So, why was it a hit?
>>283819707It was on Netflix and pretty accessible. Same reason Welcome to the NHK was bigger than it normally would have been
>>283819813Netflix didn't even exist when this show aired
>>283819707The comedy and varied side cast. It also just hit at the right time when all the tropes it used were in.
>>283819813This must be an AI post
>>283820010i believe in the power of human retardation
>>283819707Cheap melodrama sells well, at least it have a memorable soundtrack.
>>283819707It was good unlike Kamisama
is this any good? back then i avoided it since the promo images reek of "completely not haruhi"
>>283820010Nah, you'd just put in an order and they'd mail you the DVDs within the week. No wonder the series became so popular
It should've been little busters...
>>283820113Do (You) like Clannad? If yes go ahead.
>>283819707Retarded kuudere sell
>>283819953Netflix did exist, but I doubt that Angel Beats was part of its catalogue at the time, and at any rate they hadn't really built up a significant user base yet.
>why was a key thing popularRetarded question. They were building on an already existant fanbase.
>>283819707Why does he look like an anime character
>>283819707>preasu cry
>ABKANG thread
>>283819707It didn't end with a retarded vegetable girl
>>283819707It aired a year after Clannad After Story, back when Key was still a big thing.
>>283820113I don't like any of his other works or Key stuff, but I liked Angel Beats. Its short, doesn't overstay its welcome, and the plot moments hit hard.
>>283819707If it’s such a hit where’s the rest of the visual novel episodes
>>283819707>best vinnie this>best vinnie that>{HE} joins the chat>Maruto shivering>R07 getting bullied>Shimizu Hatsumi Smirking>SCA-Ji doing it in his pants>Narahara feeling betrayed
>>283819953As the other poster mentioned, Netflix is much older than you think. They used to literally deliver you DVDs in the mail, that you would return by dropping them back in the post office box for pick up.

>>283821061Kageaki would never kneel
>>283819813
>>283819707Up to around episode 10 is the best anime ever made, but then the last couple of episodes ruin it.
It was touching, had cute girls, had an interesting premise, and didn't overstay its welcome. It may not have done anything ultra groundbreaking but it also didn't make any mistakes
>>283819707Right place at the right time with its tone and themes. I don't really know if it would have worked if it released a few years after, especially when you consider how all the spinoff projects died off in one way or another.
TK stole every scene he was in.
>>283821035cant believe someone shat out this many crybaitslops
The rise of girl's music drama anime signals that we're going to get an Angel Beats revival starting with a show centered around the Heaven's Door arc where Girls Dead Monster is formed. Trust me, my dad works at Jun Maeda.
>>283819813>schizo babble
>>283819707no
>>283819707Honestly? It was just fun. Just over the top teenagers do wacky shit and able to get away with it because they're already dead. that element also gets to introduce some serious and heartrending moments in the occasions it's touched on. that and decent artstyle and OST is all you needed at the time. the worst part of the series is its short length (garbage last few episodes)
>>283821053Man it’s weird that this isn’t common knowledge anymore. Time is a bitch.
>>283819707Maeda can write great comedy SoL scenes but cant wrap up a show to save his life.
>>283819813Chatgpt
>>283819707It made me cry :(
Ironic because angel beats is the closest in quality to his previous works especially compared to kamisama or charlotte.
>>283819707idk, but I cry everytime I hear the ending theme again
>>283819707Ask him why kaMIDsama bombed as hard as it did, the reminder will make him leave social media again kek
>>283819813>Same reason Welcome to the NHK was bigger than it normally would have beenwhat the fuck are you even trying to communicate?
>>283821035It's a great shame that he got so mindbroken on Xitter that he can barely pick up the pen again.
