Title?! submitted by laughterxatxdawn on July 27, 2012, 9:49pm While most Key series deal with their signature mix of romance and drama leading up to one (or many) deaths, Angel Beats! is set in a post-death purgatory and the romance (and also to a fair extent, the drama) are very much suppressed. Comedy and mystery are the order of the day.

yes submitted by unknown on July 29, 2013, 6:16pm This series is short; It's 13 episodes. However, it accomplishes so much in that short timespan.

The series starts out like an action series, but it's so much more than that. It is potentially one of the most well-rounded series I have ever watched; Action, comedy, drama, and even a bit of romance are all covered - in amazing fashion - and by the end, the viewer is left emotionally attached to the characters, allowing for a good cry at the finale. The character development is very strong, but unfortunately the briefness of the series renders it impossible to cover EVERYONE'S backstory, which leaves you wishing for more a bit. That said, I am completely and utterly satisfied with the series as a whole. Each episode leaves you wanting to watch the next one, without an overly heavy use of cliffhangers.

It is very rare to come across a gem like this: Short, very well written, and executed nearly flawlessly. I would strongly recommend fans of ANY genre of anime to watch this. Even if this isn't the type of series you normally watch, this one is worth branching out to - I guarantee it.
