I have a theory about why Otonashi arrived in purgatory before Angel and I haven’t found that theory anywhere else online. It may be a dumb thought, but try this on for size: when someone is an organ donor, they donate all viable organs if possible. Well, what if multiple organs went into multiple people and Otonashi wouldn’t appear in purgatory until every one of his organs was no longer in use? So, Kanade beats him there. That’s just means his heart stopped beating, but his other organ(s) was/were still going strong. Just a thought.
I think he arrived after Kanade did because her conditions to find peace required him to be there. He didn't really have a reason to be there himself. I think that's also why he didn't have his memory at first. If he knew he was already at peace, he would have just moved on without meeting Kanade. Brilliant writing.
It never crossed my mind that kanade wasn't able to thank otonashi for giving her his heart at the ending even though at the beginning she stabbed him to check if he has a heart, which sorta explains why the title is called angel beats its pretty clever
i would also like to point out that the opening title itself is foreshadowing! my soul, your beats with "my soul" meaning kanade's literal soul/her body and "your beats" meaning otonashi's heartbeat since he quite literally gave her his heart. it's her soul and his heartbeat, such a clever play on words. i love this anime ❤️
I hope you make more videos about the lore and world in the future. This is probably one of my favorite anime of all time and I just want it to be fully explored
Here are some theories I came up with on why Kannade arrived before Otonashi in the purgatory and why Otonashi is not the programmer. if it makes any sense. A) Otonashi was probably in the process on passing on until his soul probably got stuck in the realm between the new life and purgatory for a long time which prevented him from moving forward. Since Kannade has the regret for not thanking the donor, he then appears in the purgatory somehow. Hence, he woke up without any memories in the purgatory. B) Otonashi was probably already born in the new life and lived his life completely or shortly died without any regrets. Then his soul returned to the purgatory without any memories and helped others and Kannade to move on from the Afterlife. Man I love this anime. Hopefully my theories make sense lol.
I just like fact that the new media for AB released in the form of a gacha collab for Maeda's gacha game Heaven Burns Red for its 1st Anniversary the event called Where The Cosmos Continued to Bloom focuses on Miyuki Irie, the drummer of GirlDeMo some might say in a sense it is 2nd Beat and hopefully we get more events focusing on the other characters
Oh the first beat was cancelled, that's sad I just finished that VN and it's really interesting to know the personality and back stories of the characters that barely had a screentime in the anime. I was looking forward to Shina, Yusa and TK's back story... RIP.
I think Otonashi forgot his memories cos you don't pass onto the next life with your memories. He said he had lived a fulfilled life at the end. Obviously he died first, his heart went to Kanade, he went somewhere between heaven and purgatory until kanade went to the afterlife, which is what summoned Otonashi there in the first place. He died in peace, never having to be there in the first place but because of Kanade wanting to thank the person who gave her her youth, otonashi had to end up there before fully passing on.
Excellent video! I hope it gets more attention! This series also remains one of my favorites across my years of watching anime. I've watched the show with many of my friends to see what they think of it as well. I remembered the giant plot hole at the end and tried to do some investigating, just in case it was brought up. I ran across the programmer theory, and I bring it up when people ask about the ending, but I also found a chart on the angel beats subreddit that explained that Otonashi could have also been placed in another afterlife after dying, almost as a purgatory. I think this is another alternative as religion is intentionally kept ambigous by the show, and it also alleviates the pain Otonashi would have gone through waiting for Kanade, whether or not you think that makes the story more impactful.
I do remember them mentioning a number of religions during the show, but never specifying which they followed. The Programmer Theory, imo, is one of the best fan theories in any show ever. There's so much evidence behind it, and it makes it seem like the show intentionally left that plot hole there so it can be discovered. The similarities between Otonashi and the Programmer are too obvious for it to not be at least credible.
@@SlightNegativeActually, MrHunteru has a pretty solid-sounding video on why Otonashi can’t be the programmer. Now it’s been years since I’ve watched the show in full and haven’t experienced the side material, so hard to confirm some of his points for myself, but apparently he has gone through all the material in depth. He pointed out that Otonashi didn’t know English or understand programming after he regained his memories, both of which were required to be the programmer. When Yuri asks the AI who the programmer is, he specifically says it’s no one she knows. And in order to have given the Kanade from the series his heart, he would have had to have reincarnated before instead of resetting himself to be an NPC. And all the characters start off in NPC uniforms according to the manga so that doesn’t necessarily indicate anything special for him. He has a theory on the plot hole too, can’t say I find it vacuum-seal tight but if you’re interested the video’s less than nine minutes long.
Ok, how did I not see this earlier. Angel Beats is one of my favorite anime of all time and still holds a special place in my heart. Glad to see an Angel Beats iceberg made. And I did surprisingly learned some new stuff here too. Though I am starting to think the Angel Beats as a series is just cursed. I knew about the show originally supposed to have 24 episodes and the visual novel having more but man, it is pretty disappointing to hear that most of these projects never really get to see the light of day. Though I am glad that there is at least something new that came out involving Angel Beats, even if it is just a crossover with a mobile game, Heaven Burns Red. I wonder if that would be an entry in the iceberg if this was made today. Also, that cameo with TK and Matsushita the 5th as fighting game characters is the greatest thing I have ever seen. I usually always joke about TK just being Terry Bogard and I always thought that Matsushita always reminded me of Goro Daimon from King of Fighters so it feels like it all comes full circle with this cameo, even if it uses the Street Fighter 4 versus screen instead of anything SNK. It can also be a reference to how the two formed a friendship over dancing.
I watch Angel Beats when my heart feels burdened. Tears feel really cleansing sometimes, even if caused by something unrelated. I dunno, maybe I'm weird.
The AI who tells Yuri about how love isnt supposed to bloom in purgatory looks kinda like Yuu Otosaka. I was rewatching Angel Beats today thinking about how he looked familiar, but couldn't figure out who he looked like. Then you brought up how Angel Beats was referenced in Charlotte and I was like ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
@@thomasraines1396 The one that wasn't about tension, and not the one where the manga club attacks them in Hueys (I think). Sorry, I haven't actually seen it, just clips on CZcams. I'd love to see it though. The only OVA I saw was the tension one.
@@thomasraines1396 Ah, and I've since learned that the girl that bang zoom to the moon, Alice'd Angel was Hisako, kinda the second in command of Girls Dead Monster in the main plot
I really hope that someday they can 'remake' angel beats, so we can have the planned 26~ episodes, and give each character the depth and story they should have. Just don't make it a netflix live action adaptation.

@@JumpingTuna bro he actually remembered his past and how he died before confessing to kanade
I love this explanation, like what if his kidneys liver for 20 more years?
I always thought that was the reason aswell
@@kanade3298 well, you would know better than any of us, Kanade!

Although this was the first anime that i’ve watched, it was probably one of, if not the most underrated anime’s out there
The iwasawa route on first beat is one of the best route in vn history it's truly a shame that jun maeda has been let down...

Angel Beats will always be my #1, thank you for covering it from your perspective.
I could never really make sense of the MC coming in last and angel saying she has been there for some time
some dude said he showed up after the rest of the people with his other organs died, makes sense
Are you soft-banned by CZcams?? This is some real quality content, you deserve more views
I wish I could use that as an excuse 😅
Wow this is so underrated.
Just watching this video brings back the feels...

Yusa is a lil stabby, but still my favorite
theory: TK is a reverse version of Kanade, mainly because their initials (TK, KT)
Aren't Japanese names usually family name first? Which means Tachibana Kanade would actually be TK.
