If you have no idea what this anime is about... Go read the synopsis.
Story:
Basically, It's about a guy, Eren, who essentially doesn't have parents, and a girl, Mikasa, and another guy, Armin, who happen to be childhood friends with Eren.
Eren loses his mother, when Titans invade, and she... basically gets eaten.
Well then... In this anime, they rely on that idea so much. They rely on how "disturbing" that idea may be in order to keep people" interested", but to those who don't find it interesting will get bored very quickly.
Skip over to the whole accusation that Eren is a complete monster.
This, in my opinion was
...
an absolutely horrid... arc? Anyways, they decide to spend multiple episodes on it, and in the middle of it pull out the episode 13.5... Yay... a recap.
Anyways, In terms of the story, the producers and such decide to move very slow, as if this were an anime like Naruto, or something else that is very long, but this is a 25 episode series.. Very little happens per episode, and they have a recap at the beginning of each episode that lasts about 2 minutes, yet they decided to make a recap episode (13.5)
Art:
The art is actually really good. It's actually really interesting how they portray characters as if they're from different regions of the world. The way Eren's titan form looks is absolutely amazing. The same goes for the backgrounds and the smaller details.
Although this may be true, a lot of the anime is a slideshow, which can be boring at times so.. yeah... There really isn't much to comment on.
The art is good, some little gripes, but nothing major.
Sound:
The sound is also pretty good, as they decide to go with epic music... I really don't know how to describe it more... It just adds to the somewhat, old times, feel of the anime. Some of the music is pretty bad, in my opinion though, such as the openings.
The reason why I rated the sound an 8, is because I never felt it REALLY added to the whole experience all that much.
Character:
The characters are alright. The main characters are pretty bland. Angsty teenager, girl who likes said teenager, childhood friend. That's basically it.
However, the side characters seem to be much more interesting, as they have their own quirks, and seem to have a lot of thought put into them.
That's basically why I gave it a 7/10 here. The main characters, which should honestly be the most interesting, are not. Right now, my favorite character is Levi, and he only got properly introduces a couple of episodes ago.
Enjoyment:
As I said before, the anime moves very very slow, and has a recap of the past episodes every episode. Doing this cuts the episode time down to about 20 minutes. I feel if anything, they should be cramming more stuff in each episode. Instead, the anime goes at a ridiculously slow pace. One episode was literally just people talking/arguing the whole time. Then they decide to pull out the episode 13.5 which was a recap, which honestly wasn't needed at all. Overall, it seems like the people working on this can't keep up with the pace that's expected by people like me. The only reason why I expect more is because I compared the enjoyment to other anime of the same number, or more, episodes.
Overall:
I'll try keeping this one short.
It's pretty boring after the 4th episode or so. All their effort is honestly going into the wrong places. The story progresses very little per episode, that it makes it hard to believe that it's a 25 episode series. The art and sound are good, but nothing super exceptional. The characters are alright. The main characters are quite boring, but the side characters make up for that.
It just moves so slow, that all their effort doesn't come through. It's not eventful, and there's very little, if any moments where I'd get so excited that I'd jump around or slam my desk.

I'm sorry.. it's just so bad in my opinion of course.
The art is dumbed down from the original series, the sound is... pretty much the same stuff. The character development for the new characters is pretty good...
Enjoyment.. is bad because.. well... FILLERS... EVERYWHERE... it tries making you bored out of your mind or on the edge of your seat so even the most pointless event seem exciting. It's dragged out so long. I believe it should only be around 50-100 episodes. I quit watching the original Naruto at like 80 then started watching Shippuuden because my friend really likes it, but we literally skimmed through
...
the first 40 episodes within about 2 hours, and I did not miss any details at all. I discussed the main bad points about Naruto with my friend and he agreed with all of them which include the ones that I have talked about before.
They're overcomplicating it in my opinion, and should stay focused on the main problem, create "sub"-problems that lead up to ending the main conflict, which seem to be the problem with a lot of mainstream shounen anime. They try making a series as long as possible to make the most money out of it rather then creating a good story, with good art, and characters that a person will thoroughly enjoy.
Overall, Naruto Shippuuden gets a 5/10, There are a lot of shorter anime series that gets to the point of the anime which are much more exciting, because they cram all their interesting ideas into a short time span rather than having a single event drag out over a term of 3-10 episodes.

People say this anime focuses on breasts too much. I agree with that, but if you take an honest thought about it, it's actually amazing.
For every hardcore PC gamer out there, you should understand the main concept. It's about an epidemic with zombies, that starts out at a high school... hence the name Highschool of the Dead.
The major likes are that, it involves guns... and zombies... what else is there? Some of the comedic sections and the dialogue are great, but other times they're very dry and not in depth. Also, many of the situations that have to do with breasts are the most ridiculous
...
you'd ever find.
The story is good but yet it seems slightly cliched since many of us have seen zombie movies and games.
The art is amazing! it is a very manga style art rather than having a clean looking anime.
The sound is generic because of a lot of the guns. The music isn't too great either. BUT, the voicing is quite good, in fact I actually thought each voice matched the character quite well.
Character design is.... very cliched. You have your delinquent protagonist, the main... "heroine" I'd guess you'd call her, the one who feels no emotion, the smart and / or rich one, and the super nerd.
I still enjoyed it, because many times you'd hope they would make it through alright.
Overall, I thought it was pretty good, but there are many sections that could be better.
~The number of episodes could be increased to allow more story be involved, honestly in my opinion the end was much to quick and didn't draw a full conclusion.
~The situation (not including the entire zombie apocalypse thing) is EXTREMELY unlikely.
~Having a group of girls that have oversized breasts that all happen to get close to a single guy.. is like have a harem in the middle of a battle... It just doesn't work too well.
Many flaws, but still enjoyable.

To begin with... It's just an Angel Beats! OVA, so its simply an alteration of parts of the original.
This really has no real meaning to the actual series or is any step closer to their goal.
It's much like a Lucky Star moment that's just for fun.
This is just brief as it is one episode.
The music is still the same as it was before, except the ending was played... backwards (just the video was)
I personally enjoyed it because it really made me laugh and it was something different from the original series, as I also love the character design from Angel Beats!.
I didn't like some parts
...
because much of it was pointless, and it seems as if it's to keep Angel Beats! alive just a little longer than it normally would have.
It's also interesting how the characters act in this (keep an eye out for it... if you don't notice it... you must be dense..) because it's much more different from the series.
Overall, It is just a filler or alteration to an episode of the original series. Nothing too interesting happens. I'd suggest that only the hardcore Angel Beats! fans watch this. (I'm just trying to leave out as much spoilers as possible)
BY THE WAY.... MyAnimeList, you should keep the listings of anime updated better. I've already watched this a couple hours ago fully subtitles yet the Add Anime to List will not let me say I've watched this.
