Before everything else, Angel Beats is an anime which dives into a world where people who get stuck in it because they died with regrets or, more or less, were not able to fulfill their dreams. This another concept of what we call "purgatory". Human souls are sucked into this world and we then find the protagonist, Otonashi, who suddenly finds himself waking up in this world without an inkling of what is happening. Imagine waking up one day only to find someone who suddenly tells you "You are dead". Otonashi joins this certain group who calls themself the Afterlife Battlefront and fights with them against a girl whom they call "Angel" or tenshi in japanese. From here on, he struggles together with his newfound friends to understand what the purpose of this world's creation to human souls such as theirs.
I love this anime because it had lots of emotional stuffs going on amidst all the battles of the Afterlife Battlefront. The ending was quite heart-wrenching too but, nevertheless, quite satisfying and unexpected too. The anime's soundtrack is also very good and we get to see this anime band called "Girls Dead Monster" which is of course was made for this anime only but their songs were quite good. I loved their "Crow Song" the best.
Well, what more can I say? This anime is amazing! I recommend this to anyone who wants a lot of action in an anime with humor and emotional stuff! Have a great time watching this unique anime that would satisfy your needs of a totally different kind of anime.
