Angel Beats 1-3! The dead think they are rebelling against God.

- Not as funny as it tries to be
+ Lead male character voiced by...surprise, Hiroshi Kamiya
+ Nice opening

Quick impressions~ Wasn't going to watch this, but I saw that it had music. Otonashi wakes up at a school. He learns that he is dead, and that the students at the school are fighting angels, or rather, one particular angel. The kids are lead by Suzumiya Haruhi's clone. The first episode is focused on recruiting Otonashi, and convincing him that the angel after them is dangerous. The second episode has the group of students trying to load up on weapons. This show seems to be a potluck gathering of anime cliches complete with in-jokes. Episode 3 is about the high school band used as a distraction to divert the Angel while the gang breaks into her room. We learn that the dead 'pass on' once satisfied. I guess these characters all have sob stories that need reconciled? The in-jokes are mildly amusing, but I can't say any of the characters really brought the show to life or made me want more. pass...

They're not even trying with that one girl's character design, are they?

anime creators seem to latch on to certain trends every season. a bossy female character wearing a big ribbon in her hair is just so cool nowadays. :/
