This one's definitely worth your attention, at least until you're absolutely sure you don't like everything about it.
WATCH ANGEL BEATS EPISODE 1 ENG SUB SERIES
For my part, I'm glad to have found a series that keeps me guessing, interests me with its premise, dazzles my eyes, while making me laugh and sniffle in the same episode. I guess in the end, your enjoyment of Angel Beats will depend on whether its various aspects strike a chord with you or not (pardon the pun). The concert scenes alone are worth the watch. There's a very obvious sign as to how much I'm enjoying a show I get antsy and check for updates every hour. I definitely felt more interested in a character once I learned more about their past. Some characters seem to follow the usual anime tropes, but they work. This one's tricky, as many of the characters' back stories are still veiled. No voices will annoy you - unless it was intentional. Some of the BGMs are repeated a bit often, but the feature songs are all brilliant. It's been a while since I've liked every song in a show.
Beyond what we've come to expect, the animation is amazing (especially for the concerts), and the lighting effects give the show a slightly washed-out, surreal look - which I'm sure was the intended effect. I had fun watching those anyway, but I can see how others would think it's a waste of time. The story is revealed irregularly some episodes teach you various things about the world, while others spend their time screwing around.
And I know that many scenes will evoke familiar memories from other shows, but really, this show deserves to be considered as it is, by itself. I found I actually liked being proven wrong about my guesses as to 'what kind of show this will end up being'. What I'm trying to say is that while this may seem contradictory and schizophrenic to some, overall, it seems to be a fairly successful blend to me. Angel Beats also isn't a stupid show I never felt that my emotions were being toyed with in a rudimentary or heavy handed manner. I'm a fan of such shows that mix in different types of enjoyment. But I only noticed this after I heard the criticisms and look for such inappropriateness. Sometimes, the parts can seem fragmented and poorly transitioned. The greatest problem that many people make an issue out of is the transition between the two previously mentioned parts of comedy and drama. The art is also very pleasant on the eyes, with soft but vibrant colors and simple but effective character styles. The music alone made me re-watch the concert episodes over and over. The rock concert scenes are some of the finest I've ever seen, with spectacular animation and crisp lighting effects. Topping it all off and decorating the whole package is a very clean, crisp presentation, and music that can move you from the first time you hear it. Their common theme seems to be 'regrets' - especially those of teenagers struggling with family, society and life in general. These stories aren't your stereotypical 'my puppy died' stories in fact, I've found that most of the stories that have been revealed are all original in some way or another, and interesting as well.
And, as to be expected, many are torturous, depressing tales. Most of the important characters have a back story to them, which are revealed piece by piece. Even the slapstick comedy is quite well done, and usually timed with unfitting music which (for the most part) heightens the comedy. The English-speaking, nonsensical TK doesn't even need an introduction anymore. One part of it is comedy - most of it is well timed, and on several occasions, had me laughing out loud at my screen like a nutcase. It's a setting that I found to be original enough I also expected it to be a simple tear-jerker, but that isn't the case.Īngel Beats has a duality about it. There's a unique mix ofĬommon school life against the supernatural.
Angel Beats is a show that keeps me guessing, and consistently tugs at strings I didn't know existed until they were pulled.īasically, Angel Beats is about an afterlife in which a group of dead students refuse to 'move on' to the next life, because they have some sort of peace to make with the world and themselves. But once I began watching the show in earnest, I found a lot more here than I expected. I have to admit that I first started watching Angel Beats because of two main reasons: the pretty visuals, and the presence of guitars.
