DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- <img src="http://i49.tinypic.com/2mgjtpl.jpg" border="0" /> Graduation, the last episode of Angel Beats, I wonder how this is going to- <img src="http://i45.tinypic.com/2ez5hkn.jpg" border="0" /> Fuck you Hinata! If you aren't going to take this seriously, I'm not! Though for the most part, it's touching in a way. All this time they've been fighting to stay alive, but now, they finally came to gripes on how pointless it was and decided to move on. Shame most of the side-characters disappeared off-screen with no backstory, so what could have been a great finale just turns 'good' because of all the wasted potiential. And then, there was two.. <img src="http://i46.tinypic.com/vql9bl.jpg" border="0" /> <img src="http://i49.tinypic.com/1rf8lh.jpg" border="0" /> Well, this came off as bittersweet, I guess this finale wasn't too bad after all, I mean, Jun Maeda- <img src="http://i45.tinypic.com/2ropbah.jpg" border="0" /> Without any real explaination, they are all alive? I just.......... huh? This ends without any real conflict or resolution! And better yet! Explaination! So they were in a coma the entire time? What was the point of the school? Why did Naoi and Kanade have powers in the afterlife? I WAS ASTROBASE BEFORE YOU EVEN! Awsome still he best |
| I was crying about kanade |
Oikura said: yes but kanade scene is best heart attack momentSuch a strong and hopeful ending, definitely hit me during the Yuri and Kanade parts. Perfect ending to such a rollercoaster of emotions! |
Shodowdragonclaw said: i think its master piece 10/10 many people was cryingI cried and I was just ready to throw my computer out the window until that after credits scene. That scene where they were all reborn and the new "Otanashi" went chasing after the new "Kanade" made it all worth it. 9/10 |

| Nice anime, but I expected much more from it. It left me thinking now about my life, but the story didn't have so much impact. Sometimes it was too silly and too obvious, but still it was fun to watch it. The best from this anime are songs :) |
| (づ￣ ³￣)づ ちゅっ ちゅっ キス (´｡✪ω✪｡｀) I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;) |
| a lot of plotholes and unexplained things, but I still liked it. 8/10 |
| This was a nice episode and ties the whole everyone excepting they have to move on thing together Enjoyed the whole thing, I found the plot really juxtaposed the strange humour with the character growth. I really liked the beginning episodes because they are plots that kids would come up with. I rated it 9/10, absolute hoot from start to finish. |
 |
| Ohh, so that's why Kanade was there! Not gonna lie, her final scene with Otanashi was sad and sweet. Although I felt the story couldn't have ended worse for him: Kanade disappeared, he's definitely dead and the last thing we see of him is crying for Kanade. Quite a few things that I was hoping to get answered but the series was fun regardless. The first half of it made feel like dropping this. |
 |
| i feel like this would've done better with more episodes, but for what it had, it was great. there were a few plotholes that would've been nice explaining, but the final scenes and the revelation that kanade's donor was otonashi was great. ost was good too, 8/10. |
| Most 24 episode anime from Jun Maeda were fantastic. I really wish that they gave Angel Beats that treatment. Even though I cried at the end, I feel like there's more to dramatic/sad anime than getting the audience to cry. I believe that Angel Beat's theme could have hit people so much harder if we were given a little bit more time with the characters. |
| Times for saying "farewell" are always tough, and here you have five people who will be reborn without any memory of their past lives or what they did in the afterlife's realm. Their souls might remember people they met, but here "farewell" is definitive, unfortunatelly. Life can be indeed tough, even in the afterlife. One of last scenes proved it, but the very last scene gave hopes. Kanade and Otonashi were reborn and could meet with other. As for this anime... It's hard to say, it was very unstable in terms of quality. In front of great music, great visuals, good animation, cool characters with their own original personalities that resulted in many various scenes, and of course very interesting concept, we had some flaws like chaotic, sometimes rushed plot (especially near its end), not enough explainations about things the characters were talking about (mostly about rules behind this realm)... Hmm... I feel this anime could've been way better if the amount of episodes would be around 24 instead of 13. This anime was definitely entertaining to watch. I wouldn't call it as something even close to masterpiece, but it was not terrible. Solid piece of fun. I think everyone will find something that will hook a person to this anime, whether it's its story, characters, or audio and visuals. |

