see where they decide to go with it. (The fight at the beginning was again, incredible) |
 |
| I found this episode to be mediocre. |
| Why are people complaining about that guy being a new char at the end. They made it perfectly clear he's a random npc programmed to do almost nothing. Not really a main or even side character. We aren't supposed to grow attached to a character like that. |
|
| This episode was really confusing, too many things happening all at once. Still enjoyed it but I was expecting better for the 2nd last episode. Next episode the final :(. Hope it all ends well. |
| LAST EPISODE remaining =D WOO |

| This post on AS makes it easier to understand what happened. Q: Are you God? A: I'm not sure whether a God exist or not. Q: How does Angel Player work? A: I don't know. I'm not that well versed in programming. Q: What is Angel Player? A: Angel Player is a software that can manipulate this world in a way a computer program would Q: Did you create the Angel Player software? A: No, but an acquaintance of mine did Q: Where is that person now A: That person used Angel Player to turn himself into an NPC. This is the phenomenon that is also happening right now everywhere else. Q: Why did he do that? A: That person waited and waited for the love of his life to appear in this world. Eventually he got tired of waiting and was driven mad. Even know he walks among the NPC Q: Why are you unleashing this program on this world? A: As you know, this is a world in which people graduate from it after attaining inner peace. But occasionally there are people who hang around for too long. With this program the world will "reset" Q: With so much power, why not just become God of this world? A: I suppose that may be possible, but I neither have the motive or the will to do that. But how about you? It is at this point that Yuri goes crazy and decides to become God of the world... not Instead she chooses to destroy all the computers. When she is done, she notices that Kaworu Nagisa has vanished. He probably passed on after realizing there is nothing left to do in this world. |
 |
| Episode was everywhere, no continuity. It sucks because this series really was amazing, and could have been even more amazing. I love this show for the premise and drama but there's a lot of random shit added in just for the hell of it that it's quite irritating. I give this series a 9/10 now (I really did like Angel beats)... The end episode really has to be amazing if it wants to raise that since it's a low 9. Anyways, it seems a lot of you have missed the last part after the credits where Yuri is lying in a hospital bed with Tenshi, Otonashi, Hinata ect... Yuri did not disappear. |

Thanks for this Q and A ^^ |
| Amazing series. Yuri best character of all D: Kind of messy this episode. Wondering where Christ is... I think i missed something again. Really hope to see the best of the final episode! |

Not really a main or even side character. We aren't supposed to grow attached to a character like that. This is the show's main problem. There are too many characters and the viewers don't get a chance to care for them, thus rendering all the drama meaningless. I really hope they pull some AMAZING ending next episode, or I don't see myself giving more than 6/10 to this series. |
