P4 - ep 1
I think I'm done with this series. This episode just made me angry more than anything else. Technically, the anime looks low-budget, with questionable art and animation, but much more annoying is the direction.
The story, music and characters are all true to the original, but instead of ADAPTING them to the anime format, it feels like a direct copypasta from game to anime, with absolutely no consideration for whether any of it actually works in anime form. It's an action sequence? Throw in the fight music, even though it doesn't fit the situation! It's the opening? Throw in AWESOME UPBEAT INTRO MUSIC to accompany a long video of the main character silently riding a train into town!
The episode follows the events of the game closely on paper, but the execution is nonexistent. The story development is needlessly boring. The jokes (which are basically identical to the ones in the game) are poorly executed, not funny, and undercut the plot development due to timing. Everything just feels thrown in there "just because that was how the game was" with no consideration for what made them great in the game.
The references are another thing that bugged me. They're ridiculously overdone. It's neat to slip in reference the game every now and then, but it happens so often in this series and are so awkward that it just comes across as tacky. I hated them for the same reasons I hated T4's throwback lines to the previous movies and the Star Wars prequels' attempts at referencing the originals. Inserting references to a previous work can be charming, but referencing something great does not automatically make your own work great. If you don't do it right, it just comes across as forced and cheesy.
This is my problem with the Angel Beats director. I just don't know what he's doing with things. He constantly undercuts his own attempts at humor, character development, and dramatic tension, and the result is something that is confusing at best and absolute garbage at worst.

So I understand. Hopefully Hotarubi at least will provide a top-notch Natsume style experience from this year.Jexhius said:

They really covered a lot of ground in this episode, perhaps, too much. I think some of the editing feels like it skipped over stuff that I actually needed to see, like how a character got from a to b.
Most of the time, however, this was a great episode. Great story progress and character interactions all presented via excellent, engaging direction (one transition, in particular, was awesome).
I really don't know what they're going to do outside of this
which has been the main focus of the show, but I'm worried that it just won't be as interesting.

I would pick Elsie here, given a choice. However we all know what the result will be.Articalys said:The majority of voters agree with Branduil's opinion of Angel Beats.
B Final
1st 377 Erica Hartmann @ Strike Witches
2nd 323 Kanade Tachibana @ Angel Beats!
All kinds of crazy shit going on in the group finals. At this rate I'd say there's even a good chance of one or two of the Puella Magi getting taken out.
Also I just realized that the very existence of this contest probably just adds fuel to the fire of that CyberConnect 2 guy's argument, but whatever.
It's ok Elsie, we still love you.

This progression is seriously similar to Spiral but on a larger scale.
The Givers all seem to be assholes. Kaidou is taking it pretty well considering he can die at any moment with these psychos making him do puzzle after puzzle with exponentially increasing stakes.

We need more episodes without Sota. It's very nice to see that Yamada is the new main character.
