Here we go, with another review!
I am going to die, oh wait I can't because its angel beats woop!
So what is this story about you may ask? (I'm hoping you already know the story because if you don't, why are you looking at reviews that are filled with spoilers you baka?!)
Meet our main character Yuzuru Otonashi, we start with him in the real world. Were he is constantly worrying about his sister since she has cancer, so I can keep this short she dies! And loses his will to live, but then magically he gets woo! he tries to become a doctor and gets on a train were he is going to take an exam for doctor stiff, tdlr: train crashes, gets buried in tunnel, works together with the survivors to stay alive, eventually runs out of resources, takes out a donor card and circles everything and all the survivors do the same, then he dies once he has done that, but at the same time the survivors are finally getting rescued
(i kept that short and brief as possible because the beginning is nice and all but we need the main story)
so in the world he gets transported to, a place were teens go to, so they can live a happy teen life, and they are only sent there to do just that.
And he meets the leader of a group who refuses to take part in the regular school life, they are trying to defeat a person who they call angel, and hell goes down from there( in a good way)
Other than the horrible plot explanation above, the story I found to be entertaining.
As our MC and the group he is with go through this adventure and gets rid of angel once and for all, they find themselves bored and they soon find a new enemy that an NPC made(NPC's are other students or teachers that aren't actually real people) but in the end they also get defeated. Which the second enemy just seemed like filler to me in the end, what really stuck out to me is how the MC goes on a path of freeing everyone from the world that all those people are in, and he succeeds in that.
But really the ending... the ending gives out a lot of emotions and rounds off the series quite well ( i have said a lot of spoilers already, but I am not going to say what the ending is)
I can say that the series was worth watching, although I was mainly expecting a music anime, that wasn't what I walked into at all. instead, I found an anime that shows you many perspectives on the world that they are in and stories of how they're life went, with eventually finding peace.
I'm going to give this nice heartfelt series a 95/100, it's not perfect because of the second enemy, but it makes up for it quite well.
