mean Air > Angel Beats > Clannad
Clannad had its moments
and was enjoyable and had more episodes, but sometimes I knew what was
going to happen and I expected a lot.
The only reason Angel
Beats! just shot up above it was because that out of left field reveal
about Kanade having Otonashi's heart and I was genuinely not
expecting that. It's because of this 'shotgun blast' like load of info
fired at you that it just takes you from sniffling to sobbing in a
matter of seconds.
It's also inbetween because of it's ending.
Had I not seen the broadcast and see the small epilogue scene, I
definitely would have felt like, 'OMG, THIS IS MORE PAINFUL THAN AIR BECAUSE THERE'S ONLY LOSS
AND NO GAIN! HE'S ALONE, SHE'S GONE, THE PERSON HE SAVED AND LOVED,
HE'LL NEVER SEE HER AGAIN!!!'
Yeah, to some, it's gonna be
forced drama but you know what? I don't fucking care. I enjoyed it
because it was executed properly. If you wanna have good drama, you have
to have good timing accompany it. And as far as I am concerned, that
was the best timing I'd ever seen, even better than Air because you know
from about 3 episodes prior to the ending what's going to happen to the
protagonist.
So yeah, fuck all the haters, I enjoyed my ride
through this show and it went out with a great ending. The people who
genuinely hated this show missed out, had they stopped taking it so
seriously and worrying about whether or not it met their level of
approval, they would like it too. I know that's how I felt at least... |
