Review:
Angel Beats could very well be renamed The Afterlife of Haruhi Suzumiya, save that it's not as fun as Haruhi and the characters aren't as compelling. That said, it's a good show - lots of fun, good characters, some nice action, and then when it ends you look around for a tissue and hope no one caught you sobbing like a child over a TV show that starts out with a loli stabbing some guy in the gut just to prove to him that he can't die.
I'm looking forward to season two. Season one went a little too far with some things and didn't give us nearly enough backstory for nearly enough characters (and way too goddamn much backstory for some of them, god.)
This is one to watch, definitely. Just get tissues ready for that last ep. Holy stuff.
