Just finished getting caught up. I thought episode 10 was rather enjoyable,
Spoiler :
even if the relationship was slightly forced (I mean yes, they interacted with one another, but this interaction was for comedy relief. Suddenly it actually meant something?) I loved 10's endng montage with Yui and Hinata, though.
Episode 11 was all kind of crazy.
Spoiler :
Firstly, shadows? Well they've yet to explain them officially: God's minions to make people NPC's or else? Pretty much. So buff glasses man gets devoured by one of these guys and becomes an NPC. Yurippe's plan: let Otonashi tell everyone his old plan. Avoid shaodws at all costs. Don't get eaten.

There was no (and I can't emphasize this more), NO emotional feelings from ANYONE for buff glasses man's predicament. I mean sure they can't exactly bring him back to his normal self because they don't know how, but that doesn't mean that you can merely shrug it off and move on with your plan. At least have a moment of shock, for pete's sake.
I think this show would've been better if it was longer: I have a feeling the final 2 episodes won't be structured well.
Spoiler :
Also, hoho so Angel is just another human, eh. So Key decides to pull a fast one and state a fact that NO ONE IN THE AUDIENCE questioned. So now we have a whole new line of confusion: if she's normal, than why does she have these crazy powers? Their explanation: Because she has a purpose.
I seriously hope they explain that more, or else I'm going to be really ticked off for the next few episodes.

Spoiler :
Angel did say she wasn't an angel in the first ep. Her powers, just like the shadows, are computer programmed (or so I assume), so I'm guessing if you are able to obtain a computer, you can gain powers. I'm guessing the vice president's hypnosis is also from a computer program. How you obtain one, besides stealing from the lab, I guess is the question. But then again, they are president and vice president of the school so they may have gotten theirs as part of the job. Or something.

Was totally waiting for one of those shadows to walk up and go "Mr. Anderson... you disappoint me."
Heh, I was kinda thinking the same thing, actually.

I was one of the 'hates Angel Beats because of the graphical glitches in ep 01' crowd sad to say. After all these eps, it's no Haruhi, but it hasn't been a mess either.

It's not my number 1 choice of 2010 though.
Anime, one of the few things about the internet that doesn't make me hate the internet.

The closest person that is comparable to the Oracle so far would be Angel, I would believe.

That would leave Yurippe as Neo. Since Brotonashi seem to have a thing for Angel, I think he'd make a good Morpheus. That would leave that axe halberd crazy dude as Trinity. Shiina could also fill that role, but I think she'd make a better Oracle's Bodyguard dude. Haven't really thought about the others.
Now I kinda feel like watching the Trilogy again.

Oh my god. Episode 13 was so sad. I could barely keep myself from crying :cry:
Spoiler :
Oh and....how is the very last scene possible? Otonashi doesn't have a heart. Was he reborn? Did Kanade ever really die, or was she simply unconscious? If she died, were they both reborn with their memories in tact? Was the last scene heaven? Did Otanashi decide to stay, or did he go with Kanade? Was everyone reborn? Does that mean that Hinata and Yui really got married? Does Yuri get reunited with her siblings?
I'd love to get a extra OVA episode to tie up these unanswered questions. I really hope that Angel Beats gets licensed in America. Oh and......I love Kanade <3

EDIT: YES! There actually will be a extra OVA. This is exactly what I wanted. http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/20 ... ed-special
