  • In This Video, I will be giving my honest review of the anime Angel Beats and speaking about what makes it an emotional masterpiece. This anime came out all the way back in 2010 so it is a classic I would recommend checking out. There is currently only one season of this anime out and unfortunately, since it does end after 13 episodes I would recommend it since it won't take long to watch. This video does contain mild spoilers so be aware of that if you do plan on watching the anime, but for the major spoilers, I do have a warning where I do talk about spoilers. If you do by some miracle happen to read this much I am always open to suggestions whether that be new content or problems with the videos. I will now list character names to boost my chances in the algorithm. Kanade Tachibana, Yuzuru Otonashi, Yuri Nakamura, Yui angel beats, Hideki Hinata, Ayota Naoi, Angel

    Angel beats is GOAT and in my top 5. I’ve only watched it once 100% 10 years ago and for some reason tell myself that I will one day rewatch it completely when a significant event happens in my life; what that event is I don’t know. Still love it to pieces and I was ecstatic when 3 new songs were recently released within the past year under the characters personas. Didn’t know how much I missed Iwasawa voice until it hit and gave me major chills. GirlDeMo rules.

    I remember that Angel Beats! was the first anime I ever watched. In fact me and my brother watched it together, making us both laugh and cry. To this day, Angel Beats! is still one of my favorite anime's 10 years later
    And yes, it is still impossible not to cry at the ending ;-;

    this show is genuinely something special. I've never felt a closer connection with a cast of characters, and never felt such emotional impact as i did in the final few episodes. I seriously don't cry easily, or almost ever, but episodes 10 and 13 made me completely break down.
    so many shows try, but almost none can actually strike the balance of comedy and seriousness that this show does - it switches on a dime between really fun and good times with funny characters and typical anime shenanigans, and the most heart-wrenching, soul-crushing emotional weight that's ever been written in media.
    I never really thought my favorite show would change, until I watched this one. if anyone's watching this video to see whether they should give this show a chance, please do, you won't regret it

    I'm not gonna lie after I watched Angel Beat (stayed up till like 4 in the morning), and I had a whole emotional breakdown. My body was cold. I was in tears, I was just destroyed.
    Also, that ending is basically supposed to say they all reincarnated close to each other, and the song girl probably made the song and became an artist. kanaede and Yuzuru still held the feelings from the afterlife, and it gave him a dejavu feeling, causing him to reach out to her.

    I watched 3 episodes and dropped this show originally, thought it was too goofy for me. But after this video, I went and watched the whole show. Man, episode 10 got me hard, I am not disabled, but can relate to the feeling of not able to do the things I want in life. And after playing soccer and baseball, being able to have a whatif marriage ending and finally got closure, how beautiful! The empty baseball helmet, the ending song with Yui in a wheelchair being pushed by Hinata, my tears just won't stop!!!

  • @DeadDevilDying
    @DeadDevilDying Před rokem +15

    I just finished watching it. It was beautiful, and sad, and wonderful all at the same time, so glad you mentioned the Graduation from Assassination Classroom as I finished that one later last year and it got me emotional. Both of those fictitious graduations moved me more than my actual graduation, though that's not saying much. I love how well everything came to full circle in Angel Beats. This was truly a wonderful anime, and I love all that went into it.

  • @JabamiLain
    @JabamiLain Před rokem +4

    When I tried to watch this a few months earlier, my level of empathy was like Angel's, which means, almost non-existent if it meant the fulfillment of duty and purpose:
    -I saw Yuri as a mere warmonger, as she would risk the universe's integrity by facing God, even though it could have been the Devil who arranged for the unfairness that befell her life and family;
    -I did not judge Angel's attack on the Ootanashi. He was dead and he asked for proof of it. She delivered, because that's her job;
    -I'm not sure I can be so forgiving towards the hypnotist. He was neglected, I get it. But steal someone's identity like that just to get the love of someone who probably doesn't even deserve it... This one I'll admit I refrain from passing on active judgement. It feels too unfair for me to do it, given I do not know that kind of neglect;
    -And, I saw the humans' actions in resisting erasure as futile. That was the purgatory. They would either be reincarnated or ascend. That's how it works both in the East and West. All they had to do was to either follow rules or fulfill their final wish. Yuri I might even understand why she couldn't do neither, because even in my scenario, I imagine she would need not to be at peace if she hoped to one day face the Devil.
    My final veredict... This show was perfect. And I, am an idiot who could never deserve to have my sinful eyes gaze upon this wholesome beauty. Because, I spent too much time with my routine of overseeing. My level of human concern and care is very minimal at worst and lowly average at best.
    I do have one complaint though. It should have been longer. Seriously ? 12 episodes ? For a show this complex with such 3 dimensional characters ?

  • @everydaymarvin2490
    @everydaymarvin2490 Před rokem

    I think I have watched this anime all the way through like 3 times. I liked the fact that is was short so it didn't feel like such a time commitment/investment when initally started it.The stories were interesting and well written. I loved the characters and found most to be likable. I cried several times through out series and especially on that last episode. It was such a tearjerker. I am so happy that other people have found this show and appreciate it as well.😊

    I recently started watching angel beats and finished it within two days, and honestly I thought the story would be a fantasy about otonashi being thrown into a war within the school in the afterlife, but my view completely changed somewhat between episode 7 and onwards, the characters sharing their favorite things they wish they did before they died and were taken to the afterlife, then started disappointing one after another and get reincarnated to live a new life, the cutscene were otonashi was left all alone in the school made me cry.

Too keep it spoiler free, when the end came around I just thought “oh really?” instead of “that’s so sad!”. Banger music though

    Never watched this anime before, I saw a clip of this anime 5-6 year ago of a dude speaking broken english and breakdancing and some guys shooting at a school girl with a sword and i thoug "lol this looks interesting" but never ended up watching it. Time passes and this video gets recommended to it, so then i watched the whole anime and let me tell you, i thought this was some Isekai BS with generic protagonist that i would just see to kill time, but damn this anime broke me... in the last episode i was literally holding my tears.
    This is the third time an anima had baited me into thinking is some generic action-packed isekai anime but ended up breaking my heart (first was Cyberpunk:Edgerunners then Cautious Hero: The hero is overpowered but overly cautious).
    This anime is a masterpiece and i regret not watching it before
