Cool, realistic anime ... I never thought I'd live to see that

>>36989195
It's funny because this anime was terrible except the last episode and even then it was barely above average.

Also I think you're being really biased OP... perhaps you've never been past the friend-zone?

Does it matter? If Otonashi was in FFTactics, he'd be the guy that fought for what he believed was right.

He died nameless, while some attentionwhore turned into a king and got recorded as a national hero for manipulating people, If you ask me, If i was to walk in Otonashi's path, I will never look back.

"I love you."

"Thank you."

Son of a bitch...

Otonashi is an asshole. He makes everyone go poof while making it out to be this great thing everyone should do, and then turns around and asks her to stay.

OH FUCK, I'M OTONASHI

>>36989387
Ramza was eventually recognized for his deeds. It just took 300 years is all

>>36989392
Also, I really doubt he actually gave a shit about anyone's past / tried to understand anyone. Like with Yui, he would have been completely fucked if Hinata didn't show up.

OP, replaced 'another girl' with 'another guy' and you're set!

saved

>>36989195

You mean like in Nanoha?

>>36989502
Fate didn't treat Nanoha like shit.

>>36989392
that's what made the ending so fucking awesome

as I said before, love is selfish

>>36989429
Yes, but he died doing the right thing. Otonashi did the right thing, if it was Anon, he'd probably go for the choice that benefits him the most.

So much for Kanade love right there.

ootanashi was a fucking douchebag. he was just like "lol imma make them all disappear and then TENSHI IS MINE MINE ALONE"

Nope, Kanade would have been cruel to acknowledge those particular feelings before leaving. Yuzuru was clearly not thinking properly when he said, "Let's stay here forever," as it is completely antithetical to the stated theme of the show and that which he tries to convince (and succeeds) the rest of the cast into believing: life is a precious thing that should be embraced. Staying there is tantamount to not living. In his mindset, he could have easily decided to take over the position as the Programmer and wait forever for Kanade, as the last Programmer did, if he had sufficient motivation -- i.e. Kanade's indication that he should wait there again for her indefinitely rather than moving on.

Sorry that it's a little too DEEP for you to understand, though, /a/non.

Knights in shining armor.

Nobody wants the job, but somebody's got to do it.
You know what you get for being a hero? you get shot at. hurt. a pat on the back, an atta-boy.
You spend long hours out of your way to help others, you end up lonely. sometimes it doesn't seem like the effort is worth anything at all.
The girls don't speak to you, your friends take you for granted.
so then why do you do it?
Because there's no one else to do it. If it wasn't for you, there wouldn't be a knight in shining armor.
So buck the fuck up.
you may not get your princess, But you still saved the mother fucking day.

Sooooo...
What about that little tidbit in the end?
And where is my youtube video of ALL of TK's lines?

Who the fuck cares? Angel Beats was a steaming pile of shit.

>>36989529

She did in the first half of S1.

>>36989568
if i was there was there i would not concern myself with wooing a girl
nay
i would try to become the true god of that world.

>>36989596
So in reality, it's all for self-satisfaction.

>>36989568
>Ramza

>Died for the truth

Um.... Were you paying attention to the ending? No bodies were ever found from the sight and Orlan sees Ramza and Alma riding off into the sunset but his disbelief makes him reconsider what he saw. Ramza lived in obscurity after his actions but he didn't die for them

>>36989596

Shut up Ishida. Man the fuck up first, then talk.

In the end, what Otonashi did was pretty much unnecessary. Even if disappearing is a good thing, everyone will eventually disappear. They have plenty of time so why hurry? They have things in the afterlife that they used to not have, so why not let them savor that feeling?

the ending made this anime worth my time

>>36989696
Because LOLSHADOWS

>>36989596
>>36989195

Oh lol. His face screams "OH no! I'm the friend box!"

>>36989570
>>36989392
That's called "human nature" -- people are fallible, may change opinions based upon events that occur and can lose sight of the bigger picture. You can try to convince yourself that he was a jerk all along, that everything he did was but a facade used to manipulate himself into a world that he and Kanade could be alone in, but I don't think that's the intent his character's portrayal is supposed to have.

