However, the episodes that were made are still more than enough. They could have done so much more with another 13 episodes. It was originally intended to be 26 episodes, but for some reason was cut down to only 13. My only problem with this series is that it should've been twice as long. They provide a very nice soundtrack to some scenes. The animation is spot-on (they even go so far as to match the actual chords that are being played) and the songs are very catchy, even if you don't speak Japanese. The musical performances by the fictional band in the anime, Girls Dead Monster, are really exceptional. You can relate to each character incredibly well, because they are presented as human beings, and this sucks you completely into the story. Each flashback is very emotional, very real, and, most importantly, human. Several flashbacks are placed throughout the series to give some of the characters' backstories. Otonashi joins the Battlefront, and so the story begins. Abiding by the rules results in disappearing, supposedly due to being erased by Angel and/or God. Their main target is "Angel," a girl who they believe is, as the name suggests, an angel created by God to watch over and enforce the rules of the afterlife (which takes the form of a huge boarding school). He meets Nakamura Yuri, the leader of the Afterlife Battlefront, a group of young people in the afterlife who are rebelling against God for giving them cruelly unfair lives. Otonashi Yuzuru wakes up in the afterlife with no recollection of how he died. I'd definitely recommend watching a subtitled version as opposed to the dubbed version, as the dub has all sorts of mistakes and the voices do get on your nerves. It has everything that makes a great story. Angel Beats is my favorite anime of all time.
