The Review
What happens when you die? No one knows for sure, but there's quite a number of theories out there. Angel Beats! tackles one of the theories. After a student dies, they're taken to a school in limbo. There they must find a way to either make it into heaven or hell, while protecting their souls from being erased.
The show covers quite a bit of different themes. There's music, baseball, studying, programming, romance, fighting, and of course explanations on how some of the characters died. Some of them have forgotten how they died, but as they interact with the other characters, they soon start to remember.
For being half a season, this show has quite a number of plot twists. It forces the viewer to think and tends to be quite surprising at times. However, the show itself doesn't feel rushed in the least bit and even has a satisfying ending. With such a huge fan base and an interesting concept, I'm wondering if they will ever do another season or not?
