let's read 『Angel Beats! -1st beat-』! (in japanese)

previously: the anime https://social.noyu.me/@hikari/statuses/01KD145C0QP5J7Q4KN3F7X6XKC

「目覚めた。」

you ever wake up in an unfamiliar place with amnesia and then immediately get asked if you want to enroll in the 「死んでたまるか戦線」 by a sniper rifle-wielding colour-swapped suzumiya haruhi?

(this is sniper rifle-wielding colour-swapped suzumiya haruhi)

wow there's a choice right in the first scene — yurippe is trying to convince you that you're dead, and you have what appears to be the option to believe her or not to believe her.

i think this'll be more interesting if i choose not to, so let's see how that goes…

a lot of this is because we're reading through it at a quite slow pace (we have to look up a lot of words, including ones we supposedly already know), but the feeling of the opening feels so different in text with this looping mysterious background music. cool VN feel I guess

that's oomf

reading through this opening scene at such a slow pace with the dramatic music is really emphasising how haruhi-like and ridiculous yurippe is

oh god there's another choice. I wonder if it's possible to wind yurippe up enough that she gives up on you immediately and you get a bad end or something. that would be fun

anyway I think this is where I'll stop for today. I'm having fun!
