The animation itself is often uneven, having lost the flow of the original, and watching the members of the SSS run around with their tension meters going crazy (seriously Maeda, you and your euphemisms), can make one wonder what the point of the episode is.īut what about all the wonderful (for a given value of wonder), music I hear you cry?
The attempt to make a parody has resulted in characters that are strangely devoid of any charm while making weird poses and facial expressions.
Take the design and animation for example, as there's a substantial drop in the quality of both. not what one would expect after watching the main series. It often feels as though the episode was made as an afterthought, and pretty much everything about it is. The thing is, there's a certain arrogance to the manner in which this little tale of a day in purgatory is delivered. This episode has no purpose to it whatsoever, and unless your idea of a story is a vague attempt at parodical humour, then there's nothing to see here, so you might as well move along. In the main series the plans of the SSS had some purpose that, while a tad ridiculous, had a point to them, but here the only thing left is ridiculous. The main problem with the plot is that it seems to have been thought up by a highly sugared and caffeinated Maeda Jun, who's gone without sleep for a week. revolves around a little "tension meter" in the bottom left corner of the screen, and a new plan envisioned by Nakamura Yuri, the leader of the Shinda Sekai Sensen, that targets "the angel". This little addition to Angel Beats went with the latter method, but is it really playing to the strengths of the series by doing this? One of these methods is the offer the so-called "unaired episode", which is essentially nothing more than a single episode OVA which can act as an addendum to the main story, provide closure to certain plot threads, allow for a new perspective on certain characters, or simply give the viewer something fun to watch. DVDs and BRDs are the lifeblood of the anime industry, and there's many a hook that's used to make us part with our hard earned cash.
