gonna watch this exciting new anime called "angel beats"
i'm told some of the people who worked on it previously were involved in "air", "clannad", "kanon", which are other recent and popular works,
hey it's not that old it aired after bakemonogata--- oh god let's not think about that shall we

WHY DOES THE RED-HAIRED IDIOT HAVE ARARAGI'S VOICE ACTOR AAAAAAAAA
hikari_no_yumes only want one thing and it's disgusting (shows about insane girls who constantly murder an immortal boy voiced by kamiya hiroshi)
oh fuck oh god there's a girl with red hair in this who has Kanbaru Suruga's voice actress this is going to do terrible things to our brain
we clocked her after a single line. still got it (whatever it is)
「神も仏も天使もなし。」
you can see the red-haired idiot with araragi's VA who died a few times already on the left, shaking hands with a purple girl who's some kind of cult leader i think. the red-haired girl with kanbaru's VA is behind purple girl. there's some boys also
Key Coffee lmfao
that's oomf
god I miss the era when NPC was not a loaded term
a character called "otonashi" standing on a rooftop, asking another character if they believe in a god
"gldemo" no you can't abbreviate it like that come on
(finished watching episode 1) what the hell is this show
it's kinda chuuni but not that chuuni. it's kinda isekai but not that isekai. also i don't really know what's going on. though i have my suspicions
the red-haired idiot and the the blue-haired idiot should make out i think
so basically this gang are all immortal and fighting some girl for some very questionable reason and episode two opens with them one by one being eliminated by their own traps on the way to one of their hideouts. it's so stupid i love it
the red-haired idiot sounding exactly like araragi is going to be the death of us
this ladder climbing animation is freakishly smooth
would you trust palette-swapped haruhi
(this is palette-swapped haruhi)
this is such a late-2000's show
third episode will have something to do with music probably? excited
the contrast between the Silly Hijinks and the horribly bleak backstories of the characters in their past lives is... something
alternate universe where kanbaru suruga is numachi rouka and a guitarist and has red hair
128-bit DES encryption? DES is infamously weak, but with 128 bits it might be kind of secure?
i spoke too fucking soon huh https://social.noyu.me/@hikari/statuses/01KD1JB98B905N5WEB1EH6DRHA
what an episode
iwasawa
holy shit the way they change the OP in the fourth episode????
"bro are you being deathflagged right now?"
"<unconvincingly> no way, why would i be--"
what is this fucking show about
a dozen or two students who are obsessed with another student, spending all their time trying to sabotage her, yet somehow only know her as "angel", unable to remember her actual name
the way they fucking cut in the ending music whenever someone dies in a stupid way dfkdshfdhfsd
this is the strangest band anime we have ever seen
mapo tofu
come to angel beats we got
- autistic girl everyone's trying to sabotage for some reason
- palette-swapped haruhi (idiot)
- the boys from penguindrum (idiots) (no they won\t fuck sorry)
- musician girl (tragic)
- musician girl (creature)
- guy who speaks in english all the time
- mamiya takuji (evil yaoi boy edition)
god we keep saying accidentally prophetic things

seven episodes in and while our initial suspicion of one thing this show might be about is bearing some fruit, the show does continue to turn in an unexpected direction almost every episode
a little angel beats before bed... a little angel beats before bed never hurt anybody
fucks me up how much this guy is like araragi honestly
big fan of the "tactics" music from the OST btw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=by108iLKRmA
fascinated by how angel beats has so much musical theming and symbolism and yet it's not really about music but it's also not not about music. also it has a band in it and a meaning of being a musician episode. but it's not really about music. but is it? i don't know
episode 9 is another really heavy one
🎵 いつか人は一人になって思い出の中に生きてくだけ
they're plotting against the pink thing who plays an SG
this show really should've been two cours and we've felt that way about it from the very start
oh my god the overtime monsters are real
this probably was in fact just inserted for "fuck what do we do we only have one cour" reasons but it's cute how this is like a prototype of the monogatari darkness in some sense
does tachibana kanade have superpowers simply because she's very autistic
the concept in fiction that a hacker necessarily has lots of computers is very funny. i mean we do have... checks notes three currently but that's not because we're an elite hacker it's because we're dysfunctional and stubborn and migrating computers is a huge fucking hassle
palette-swapped haruhi really is kinda like haruhi
the ending is cute
Angel Beats is… a good show? it's a lot of different things. I don't think I would personally rank it as a great show. It's not life-changing. It has some wonderful moments though.
sad to report the Angel Beats OVA is mostly pretty tedious in the way OVAs have a tendency to be
...wait are there multiple? okay need to chase that up another time. this remark is about "Stairway to Heaven"