>>36989696
because he is a moralfag

>>36989775
i dont watch fictitious shows to see realism

WHERE IS MY TK BACKSTORY?
Really, is there hope that we could see what happens in those "three days"? Like what everyone lacked in their school life or some shit like that.

Selfish bitch deserved his bad end. On the other hand, selfless all-loving Yuri got Kanade-chan. I'd say there is justice in that world.

>>36989643
Then Nanoha befriended her. Which also happened with Yuri.

>>36989696
It's not a "real life." It is choosing to live in a sandbox reality. Once again, you missed the theme that "real life is worthwhile."

I like how throughout the episodes, Otonashi is all cool and friendly, and in the end, he shows his real human side

really good ending, imo

>>36989846
What the hell was the point of Yuri's speech when she was an NPC then?

>>36989846
what exactly distinguishes it from real life?

Otonashi is a hero. Anyone who says otherwise doesn't know shit.

Don't mind me, just being the superior protagonist.

>>36989815
so you wanted a 'YEAH BROTONASHI, LET'S LIVE HERE FOREVER LOL' or a 'I LOVED YOU, KANADE, BUT LIKE THE COOL GUY I AM, I'LL LET YOU GO LOL' ending

>>36989696
>They have things in the afterlife that they used to not have
Which is what cause disappearance. Obviously, not everyone had them in afterlife, or they'd disappear unconsciously. To have "mass disappearance events" some crazy thing is needed.

He is not worthy of this

>>36989916
What the fuck are you talking about?

>>36989920
There are a million times as many people in "real life" than in the afterlife they were in. Kanade's montage also shows the loneliness that occurs when you befriend people and they invariably pass on, but you cannot/choose not to. There was no indication they could travel away from the school grounds, either, so it would be like choosing to live in your parent's basement your entire life and never travel.

>>36990108
>to live in your parent's basement your entire life and never travel.
what of it?

>>36989389
"I love you"
long hug
"Thank you"
disappear
spaz out grabbing the air

;_;

>>36990194
bitch tears started flowing out right after this

his entire after-existence was so some girl could say thank you.
oh well, guess sometimes our lives are bad.

STEP OFF MUTHAFUKKA

SOMEONE BUST ME A PHAT BEAT YO

IMMA 'BOUT TO DROP ONE UNTZ UNTZ UNTZ UNTZ UNTZ

>>36990108
When the shadow finally gets her, she makes a speech about how she could start over if she wanted to, but chooses to remain herself and fight for the SSS.

Granted, she eventually finishes fighting, but the whole speech was to point out the reason to continue "living" in that world.

Really, there is no difference in existence. You exist or you don't. Alive or dead don't really matter. Most major religions in fact, tell you that the afterlife is much better.

>>36989846
Really? What's the big difference between the afterlife and real life? In the afterlife, the only thing that's really missing are just disease and all that other jazz. Even if reality is worth living in, the afterlife is still pretty good. You have friends, you have those who trust you, and you can do things that you've never done before. If that isn't heaven, then what is? Why choose to go back to suffering?

never watched the anime so what happened at the end he told tenshi he loved her?

>>36990273
More like pure serendipity allowed him to save Kanade twice over by suffering memory loss upon his death.

>>36990019
Which is exactly my point. There is no need for mass disappearances. They will disappear eventually so why force the point?

>>36990326
Slaanesh

I hated the last episode.

It´s like the studio said:
"Fuck this shit, let´s develop the characters between 2 episodes without showing anything and hope that people will BAWWWW".

Well, I was fucking confused after I saw the last 2 episodes.

It felt like Angel Beats! was getting cancelled and they had to cram all their shit into 50 minutes.

>Die a hero
>Wander into a purgatory in which you don't even belong
>Help everyone disappear
>Stranded there alone for who knows how long
>Man up and get the fuck out of there
>Meet your honey on the other side

Well, doesn't matter. Looks to me like in the next life he's going to be fucking that bitch raw.

>>36990298
I lol'd

>>36990326
see
>>36990108
You can choose to interpret it as a potential paradise, and then you and the Programmer would have the same mindset. But it is a pale imitation of reality, albeit one with less corporeal limitations, and a kind of immortality built in.

just imagine the love of your death vanishing right in your arms, shit's gotta hurt
