So Angel Beats! nostalgia,it's here!Its been almost two years since I first saw the Angel Beats! series.I first read about it on my friend's Otakuzine mag in the middle of an important lecture.And with all my struggle not to let my teacher notice that I have other business I was able to read the series' plot.What caught my attention was the "anti-GOD rebels" that described the characters.So I was like generating my own conclusion that maybe this will be a Goth-inspired Anime that is all complicated and only adults would like it.Well, I misunderstood.
I watched the first episode online that follows the male protagonist who found himself lying on a school ground in the middle of the night and was greeted by a girl carrying a gun aiming to an innocent-looking girl named Angel.Okay, I really shouldnt narrate you the whole story but here's the plot.They are all dead.They're in a school and all the
And then, there's the student council president which Yuri,leader of SSS(anti-GOD group),calls Angel because she believes she's sent by God to guide the other students.That really sounds neat but the problem is, when you are a 'lil miss goodie or mister perfect, which Angel wants everyone to be,you'll disappear.
The SSS didnt want to disappear because they believe they'll be a mollusk or any sea creature in their reincarnation, so they mess around doing notorious things like carry a gun around,cut classes,sleep in class and tries killing Angel.(They are already dead remember?So they can recover from being 'dead')
They even hold concerts in the cafeteria during lights-out and carry out dangerous missions.Then as the story goes on each character's memories when they were alive will be revealed which are all dreadful.And the protagonist has gotten an amnesia and he cant remember his memories, until he recovers it and has had a better understanding why he's in that world.And then he realizes what the president was trying to do.
Really, an interesting and unpredictable story isnt it?There's never a dull moment in this 13-episode Anime and its full of surprises.Angel Beats! moved me, It kinda juggles my emotions as I watch it.And its stuck in my brain or should I say forever attached to my heart.cheesy.
