As usual the fact stands that awesome animes end early......angel beats is one good example. 13 episodes of coolness, thats all it has to stand, if it was longer, a lot more people, me included, would be mighty pleased. It is very hard to describe angel beats, since its something not many shows have done before, its much like the melancholy of haruhi suzumiya, with guns, and romance. Still, this is one of the most emotion touching shows with a very impacting ending, with a comparison to the code geass endings, which were genius.

My souls your beats is awesome. I waited a long long lLOOONG time for its full version to release back then. It also had a rock version at episode 4, which was good too. Angel beats also had full of insert songs by a band called girls dead monster( this band actually exists I think), and all of them are mighty beautiful as well. If I were to rate them 1 by 1 it would take forever, so I'll skip this.

Angel beats takes the setting with a turn to the weird right off the bat. The setting of the show takes place at a certain school, where everyone is dead, and reincarnated in the school. There, 2 existing factions stand, the battlefront and the NPCs. There is no war taking place mind you, its just that there are alot seperating the 2. NPCs, follow a certain program, and commit themselves to daily school life like robots, though they too once were teenagers and died. The battlefront however, is a group of students who distance themselves from the NPCs, avoiding to become just like them. They do thier own activities and hold meetings to sabotage the school, so that they don't turn into NPCs themsevles, since being peaceful and following school life without disruptions will bring them closer to being the NPCs.
.
Our main character is a strong willed teenager by the name of Otonashi. Otonashi starts out in the school having amnesia, and is unwillingly stabbed in the chest by the angel, a worrywart girl that the battlefront is constantly on the lookout for. While a stab through the chest should have outright killed a person, Otonashi awakes in the school infirmary, with no wound on his chest whatsoever, he then gets 99 hit combo-ed by a random student wielding an axe, and still lives. After a strange turn of events, he realises that people in this world dont die, and is suddenly recruited to the battlefront, hoping to find a way to regain his memories and to find out more about the place.
.
While angel beats starts out passive and leans more towards a comedic show with a little bit of action here and there, later, where characters of the show start to "ascend"( won't spoil what this is), the show starts getting a little bit more emotional and serious, with the ending leaving quite an emotional impact. I would say angel beats wins your typical everyday anime with a happy ending, its something different all on its own, and I would recommend anyone to watch it.

Peace.