| I had big expectations coming into this, because it is listed so high up in top anime. Honestly there were only couple of interesting episodes and the rest were just fillers. The music was on point. I'm kinda disappointed, but it let's you think more about how precious your life is and that you should do everything you want, so you do not regret it. With me crying at the end I rate 7/10. |
| What a dumb ending. It was super emotional, and yet didn't explain anything. Why did Kanade leave Otonashi if he clearly wanted her to stay??? WTF? Is she really that cold hearted? Remember, he was going to stay here forever, and now he has to live there on his own. Yet we see him in the real world, meaning he got himself obliterated? Make up your mind please. Also, he gave his heart and so on, so how is he still alive?!?! Where are the others? Did they forget about each other? Dumb ending. |
| I am not a weeb, I simply enjoy 2D girls |
| Just finished this. Don't really get the hype. Like it's obviously a 'good' show, but the story is told too quick for anything to be properly explained. The timeline issues are all over the place, the 'programmer' of that world is not even talked about besides the bit where Yuri is in the computer room, and the fact that everyone is just able to disappear after the shadows/programmer were stopped defeats the entire purpose of the previous episodes where people's desires were granted so they could move on. Very flawed and rushed IMO, but still a nice story with emotional moments and fun characters. |

| this show makes so little sense i paused my screen multiple times going wtf how can he love her that much after so few interactions i dont understand how did kanade die? yuri? how did he move on from the afterlife? why do they look the same later? what the heck are the odds that they are in the same city lmfao. do they retain memories of some sort and like the big question: how tf did he end up there AFTER kanade if he died before her??? like a LONG time after since she got there supposedly before everyone else. i am debating between a 4/10 and 5/10 lmao. the music was pretty good like 7/10 and the animation was decent, maybe 6/10. but like plot and character development???? rofl whereeeeeeee |
 |
| Wahhhhhh everyone is gone already :( I hope they have their own episode though... Some characters didn't shine like TK and the gang.. I want to know their past and dreams :( What??!!!! lol I see Kanade and Otonashi as siblings lol I thought he saw his younger sister on her.. I'm shock that he confess lol Woah!!! How Kanade died when she already have a heart transplant? What happened? So in second life they meet !!!! Please season 2!!!! huhuhuhu I hope they make this 25 episode atleast :( When I first watch this anime, it's so weird. I don't understand what they're fighting for but now.. I understand all of it and I loveeeee it!!! I love the drama and the comedy elements of it. 8/10. I enjoyed this so much ❤️❤️ |

And the time that Purgatory is not linear. That's why Kanade died after Otonashi, but arrived there before him. And an infinite amount of non-linear time, the events repeat again. |
 |
| Great anime. I feel the characters could have been more fleshed out. I have questions regarding the events though. Who was the programmer? How does time work in this universe? (Angel was already dead when Otonashi came yet at the end it's revealed she I give this anime 8/10 for having a good story, but I feel like some things were left a bit unexplained. The whole war between Kanade and Yuri was just a huge misunderstanding? Also, some of the side characters disappeared after the shadow monster battler. How? |
| i like this, surprisingly, it's kinda decent, like an in-your-face haibane renmei, also at it's best it sort of reminded me to the "ending" of kafka's amerika, a must read by the way. again, decent, 6/10. haibane renmei is better tho. |
 |
| Damn that episode was as emotional as I remember it being 5 years ago. Its really nice that they meet up again in the real world. This was a great re-watch. After 5 years finally revisiting the classic that brought me my original favourite character ever Kanade Tachibana I fell in love with her all over again. She was so adorable this last episode. Now I didnt tear up during that goodbye scene like I did the first time but instead during the end credits where everyone was disappearing and when it finally hit Kanade I really felt that. Now as Ive re-watched it Ive noticed Angel Beats kind of just did what they want with the flow like how they switched antagonists 3-4 times but it was still all enjoyable. And for once I actually really like a dub even after re-watching it. So many of the dub voice actors Ive heard originate from this anime and these roles are always what I think back to them with. Especially Yuri. I literally cannot hear that voice as anything else other than Yuri. Overall such a good anime. It was beautiful to revist. Such a classic. |

| Yuritopia FTW!!!!!!!!! BANZAI TO YURI !!!!!!!!!!!! |
| I was watching this again after several years. It felt much different at the time I first time watching this. I still give this a strong 10/10 tho, even with that confusing story at the end. This is the only one of few shows I ever watched that has a good action, comedy and "tears" (highlight the tears because Angel Beats did a really good job with that one). By the way, if you feel the story is "incomplete" go play Angel Beats VN. 13 episodes anime is never be a good method to explain every single thing happened in the story and of course there'll be plotholes |
| Really enjoyed this show. I really think that 13 episodes was not enough though. I really enjoyed the premise as well as the characters, but it just felt like there was more to be done and said, which is a rather unfortunate thought. Now that I finished, I will be thinking about how I now have a new void because I finished an anime I really enjoyed. 8/10, would tear up again |
Have a great day!  |
| mah heart............. mah soul.......;< |
| well Idk But I feel somehow disappointed. I don'e even get how She can have his heart if he died before her but she spawned in this world long before him ôO I also did not find the ending scenes actually sad since I had no bonding to the characters in first place. 6/10 |
